About Us

While a new franchise, this business is independently owned and operated by locals Robert and Chelsey Pegram. Former high school sweethearts, these two have grown into partners in business and life. They are highly involved in their community and make a point to teach their four children the importance of giving back to the community that supports you and your business. The Pegram crew can be spotted every Sunday at their local church, Waters Edge Church in Yorktown, where they volunteer regularly backstage on the production team. The entire Pegram crew is big on swimming and can be seen at some body of water during the summer months. The kids swim on the local swim team where Robert and Chelsey volunteer their time to help support and raise up the swim team and community pool in Newport News. Robert has a passion for business and has run some sort of endeavor since the age of 12, he hopes to be able to build a legacy his children will want to be a part of for years to come. Chelsey has previously owned one business prior to Fibrenew, and fell in love with being able to work with Robert as a team. With their previous business Robert and Chelsey realized that they were working for the business, not on it, and were not spending time together as a family. Fibrenew offered a way to work together, with flexibility to be a family, as well as fill a need within the community. With Fibrenew Robert and Chelsey can work as a team and reflect both their strengths in the business; Robert is an expert with tools and expert creative problem solving skills, while Chelsey has an eye for details and enjoys the creative work and artistic side of the business. Both are excited to build this business with the help of their customers and community and look forward to the years ahead!

Chelsey Pegram

As a transplant to the Peninsula Chelsey loves Hampton Roads and the people within it. After going to school in Newport News at Christopher Newport University and getting her degree in Business Management, Chelsey fell in love with running a business. She is so proud to be able to be a part of the Fibrenew family and build something that she and her family can be proud of. Like Robert, Chelsey greatly values educating and being transparent with her clients on all projects. A lifelong artist, Chelsey is the color expert and can talk for hours about the artistic side of the business from furniture to automotive; she finds it all interesting and fun! While not near as outgoing as her partner, Chelsey is quick to help and will talk about all your projects and endeavors with you!
