Frequently asked questions
What interest rate should I expect for a home improvement loan?
It depends on the product: a home equity loan or HELOC is secured by your home and is usually cheaper than an unsecured personal loan or a contractor-financed plan. There is no single national benchmark, so compare lender disclosures.
Is a home improvement loan tax-deductible?
Interest may be deductible when the loan is secured by your home and the improvement adds to the home value, but rules are specific. Confirm with a qualified tax professional; this page is educational, not tax advice.
Should I use a HELOC, home equity loan, or personal loan?
A HELOC gives flexible draws; a home equity loan gives a fixed lump sum and payment; a personal loan is unsecured but usually costs more. The home equity calculator and the HELOC-vs-home-equity guide compare them.
