"Do you offer financing?"
We hear this question a lot. And for the longest time, our honest answer was "we wish."
Here's the thing about mid-sized projects β your pole sheds, your garages, your metal roofs, your re-roofs. They sit in this weird financial middle ground. They're bigger than a credit card. They're smaller than anything a bank writes a construction loan for. So people end up in one of three camps: pay cash, put the project off another year, or go with whichever big national contractor can hand them a monthly payment on the spot.
We've watched good people put off projects they genuinely needed because of that gap. And in the past few weeks alone, we had multiple customers ask us about financing β one of whom mentioned another contractor was offering it.
That was the push we needed.
Now β we could have signed up with some national financing company. The kind with a 1-800 number, a chatbot, and a customer service department in a different time zone. That's what most contractors do.
That's not what we did.
We reached out to Chris Heike at Alliance Bank. Right here in Mondovi. Five minutes from our shop.
Chris has been in our corner since early on β every question answered, every time, usually the same day. When we brought this idea to him, his response came back within hours. Yes, he does loans for exactly these kinds of projects. Yes, he's open to working with our customers. Yes, let's make it happen.
That's what banking with a local looks like. That's what we want for our customers.
So here it is, official: if you've been putting off a building, a roof, a garage, or a repair because the upfront cost was the thing standing in your way β that barrier just got a lot smaller. Call Chris, tell him Mondovi Metal sent you, and he'll walk you through your options. No chatbots. No hold music. Just a guy at a desk in Mondovi who picks up his phone.

We'll handle the build. Chris will handle the rest. ποΈ
Now β genuine question for the comments: what's the project you've been putting off? We're curious what western Wisconsin has been dreaming about. π
