Foundation Repair Payment Options
Financing Your Foundation Repair
Foundation repair can be a costly and necessary expense for homeowners, and financing can help to make it more affordable. These options can allow homeowners to spread out the cost of foundation repair over time, making it more feasible for their budget. Foundation repair financing can be a helpful solution for homeowners who need to address foundation issues but may not have the funds available to pay for it all at once.
G.L. Hunt Foundation Repair offers a variety of financing programs to fit your needs. We’ll be happy to go over all of our financing programs in detail, but below you will find a little information about each one!
How To Pay For Foundation Repair
Our team strives to think of your safety and comfort above all else, which is why we offer a few insights into common ways our customers afford their foundation repair services.
- Homeowners insurance policy — If the damage was caused to your home by a burst pipe or other danger, you may be able to file a claim with your homeowners insurance policy. Your insurance company will be able to tell you if foundation repair is covered by your policy.
- Grant opportunities — You may be eligible for government assistance programs like those offered by the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Department of Agriculture or the State. If you need help financing foundation repairs, inquire about local grants and low-cost loans.
- Personal loans — You can finance foundation repair through G.L. Hunt’s preferred lenders. To increase your chances of qualifying for a low-interest loan, be sure to check your credit report for errors and fix them before you apply.
- Home equity loan or home improvement loan — If your home has sufficient equity to borrow against, this is a very common way of financing home repairs. Consult your banker for more information.
