Kitchen Remodel Aurora, CO
Aurora’s older central neighborhoods have closed, compartmentalized kitchens from the 1960s and 70s. Southeast Aurora’s 2000s homes have more open layouts — but builder-grade finishes that are now 20-plus years old. Both are ready for an update. Arch Design & Build handles design, engineering, and construction under one contract
How Much Does a Kitchen Remodel Cost in Aurora?
The layout decision is where the cost splits.
Keeping the existing plumbing and electrical in place and refreshing surfaces keeps you in the lower range. Moving the sink, opening a wall, or relocating the range puts you into structural and rough-in work. In Aurora’s older central homes, that wall between the kitchen and living area is often load-bearing. We determine that on the first visit — before any design dollars are spent.

Aurora Permits for Kitchen Remodels
Do I need a permit for a kitchen remodel in Aurora?
Moving plumbing, adding circuits, or removing walls — yes. The City of Aurora requires permits for any structural or mechanical change. We prepare all documentation, file every application, and handle every inspection. You don’t fill out a form
Why Remodel Now?
A kitchen remodel returns 60–80% at resale. In Aurora’s southeast neighborhoods — where homes trade well above $500,000 — that’s meaningful equity. And with buying up an expensive move at current rates, investing in the kitchen you already own is consistently the smarter call

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you open up a closed kitchen in an older Aurora home?
Usually yes — but we confirm what’s in the wall first. Load-bearing walls require engineered beams and structural permits. We handle both in-house, which is faster than coordinating a third-party engineer.
How long does a kitchen remodel take in Aurora?
Cosmetic refresh: 3–5 weeks. Mid-range with plumbing changes: 5–8 weeks. Full gut with structural work: 8–12 weeks. City of Aurora permit review is built into the timeline from day one.
My southeast Aurora home already has an open layout. What's the value in remodeling?
Builder-grade finishes from the early 2000s — stock cabinets, basic countertops, standard lighting — are showing their age. A mid-range update moves the needle significantly at resale and transforms how the kitchen actually functions day to day.
