Planned around the homes in Aurora
Aurora has an older town core surrounded by family neighbourhoods built from the 1970s onward. We plan renovations that update the house while keeping what already works.
The area around Yonge and Wellington has older homes, some with heritage character. Aurora Heights, Aurora Highlands and Hills of St. Andrew are largely 1970s to 1990s homes, while Bayview Wellington and Aurora Grove are newer communities where basements are a common first project.

Local considerations
What to plan for in Aurora
Every area has its own quirks. These are the ones we check for early in Aurora.
Heritage district
Part of north-east Aurora is a heritage conservation district, where exterior changes can need approval.
Older core homes
Homes near the historic core may need electrical, plumbing or insulation upgrades.
Consistent finishes
Open-plan main floors look best when flooring, trim and paint are chosen together.
Lot grading
Newer homes need basement work planned around existing grading and drainage.
Permits, budget and timing
Planning a renovation in Aurora
Building permits are issued by the Town of Aurora. Exterior changes within the heritage conservation district can need heritage approval before work starts.
Cabinetry, stone and tile lead times usually set the schedule for kitchens and bathrooms. Heritage approvals add time for exterior work.
Requirements depend on the property and the work involved, so we confirm what applies to your project before the scope is fixed.
