Recognized as one of the premier builders in Northeast Florida , Aurora Builders has built a solid reputation for quality craftsmanship and overall customer satisfaction in Jacksonville , Ponte Vedra , and the surrounding beach communities . “ I ’ m very proud to say that Aurora is now 27 years old ,” exclaims Michael Lenahen , president and owner . “ We began back in 1997 as Aurora Custom Homes , building exclusively luxury custom homes . However , knowing that the market could change at any time , I felt the need to diversify . So , in 2001 , I opened a second company , Aurora Custom Remodeling , and we functioned well for many years as two entities under one roof . Eventually , in 2017 , we merged the two to become Aurora Builders .
“ We provide two distinct services ,” says Michael . “ The first is the construction of luxury custom homes for those who own property and wish to create a dream home for their family . The second offering is residential remodeling , where we focus on larger , structural modifications to homes . Unlike the plethora of Kitchen & Bath remodelers , Aurora Builders focuses solely on room additions , adding a second story to a one-story home , or the complete renovation of the interior or exterior of the home .”
Michael ’ s entry into the construction industry did not follow the typical storyline . Unlike those who grew up in the building business as framers or tradesmen , he focused more on educating himself into the ‘ why ’ and ‘ how ’ of construction . Michael earned two degrees in architecture on his way to understanding the principles of design , flow , and function . He employs this unique knowledge to assist his clients during the plan and design stage for both new home construction and modifications to existing homes .
