An Aurora home renovation takes in several rooms or the whole house, including second storey additions, open-concept layouts and new flooring. Google reviewers rate us 5.0, and every job ends with a walkthrough and a 30-day check-in.
What We OfferWe renovate Aurora houses room by room or all at once, with licensed trades on the electrical and plumbing. In Northeast Old Aurora, a district of late 1800s and early 1900s houses, additions and exterior changes need the Town's heritage permit before the building permit.
Top to bottom
Your whole home gets redone, foundation to roof, by one team on one timeline. You have one point of contact, and we manage all the trades and details.
Walls come down
For a more open main floor, we handle permits, structural engineering and the work itself: walls come out, beams go in, and the rooms flow.
Expand upward
Need more space? We add second stories, dormers, and additions. Full architectural plans, permits, and construction, all managed in-house.
Bundle & save
Doing more than one room? Run the kitchen and bathroom as one project with us and you get better pricing, a faster timeline and finishes that match.
Unified foundation
We install hardwood, engineered, LVP or tile the same way in every room. Thresholds match, transitions are handled, and the house looks like one piece.
Every detail
Trim, doors, hardware, paint, lighting. We refresh every surface so your renovated spaces flow naturally into the rest of your home.

Contact us to check availability →FAQScope comes first, then the house and the lot. In Aurora, a century-old house in Northeast Old Aurora adds a heritage permit for additions and exterior work, plus the allowance an old structure needs. A yard that slopes toward the house adds regrading, since the Town makes lot grading the owner's job. An addition on a lot in a stream hazard area adds a conservation authority permit. Each one is listed separately on the quote.
Usually 8 to 16 weeks of construction. In Aurora the approvals can take time before that: a designated house or one in a heritage district needs its heritage permit before the building permit is issued, and an addition on a lot in a river or stream hazard area needs a conservation authority permit, with studies, before it can go ahead. Those steps go into the schedule from the quote stage.
Most whole-house plans need at least one, and an Aurora house can need several. Work needing a building permit on a designated property or one in a Heritage Conservation District needs a heritage permit first. In the downtown Community Planning Permit area, adding a unit counts as intensification and needs a Community Planning Permit. On a lot in a stream hazard area, an addition needs the conservation authority's permit. We file each one and book the inspections.
Read what past clients say about jobs as big as yours. Mark Milovanov wrote that he had worried 'a job with so many parts would be so complicated', and that Max's 'customer-service-oriented' mindset was what he needed. Then confirm a licence, insurance and WSIB coverage, and licensed trades on the electrical and plumbing. For a house in Northeast Old Aurora, ask to see the heritage permit and the allowance for the old structure as separate lines on the quote.

With us, all of it: design and 3D renders, the itemized quote, selections, our crew and the licensed trades, the schedule, and every permit and inspection. For a designated house or one in a heritage district, that includes the heritage permit Aurora requires before it issues a building permit.

It can be. We renovate Aurora houses room by room as well as all at once, and the room-by-room route leaves most of the house in use while each part is done.
People also ask
The homeowner. The Town of Aurora leaves it to owners to grade their lot so overland flow is carried away from the house. If your yard tips toward the foundation, regrading can be added to the renovation and priced on its own line.

Not always. A gut renovation takes rooms back to the studs, while a whole home renovation can do that in some rooms and refinish others. Which one an Aurora house needs usually becomes clear when we walk through it with you at the first visit.
People also ask
Downtown it takes one more approval than elsewhere in Aurora: a Community Planning Permit. The Downtown Community Planning Permit By-law exempts interior renovations only where there is no change of use or intensification, and a new unit counts as intensification. Legal basement units are part of our work, and we file that application along with the building permit.
People also ask
It can. On an existing lot in a river or stream hazard area, Aurora's Official Plan allows development subject to a permit from the conservation authority, which brings studies and time before the building permit.

Good to KnowThe number of rooms sets most of the cost of whole-house work, and some Aurora houses carry extra scope. A house in Northeast Old Aurora is more than a century old and falls under district rules, so additions and exterior changes need a heritage permit first, and the old structure needs allowing for. Where the yard slopes toward the house, the lot has to be regraded so water runs away from the foundation, a job the Town leaves to the homeowner.
Every part of the job is itemized in the quote that follows a free consultation at the house, so the heritage permit, the grading or an addition shows up as its own line, and you can see what each one adds before deciding.
The Town of Aurora's Heritage Permit Guide says work that needs a building permit on a property in a Heritage Conservation District, or on an individually designated property, needs a heritage permit before the building permit is issued. For a whole-house job in Northeast Old Aurora, that puts heritage review at the front of the schedule for additions and exterior changes.
Downtown has its own rule. In the Community Planning Permit area, interior renovations are exempt only when there is no change of use or intensification, so a plan that adds a unit there needs a Community Planning Permit as well. Reno Raptors files the applications and books the inspections.
The Northeast Old Aurora Heritage Conservation District lies mostly in the northeast quadrant of Yonge Street and Wellington Street East, and its houses date largely from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A whole-home renovation there plans around a structure more than a hundred years old and around district rules for exterior changes, so the approvals are worked out before the design is final.
The Town of Aurora puts the grading of a lot on the homeowner: overland water has to be directed away from the house. A whole-house job is a good time to correct a yard that slopes the wrong way, and any addition or walkout is built with grading that sheds water off the foundation. If the lot is in a river or stream hazard area, the Official Plan allows development on an existing lot subject to a permit from the conservation authority, which brings studies and extra time before the building permit.
Aurora work is run from our Bradford office, and both offices share one phone line, answered Monday to Friday from 8am to 6pm. We carry a licence, insurance and WSIB coverage. If you're living in the house while it's renovated, dust is controlled every day and the work areas are kept safe for children and pets, and the daily update from your project manager tells you which rooms come next.
It begins at the house, at no charge: we measure, walk each room with you, and agree on a budget before drawing anything. You then get 3D renders and an itemized quote. Tile, stone, wood and fixtures are chosen together and kept inside the budget. Once building starts, a single project manager runs the schedule, with an update to you each day. When the work is done we go through every room together, then check in 30 days later. Since 2018 we have finished more than 600 projects.
