Toronto houses are built for additions.
Toronto is famous for home additions. It's a truly unique experience to live in Toronto, with a variety of cultures from all over the world, amazing multicultural people speaking tens of different languages, world-class schools and healthcare, and safe and sound neighborhoods. All of these factors make Toronto a truly unique place to live, and you'll want to stay. However, most Toronto houses were built in the first part of the 20th century or even earlier, and they're not up to modern standards. There's a need for more rooms, washrooms, basements, updated ceilings, outdated interior and exterior design, inconvenient layouts, etc. Fortunately, the previous generation of Torontonians were good builders. They left us with very sophisticated and structurally sound houses that are relatively easy to transform into spacious, modern homes that will serve us for many generations. Here at Wellcore Corporation, we have perfected how to transform the average Toronto house into a truly magnificent home for the entire family.
What addition can do to my home?
So, what transformations can be done to my home through additions? In short, almost anything. Adding to the house can expand space, add rooms, washrooms, garages, increase ceiling heights, deepen basement heights, completely overhaul layouts by relocating the kitchen to a different part of the house and enlarging it, create a family room or living room, add a powder room or entire washroom, relocate or create new windows much larger than before. A common addition in Toronto these days is adding an entire floor to a bungalow or a third floor to a two-story house! If that’s not enough, we can add more space to the basement by expanding the foundation and adding more square footage to the first floor! Consequently, the second floor adds even more area. There are endless possibilities to transform your current home into something spectacular. Visit our gallery for projects we have accomplished in the past and feel the difference made by many homeowners who chose Wellcore Corporation for their additions.

What Our Clients Say About Home Additions

They not only built my beautiful house (almost) in time but also ALWAYS show up if there are anything to be patched/fixed even months after the house was built. Alex is extremely responsible which I believe is the MOST important when you are building a house.
We have interviewed a dozen of small and big contractors and when I met with Alex with his very detailed contract, my wife and I decided to go with Wellcore. More I hear about horror stories from people around me with their contractors (there are 2 houses on my street with 2 different builders have stopped building for more than 6 months), I realize that I was very lucky to find Alex. They not only built my beautiful house (almost) in time but also ALWAYS show up if there are anything to be patched/fixed even months after the house was built. Alex is extremely responsible which I believe is the MOST important when you are building a house. Anyone can build a house but I haven’t met that many responsible GC. Thanks again for building the beautiful house. I’m (almost) sick and tired of people taking pictures of my house and yelling “you have a beautiful house” daily. :P Special thanks to Vince, Nat and Eugene. It was fun building house with you.

This was a large undertaking by our family. We essentially kept 3 walls and the roof. Everything else is new. The work was completed on time and on budget, which is a rarity in today's age. Thank you Alex for helping us reshape our house. We're pleased with the results and look forward to settling down in our modern home.

I couldn’t be happier with professionalism and resourcefulness of Alex and his team! Our house turned out to have a great flow with lots of air and light, thanks to lots of useful advice from Alex’s architect including a proposal to add carved out ceilings in upstairs bedrooms. All finishes look stunning and very well done. Due to peculiar positioning of the house permits weren’t easy to obtain and drawings required a lot of work – Alex’s team followed through on the entire process end-to-end and I didn’t have to worry about anything. For the same reason (house location) construction was challenging, but again, Wellcore made it all work beautifully. Thank you so much for all your dedication and making the seemingly impossible achievement to happen!

Review of Wellcore Corporation custom house build
I am writing this review for Wellcore Corporation who completed our custom house (Scarborough images on their website) in June of 2017. This may be a lengthy review for some, but I feel it is necessary to convey our experiences with Wellcore over the course of this project. If you find it's too long, I've summarized the review below. Summary This summary is what you should read if you want the quick rundown on our experience. Overall, I would highly recommend Wellcore. They are genuine and caring and will ultimately ensure that you are satisfied at all steps of the project. It's honestly easy to hire a contractor and have them build a house, but the question that remains is what type of relationship will be built between the individual and contractor throughout the project and what level of quality is maintained throughout the project. At the end of the project, we developed a strong relationship with Wellcore. We are 100% positive that we made the correct decision and not because our house was built by them, but because we hired professionals that brought experience and quality to the table in a timely fashion. Right from the beginning, they outlined the steps involved in undertaking this project and reassured us that every step would meet our expectations. We know that the house is well built and will last just as long as our 93 year old house. As a side note, during this project we hired an urban planner in Newmarket for the permit phase (we found the urban planners thinking they would help us get the permits quicker; they were separate from Wellcore) who were deceitful. I want to bring this up to show that our project certainly wasn't without it's hiccups, so we've met individuals throughout the project that we would never hire again. During the lengthy time of trying to acquire the permits with the poor performance of the urban planner, Wellcore continued to back us up (help us acquire permits) and reassured us that we would be successful in acquiring permits. With Wellcore, we would definitely hire them again. Before I finish I would like to say that I've posted this review on multiple websites and that the level of detail of this review reflects what I think of the company. Furthermore, you should do your research and read reviews in detail before hiring anyone, we interviewed several builders and decided on Wellcore. Should you decide to go with Wellcore, you definitely won't regret it. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
