How it Works

Turning a fixer-upper into your dream home takes planning and financing. We simplify it into four clear steps you can follow with confidence.

1. Reimagine Your Space

Don’t move, improve! If your current home needs a refresh, Refi It Ugly lets you reimagine what’s possible without starting over.

2. Design the Upgrades

Collaborate with your contractor to plan the updates that matter most, modern kitchens, spa-style bathrooms, finished basements, or outdoor spaces that wow.

3. Roll it into One Loan

Bundle your existing mortgage and renovation costs into a single, affordable loan. No new second mortgage, no draining savings—just one streamlined payment that funds your home’s next chapter.

4. Stay Home & Watch It Transform

Skip the stress of moving and enjoy the excitement of watching your home evolve. With financing and contractors already secured, you can relax while your dream space comes to life.

From vision to renovation, every detail is coordinated — so you can upgrade with confidence, not chaos.

dream homes don’t startPERFECTthey end up that way.
