MEET OUR TEAM

Corey, Owner and President of CORE Remodeling Services, Inc., brings more than 25 years of experience in corporate sales, management, and customer service, along with hands-on training as a lead carpenter for a custom home builder in New Hampshire.

After his daughter was born in 2002, Corey’s priorities began to shift. What once centered around travel and the next promotion became more about being present for school plays, softball games, basketball games, and family life. With a desire to build something meaningful and follow a long-standing dream, he began developing the business plan for CORE Remodeling Services, Inc.

Knowing the remodeling industry has not always had the best reputation, Corey’s vision was to create a company built on professionalism, clear communication, quality workmanship, and strong CORE values. Today, that vision continues to guide the company’s disciplined design-build approach and commitment to doing what we say we will do.
