FAQ

People often ask us

A home renovation loan is a way for homeowners to finance repairs, renovations, additions and upgrades to their house. Renovation loans come in different forms and sizes depending on the individual borrower's needs. For example, renovation loans can have a fixed or variable interest rate, and their terms can vary as well. Commonly, these loans come in 15-year and 30-year terms, effectively taking the place of your mortgage so you only have to pay one debt.

No. With a home renovation loan, the funds are used to pay off the existing mortgage, leaving extra funds to be used for renovation. Unlike personal loans, home renovation loans aren't disbursed directly to the borrower. Instead, they are paid to the contractor as renovation work is completed. This is convenient for the borrower because they only have one monthly payment to make for their home, and they don't have to handle payments to the contractor on their own.

You can use a home renovation loan for all sorts of repairs, renovations and remodeling projects around the house. Here are just a few examples of the possibilities:

  • Adding a garage
  • Building an outdoor entertainment space
  • Finishing a basement or attic
  • Installing a pool
  • Installing solar panels
  • Modernizing an older house
  • Putting an addition onto your home
  • Remodeling a bathroom
  • Upgrading a kitchen
