Are you looking for a reliable service that allows you to offer your home improvement customers financing options?
Learn why you should go with Hearth instead of Jobber.
Why choose Hearth versus competitors like Jobber?
Get all the tools you need to close the sale plus financing options that will help you close bigger jobs.
Best of all, with Hearth, there are no minimum requirements to offer financing.
Hearth contractors can offer financing for a customer’s project up to $250,000.
Also, when contractors sign on to Hearth, they have access to a network of 17 lenders as opposed to other financing companies, which may only offer a single or few options.
This means that contractors can offer financing that meets the needs of their customers and close more deals than ever before.
Reason 1: Only pay for the membership, not every transaction
While our competitor has dealer fees for select FICO scores, when contractors use Hearth they never have to pay per-transaction fees, regardless of their customer’s credit score and history.
Reason 2: American-based company that understands your market
Based in Austin, Texas, at Hearth we speak the language of the American contractor and that’s “More jobs.”
Here’s what Chris Traweek of CTT Exteriors in San Antonio, Texas had to say about using Hearth:
“Hearth made an easy button for a contractor like myself, especially a small business to start right out the gate offering financing.”
Chris says “we’re able to give one price right up front and we don’t have to worry about, you know, any kind of financing fees.”
With a network of over 20,000 professionals, Hearth knows what it takes to help you run a successful blue collar business.

Reason 4: User-friendly app for all skill levels
From our easy-to-use mobile app, contractors are able to access our financing from anywhere.
So if you are in the middle of closing a deal, you can quickly pre-qualify your customer all with a push of a button.
Reason 5: Easily track your customer’s process and create reports
