It starts with a free inspection and a written estimate with photos and the exact price; then, if you ask, we explain the financing available for your project, along with the payment schedule and start date, before any work begins. Call or text 973-200-1617.
How does roof replacement financing work with Terra Nova?
You get the exact written price first, then decide how you want to pay. The order is simple:
- Free inspection. We look at the roof, the attic and the flashing, and take photos and measurements.
- Written estimate. The full scope and exact price, in writing, with photos of what we found.
- Financing conversation. If you want to finance, ask us and we'll explain what's available for your project.
- Schedule. Once you approve the estimate and the financing is settled, we set the start date.
Financing is available for larger projects; options and terms depend on the project and approval — ask us and we'll explain what's available when we give your written estimate. You'll see the details in writing before you commit to anything.
Ways to pay for a new roof, compared
Most homeowners pay for a roof replacement in one of these ways, or a mix of them:
| Option | Works well when | Keep in mind |
|---|---|---|
| Pay directly (savings or check) | You have the funds set aside | No financing cost; keep an emergency cushion afterward |
| Financing for larger projects | The roof can't wait, or you'd rather spread the cost | Read the full terms: total cost, payment amount, any promotional period |
| Insurance claim plus deductible | A covered storm damaged the roof | Your insurer decides coverage; you still pay the deductible |
| Insurance claim plus extra work | The claim covers storm damage and you want more done | Work beyond the claim is a separate line on your written estimate |
| Repair now, replace later | The roof is sound overall and the problem is limited | Roof leak repair starts from $650, standard repair from $950 |

What decides the price of a new roof?
The price of a roof replacement comes from the size and complexity of your specific roof, which is why we give an exact written price after the inspection instead of a ballpark. The main factors:
- Size, in squares. Roofers measure in squares (100 square feet of roof). More squares means more material and labor.
- Pitch. Steep roofs need staging and safety gear and take longer to work on.
- Layers to tear off. Two or three old layers mean more labor and more disposal weight.
- Deck repairs. Rotted plywood or boards found once the old roof is off are replaced so nails hold.
- Material. 3-tab, architectural and designer shingles and flat-roof membranes are priced differently.
- Chimneys, skylights and walls. Each needs new flashing; more joints means more work.
- Ventilation. Adding ridge vent or soffit intake, or fixing a poorly vented attic.
- Access and disposal. Driveway space for the dumpster, tight lots, landscaping to protect.

Before you finance anything, you should know exactly what you're paying for. Our written estimate lists:
The exact price
One clear number for the scope described, before any work.
Full scope
Tear-off to the deck, underlayment, ice & water barrier, drip edge, flashing, pipe boots, ventilation, shingles.
Deck repair handling
How rotted wood found under the old roof is handled and priced.
Photos
What we saw on the roof and in the attic, so you can see why each item is there.
Deposit and schedule
Any deposit, when payments are due and the expected start, spelled out in writing.
Warranty and cleanup
Manufacturer warranty registration where it applies, our workmanship guarantee, daily cleanup and the final walkthrough.

How does an insurance claim fit with paying for a roof?
If a covered storm damaged your roof, an insurance claim may pay part of the replacement. Your deductible is your share under the policy, and we never cover or waive deductibles. Some policies pay in two parts, holding back depreciation until the work is finished. Financing is available for larger projects; options and terms depend on the project and approval — ask us and we'll explain what's available when we give your written estimate.
We document storm damage with photos and measurements, help with paperwork and can meet your adjuster, but your insurer decides what's covered. Details: does homeowners insurance cover a roof replacement.
What does it cost to put off a roof replacement?
Waiting on a roof that's already failing usually adds to the bill, because water damage spreads below the shingles where you can't see it. What we commonly find on roofs that waited too long:
- Rotted decking that has to be replaced, adding to the job.
- Wet insulation and stained ceilings, which are interior repairs on top of the roof.
- Mold-prone attics where moisture has been trapped for seasons.
- Repeated emergency calls. Emergency roof leak service starts from $1,500 each time.
Financing exists for exactly this situation: the roof needs to be done now and the budget isn't there yet. If you're unsure whether your roof is at that point, see signs you need a roof replacement.
Questions to ask about any roof financing offer
Read any financing offer for what it costs you in total, not just the monthly payment. Before you sign anything, ask:
- What's the total amount I'll repay over the life of the loan?
- Is there a promotional period, and what happens when it ends?
- Can I pay it off early without a penalty?
- Is the payment fixed, or can it change?
- Does applying affect my credit, and is there a pre-qualification step?
- Are there any fees on top of the interest?
Be cautious with any roofer who pushes financing before giving you a written price, or who quotes only a monthly payment. You should always see the full price of the roof first.

Roof Financing Questions
Do you offer financing for roof replacement?
Financing is available for larger projects; options and terms depend on the project and approval — ask us and we'll explain what's available when we give your written estimate.
What are the interest rates and terms?
They depend on the project and approval, so we don't publish them. You'll see the full terms in writing before you agree to anything.
Should I get the price before talking about financing?
Yes. You should always see the full written price of the roof first. Then ask us about financing and we'll explain what's available for your project.
Do you need a deposit?
Any deposit and the payment schedule are spelled out in your written estimate, so there are no surprises.
Do you cover or waive insurance deductibles?
No. Your deductible is your share under your policy, and we never cover or waive it. We document the damage, help with paperwork and can meet your adjuster; your insurer decides coverage.
Can you give me a price over the phone?
Not an exact one. Size, pitch, layers, deck condition and flashing all change the price. The free inspection gives you an exact written price.
What does the written estimate include?
Tear-off, deck repairs, underlayment, ice & water barrier, flashing, ventilation, shingles, disposal, cleanup, deposit and schedule, with photos.
How long does a roof replacement take?
Most residential roof replacements take 1–3 days, depending on size and complexity.
Do I need to be home during the work?
No. We need driveway access and an outlet. We meet you at the start and for the final walkthrough.
What if it rains while the roof is open?
We open only what we can close that day and keep tarps on site, so the house is dried in before we stop.
Is it smarter to repair now and replace later?
Sometimes. If the roof is sound overall and the problem is limited, a repair from $650 or $950 can buy time. We'll tell you honestly which makes sense.
