How do I pre-qualify without affecting my credit?
Both Hearth and GreenSky use a soft credit pull for pre-qualification, which does not impact your credit score. You can compare rates and terms before deciding whether to formally apply. Pre-qualification typically takes under 60 seconds online.
Which lenders does Klema Builders work with?
We work with two home services lenders so you can compare outdoor living loan options before you commit to a single board. Soft credit pull only, fixed monthly payments, and no obligation to use them. Pre-qualify with either one, or neither. Financing is an option, not a requirement. Hearth: Built for home services. Soft-pull pre-qualification in 60 seconds, multiple lenders compared in one form, fixed monthly payments with terms 2 to 12 years. GreenSky: Bank-backed home improvement financing with instant credit decisions and direct-to-contractor disbursement when funds release.
What kinds of projects can I finance?
Custom decks, pergolas, covered patios, screened porches, patios and pavers, fencing, metalwork, and full backyard transformations are all eligible. The lender confirms the amount and terms for your project during pre-qualification, based on the fixed-price quote.
How does the payment schedule work with Klema Builders?
Klema Builders bills 50% upon material delivery and 50% upon final walk-through and project completion. There are no progress draws, no mid-build invoices, and no scope-creep charges. The price you sign at contract is the total you pay. Half on material delivery, half on completion: the price you sign at contract is the total you pay, in two transactions. 50 percent on material delivery: the first installment is due when we deliver materials to your home. This covers the lumber, composite, hardware, and finishes your project requires. 50 percent on final walk-through: the remaining balance is due after we walk the finished project with you, you sign off on the punch list, and every manufacturer warranty is registered in your name. No progress draws between: no drip-fed deposits. No mid-build invoices. No scope-creep change orders. The price you sign at contract is the total you pay.
Does Klema Builders earn fees on financing?
Klema Builders does not earn referral fees or commissions on the financing partner you choose. We do not mark up the build if you finance it. The quote is the quote.

Can I use a HELOC or my own financing instead?
Absolutely. Many homeowners use a HELOC, home equity loan, or simple cash. Our partners are an option, not a requirement. Klema Builders does not charge a financing fee either way.
How fast is funding once I'm approved?
Most approved loans fund within 24 to 72 hours of final acceptance. That covers our 50% material deposit so we can order materials and lock your build schedule.
