In the U.S., millions of people lack the tools to make smart financial decisions during remodels and renovations.

“I used Hearth to finance a 70k+ project without paying a cent in dealer fees. I got set up in 5 minutes and did the deal shortly afterwards. Their process is as easy as it gets!” – Contractor

“The care and attention that we received was beyond anything I expected. They took such good care of us like no other bank, credit union or any other company has done in the past for us.” – Homeowner 

“We got set up on Hearth in minutes, and 3 ays later, we funded a $2,500 (project). The process was simple for us and our customers, and our account manager quickly answered our questions. Because of this great service, we referred Hearth to our premier dealer network.” – Contractor

We Give Hearth a 4/5 Rating, and Here’s Why

First of all, we love to use Hearth as a simple option for those homeowners who don’t have the cash on hand for their home project but want to get started right away. We love that part of it.

Another major benefit that makes Hearth stand out from other third-party financing programs is its one-time fee for membership. A lot of other third-party financing programs will have contractors pay a fee every time they are offering a 48 months, interest free offer to homeowners, for example. With Hearth, all we have to do at Northface is pay our annual membership fee and get the benefits of those 0% interest offers to our customers.

This helps alleviate the stress of us having to rely on receiving a check from a customer, who has come to us with an outside financing partner or source. With Hearth, we are able to control that financing and the money in-house without having to wait for that customer. 

Overall, we know we like, and our customers like, how easy it is to use Hearth. All the programs and information are available online. It also acts as an informational resource where customers can get all their financing questions answered. 

Contractors and customers agree that Hearth is a reliable option when it comes to funding a home improvement project. At Northface, we look forward to continuing our partnership with this innovative financing platform for many years to come.
