General Contracting in Chelsea, MA

At $476,500, the typical Chelsea home runs about 17% below the median of the 143 towns we serve. We quote accordingly — durable mid-grade products that hold up through New England winters without pricing the job past what the house calls for.

The median Chelsea home was built in 1938, and 70% of the town's housing predates 1980. Most jobs here involve a home old enough to fall under the EPA's pre-1978 lead rule. We are a Lead-Safe certified firm, so containment and HEPA cleanup are standard on any surface we sand or scrape — not a line item added later.

44% of Chelsea's housing sits in two- to four-unit buildings — the two- and three-deckers this part of Massachusetts is built from. That work means staging off porches and back stairs, coordinating with more than one household, and prepping clapboard that has been repainted many times over. At 29% owner-occupied, a real share of Chelsea property is tenanted, so we are used to landlord timelines, turnover windows, and quoting work that has to last between tenants.

Chelsea has 4 properties on the National Register of Historic Places — among them Bellingham-Cary House and Chelsea Garden Cemetery. Towns with listed buildings tend to have the older stock around them too, which is where careful prep and lead-safe practice earn their keep.

We work out of Hudson, 27.4 miles away, and regularly in neighboring Everett, Malden, Revere — so a crew is usually already in the area rather than traveling in for a single job.
