Can You Finance A Home Window
Replacement Project?
Window Financing For Denver, Boulder,
& The Colorado Front Range
Homeowners sometimes don’t realize the number of different ways there are to pay for a window replacement project.
Financing is a terrific way to invest in your home in a very budget-friendly way.
Here’s a guide to different ways to pay for placement windows.
#1 Use Your Lender
One option you have is to apply for financing directly with the lender of your choice, without going through a window company.
For example, you could apply for a home equity line of credit. Your bank lender may be willing to provide a revolving credit line to pay for improving your home.
The nice thing about a home-equity credit line is that once you pay off the loan, the available credit you were originally given is once again fully available to you. Then if you want to use this revolving credit for something else, approval is already in place.
While these loans can be a good choice, just be aware that to qualify, the amount of money you owe on your home must be less than the value.
Just like with any kind of loan, employment history, monthly income, credit scores, and other debts will all be a part of the lender’s calculation.
#2 Cash
Some homeowners choose to pay for replacement windows with cash, which is a great option if your savings allow for it.
#3 Applying For Financing Through Your Window Company
The final option is to apply for financing through the window company you choose. In many ways, this is the simplest and best choice for many homeowners.

If you want to finance through the window company, here are a few things to think about:
Does the window company you’re considering make it fast and easy to apply? The company will of course have to gather certain key information from you, but the application should not be complicated or go on for pages and pages.
The next thing to find out is how long the window company has been in business. If a company has been in business for decades, that means it will likely have several lending partner relationships both locally and nationally. And that means they’ll be more likely to find the right plan for your specific situation.
Also, see how willing a window replacement company is to provide you with financing options. If they seem to discourage it or make you feel like you’re asking for a special favor, consider going elsewhere. Reputable companies will want to work with you to help you get your window replacement done.
