Aurora Homes was fantastic to work with, especially given this was our first home build. Interactions with the team were frequent and personable, and we were grateful for the team’s knowledge and insight along the way as we made some very large and expensive decisions. We felt like by the end of our build, we were much more knowledgeable about home ownership and made some genuine friendships with the Aurora team along the way.
It is important to note that Aurora is a small, local builder, which offers a different experience than a large corporation. Because of their smaller size, the process was personalized and incredibly flexible. We were able to customize our floor plan far more than any other builder allowed, and our home reflects exactly what we wanted. This approach is a great fit for homeowners who enjoy being involved in the details and deciding on the specific aspects of how their house is built.
Aurora works closely with a range of local contractors. As with any new build, a few issues came up along the way, but what really stood out was how Aurora handled them. They made any necessary corrections at no cost to us, and ensured we were happy with the result. Even after moving in, Aurora has been great about resolving minor items through their warranty program.
It is important to note that the build timeline with Aurora Homes can be slower than timelines with larger builders. Aurora Homes consists of a small team and they do not use pre-constructed framing for their homes. The longer timeline did not bother us as we managed our expectations when starting the process and felt avoiding the pre-constructed framing was worth the wait.
We absolutely love our home and enjoy seeing our design choices/lifestyle reflected in our house. If you are looking for a personal, collaborative experience building a unique-to-you home, Aurora Homes is an incredible option!

We enjoyed the build process for our retirement home. The house was built well with 2x6 exterior walls and we were kept informed at each step of the process. Aurora was open to minor modifications to the plans to make the house more like we wanted it. We chose the Hunter plans and the house is beautiful. I would chose Aurora again with a few more changes to the plans.

BUYER BEWARE!! It takes them 15 to 17 months to build a house. Our house smelled like sewage once a week, every week for 8 months. The builder did nothing. Never told us we weren't hooked up to a pump station. He had no clue how to complete the sewage pump station hookup. He had to pump out the sewage by truck for over 10 months. They have a excuse for everything. The so called project manager is the owners son in law. His favorite saying is nothings perfect. Once you house is done you'll never see them again. Good luck getting anything fixed. Our kitchen cabinets never did get fixed, sub contractor stopped working for them, never heard from him again. Upstairs windows were installed wrong, project manager manager said they weren't. We called Anderson, they came out and fixed them and our vinyl slider that had a crack in it for free. They will lie right to you face and never respond to emails. In response to your your answer, we signed contract our 10/4/2021. You said our house would be done 10/2022, not 12/22/2022 when we settled. You try and twist everything!!! You were the cause of the pump station, as we called the county many times. You never take responsibility for anything. Never apologize about anything. Even when our house smelled like sewage. It's funny how you have time to answer reviews and do podcasts, But you can't build a house on time!!!
**Buyer beware. With most new construction, the builder prefers to deal directly with the consumer without any buyer representation. This creates an uneven playing ball field, especially for one of the largest transactions of your life.
Evidently, this builder makes empty promises and fails to deliver on time. If you are considering an Aurora home, you may want to seriously reconsider. The work may never be completed, and your deposit will be at risk. This builder uses your deposit money to fund another property while the builder is constantly operating behind schedule. A total scam**

Be very careful before making a deposit with this company. They do a great job selling as a family run builder who does all work themselves. Aurora lays out this perfect timeline for the construction of your home, but then once they have your deposit, the game changes!
Aurora will explain away the delays for site work, as permitting issues, then weather conditions, then back to the county on permitting, claiming there’s so much building the county can’t keep up.
Aurora appears to run there business like a Ponzi scheme, dragging out the project until some unsuspecting drops a deposit down, so they can do a little on the next one to make it appear there’s been progress. Then the excuses start again, all the big developers are getting the concrete trucks, and we are getting blocked out, so can’t get the foundation poured. Buyers Beware!
