Home Exterior Siding Financing for Your Clients
Most clients understand the importance of home upkeep and regular maintenance. However, as a contractor you know the downsides of putting these projects off. A necessary siding project which is delayed will only incur more costs as additional weather damage penetrates the home.
When clients are constrained by budget and large upfront costs, they often decide to delay home improvement projects or downgrade on materials used to save money. As a contractor partnered with a quality lender you can help your clients avoid these home improvement pitfalls by spreading the full cost of the project over time allowing the necessary repairs to move forward while eliminating the client’s financial burden.

The Benefits of Offering Financing for Exterior and Siding Installation
The siding of a home is the first line of defense against the weather and helps to regulate the internal climate of the home. There are multiple choices when choosing siding. Fiber Cement – Hardie Plank, Stucco and Stone Veneer are great options with different price points. As a Contractor, you know that a home’s siding is one of the most important features in curb appeal and maintaining safety and protection, but that depending on materials and home sizes, siding an entire home can be costly.
With average costs of siding a 2000-sq ft house running between $5,000 to $15,000, partnering with a quality lender offers many advantages for both you and your clients. Financing creates more affordable siding projects with low monthly payments and long repayment terms, allowing you to complete work faster and saving clients’ money for the investments that matter, like top quality and durable siding materials.
Greater Financing Gives Clients More Options for High-Quality Construction Materials for Exterior Siding Projects
The first thing most people notice when arriving at a home is the home’s exterior including the stucco, stone or siding. The color, the texture, the material used all play a role in the overall feel of the home. Even more so, as the first line of defense against weather and the responsibility for climate control, durable siding materials are more important than ever.
However, with increased durability comes increased costs; cheaper siding materials like vinyl siding, cost anywhere from $5-13 per sq foot while top-quality, high-end materials like stucco, brick and stone veneer can cost considerably more ranging from $8 all the way up to $31 per sq foot.
Backed by a quality financial partner, you can tote the durability and high-end look of top-quality materials to your clients all while translating high material costs into low monthly payments with long term repayment options. No longer will you need to worry about using the cheapest and most affordable materials, but instead on what the best materials for the home are.
Financing Allows You to Start & Complete a Siding Project Right Away
Although the average cost of a siding project can vary due to the home size and project scope, customer’s typically spend about $10,000 for new siding materials and installation, which can be a lot to worry about upfront.
As a contractor, you know that putting off a new siding project, or decreasing the scope can lead to additional problems, color mismatches and increased costs down the road, but having a quality lending partner allows you and your client to get your siding projects done immediately and efficiently.
Quality lending partners pay you, as the contractor, directly upfront for the project and collect monthly payments from your clients after the project is completed. This gives you the money and freedom to get started on the siding project right away and your clients the freedom to approve the work without having to worry about large upfront installments. Plus these home improvement loans can be paid off at any time with no prepayment penalty fees.
Increase Potential Referrals from Satisfied Siding Customers
When your client is able to choose their preferred materials and get their job done quickly and efficiently all while benefiting from the backing of low monthly payment financing, they are more likely to refer you to family and friends for their home improvement needs.
With a great lending partner your customers can afford the siding project that is right for them while also providing:
- Affordable interest rates from 4.99% (an APR of 9% is considered excellent)
- Simple and quick application process with approvals in as little as 60 seconds
- Long loan terms, ranging up to 15 years. The longer the term the lower the payments.
Offering Financing Saves You & Your Clients Valuable Time
Having the ability to offer financing directly to your clients reduces their burden of having to coordinate with multiple companies at once or having to wait for the bank to make a decision. Combining financing and contracting allows you and the client to focus on the important details of the project without the delay of a third party.
Top lending partners also include features like widgets, buttons and links that can be added directly to your website allowing customers who are interested in getting prequalified for a home improvement loan can instantly approved for financing up to $100,000 without hidden fees or penalties.
The one-stop-shop of offering financing combined with the ease of sign up and approvals will save both you and your clients time in the long run.

Offering Home Exterior Siding Financing FAQ
Is a Siding Project Large Enough to Warrant Financing for My Clients?
Yes it is! Home improvement loans start for as little as $1,500 and can extend all the way up to $100,000. With siding projects ranging in costs from anywhere as small as $5,000 to upwards of $20,000, financing can translate these large costs into low, monthly payments, making siding projects more affordable for you and your clients.

Do Financing Companies Charge Fees to Contractors or Their Customers for Siding Projects?
Typically financing companies charge contractors anywhere from 5-8% in contractor fees, but some financial lenders have eliminated these fees altogether. Eliminating fees can save contractors thousands of dollars per year by reducing their accounting expenses and increasing their bottom-line.
Does New Siding Increase Home Value?
In short, yes, having new siding increases the market value of a home. Depending on the materials used, siding can recoup anywhere from 60% to upwards of 80% of the total project costs, with vinyl and fiber-cement siding returning an average of 75% of costs making siding an appealing home improvement option for homeowners.
Is There a Benefit to Financing a Siding Home Improvement Project Even if Clients Can Afford the Cost Out of Pocket?
Yes, there are great benefits that come with financing any home improvement project. With a loan provider who offers instant approvals, low APRs and low monthly payments, many clients may find that they are now able to expand the scope of their home improvement project while still having their savings for future needs. Plus a $10,000 loan for siding will result in a monthly loan of $100 per month – an affordable payment for an important project like this.
Also, a great loan provider charges no prepayment penalties to clients who can afford to pay their loan back sooner instead of waiting the full term, so there really is no downside to financing the project.

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.
