Home improvement loans are specific loans for renovations, usually with fixed rates, helping you finance projects like kitchen upgrades or roof replacements. HELOCs, or home equity lines of credit, let you borrow against your home’s equity with a revolving credit line, often variable rates. Both can fund renovations, but loans are one-time cash, while HELOCs are ongoing access to funds.
