Our shop, our crews, and most of our projects are all in town.
Kitchen remodeling for Aurora homes
Which Aurora kitchen you have depends on which Aurora you live in. In Original Aurora, Hoffman Heights, and the post-war neighborhoods on the west side, it’s a small mid-century kitchen walled off behind a bearing wall, with soffits overhead — the fix is opening the plan and rebuilding around a real work triangle, and we handle the beam and engineering when the wall carries load. In Village East and Aurora Hills, it’s the same story a decade later.
Out east in Saddle Rock, Tallyn’s Reach, and the Southlands subdivisions, the kitchens are recent and structurally fine — those projects are layout and finish: taking down the wall or peninsula to the family room, replacing builder-grade cabinetry and laminate with semi-custom and quartz, and adding an island the original plan never had. One city, sixty years of difference.
Permits and approvals in Aurora
Kitchen 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.
We remodel kitchens across Aurora, including Original Aurora, Hoffman Heights, Village East, Aurora Hills, Heather Ridge, Saddle Rock, Tallyn’s Reach, and the Southlands area, and the surrounding neighborhoods.
