Financing options to explore

Below are examples of common financing options and well-known providers/programs that many homeowners use for home improvement projects. Texas Installer Inc is not a lender, does not offer credit, and does not endorse any specific provider. Availability, rates, and terms vary by location, credit profile, property type, and program rulesโ€”please verify details directly with the lender/program administrator.

1) Home equity loans & HELOCs

Often used for larger projects (roofing, windows/doors, HVAC, remodels) when you have equity in your home. A HELOC is a revolving line of credit; a home equity loan is typically a lump-sum installment loan.

  • Large banks (examples): Bank of America, U.S. Bank, Truist
  • Credit unions (examples): Navy Federal Credit Union (members), local Texas credit unions
  • Online lenders/marketplaces (examples): Figure, LendingTree (marketplace)

2) Cash-out refinance

Refinances your mortgage and lets you take cash out for improvements. This can make sense when rates and closing costs work in your favor and you plan to stay in the home long enough to benefit.

  • Mortgage lenders (examples): Rocket Mortgage, loanDepot, Guaranteed Rate
  • Banks/credit unions: Many offer refinance optionsโ€”compare APR, fees, and timelines

3) FHA 203(k) rehab loan

An FHA-backed mortgage that can finance the purchase or refinance of a home plus eligible repairs/renovations. There are different versions (Limited vs. Standard) with different rules and documentation requirements.

Learn more: HUD / FHA 203(k) program information (verify current requirements and approved lenders).

4) USDA Rural Development (RD) repair loans & grants

For eligible rural areas and qualifying households, USDA RD may offer home repair loans and, in some cases, grants (program rules and availability vary). This can be a fit for certain safety, accessibility, and essential repair needs.

Learn more: USDA Rural Development โ€“ Section 504 Home Repair (check eligibility by address and income).

5) VA-related options (where applicable)

Eligible Veterans and service members may have options for financing improvements through VA-backed loans or refinance programs, depending on the situation and lender guidelines.

  • VA Cash-Out Refinance: may be used to access equity for improvements (verify occupancy and eligibility rules)
  • VA lenders (examples): Veterans United, Navy Federal (members), USAA (eligibility required)

6) Contractor/project financing (third-party)

Some projects may qualify for third-party installment plans offered by financing partners. Terms vary widelyโ€”review APR, fees, and payoff options before signing.

Important: Texas Installer Inc can share application links or paperwork when available, but we are not the lender and cannot approve credit.


Quick checklist before you apply

  • Get a clear scope and estimate amount first (materials, labor, timeline).
  • Ask about APR, fees, payoff rules, and whether thereโ€™s a prepayment penalty.
  • Confirm whether the application uses a soft or hard credit inquiry.
  • Verify contractor requirements (some programs require licensed/approved contractors or specific documentation).
