Next door to our Newmarket base
Aurora sits right beside our base in Newmarket. We handle bathroom and kitchen renovations, basement finishing, second suites and painting for Aurora homeowners, starting with a free on-site estimate and a written, itemized quote.
Aurora mixes older homes near the historic Yonge and Wellington core with established family neighbourhoods and newer subdivisions such as Bayview Wellington and Aurora Grove. Larger homes in areas like Aurora Highlands and the Hills of St. Andrew often come with big kitchens and full-height basements that owners want to make better use of.
A common request in Aurora is updating a builder-grade kitchen or ensuite from the 1990s or 2000s, or finishing a basement for a growing family or a parent moving in. We look at what's behind the walls before recommending an approach.
The Town of Aurora says a building permit is generally not needed to finish a basement when no structural alterations or additional bedrooms are proposed, although some plumbing work can still need a plumbing permit. Adding bedrooms, changing structure or creating a second suite does need a permit.
Aurora's zoning permits second suites in detached, semi-detached and link houses, subject to conditions, and the Town's Additional Residential Units By-law 6660-24 requires those units to be registered. We confirm the details for your home and handle permits when they're needed.

The Town of Aurora says finishing a basement without structural alterations or additional sleeping rooms generally doesn't need a building permit, though some plumbing can need a plumbing permit.
