Aurora Homes Deserve More Than Builder Basics
Aurora has expanded quickly in recent years, creating a mix of housing styles with very different renovation needs. Heritage homes in the town’s core often require careful modernization that respects their original charm. 1990s builds in Bayview Wellington typically feature closed-off layouts and finishes that no longer suit today’s routines. Luxury properties in Aurora Highlands call for chef-inspired kitchens and spa-like bathrooms that match the scale of these homes. Newer communities like Bayview Meadows offer solid layouts but often need customization so the house truly reflects the family living in it.
With our local knowledge and years of experience, we know how to deliver upgrades that work for Aurora families—projects that add comfort, improve function, and increase long-term value.
Renovation Services We Deliver in Aurora, ON
Kitchens That Bring Families Together
Aurora kitchens built between 1990 and 2005 across Bayview Wellington, Bayview Northeast, and Aurora Heights share the same problems: closed floor plans, outdated cabinetry, cramped counter space, and undersized electrical panels. We redesign them from the structural level up.
In Aurora Highlands and Stone Road Estates, we complete full kitchen remodels with custom cabinetry, chef-grade appliances, oversized islands, and finishes that match the scale of the home.
Kitchen renovations in Aurora start at $20,000 for a cosmetic refresh and reach $90,000+ for a full luxury remodel. Timelines run 4 to 12 weeks depending on scope.
Bathrooms That Bring Calm to Busy Routines
Most Aurora bathrooms built before 2005 have inadequate storage, poor ventilation, and fixtures past their useful life. We complete full bathroom remodels from standard updates and family bath upgrades to primary ensuite retreats with heated floors, custom tile work, and walk-in showers.
Heritage homes along Yonge Street and Downtown Aurora get careful updates that modernize plumbing and electrical systems while keeping the property’s original character intact.
Bathroom renovations in Aurora start at $12,000 for a standard update and reach $50,000+ for a primary ensuite. Timelines run 2 to 7 weeks depending on scope.

We Pull Every Aurora Building Permit — You Don't Touch the Process
- Structural, plumbing, and electrical changes in Aurora require a permit under the Ontario Building Code. Skip that permit and you risk a stop-work order, forced demolition of completed work, and problems at resale when title insurance flags unpermitted construction.
- We prepare and submit every permit application to the Town of Aurora Building Division, coordinate inspections at each construction stage, and manage every approval through to sign-off. You do not call the building department. You do not follow up on timelines.
- For properties near tributaries or regulated areas in eastern Aurora, the Lake Simcoe Region Conservation Authority (LSRCA) may also require approval before construction starts. We identify this at your consultation and build it into the project schedule.
- Permits we obtain for Aurora renovation projects:
- Kitchen permits: wall removals, plumbing relocation, gas line adjustments, electrical panel upgrades
Bathroom permits: fixture relocation, heated floor installation, ventilation upgrades, plumbing rough-in changes
Staircase permits: structural changes to stringers, rise-and-run modifications, guardrail height compliance
Structural permits: load-bearing wall removal, beam installation, foundation modifications - Town of Aurora Building Division permit timelines:
- Residential alteration permit: approximately 10 business days (complete submission)
Addition or secondary suite permit: approximately 15 business days (complete submission)
