Home improvement ventures cost quite a bit of money. Thankfully, there are financing options to lighten the burden. There are several ways to finance your home improvement plans. You can take out a home equity loan, do a cash-out refinance, or get a personal loan. Custom Installations, Inc., your siding contractor, takes you through the available options.

Refinance Your Mortgage

If your mortgage interest is higher than the current rates, refinancing is a good option. It could lower your rate and your monthly payments, freeing up cash for your dream renovation. A cash-out refinance on your home’s equity is another option. Lenders will generally let you borrow up to 80% of your home’s value. This can be enough to pay off your current mortgage with some more cash to spare.

Be aware of this though: you’ll be using your home as collateral for a bigger loan. As such, you’ll be financing short-term costs with long-term debt. All these add interest and other fees to the cost of renovations or maintenance. It’s a good option only if your home improvement will increase your home’s value.

Home Equity Loan

A home equity loan is another way to finance a home improvement, such as the installation of a new metal roofing system, for instance. Instead of getting a line of credit, as in a HELOC, you’d receive a lump sum of money. This makes sense if you don’t want to refinance your first mortgage which has a very low-interest rate. The interest rate in a home equity loan is usually higher than with a cash-out refinance.

HELOC

A home equity line of credit (HELOC) is another option for home improvement financing. Unlike a refinance, though, it doesn’t pay off the original mortgage. Instead, you get a line of credit which is usually up to 80% of your home’s value, minus the amount of your home loan.
