Serving Everett, MA and surrounding areas. (857) 363-5116
Everett Concrete Company is a licensed concrete contractor in Chelsea, MA - serving the city's triple-deckers, two-family homes, and multi-unit buildings with patio construction, driveway replacement, concrete steps, and foundation work. We respond within 1 business day and provide free written estimates before any work starts.
Outdoor space is limited in Chelsea - lots are small and buildings sit close together. A properly poured concrete patio makes the most of a tight backyard or side yard, giving you a durable outdoor surface that holds up through New England winters without heaving. Learn more about our concrete patio construction service and what the process looks like.
Chelsea's triple-deckers have front and rear entry steps used by multiple households every day. When those steps crack or settle, they become a safety risk. We rebuild them to the correct dimensions with a finish that handles road salt and ice without breaking down.
Many Chelsea driveways are narrow, shared, or access properties from alleys behind the building. We assess the access situation before we quote so the logistics of the pour are worked out before the truck arrives - not on the day of the job.
Much of Chelsea's housing was built before 1940, and foundations in these older buildings were poured without modern drainage, waterproofing, or code requirements. We install new foundations that meet current standards and hold up against the frost depth and soil conditions in this part of the metro.
Chelsea sidewalks see heavy foot traffic in a very dense city. Property owners are responsible for maintaining the sidewalk in front of their building, and a cracked or heaved slab is a liability. We pour sidewalks to city standards and handle the permit process with the city.
Grade changes between tight Chelsea properties - especially near the city's hillside streets - push soil toward neighboring buildings and foundations over time. A concrete retaining wall holds that material in place and protects your structure from chronic moisture and lateral pressure.
Chelsea is one of the most densely populated cities in Massachusetts - about 45,000 people in just 2.2 square miles. The housing stock is predominantly triple-deckers and multi-family buildings, most of them built before World War II. Those buildings have been through decades of freeze-thaw cycles, and a lot of the original concrete - front steps, rear walkways, narrow driveways - is cracked, settled, or missing pieces. Patching helps temporarily, but when the base has shifted and the slab has lost its support, replacement is the only fix that holds.
Chelsea also sits along Chelsea Creek and the Mystic River, and parts of the city are in FEMA-designated flood zones. Low-lying areas near the waterfront experience drainage problems that create chronic moisture pressure on foundations and basement slabs. The city has been actively working on climate resilience planning through the Chelsea climate resilience program in recognition of these flooding risks. A concrete contractor working in Chelsea needs to understand drainage and grading well, especially on properties near flood-prone areas, because a slab or driveway graded toward the building rather than away from it makes a bad drainage situation worse.
Our crew works throughout Chelsea regularly, and we understand what it takes to run a concrete job in one of the tightest urban environments in the Greater Boston area. Properties here sit just feet apart, streets are narrow, and parking for trucks and equipment requires advance coordination. We plan every Chelsea job with those constraints in mind so we are not improvising on the day of the pour.
Chelsea is a compact city, but it has distinct sections with different property characters. The area around Bellingham Square - the intersection of Broadway and Washington Avenue - is the city's main commercial center, with older mixed-use buildings and dense residential streets nearby. The waterfront along Chelsea Creek is seeing significant new construction and redevelopment. The hillside streets above Broadway have older single-family and triple-decker homes on steeper grades. We have worked on properties in all parts of the city and know how the terrain and building type change from one block to the next.
We also serve the communities directly surrounding Chelsea. Homeowners in Revere, MA to the north and Everett, MA just across the city line often need the same type of work on the same type of older housing stock - we bring the same approach to all three cities.
Reach us by phone or through the contact form and we will get back to you within 1 business day. Tell us what you need and your property address - that is all we need to plan the site visit.
We come to the property, assess access, scope, and site conditions, and provide a written estimate. Chelsea jobs frequently involve access challenges and permit fees - we include all of that in the quote so the price you see is the price you pay.
We submit permit applications and manage the city inspection process on your behalf. You do not need to visit any city office - we handle the paperwork and schedule the work once the permit is approved.
We finish the pour, walk through the work with you, and clean the site before we leave. We give you clear instructions on the curing window - typically three to seven days for foot traffic, longer for vehicles - so you know exactly when the surface is ready to use.

(857) 363-5116Chelsea is a small but dense city of about 45,000 residents in just 2.2 square miles - making it one of the most densely populated places in Massachusetts. It borders Boston to the south and east, separated by Chelsea Creek and the Mystic River, and is connected to East Boston and downtown Boston by the MBTA Blue Line. The city's main commercial center is Bellingham Square at Broadway and Washington Avenue, where most residents go for shopping and daily errands. Chelsea has undergone significant reinvestment and new construction over the past two decades, particularly near the waterfront along Chelsea Creek, where older industrial sites have been redeveloped into housing and mixed-use buildings. More background on the city is available on the Chelsea, Massachusetts Wikipedia article.
The housing stock here tells the full story of the city's history - triple-deckers from the 1890s through the 1920s sitting on the same block as brand-new four-story apartment buildings. Most of the older homes have never had their foundations, front steps, or driveways replaced, and the years of deferred maintenance are visible across many properties. Chelsea is a city where property owners who do invest in their buildings tend to stick with contractors they trust. We serve the full city, from the hillside streets above Broadway to the low-lying blocks near Chelsea Creek. Neighboring Revere, MA and Everett, MA are also part of our regular service area.
