One Team for Every Aurora Home Project
Alt & Alt isn’t a company that services Aurora from somewhere else. We’re based right here in Portage County, we know the streets around East Garfield Road, and we maintain the same kind of homes you live in.
As an exterior contractor in Aurora, OH, we handle roofing, siding, gutters, fencing, decks, brickwork, and home additions under one roof. That means one trusted crew for the whole home — not five different numbers to call.

Part of the Aurora Neighborhood, Not Passing Through
There’s a real difference between a contractor who just drives through your city and one who’s part of it. We’re the second kind.
We’ve worked on classic mid-century homes and newer estate developments across the city. That range matters, because a roof or a foundation detail on an older home isn’t handled the same way as on a new one. Two decades in Portage County means we already know what each Aurora home needs.
Being local also means we answer fast. When a storm rolls through near Aurora’s historic downtown and nearby Sunny Lake Park, we’re already close by — not routing a crew in from another county.
Aurora Winters and Storms Test Every Exterior
Aurora weather is tougher on homes than people expect, and it adds up year after year.
Lake-effect snow loads the roof for weeks. Freeze-thaw cycles work moisture into every crack, joint, and shingle seam. Summer brings hail and hard storms, and the mature tree canopy near Aurora’s historic downtown and nearby Sunny Lake Park drops debris into gutters all fall.
We build and repair with all of that in mind — deeper footings, better flashing, and materials rated for exactly these conditions. Our storm damage repair Aurora service also steps in fast after severe weather, documenting damage and handling the insurance claim for you.
The Aurora Services We Provide, Start to Finish
Most Aurora homeowners would rather have one team they trust than a list of separate specialists. We cover the whole home, inside and out.
Roofing
Aurora is upscale and green — communities like Aurora Shores, Walden, and the homes around Barrington are set among lakes, ponds, and golf-course fairways, often on generous wooded lots. That means larger, more architecturally detailed roofs under real tree cover. As your roofing contractor in Aurora, we handle those bigger replacements and storm repairs with the ventilation and algae-resistant detailing all that shade calls for, and we back every job with manufacturer and workmanship warranties.
Siding
Aurora’s many lakeside and pond-side lots carry a moisture load, and its upscale homes present a lot of finished elevation to keep looking right. Our siding work — vinyl, insulated, fiber-cement — leads with flashing every opening so water stays outside, and on these larger homes we treat color and profile consistency across a big facade as part of the craft. In gated and HOA communities, we also make sure the product and color meet the community’s standards.
Fencing
Aurora issues its own permits through its building department at 129 West Pioneer Trail — not through Portage County — and its gated and HOA communities add strict rules of their own about what you can build. We reconcile all of it before a post goes in. On the lakeside and golf-course lots, we set posts 32 inches down past frost, concreted so nothing shifts, in wood, vinyl, aluminum, or chain-link, with the moisture-exposed wood properly sealed.
Gutters
Wooded, water-adjacent Aurora lots combine a heavy leaf load with ground that’s already damp, and a big home overwhelms an undersized gutter fast. We form seamless gutters on-site, pitch them to move real volume, guard the shaded runs, and size downspouts to the roof so a hard storm gets carried well away from the foundation rather than pooling on a lakeside lot.
Decks
Lakeside and golf-course lots in Aurora Shores, Walden, and Barrington are made for a good deck — and the water-adjacent, sometimes sloped ground makes footings and the ledger connection critical. We dig to frost depth, flash the ledger so the house stays dry, and build multi-level or elevated decks that make the most of a lake or fairway view. Composite, pressure-treated, or a rehab of an aging deck, with extra sealing where moisture runs high.
Brickwork
Upscale Aurora homes suit substantial masonry — brick and stone patios, outdoor fireplaces, tall chimneys, columns — and freeze-thaw, sped along by the area’s moisture, works at the mortar over time. We build new masonry laid clean and sealed against the cycle, and tuckpoint joints that have begun to open before water gets deeper into a wall or chimney. Work scaled and finished to suit a high-end property.
Additions & Remodels
Aurora homeowners build for the long haul and for the setting — additions with big windows on the water, sunrooms facing a fairway, whole-home remodels. We match roofline, siding, and finishes so the new work reads as original across a large elevation, and we permit through the City of Aurora’s own building department while meeting any gated- or HOA-community standards. From framing to the final walkthrough, one accountable crew stays on it start to finish.

Your Aurora Home Questions, Answered
Do you offer free estimates in Aurora?
Yes. Every inspection and estimate is completely free, done on-site, and carries no obligation. We assess the full project in person — roof, siding, gutters, or anything else — and give you clear, itemized pricing before you decide anything. There’s never a fee to have us take a look, and never any pressure to move forward afterward.
How fast can you respond after a storm in Aurora?
Because we’re based nearby in Portage County, we don’t dispatch crews from hours away when weather hits Aurora. Most storm inspections are booked within one to two business days, and when there’s active water coming in, we move faster to tarp and stabilize before the damage grows. We also document everything for your insurance claim.
Do you work on both older and newer Aurora homes?
Absolutely. We’ve handled classic mid-century homes and newer estate developments across the city. Older homes come with their own quirks — aged flashing, original framing, non-standard rooflines — and after 20-plus years working across Portage County, we’ve seen and solved all of them.
Are you licensed and insured?
Yes, fully. We carry general liability and workers’ compensation on every single job, protecting you and your property from the moment we arrive. We’re also A+ rated with the BBB and hold manufacturer certifications from Owens Corning, GAF, and CertainTeed.
Do you handle insurance claims for storm damage?
We do, from beginning to end. We inspect the roof and exterior, photograph every bit of damage, and prepare the documentation your insurer requires. Then we deal with your adjuster directly, so you’re not left decoding claims language or chasing approvals yourself.
What does an exterior project cost in Aurora?
It depends entirely on scope — a targeted repair is a very different figure from a full replacement or a home addition. Instead of guessing, we provide free, itemized, on-site estimates so you know exactly what you’re paying for before work begins. Flexible financing through Hearth is available if you’d rather spread the cost over time.
