What’s different about Aurora

Aurora sits in the Chicago metro, sharing its higher labor costs and permitting while suburban scale keeps pricing below the city core.

  • Insulated siding and careful house-wrap detailing add cost in cold climates.
  • Permit fees and skilled-trade labor rates here run well above the national average — usually the single biggest cost driver.

How the cost is built

Siding cost is driven by wall area, material (vinyl is the budget option; engineered wood and fiber cement cost more), the number of stories, and trim around windows and doors. Tearing off old siding and repairing sheathing underneath adds to the total.
