What to do if you can't afford a new roof?
If you need a new roof but can’t afford it, here are steps that homeowners often take in this situation:

- Apply for financing for your new roof. Many reputable roofing companies offer a financing option.
- Apply for a grant through your county, city, or a non-profit organization for your roof replacement.
- Refinancing your home is not an ideal solution, but it is an option to consider. The new roof will increase the value of your home.
