There are many ways to secure home improvement loans. If you only have a 1st mortgage on your home and you plan to use the equity to do these improvements.. you can investigage a 2nd mortgage, a home equity loan, or a home equity line of credit.
Depending on your situation you may want to refinance your home completely and get cash back to do the improvements.
In order to competently answer your question would need answers to the following questions:
How long have you owned the home?
what is the current LTV of your home and new appraised value?
what is your current interest rate and terms of your loan?
What is your credit situation? Credit score, mortgage lates… etc -

There are lots of variables here that you do not address in your question. What is the home worth now, what will it be worth post improvement? What is your credit situation? What is your first mortgage on the house and how old is that mortgage? What is the rate on your first mortgage. You may want to re-finance the first mortgage with 50K cash out to do the improvements. You will get a longer term and a fixed rate. Most seconds are adjustable rate and shorter term. You need to sit down and speak to a knowledgeable expert about all of your options. You are borrowing a good sum and the variables can add up to thousands.

Yes, if you have sufficient equity, you can refinance your first mortgage and take the cash out to do the improvement or get a fixed rate second or a Home Equity Line of Credit.
If, on the other hand, you don’t have sufficient equity to take on of those routes you may need a One Time Close construction/permanent loan. The home is valued as it will be upon completion of the improvements supplying the equity you need to fund the project. A licensed General Contractor must oversee the project. The payments are interest only on funds as they are disbursed. At completion the loan modifies to a roughly 30 year loan, depending on the construction term.
Not everyone offers this program. Let me know if you have any questions.
