Keep Your Savings Intact
Tying up your emergency fund in a remodel isn't smart. Financing lets you keep liquidity while your home gains value.
A note on home equity: Many of our clients use a HELOC instead of a personal loan. If you have significant equity, a HELOC may offer lower rates and tax advantages. We'll walk through the tradeoffs with you during your consultation.
Three Financing Paths to Match Your Situation
Every client is different. We'll help you pick the option that minimizes cost and maximizes flexibility.
Personal Loan
Unsecured financing with no home equity required. Best for smaller projects or homeowners without significant equity.
- Borrow $5,000 – $100,000
- Terms from 24 to 84 months
- No collateral required
- Approval decisions same day
- Funds typically disbursed within 48 hours
HELOC
Home Equity Line of Credit. The lowest rates available, with interest that may be tax-deductible.
- Borrow $25,000 – $250,000+
- Terms up to 144 months
- Rates typically 1–3% below personal loans
- Reusable credit line as you repay
- Interest may be tax-deductible
- Home serves as collateral
Cash-Out Refinance
Replace your existing mortgage with a larger one and take the difference in cash. Best for large remodels.
- Access $50,000 – $500,000+
- Terms up to 30 years
- Lowest possible monthly payment
- Single loan to manage
- Requires full refinance process

Questions About Financing
No. Pre-qualification uses a soft credit inquiry, which is visible only to you. A hard inquiry occurs only if you decide to move forward with a formal application.
Our primary partner approves clients with scores starting at 620. Our specialized remodel lender works with scores as low as 580 in some cases. Lower scores typically mean higher rates.
Pre-qualification is instant. Full approval typically takes 1–2 business days for personal loans and 2–4 weeks for HELOCs or cash-out refinances.
Yes. None of our lending partners charge prepayment penalties. You can pay extra or pay off the entire balance at any time without fees.
Your first payment is typically due 30 days after project completion, giving you time to enjoy the finished space before payments begin. Terms vary by lender.
Absolutely. Many clients pay a portion upfront and finance the remainder. This reduces your total interest cost and can improve approval terms on the financed portion.
