We constructed our new home with Wellcore a few years back, now that the family is growing we're looking to build again a little further out. When we were deciding to build our first home with them there were a lot of considerations that went into trying to find the right builder we could trust and felt comfortable with after hearing a ton of horror stories from people around. We went into the design stages having no clue what we wanted or needed. Working with Nat is amazing. She helped guide us through the drawings and the permitting process. She got the project approved and they started the demolition right away. Wellcore had us pick out our finishes and managed to keep us more or less on budget. The budget they provided us was insanely detailed and made it easy to follow along. As any build goes there were some hiccups along the way, nothing that wasn't managed or corrected. We made some compromises on some hvac bulkheads that I wasn't too crazy about but after living in the home I cant even remember what my issue was with them in the first place. Im glad we went with some kitchen upgrades, they really made a difference in the long run. The team overall was great, the contractors as well as the trades were always friendly and clean, the house has no issues since we moved in so as far as construction goes it went as well as it could be. Over all we are very satisficed with how the home turned out, so satisficed we want to do it again with them.
We contracted Wellcore to transform our bungalow to a modern 2 storey house. Scope of work was clearly defined from design, budget, permit to finalized build. Major build milestones with cost and timing were presented but the pandemic created significant delays in permits and materials. Alex's team navigated the challenging environment The design process gave us several options that we did not even consider. We got a better home than what we envisioned. All build and design options were clearly explained relative to cost and timing - no surprises. Anna was excellent to work with and was very familiar with finishing options. There are always going to be issues in the building of any project. As a homeowner you need to be completely engaged in every step of the design and build. Alex was always available and proactive in addressing any deficiencies. Would recommend Wellcore team to anyone considering any renovation.
In May 2020 We hired WellCore to renovate 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.
We hired Wellcore to turn our old tiny bungalow into our dream home. Alex and his team helped us through the entire process from start to finish. We kept only 3 walls of the existing house and ended up with a 2 story home and an addition at the back. We are so thrilled with the results and love our new home. Wellcore completed the work on time and on budget. We had weather issues that delayed the project in the beginning but the team at Wellcore was able to make up the lost time and complete the project on schedule.
They were good at communicating with us through-out the process and Alex was always available for any questions we had.
Designing and renovating a complete home can cause stress and hardship on a family. Wellcore made the entire process very smooth. Even when there were some issues, Alex always had options for us and provided solutions.
Our house had many challenges during the renovation. The house is located very close to our neighbours houses and Wellcore was respectful of our neighbours and tried to minimize the impact on them during the construction.
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.
Hi Andrew, thank you for the kind words in appreciation of our work. Absolutely, we enjoyed working for you, and we consider your project to be one of Wellcore most successful second story additions in 2019. May your new home bring happiness year after year.
I couldn’t be happier with professionalism and resourcefulness of Alex’s 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 get 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 this seemingly impossible to happen!
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.
Alex and the Wellcore team were professional, courteous, honest and responsive. They helped guide us through an arduous permitting and construction process which helped us turn our two bedroom post-war bungalow into a spacious, three story, five bed, 4.5 bathroom dream home. Like all renovation projects, we ran into challenges, but none were too challenging for this experienced team. A special thanks to Nat, Vince and Eugene. Well planned, well timed and well built, I would recommend Wellcore to anyone with home renovating needs.
We engaged WellCore Corporation for building a new house in Etobicoke. We interviewed many builders prior the start of project and WellCore was the most transparent and opened in the initial estimate allowing us as owners to have an influence in all phases of the project and in choosing all house finishes. During the project we were amazed with their patience regarding some neighbours that constantly harassed the crew during the building process. We as owners learned that building in our part of Etobicoke could be very challenging with hostile neighbours resisting any changes and city bureaucracy and their inspectors that are unreasonably picky in this part of the city. Honestly we really admired WellCore's professionalism dealing with many unreasonable requests from the city that were not based on written standards. Overall they provided excellent service and we are happy we went through this endeavour with them. We cordially recommend them for any major projects - new houses or major renovations.
The service provided by WellCore was very professional. Very honest people.
I only have good things and only good things to say about the staff and the services provided by WellCore.
I strongly recommend.
