We were
the customer first.

In 2014, two Moncton property owners built the company they wished they could call.

How one bathroom repair started a company.

Before we fixed anyone else’s property, we were stuck managing our own. CORE didn’t start with a business plan. It started with a repair that should have taken an afternoon.

Before CORE, Tony LeBlanc and Stephen Dunnett were property owners with a growing portfolio of rental units across Greater Moncton. Like every owner, they were drowning in contractors.

A plumber for the leak. An electrician for the panel. A handyman for everything in between. Every trade had its own schedule, its own pricing and no contact with the others. When one job caused a problem for the next, there was no one to call.

The turning point was ordinary. It was a Tuesday afternoon when a simple bathroom repair turned into a three-week coordination mess: four different contractors, two missed appointments and a bill that looked nothing like the original quote.

“There has to be a better way to do this.”

2014In 2014 they started CORE Property Care with snow removal and landscaping. In 2016 the in-house maintenance crew from their property management company moved into CORE and opened to the public. Word spread, the team grew and the divisions followed.

TodayCORE is six specialised divisions, one point of contact and a team of more than 40 people who show up like they own the place. Because in a way, they do.

How we grew from there.

    A new brand and a new website.

What we promise you on every job.

Six trades is a lot to keep track of, so every one of them is held to the same three promises. Here they are, next to what clients told us after we finished.

  1. We show up on time.

    We book specific windows, not vague half-days, and we call ahead if anything changes. Reliability is the baseline, not a bonus.

    “First contractor I’ve ever had who actually showed up when they said they would. And they called ahead.”

    Mike T.Riverview

  2. We quote up front.

    You get a clear written quote before any work begins. No hidden fees, and no added scope without your approval. What we quote is what you pay.

    “The quote was exactly what I paid. That’s never happened to me before with a contractor.”

    Sandra L.Moncton

  3. We treat your home like our own.

    Our technicians are background-checked, trained and held to the standard we would want in our own homes. We protect your floors, clean up after ourselves and take the work seriously.

    “They left the place cleaner than when they arrived. I didn’t have to do a thing after they left.”

    David R.Dieppe

Meet the people behind those promises.

Promises only count if someone owns them. Here are the two co-founders who were once the customer, and the three leaders who run the operations, the finances and the technology behind it.

    Tony co-founded CORE in 2014 after years of managing his own rental properties and coordinating trade after trade himself. He leads the company’s vision and long-term strategy.

    Steven leads growth, partnerships and client relationships. He built CORE PRO and is leading CORE into new service areas.

  • Jonathan Brewer

    Chief Operating Officer

    Jonathan manages field operations and technician scheduling across Moncton, Dieppe and Riverview. He brings hands-on experience in residential and commercial maintenance.
