Renovation in Aurora
Aurora's got more variety in its housing than people give it credit for. There's the historic downtown core with homes going back over a century, solid postwar streets, and the larger custom and estate-style properties toward the edges of town. We size up the job differently depending on which Aurora you're in.
Century homes downtown
Balsam Street and the blocks around it have real character — plaster walls, original trim, foundations that need respect. We work carefully to keep what makes these homes worth having.
Larger lots, larger scope
Estate properties toward the northeast often mean bigger additions and more site work. Septic and well considerations come up more here than in most GTA towns.
Mature tree canopy
Aurora's tree cover is dense in older neighbourhoods. Root systems affect where we can dig for additions or new foundations, and we plan around that instead of fighting it.
Additions that clash with an older home's character
We've seen additions in Aurora that look bolted on — different siding, mismatched roofline, windows that don't line up with the original. It happens when the design work skips the step of actually studying the existing house.
We match pitch, proportion, and materials before we build
Before any addition gets framed, we look hard at roofline pitch, window spacing, and siding profile on the original structure. The goal is an addition that looks like it was always there, not one that announces itself from the street.
Why Aurora homeowners choose Craft Peak
We treat older Aurora homes with more care than a production-home crew usually will, and we bring the same discipline to newer builds.

Full coverage on every job, permit-pulled where required by the Town of Aurora.

Aurora renovation questions
Do you handle additions on older Aurora homes?
Yes, that's a good chunk of our work in Aurora. We spend extra time upfront matching rooflines and materials so the addition doesn't look tacked on.
What about homes on septic near Aurora's edges?
We coordinate around septic and well systems on larger lots. It affects where we can excavate and sometimes changes the sequence of the job.
Can you preserve original trim and plaster in a century home?
In most cases yes, though plaster repair takes more time than drywall patching and we price that in honestly rather than surprise you later.
Does Aurora require permits for renovations?
Most structural, electrical, and plumbing work does need a Town of Aurora permit. We take care of that process as part of the project.
