Gutter customer financing lets homeowners apply for credit for eligible installation or replacement work through a participating lender. Ottri gives your business one branded application and a workspace for financing follow-up. Your team can introduce the option when presenting a defined gutter project that fits the available programs. One branded application reaches 20 participating lenders, so a decline from one lender is not the end of the gutter sale. ### What happens if the first lender says no? Nothing extra for you or your customer. The homeowner fills out one branded application, and Ottri moves it to the next participating lender automatically, across 20 lenders on the Ottri network. Your customer sees one application under your brand the whole way, and you see every step in your dashboard. Each lender makes its own decision. ### Can gutter guards and downspouts be part of the financing request? They may be considered when included in an eligible project accepted by the participating program. Identify the gutter system, guards, downspouts, removal, and installation work in the actual estimate. Availability follows the specific scope and amount, and related exterior items are simply itemized in the same estimate. Because one application is considered by multiple lender programs in sequence, a project that does not fit one program can still fit another. ### What does Ottri cost, and how do we get started? Free to start. No setup fee, no subscription, no demo. Create your account, complete onboarding, and send your first application as soon as your programs are active. Lender and promotional costs, where they apply, depend on the program you choose. ### Is financing available for a small gutter repair? Check the repair estimate against the minimum amount and accepted work of the programs available to your business. Small repairs can fall below those limits, even when a full gutter replacement qualifies. Present financing where the actual scope and price fit the program and the customer's needs. Where a repair does fit, one application still reaches 20 participating lenders. ### Will the financing stay under our brand, and are applications sold as leads? Yes, it is your brand from start to finish. Your logo, colors, and contact are on every screen the homeowner sees. We never sell applications as leads. The customer stays yours; the participating lender simply provides the credit, and its required disclosures appear where the law requires. ### What should a gutter company check before choosing a financing program? Check the program's minimum amount against your actual gutter estimates, confirm accepted installation work, and review business costs and funding conditions. Then compare how the team shares applications and handles follow-up. Ottri provides a branded application and shared visibility, but the programs available to your business must fit the jobs you sell. With Ottri there is no setup or subscription fee, so the program fit is the only thing you need to confirm. ### How is financing handled when gutters are part of a larger exterior job? Describe the combined work clearly and confirm that the selected program accepts the scope and contracting arrangement. Separately contracted gutter work gets its own line in the estimate, so it is funded cleanly alongside the roofing or siding. Keep the estimate, application amount, and lender requirements aligned before relying on the financing. One application can carry the combined exterior scope when the program accepts it, which is how a gutter estimate becomes a roof-and-gutter job. ### Who approves the financing and sends the funds? The participating lender approves the financing and sets the terms. On eligible programs the lender pays your business directly, so you are never chasing the homeowner for payment. Ottri Global LLC is a licensed loan broker, NMLS 2776988, and is not a lender. ### Does applying for financing affect the homeowner’s credit? Applying is built to be easy on the homeowner. Whether a program uses a soft or hard inquiry depends on the lender, the product, and the step, and the homeowner sees that information on screen before continuing, so there are no surprises. --- About Ottri: Ottri is a licensed loan broker, NMLS 2776988.
