Types of decks and costs associated with building them
There are different types of decks for your customers to choose from, including pool decks, patio decks, multi-level decks, composite decks, wood decks, hot tub decks and patio decks.
The deck your customer chooses will be based on the materials selected, the size of the deck, and other home improvement projects associated with the deck installation. For example, a basic wood deck will cost less than a composite deck. But if someone wants a deck with a roof, you’ll need to factor in the cost of the roof as well.
The size of the deck will obviously impact the price, with smaller decks being more affordable than larger ones.
Available deck financing options
You can offer deck financing to your customers through a line of credit, credit cards, or personal loans. Each option has its own set of pros and cons that you’ll need to consider.
A line of credit is a good option if you need a lot of money for the deck project and you want to give customers the flexibility to pay it back over time. The downside is that they’ll need to have good credit to qualify and they may be required to make interest payments even when they don’t use the line of credit.
Credit cards can be a good way to finance a deck project if your customers have good credit and can pay off the balance quickly. The downside is that they’ll likely have to pay interest on the balance if they don’t pay it off in full each month.
Personal loans are another option for financing deck projects. The benefit of personal loans is that customers can get a fixed interest rate and may be able to get a lower rate if they have good credit. The downside is that they’ll need to make monthly payments and may not be able to borrow as much money as they need.
Ways that financing boosts your deck contracting
By offering financing, you can translate expensive home improvements into low monthly fees. This keeps your customers from compromising on the deck they always wanted – in fact, it can help them to upgrade to a deck that they never thought would be possible. Using financing, contractors can close more projects that are worth more money, which helps them to grow their business.
Decks are an immensely popular home addition
More than 50% of new houses built in 2019 featured decks. This shows how high the demand for these structures has risen. While the people who purchase these houses likely won’t need another deck built for years, the fact that home builders include a deck in the majority of their designs indicates their popularity. Handy, headache-free financing lets you tap into the demand for decks throughout the country.
Solid financial backing opens up the full range of deck options
Decks come in a huge range of sizes and potential materials. Each combination of area and construction material (pressure-treated wood, redwood, cedar, composite, etc.) offers advantages and disadvantages. A financing partner helps greatly in making your customer’s dollar go further. You can keep more options on the table, including higher-end deck builds, leading to more satisfied customers and quality decks.
Financing lets you do a thorough job with deck construction
Modern financing services make it much easier to upsell additional deck features. A roof, deck enclosure, or sunroom improves the year-round comfort of a deck, while a roof in particular helps reduce weathering. With these additions costing just a few extra dollars a month rather than a large up-front investment, homeowners are more likely to want them – and potentially raise your word-of-mouth reputation and referrals after they discover how practical these improvements are.
Deck financing makes it easier for your customers to afford a new deck
As a deck contractor with financing, it will be easier for your customers to afford a new deck, and cover the cost of materials, labor, and other associated expenses. When you partner with a home improvement financing service, you can offer your customers flexible payment options that fit their budget. This can help you close more sales and grow your business.

Promotional Programs - the difference between PowerPay and other banks
There are several types of promotional loans. PowerPay offers two types. Same as Cash and 12 months and 18 months no payment promotions. First, PowerPay promotional loans are not credit cards. They are unsecured personal installment loans. The main difference between a credit card loan and PowerPay promotion is the interest rate once the promotion is over. In most credit card “teaser” promotions that rate, once the promotion ends, will be in excess of 29%. Our loans, once the promotion ends will be approximately 12.99% for 10 years with no prepayment penalties so customers can pay off whenever they like. We don’t like the credit card promotions because the fees are excessive and we’ve seen too many people get hit with accelerated payments and massive fees. It’s just unfair and most contractors don’t seem to care what the customer pays after they’ve completed their job.
With uncertainty in the economy and financial markets we believe that if a customer wants to use the promotion and then pay it over time, it should be at a fair and reasonable rate. Most contractors and dealers offer “teaser” promotions as a marketing tool but at the end of the day, only consumers will above-average credit qualify. PowerPay offers promotions for customers at many credit levels.
Our same as cash promotions essentially allow the customer to make a purchase and pay off the loan in equal monthly installments similar to how you purchase an iPhone. These programs are offered with the lowest fees in the industry. Ask your sales rep for more information.
