Our shop, our crews, and most of our projects are all in town.
Bathroom remodeling for Aurora homes
Aurora’s bathrooms split the same way the city does. In the post-war west-side homes, they’re small, original, and built before waterproofing was standard — often one hall bath with a tub-shower combo. Converting that unused tub into a large walk-in shower and rebuilding the wet area with cement board, membrane, and a water-tested pan is the project we do most here. In the newer east-side homes, it’s usually the oversized garden tub in the primary that nobody uses.
The electrical piece matters more in Aurora right now than anywhere else in the metro. Bathrooms require GFCI protection and proper exhaust ventilation, and with the city moving to the 2026 National Electrical Code on August 1, 2026, the standard your bathroom’s electrical is reviewed and inspected against depends on when the permit application lands. We plan the submittal around it deliberately.
Permits and approvals in Aurora
Bathroom remodeling at this scope is permitted work, and we pull the permits and schedule the inspections for you. In Aurora that runs through the City of Aurora’s Building Division, part of Planning and Development Services, via the city’s online services at Aurora4Biz.org, under the building and trade codes Aurora has adopted.
There’s a change landing in Aurora right now that matters for anything electrical. Beginning August 1, 2026, the City of Aurora — in conjunction with the State of Colorado — transitions to the 2026 National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). Any electrical permit application received after July 31, 2026 is reviewed and inspected to the 2026 NEC. If your project involves rewiring, new circuits, a panel upgrade, or a kitchen or bath that touches electrical — and almost all of them do — the code your home is held to depends on when the application lands. We plan around it rather than getting caught by it.
Aurora moves to the 2026 National Electrical Code on August 1, 2026. On any project touching electrical, the timing of your application decides the standard — we plan for it.
