A custom outdoor living project is one of the higher-return investments a homeowner makes in a property, and among the higher upfront costs.
Scaling back a design to hit an upfront number means compromising what the space could be. Financing allows the approved 3D design to be built as drawn, without cutting features to fit the available cash.
A $50,000-$70,000 outdoor living project is a significant expense. Spreading that cost over time keeps liquidity intact for other priorities without delaying the build.
Material costs and construction schedules shift with the season. Financing locks in scope and pricing at design approval, not months later when the window may have moved.
Echelon offers financing through Acorns, integrated directly with JobTread. To explore which options fall within your scope, bring it up during a design consultation, and Gil will walk through the available plans.
Every Echelon project follows a milestone-based structure, whether financed or paid directly. A clear schedule is written into the contract before signing.
