The roofing calendar is not kind to cash flow

Most roofing companies make the bulk of their money in a handful of busy months. Cold weather, rainy stretches and quiet storm seasons slow tear-offs and new installs, but the truck notes, insurance premiums, shop rent and your best foreman's paycheck keep coming. Lose that foreman in February and you are short-handed when spring calls start.

Slow-season funding lets you carry fixed costs through the dip, and repay as work picks back up.

Ways roofers use off-season money

How funders view a seasonal roofer

We expect roofing deposits to rise and fall with the weather. When we review about three months of bank statements, we look at the overall pattern and your existing obligations, not just your slowest week. Applying before deposits drop too far tends to give a fuller picture. FICO scores from 500 are considered, and we start with a soft pull. No tax returns are needed.

Our roofing cash flow guide has more on planning around the seasons.

An off-season scenario

For illustration: a roofing contractor in a cold-weather region sees new installs slow sharply after the holidays. Rent, truck notes and insurance still come due each month, and two experienced crew leads would leave for steady indoor work if their hours dropped. The owner sets aside funding to cover those fixed costs and keep the crew leads busy with repair calls, then repays on the published schedule as spring work returns.

Picking a structure for the off-season

A line of credit works well if you want a standing reserve to draw on through the slow months. A lump sum of working capital fits a known shortfall. Either way, your offer shows the full repayment amount and schedule before you accept. Apply here in about 5 minutes.

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to apply for slow-season funding?

Usually before your slowest stretch begins, while recent statements still show your busier months. That gives funders a fuller picture of your business.

Will a slow month on my statements hurt my chances?

Funders look at the overall pattern and your existing payments. Seasonal swings are expected in roofing, and one slow month is weighed in that context.

Can I use the money to keep crew on payroll over winter?

Yes. Keeping trained crew employed is one of the most common uses. See our roofing payroll funding page for more.

How much can I get?

Funding runs from $25,000 to $5,000,000, depending mostly on deposit volume and current obligations.

How fast is funding?

Qualified businesses can be funded in as little as 24 hours after accepting an offer.

Winter overhead $45,000.00
Foreman retention $24,000.00
Spring materials $62,000.00
Lead generation $12,500.00

How to improve your chances

Roofers who handle the off-season well tend to do a few things consistently.

  • Apply before your slowest months, not during them
  • Pick up repair and maintenance work in the off-season
  • Track monthly fixed costs so you borrow the right amount
  • Keep personal and business deposits separate
