Hurricane Season is Here—And It’s the Perfect Time to Talk About Financing
With hurricane season officially underway and temperatures predicted to reach record highs this summer, there's no better time to get serious about protecting homes—and making critical repairs more accessible to customers. A 2019 study by the National Institute of Building Sciences found that for every $1 spent on building to modern disaster-resistant codes, homeowners can save $11 in future damages.
And yet, too many projects never get off the ground because homeowners can’t afford the upfront cost. In fact, in a recent Trade Hounds poll of over 400 tradespeople, 65% say customers “often” or “always” walk away from jobs due to price. It’s a common challenge for contractors, and one we’re here to make easier.
Through our new partnership with Momnt, Trade Hounds users can now offer real-time, mobile-first financing to their customers. We offer fast, flexible loan options up to $75,000 that you can send straight to your customer’s phone—no money down and no early payment penalties.
When a customer’s AC fails during a heat wave, or a roof needs repair after a major storm, there’s no time to waste. With Momnt Financing, contractors can empower customers to say “yes” to urgent projects without the financial panic.
This matters more than ever as NOAA forecasts an above-normal 2025 hurricane season, with multiple major storms expected. Climate trends show rising risks of heatwaves, floods, and wildfires, putting older, underbuilt homes at greater risk.
We know modern building codes work—Florida homes built after 2002 withstood Hurricane Michael far better than older structures. But adopting those standards comes with a cost, and financing helps bridge that gap.
The truth is, most customers want to invest in safer, better-built homes. With soft credit pulls, fast ACH payments, and 40+ loan products, Trade Hounds Financing makes it easy for you to offer solutions that fit your timeline and budget.
If you're a contractor, now’s the time to educate customers on the real, long-term value of investing in stronger structures. Offering financing through Trade Hounds powered by Momnt gives your customers a way forward and gives your business a competitive edge.
