GAF Sponsored – Now comes the hard task of rebuilding hundreds, if not thousands, of houses damaged or destroyed in Hurricanes Harvey and Irma.
It also brought home the realization that homeowners are responsible for large amounts of their own repairs.
The main reason? The main reason?
Floodwaters caused a lot of damage to the Florida Keys, where winds of 130 mph decimated many houses and left 65 percent with major damage. You’ll also notice that homeowners insurance policies usually cover hail and wind damage but not flood damage. . .
“There’s going to be a huge uninsured economic loss here,”Pete Mills, senior vice president at Mortgage Bankers Association has stated.
Similar to past emergency situations, Americans joined the ranks of many companies, including Apple, Verizon, Chevron, in donating truckloads worth of money, clothes, as well as other products, to aid in relief efforts.
A recent corporate initiative seems particularly appropriate, considering all the homes that need to rebuilt.
GAF, North America’s largest roofing manufacturer, has created a unique financing program for homeowners who need roof repairs in FEMA-designated regions. This program is available to individuals in Texas, Florida, or Georgia. They can enjoy zero percent interest for 36 months with equal payments, from November 30 to December 30, 2017.
“The hurricanes have had a devastating impact on so many people,”Jim Schnepper is president of GAF. “We recognize that restoring communities begins with getting homeowners back into their homes as quickly as possible, with a roof they can trust to protect the things that matter most in their lives.”
The only way to get financing is through GAF factory certified contractors. These contractors can be found on the company’s website. gaf.com/rebuild.
