to get you there.
More living space. A fresh finish. A better backyard. DHI offers renovation financing through Financeit, so you can explore a payment plan alongside your project estimate.
Try the budget & payment plannerFROM FIRST IDEA TO A CLEAR PLAN
Three steps. Room to decide.
- 01
Start with your renovation.
Tell DHI what you want to change. We’ll work through the scope and prepare a written estimate for your basement, painting, deck, or fence project.
- 02
Explore Financeit.
Ask DHI about financing for your project. Financeit offers an online application and lets you review the options you qualify for.
- 03
Review, then move forward.
Check the full borrowing cost and payment schedule. Once your financing and project details are confirmed, we can plan the work together.
A LITTLE PLANNING GOES A LONG WAY
Put some numbers
to your next project.
Explore a renovation budget and an illustrative monthly payment. Adjust the numbers to see how an upfront contribution or repayment period changes the cost.

Planning tool only, not a construction quote, credit application, or Financeit offer. Assumes equal monthly payments and a constant interest rate for the full repayment period, with no deferrals or fees. A contingency is a budgeting reserve, not an approved loan amount. Actual rates, fees, payment schedules, and loan terms are set out in your Financeit agreement. A longer repayment period can lower monthly payments while increasing total interest.
BUILD A MORE COMPLETE BUDGET
The details behind
the dollar amount.
Square footage is only part of the story. A written estimate helps connect the budget to the work your home actually needs.
Explore our renovation servicesScope & finishes
Include demolition, preparation, materials, labour, and cleanup. Layout changes and finish choices can affect the total.
Work behind the walls
Discuss plumbing, electrical, heating, ventilation, permits, and inspections where needed. Existing conditions matter.
The complete cost
Confirm taxes, exclusions, and a buffer for unexpected work. Keep loan fees and interest separate from the construction estimate.
KNOW BEFORE YOU APPLY
Good questions.

Talk to DHI about your renovation. Review your financing terms directly with Financeit.
Financeit’s consumer guideIs approval guaranteed in two minutes?
No. Decisions can be available in as little as two minutes, but timing depends on your application. Financeit may require further information and verification before financing is finalized. All financing is on approved credit. Read more at Financeit: Is approval guaranteed in two minutes?.
What should I have ready?
Have your legal name, birth date, address, gross income, and employment details ready. Enter personal financial information directly through Financeit’s application, not DHI’s project inquiry form. Read more at Financeit: What should I have ready?.
Can I make extra payments or pay it off early?
Financeit offers open loans: you can make additional payments or repay the balance early without a prepayment penalty. Read more at Financeit: Can I make extra payments or pay it off early?.
What rate and fees will I pay?
Review your individual quote for the interest rate, APR, and any administration fee. APR describes the annual cost of borrowing. Ask about the total repayment amount, not just the monthly payment. The planner’s example rate is not a Financeit offer. Read more at Financeit: What rate and fees will I pay?.
Is the loan term the same as the repayment period?
Not necessarily. The term is how long your rate and payment are set; amortization is the time it takes to repay the loan. Check both in your offer, including what happens when the term ends. Read more at Financeit: Is the loan term the same as the repayment period?.
What if my renovation costs more than $100,000?
Ask DHI to review your scope and upfront contribution. The planner shows any amount above the advertised financing maximum; your approved amount may be lower. A project estimate and credit approval are separate steps.
