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 There's a need for more rooms, washrooms, basements, updated ceilings, outdated interior and exterior design, inconvenient layouts, etc.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
-
Just imagine one of those ancient downtown multi-tenant wrecks with "good bones". Alex always found an "in-budget" way to include a restoration feature, and affordable ways to solve a problem. And many thanks to Natalia for wonderful and endlessly patient design assistance. Plus, Wellcore handled all the drawings, permits, and inspections. I was so lucky to find this company and will definitely use them again.

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.

I would highly recommend Wellcore for your renovations. They provided a detailed budget, so we were able to see what the money was being spent on and that there were no hidden costs. Alex and his team at Wellcore stayed on budget and on schedule.

Alex and his team at Wellcore made my vision become real. Just imagine one of those ancient downtown multi-tenant wrecks with "good bones". I had no idea I was in for a gut job! Thank goodness Alex was smart enough to anticipate what we would encounter and bid an adequate budget -- which he was vigilant about monitoring -- to make sure I always approved any "extras" before proceeding. My goal was to end up with 3 bedrooms, while turning another into a master suite/walk-in closet. This meant we had to fortify an attic floor and replace a dangerous staircase. Alex came with me before I bought the house to confirm this plan was feasible. It was only possible because he had the brilliant idea to flip the direction of 3 flights of stairs to provide safe, well-positioned access to all levels. The quality of the construction (yayyy Vince!) and the craftsmanship of the interior finishings is top-notch (and I am a very demanding customer). The team take real pride in the beauty of what they are creating. Alex never made me feel stupid or unreasonable, and always greeted me with a smile and a "can-do" attitude even when he knew I was going to ask him to adjust something! He always found an "in-budget" way to include a restoration feature, and affordable ways to solve a problem. And many thanks to Natalia for wonderful and endlessly patient design assistance. Plus, Wellcore handled all the drawings, permits, and inspections. I was so lucky to find this company and will definitely use them again.

In May 2020 We hired WellCore to renovate/rebuild a 2.5 storey house and add an extension at the back.
We chose WellCore based on the very clear and transparent budgeting information that they provided. Their quote was competitive and they had excellent client references.
During the demolition phase, there were a number of surprises, due to the age of the house, but Vince and Alex were able to solve these problems as they came up. Both Alex and Nat had very good design ideas and helped us a lot in making decisions. Anna provided a project chart to make sure we choose everything in time for the construction. She also connected us with suppliers and provided choices for each phase of the project.
Eugene and the construction team were excellent. Even though the cost of materials went up during the pandemic, WellCore was able to stick to the original estimate pretty well. Overall we were quite pleased with how the project turned out.
