Financing Options for Ontario Homeowners
There are several ways to finance your renovation project in Ontario.
01Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC)
One of the most popular ways to finance a renovation. A HELOC lets you borrow against the equity in your home at competitive interest rates. Most major Canadian banks offer HELOCs specifically for home improvements, and interest may be tax-deductible if the funds are used to improve the property.
02Personal Loan or Line of Credit
For smaller projects or homeowners who prefer not to use home equity, a personal loan or line of credit from your bank can be a good option. These are typically unsecured, so no collateral is needed, though interest rates may be higher than a HELOC.
03Renovation-Specific Financing
Some financial institutions in Ontario offer renovation-specific loan products. These are designed for home improvement projects and may come with favorable terms. Ask your bank or credit union about renovation loan programs available in your area.
04Credit Card Payments
We accept credit card payments for clients who prefer to use rewards cards or manage cash flow through their existing credit facilities. This can be particularly useful for smaller projects or for the deposit portion of larger renovations.
Ontario Renovation Tax Credits & Programs
Depending on your situation, you may qualify for provincial or federal tax credits that reduce the cost of your renovation.
Multigenerational Home Renovation Tax Credit (Federal)
A refundable federal tax credit for renovations that create a secondary suite for a senior family member (65+) or an adult with a disability. The credit covers up to $50,000 in eligible renovation expenses at a 15% credit rate, providing up to $7,500 back.
Ontario Seniors' Home Safety Tax Credit
Designed for Ontario seniors (65+) to help cover the cost of home modifications that improve safety and accessibility. Eligible expenses include grab bars, walk-in tubs, wheelchair ramps, and other safety-focused upgrades. The credit is worth 25% of up to $10,000 in eligible expenses.
Home Accessibility Tax Credit (Federal)
A non-refundable federal tax credit for individuals who are 65+ or eligible for the disability tax credit. It covers qualifying renovation expenses up to $20,000 for modifications that improve accessibility or reduce the risk of harm in the home.
Canada Greener Homes Grant Programs
While the original Canada Greener Homes Grant program has concluded, energy-efficient home upgrades may still qualify for various utility rebate programs in Ontario. These can offset costs for insulation, windows, HVAC systems, and other energy-saving improvements included in your renovation.
Important: Tax credit programs and eligibility requirements change frequently. We recommend consulting with a qualified tax professional or visiting the Canada Revenue Agency website for the most current information. Leo Constra can provide detailed receipts and documentation to support any applicable claims.
