Frequently Asked Questions
Does Eraland's Custom Pools offer financing directly?
No. Eraland’s Custom Pools does not provide lending services and is not a lender. We partner with third-party financing providers who specialize in pool and home-improvement loans. All applications, approvals, and loan terms are handled directly by the lender.
Will checking my financing options affect my credit score?
Some of our financing partners offer soft-pull pre-qualification, which allows you to explore potential loan options without impacting your credit score. Final approval may require a hard credit inquiry, depending on the lender and loan program.
Can financing be used for more than just the pool?
In many cases, financing may be used for related backyard features such as spas, decking, and outdoor living elements. Eligible uses of funds vary by lender and loan type, so homeowners should confirm details directly with the lender.
Do I need home equity to qualify for pool financing?
Many of our financing partners offer unsecured loan options that do not require home equity, appraisals, or liens. Availability, terms, and eligibility depend on the lender and applicant qualifications.
Can Eraland's Custom Pools help me choose the right lender?
We can help explain the general differences between financing options and how they may align with your project size and goals. However, we do not approve or deny applications, recommend lenders based on credit score, or influence loan terms, rates, or funding decisions.
