Renovation financing options
Depending on your circumstances, there may be several ways to finance your renovation.
Mortgage refinancing
If you've built equity in your home, refinancing may allow you to access funds for larger renovation projects.

A HELOC may provide flexible access to funds, allowing you to borrow as renovation expenses arise.
