Yes, it is possible to have both a home equity and home improvement loan at the same time.

The home equity loan will typically be guaranteed by the value of the property and the home improvement loan will typically be an unsecured personal loan.

Ideally, one would use the home equity loan (or line of credit) for home improvement activities in order to write off a portion of the interest paid from their taxes (unsecured personal loans do not get the same tax treatment).
