Renovation HELOC Loans for Home Improvements
Finance Your Renovation Without Refinancing Your First Mortgage
Transform your home with a flexible Renovation HELOC designed for homeowners who want to upgrade, remodel, repair, or expand their property while leveraging their home equity.
Unlike traditional renovation loans, this program allows you to access funds through a Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC), giving you flexibility to pay contractors and complete renovations without complicated draw schedules or construction loan restrictions.
Whether you are remodeling a kitchen, adding living space, modernizing bathrooms, upgrading flooring, replacing roofing, or improving property value, this Renovation HELOC program provides a smart financing solution for qualified homeowners.
What Is a Renovation HELOC?
A Renovation HELOC is a home equity line of credit specifically structured to finance renovations and home improvements. The program uses the projected After Renovated Value (ARV) of the property to determine eligible financing amounts.
This means homeowners may qualify based on the future value of the home after improvements are completed, helping maximize borrowing power for renovation projects.
Key Benefits of the Renovation HELOC Program

Access funds as needed throughout the renovation process instead of receiving one lump sum.
Interest-Only Payments During Draw Period
Borrowers make interest-only payments during the draw period, helping maintain lower monthly payments while renovations are underway.
No Prepayment Penalty
Pay off the line early without penalties.
Up to 95% CLTV Based on ARV
Qualified borrowers may obtain financing up to 95% Combined Loan-to-Value using the after-renovation property value.
