Roofing, Siding & Windows Financing

Roofing, siding, and window manufacturers buy steel, vinyl, glass, and components in volume, build to seasonal demand, and ship to distributors, big-box, and contractors on extended terms. Factoring and PO financing keep the lines running through payment gaps.

You're making shingles, metal roofing, siding, windows, or doors against a seasonal construction calendar. Steel, vinyl, glass, and components are bought in volume, and your distributor, big-box, and contractor customers pay 45–90 days after shipment.

Spring and summer demand peaks front huge material and labor cost while the receivables lag into fall, and one big-box or pro-dealer account can dominate your book.

We match roofing, siding, and window manufacturers to factoring against distributor and contractor receivables, PO financing on component buys, and equipment loans for the next extruder, press, or glass line.

What underwriters will actually ask for

Roofing, Siding & Windows files have a specific documentation pattern. Bringing these up front usually cuts weeks off the timeline.

  • Active business and contractor license (where applicable)

    State contractor or building-product licensing required to bill the customers in your AR aging.

  • Aged accounts receivable and top-10 customer list

    Distributor, big-box, and contractor concentration above ~40% may shape the reserve. Seasonal DSO spikes are expected.

  • Trailing 12 months of financials

    Interim P&L, balance sheet, and a breakdown of roofing, siding, window, and door revenue.

  • Steel, vinyl, glass, and component supplier list (for PO financing)

    PO financing pays your material and component suppliers directly against confirmed orders.

  • Equipment invoice or quote (for equipment financing)

    Extruders, presses, glass lines, vinyl lines, and material handling finance cleanly — new and used.
