Custom Renovations in Aurora
Not every renovation fits a standard category. RENAWO takes on focused Aurora projects — a mudroom that finally contains the chaos, a quiet office, a better laundry or built-ins that suit an older house — and plans them with the same care as a larger renovation.
Targeted Projects
Solving the Specific Problem in Your Home
Custom renovations usually begin with one frustration. Boots and backpacks pile up at the side door, a laptop lives permanently on the dining table, laundry happens two floors away from the bedrooms, or a parent moving in needs a more accessible room. These are practical problems with very specific answers.
Our job is to understand the problem clearly before designing a solution. We look at how the household moves through the space, what has to be stored, which services are nearby and how the new work will tie into existing finishes. A small project done this way feels built-in and intentional, not added on.
Local Considerations
Custom Projects That Suit Aurora Homes
The custom requests we hear in Aurora often follow from the way local houses were laid out when they were built.
Garage and side-door entries
Many family homes enter through the garage into a narrow laundry or hall. Reworking that zone into a mudroom with benches, lockers and durable flooring is a popular upgrade.
Working from home
Spare bedrooms, underused formal rooms and lower levels can become dedicated offices with proper lighting, sound control and data wiring.
Built-ins for older houses
In character homes near the town centre, library walls, window seats and cabinetry designed to match existing trim add storage without losing period feel.
Changing household needs
Main-floor bedrooms, wider doorways and accessible bathrooms help homes adapt for multigenerational living or aging in place.

Planning & Permits
Planning Small Projects Properly
Small projects can have surprisingly technical requirements. Relocating a laundry upstairs needs water supply, drainage, venting and a leak-protection plan; a home office may need additional circuits; an accessibility upgrade may involve changes to floor levels or framing. We identify these needs before quoting so the scope is realistic.
We also pay attention to how new work meets the existing house. Matching trim profiles, paint and flooring transitions is what makes a custom project look as though it was always there.
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
Custom Renovations & Upgrades Questions in Aurora
Do you take on smaller renovation projects in Aurora?
Yes. Focused projects such as mudrooms, offices, laundry rooms and built-ins are a core part of what we do, and they receive the same planning and finishing standards as larger work.
Do custom renovations in Aurora need permits?
Depending on the scope of work, a permit may be required. Moving plumbing, altering structure or creating a new bedroom commonly involves approvals, while built-in cabinetry generally does not. We confirm with the Town before starting.
Can a laundry room be moved to the second floor?
Often, if water supply, drainage and dryer venting can be routed practically. We also recommend a drain pan or leak protection for upper-floor laundry.
Can built-ins match the original trim in an older home?
Yes. We can design cabinetry and mouldings that follow existing profiles and proportions so new work blends with the house.
What accessibility upgrades are most useful?
It depends on the household, but wider doorways, reduced thresholds, a main-floor bathroom and grab-bar blocking are common, practical starting points.
