Financing Calculator — Impact Windows, Doors & Roofing

Use the calculator above to privately estimate monthly payment ranges based on project size and financing structure. Actual offers, terms, and rates vary by lender and program — the calculator is an educational tool, not a loan application or commitment. When you’re ready for exact numbers, a no-obligation estimate gives you a real written scope and price.

What Can You Finance?

Bigfoot helps South Florida homeowners explore financing for a full range of exterior improvement projects:

Impact windows — single opening replacements to whole-house projects
Impact doors — entry doors, sliding glass doors, French doors, and garage doors
Roofing projects — full replacements, re-roofing, and permitted repairs
Combined projects — impact windows and roofing in a single estimate and installation sequence

Combining windows and roofing in one project can improve your home’s overall wind resistance, simplify permitting, and reduce the number of separate contractor relationships to manage. A single written scope also makes it easier to compare financing amounts before you commit to anything.

What Affects Your Project Cost?

The financing amount you need is determined entirely by the scope of your specific project. Key factors include:

Product type and impact rating — Miami-Dade HVHZ requires NOA-approved products, which carry higher manufacturing costs than standard impact-rated products used in Broward or Palm Beach counties
Number of openings — each window and door is measured and installed separately; opening count drives both material and labor costs
Roof size and material — square footage, pitch, and material choice (shingle, metal, tile, TPO/flat) affect cost significantly
Structural conditions found during installation — rotted wood, damaged sills, deteriorated roof decking, or corroded frames can add scope that is not visible until work begins
Permits and inspections — required for all window replacements and full roof replacements; permit fees and processing times vary by county and municipality
HOA requirements — some communities require specific glass tints, frame colors, or hardware finishes that affect product selection
Installation complexity — second-floor openings, non-standard sizes, and CBS versus wood-frame construction all affect labor

Use the calculator to test different total project amounts and down payment scenarios before you have a firm quote. Once you have a written estimate from Bigfoot, you can revisit the calculator with your actual number.

Financing Options for Hurricane Protection Projects

South Florida homeowners typically explore several financing paths for impact windows, doors, and roofing. Each has different qualification requirements, structures, and implications for your property. The right choice depends on your credit profile, equity position, timeline, and lender availability — options vary and are subject to approval.

Option	How It Works	Common Considerations
Traditional Home Improvement Loan	Unsecured installment loan through a bank, credit union, or lender; fixed monthly payments over a set term	Based on your credit profile; no home equity required; rates and terms vary by lender
PACE Financing	Property-assessed financing repaid through your property tax bill; tied to the property, not the borrower’s credit	Available in Florida; if you have an active mortgage, your lender’s consent may be required — consult your mortgage lender before proceeding
HELOC / Home Equity Loan	Borrowing against your home’s existing equity; typically carries lower rates than unsecured loans	Requires sufficient equity and approval; closing costs and timelines vary by lender
Dealer-Arranged Financing	Financing coordinated by your contractor at the point of sale	Convenient; ask whether dealer fees are passed to you or absorbed by the contractor — Bigfoot absorbs dealer fees on programs where it offers them

This table is for general educational reference only. Terms, availability, and qualification requirements depend on the lender and program chosen. Nothing on this page constitutes a financing offer, rate quote, or guarantee of approval.

Why South Florida Homeowners Finance Rather Than Wait

Delaying hurricane protection upgrades in Miami-Dade, Broward, or Palm Beach County carries real risk. Hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, and a roof that needs replacement or windows that are not impact-rated do not improve with time.

Common reasons homeowners choose financing over waiting to save the full amount:

Insurance premium savings — verified impact window installation often qualifies for wind mitigation discounts. Ask your insurer for a current quote before and after installation; savings may help offset monthly payments over time.
Wind mitigation documentation — a licensed inspector documents your improvements in a wind mitigation inspection report, which supports insurance discount applications.
Avoiding storm-season pricing — replacing a failing roof or aging windows before a named storm avoids emergency contractor premiums and availability shortages that typically follow a major event.
HVHZ compliance requirements — in Miami-Dade, NOA-compliant windows and doors may be required before you can sell or refinance certain properties.

Financing is one tool — not the right choice for every homeowner. A consultation with Bigfoot helps you understand your specific project cost and compare your options before making any decisions.

Frequently Asked Questions About Financing

Can I finance impact windows and roofing together in one project?

Yes. Many homeowners combine impact windows and roofing in a single estimate and financing amount. A combined project scope may simplify permitting and scheduling. Your written estimate from Bigfoot will itemize each portion so you understand the full cost before making any financing decision.

Do I need a specific credit score to explore financing options?

Requirements vary by lender and program. Some options, such as PACE financing, are tied to the property rather than your personal credit profile. Others, including traditional home improvement loans and HELOCs, depend on creditworthiness and equity. The financing calculator does not require any credit information — it is a private planning tool only.

What is PACE financing and is it available in South Florida?

PACE (Property Assessed Clean Energy) financing lets homeowners fund qualifying improvements and repay the amount through their annual property tax bill. It is available in Florida. If you have an active mortgage, your mortgage lender’s consent may be required before you use PACE, since it creates a lien on your property. Speak with your lender and a financial advisor before choosing this option.

How much does a typical impact window or roofing project cost in South Florida?

Project cost depends on the number of openings, the product specifications required for your county, the condition of your existing frames and roof structure, and installation complexity. Miami-Dade HVHZ requires NOA-approved products, which affects pricing differently than Broward or Palm Beach projects. A free written estimate from Bigfoot gives you accurate numbers for your specific home — the calculator is most useful once you have a real project total to work from.

Does Bigfoot charge dealer fees on contractor-arranged financing?

On programs where Bigfoot offers dealer-arranged financing, Bigfoot absorbs dealer fees rather than passing them to you. All financing terms are disclosed in writing before you accept anything. Ask during your estimate appointment for details on currently available programs.

What is the difference between PACE financing and a standard home improvement loan?

A home improvement loan is typically an unsecured personal loan repaid in fixed monthly installments to a bank or lender — it is based on your credit profile and income. PACE financing is a lien on your property, repaid through your property tax bill, and does not depend on your credit score. PACE does affect your property title and may require your mortgage lender’s approval. Each option has trade-offs depending on your situation.

How long does it take from estimate to completed installation?

After you approve a written scope, Bigfoot pulls permits and orders materials. Timelines depend on permit processing (which varies by municipality in Miami-Dade, Broward, and Palm Beach), product lead times, and scheduling availability. A Bigfoot representative will give you a realistic project timeline during your estimate appointment.
