How does Roof at Closing work?
Once you have a buyer under contract, we pull and pay for the permits and schedule the crew. We install when the roof is the last contingency left, the buyer's loan is approved, and title is issued, so the roof is done about 10 days before closing. The closing agent then pays us from your sale proceeds. If you do not have a buyer yet, our Roof Now, a Year to Sell program installs right away on our financing with 12 months of no payments.
Is anything due upfront?
No. Nothing is due at signing in either program. With a buyer under contract there is no deposit, no loan, no interest, and no payments while you are listed. The price is paid from your proceeds at closing.
What if my buyer backs out?
Before we install: you owe nothing, and while the home stays listed you can keep the agreement and permit open at no cost until the permit expires. After we install: we are paid from the buyer's escrow deposit first, and any balance can go on our financing, subject to approval, and is paid off at your next closing.
What if I take my home off the market?
If you take the home off the market before we install, you pay a flat $1,000, due within 30 days, and nothing else. Permit costs are on us.
What if I do not have a buyer yet?
Choose Roof Now, a Year to Sell. You apply for our roof financing (8% to 13% APR over 5 to 20 years, subject to approval), we install right away, and you get 12 months with no payments and no fees from completion. Sell within that year and the balance is paid from your proceeds at closing with no prepayment penalty.
Is a lien or mortgage recorded on my home?
No mortgage is recorded. A standard Notice of Commencement is recorded before work begins, as for any permitted roof. The contractor keeps its Florida construction lien rights until paid in full.
Can I cancel after signing?
Yes. Every contract includes Florida's 3-day right to cancel after signing, or 10 days during a declared state of emergency.
What types of roofs do you install?
Our standard roof is the GAF Timberline HDZ architectural shingle. Flat roofs, tile, and metal are also available through Planet Roofing.
What warranty do I get?
Planet Roofing gives the workmanship warranty, which transfers once to the next owner. The manufacturer's warranty also passes to you, including the GAF lifetime limited warranty on the standard shingle roof.
Who installs the roof?
Planet Roofing, a licensed and insured Florida roofing contractor (license CCC1329271) based in Fort Lauderdale.
How long does a roof installation take?
Shingle roofs typically take 1 to 3 days. Tile roofs take approximately 10 days. With a buyer under contract, we schedule the work to finish about 10 days before closing.
