Welcome to Chelsea Home Remodeling, Inc. A family owned and operated business since 1985, having 30 years of diverse experience, dedicated solely to residential home remodeling. The company was incorporated in 1986 by Dominick and Cynthia Mupo and sons, Michael and Louis. The philosophy of professional service combined with quality craftsmanship has proven to be the catalyst for our success. A key ingredient in the success of the projects undertaken is employment of a staff of diversified professionals. Almost all the construction activities are performed and coordinated by our full time staff. The company's original area of specialization, Custom Baths and Kitchens, have expanded over the years to include medium to large home renovations. An extended portfolio is available with qualified referrals upon request. Must have your own plans available for work to be completed.
"I was referred to Chelsea Home Remodeling by the owner of Marcor Roofing who previously did an excellent job on my roofing project. I was looking for a reliable contracting company to do a major interior renovation project including a full gut out demolition and rebuild of an existing extension that I knew required extensive corrections and repair. Chelsea is a family owned and operated business and they were exceptional right from the start. Dominick Mupo and his son Louis came to perform the initial inspection and to discuss my project. Dominick provided a very detailed estimate in writing, which he reviewed with me line by line in person with full transparency. They may not be the least expensive but I got what I paid for; they did a superior job from big to fine details from start to finish. Working with Dominick, Louis, Michael, Manny and Carlos was an absolute pleasure. They kept to the timeline, showed up as planned and on time, were pleasant and cooperative, cleaned up at the end of each and every day, respectfully cared for my home and property and were ever patient with my many questions and concerns every step of the way. They were consistently open to discussion regarding the problems found from the original construction, and with my participation in the process. They made the whole project as stress free as possible and consistently went above and beyond. I never doubted that my home and project was as important to them as their own homes would be. Their expertise with problem solving, knowledge of code and the correct way to do things, with acute attention to detail, was exceptional. Their referrals for floor refinishing and painting were also excellent. I am beyond pleased with the final results and could not have asked for a better contracting company. I will be using them for all my planned home remodeling projects and highly recommend them without reservation."

You should replace floor joists as soon as you see clear signs of structural trouble—sagging floors, wide wall cracks, uneven door frames, wet or rotting wood, persistent squeaks, or windows that no longer latch. Tilted or sinking supports in the crawl space are another red flag. If you notice any of these signs, call a pro right away to keep your home’s structure safe.
If the joists are exposed from below, a pro can swap them out without touching the finished floor above. In an unfinished basement or crawl space, you’ll often see the joists and can easily reach them. When insulation, subflooring, or finished flooring blocks access, the crew must remove these materials before repairs can begin.
Sistering allows a pro to reinforce a cracked or undersized joist without tearing up the entire floor. The contractor slowly raises the frame, then fastens a new joist snugly against the damaged one to share the load. When done correctly, sistering restores full structural strength and keeps the floor level without the cost of a complete replacement.
Floor joists installed correctly in a stable environment can last for 100 years or more, often outlasting the house itself. However, termite damage, moisture, leaks, and other problems can significantly reduce a floor's lifespan. For instance, if the floor is exposed to consistent moisture, you'll likely need to replace the joists every 20 to 30 years.
Homeowners' insurance covers floor joist damage resulting from sudden and accidental events, such as fire, windstorm, or water damage from a burst pipe. It will not cover repairs resulting from gradual deterioration, poor maintenance, or termite infestations. Review your insurance policy and consult your provider to verify the conditions that guarantee full coverage. Doing so ensures you are fully aware of your responsibilities and can plan your repair work with complete confidence.
Floor joists are essential structural components that provide a stable foundation for your home. They directly transfer the weight of floors, furniture, and occupants to the foundation, ensuring stability and a safe living environment. Without these robust beams, the structure would face compromised load distribution, leading to potential safety hazards and costly repairs. Proper installation and maintenance are crucial for long-term durability and safety.
