Interior Remodeling in Aurora
Sometimes a home does not need new rooms; it needs the existing ones to connect, flow and feel current. RENAWO remodels Aurora interiors by reworking layouts, floors, stairs, trim and lighting so the whole level works better together.
Layout and Flow
Changing How a Home Lives Without Adding Space
Interior remodeling focuses on the shell you already have. Opening a wall between living areas, relocating a doorway, replacing mixed flooring with one continuous surface or rebuilding a dated staircase can change daily life as much as a new addition, often with less disruption.
The key is understanding the structure first. Before proposing an open plan, we identify which walls carry loads, where ducts and plumbing run inside them and how a new beam or post would affect the rooms around it. That lets us design a layout that is both attractive and buildable, rather than a sketch that changes once demolition starts.
Local Considerations
Interior Layouts We See Across Aurora
Different eras of Aurora housing tend to share the same layout frustrations, which makes them good starting points for a remodel.
Formal rooms that go unused
Many 1980s and 1990s homes have separate living and dining rooms near the front door that families rarely use. Reallocating that space to a study, a larger kitchen or a more open great room is a common goal.
Divided postwar main floors
Bungalows and side-splits often separate kitchen, dining and living areas with full walls. Selective opening can bring in light and make the floor feel larger.
Character interiors in older homes
In houses near the historic core, original mouldings, doors and hardwood can be restored or matched, so new openings feel like part of the house rather than an intrusion.
Dated stairs and foyers
Carpeted treads, spindle railings and builder-grade foyer lighting are frequent targets. Updating them changes the first impression of the entire home.

Planning & Permits
Structure, Services and Floor Transitions
Removing a wall is rarely just a matter of taking it down. Load-bearing walls need a properly sized beam and support down to the foundation, and any wiring, heating ducts or plumbing inside them must be rerouted. Floors also need attention: the strip of subfloor left behind, or rooms finished at slightly different heights, must be levelled so new flooring runs continuously.
We plan these details on paper, involving an engineer where structural changes call for one, so the finished space has clean ceilings, consistent floor heights and lighting placed where you need it.
Building permits for Aurora are handled by the Town of Aurora. Depending on the scope of work, a permit may be required — see the Town of Aurora website or ask us to review your project during planning.

FAQ
Interior Remodeling Questions in Aurora
Can any wall in my Aurora home be removed?
Most walls can be removed or opened, but load-bearing walls require an engineered beam and support, and some contain services that must be rerouted. We assess each wall before confirming what is practical.
Is a permit needed for interior remodeling in Aurora?
Depending on the scope of work, a permit may be required. Structural changes such as removing a load-bearing wall commonly need approval, while cosmetic updates generally do not. We confirm with the Town before work begins.
Will an open concept make my older home lose its character?
It does not have to. Wider cased openings, preserved trim and matched flooring can connect rooms while keeping the details that make an older house special.
Can new flooring run through the whole main floor?
Usually, yes. We level transitions between rooms and plan the layout direction so one material can flow continuously.
Can you update a staircase without replacing it?
Often. Carpeted stairs can be capped or refinished with new treads, and railings and spindles can be replaced while keeping the existing structure.
