Construction & Renovation Loans

Simplified financing for building new or renovating what you already own — borrowing against the future value of your home.

What We Do

Financing Built Around Your Project

Paramount Loan Services specializes in construction and renovation loans that let you borrow against the future value of your home — not just its current appraised value.

We keep the process simplified with competitive rates and a streamlined path from application to closing. And yes — Spanish-language service is available for our clients who prefer to work in español.

Our Construction Programs

A Program for Every Build

Five real construction and renovation financing paths — pick the one that fits your project, or call us and we'll help you choose.

One Close Construction Loans

A single closing that combines your construction financing and permanent mortgage into one loan — it automatically converts to permanent financing once construction is complete, saving you a second closing and a second round of fees.

Conventional Renovation Loans

Combine the purchase or refinance of a home with the cost of renovating it into a single mortgage — one loan, one payment, one closing for both the property and the improvements.

FHA 203(k) Loans

Two tiers to fit the scope of your project: Limited 203(k) for smaller, DIY-friendly renovations up to $75,000, and Standard 203(k) for major structural repairs, available with as little as 3.5% down.

Private Money Construction Loans

Short-term funding from private lenders with credit-flexible qualification — a strong fit for investors and builders who need speed and flexibility that conventional financing can't offer.

HELOAN/HELOC Options

Access the equity you already have without losing your primary mortgage rate. See our HELOC & HELOAN page for the full breakdown of how these second-lien products work.

Common Questions

Construction Loan Questions

What is a one close construction loan?

It is a single closing that combines the construction financing and the permanent mortgage into one loan. When construction finishes, it converts to permanent financing automatically. You avoid a second closing and a second round of fees. It is one of five construction and renovation paths we place.

Can I finance a renovation on a home I am buying?

Yes. A conventional renovation loan rolls the purchase or refinance and the cost of the work into a single mortgage — one loan, one payment, one closing. An FHA 203(k) does the same on government-backed terms, with a limited tier for smaller projects and a standard tier for major structural work.

Which construction program fits my project?

It depends on whether you are building from the ground up, repairing a home you already own, or buying one that needs work. We place five construction and renovation paths, and the right one turns on your timeline, your equity and how much of the work is structural.

  • One Close Construction — build now, convert to permanent financing at completion
  • Conventional Renovation — buy or refinance and fund the work in one mortgage
  • FHA 203(k) — Limited for smaller work, Standard for major structural repairs
  • Private Money Construction — short-term, credit-flexible funding for builders and investors
  • HELOAN / HELOC — borrow against equity you already have
