"Supreme Air was great! Tom was patient with our admittedly amateur theories about just what was going wrong and he confidently came up with a plan of action that turned out to be less expensive (and less intrusive) than the other bid we had sought. Ours was an unusual situation (really, nothing in this house is connected the way you think it should be), but he pulled it off. I will definitely be recommending them to friends and neighbors."

"The team removing the old windows did a very good job of not damaging anything around them and the new windows were installed perfectly. There was a sizing issue from the manufacturer, but it was quickly resolved and I’m very satisfied with the level of communication from the contractor. The install team also was very respectful towards me and my time, and also the animals in the house, making sure the dust would not be an issue for them. I would definitely recommend."

Fire, Water, Smoke, Soot, Disaster clean up and repair. Residential or Commercial
"In a word: Terribly. In 2017 my condo in Rockport Texas was destroyed my hurricane Harvey. The Key Allegro Condominium Association hired Road Runner Restoration to rebuild the condos. This company claims to have done work for companies like Exxon! Last year, Road Runner told me to take a cash out. Meredith my project superintendent, who works for RR, told me that a Cash out would be in my best interest because Road Runner would not finish anytime in the foreseeable future. And that was 4 years after Harvey! . Here is my signed payout contract from Road Runner. Rachel, the CEO of Road Runner agreed to pay me a final pay out amount of 25k by January 31st, so I could finish the project on my own. They did not send it to me. I called Meredith. She promised I could pick it up or have it overnighted to me by today or tomorrow. Today I talked to Road Runner’s new CFO, Mike Howell, who refused to honor the signed agreement. These people are the scum of the earth. After all the taxes, insurance, special assessments and HOA fees that I have paid (about $50,000), I am now paying a contractor out of my own pocket to finish this job. I paid for hazard/hurricane insurance; the HOA gave my insurance proceeds to RR. Road Runner then refused to finish my condo and signed a contract to reimburse me with it the insurance proceeds but are now choosing to keep my insurance money in violation of that contract and make me pay for the repairs out of pocket. Mike complained about cash flow and his lack of profit on this project. That is all Road Runners fault because they continually screwed up and had to do things over! They sheet rocked my place before finishing the framing, they did not use sheet rock screws, so the Sheetrock started detaching from the studs, they had pipes leak after they sheet rocked on other units, requiring a re do, they framed a flat ceiling in my unit instead of a vaulted ceiling as per the specs, requiring a re-do. Somehow, they got the electrical got so screwed up that when I pulled my light plug, all the rest of the plugs in the room turned off. It took an electrician 3 trips to fix it because when I explained the issue in detail to my Superintendent, she said TMI mister Whelan! I also drove 200 miles to meet with her only to have her ask why I was there. I then spent an hour walking through my unit and pointed out issues. She didn’t write down a single note! They managed to run 125 a/c volts through 5-volt dc usb plugs that I had installed which nearly killed me! They punched out the wrong plug in the wall drain which would have caused my washer to have drained between the walls instead of into the drainpipe. They left a 4-inch gap between my cabinets and ceiling on one side while making them flush on the other, they didn’t install ceiling studs required to properly install sheet rock thought I pointed out the issue prior to the sheet rocking, they tore out a shower that we all agreed to preserve. When I asked why they said they had to because of mold issues. A year later I asked what steps they took to remediate the mold and they said there was no mold, and the list goes on and on. Never hire this company. This post will be sent to the BBB as well."

FAQs for dry rot, water or pest damage major repair projects in Alvin, TX
Look for wood that appears darker than the surrounding materials, feels spongy when pressed, or crumbles easily when touched. Dry rot often creates a distinctive cube-like cracking pattern and may have a musty, fungal odor. In advanced cases, you might notice white or gray fungal growth resembling cotton or mushroom-like structures.
Regular inspections of basements, crawlspaces, and areas around plumbing fixtures help catch problems early before they cause significant structural damage.
Most standard homeowners' policies exclude dry rot repair coverage because insurers classify it as preventable maintenance rather than sudden, accidental damage. Your policy often covers water damage from specific incidents like burst pipes, but the resulting dry rot remediation often falls outside coverage parameters. Some policies offer limited coverage if the rot directly results from a covered peril, but this varies by insurer.
Always review your specific policy details and consult with your insurance representative about your particular situation.
The timeline varies considerably based on damage extent and location. Minor repairs to window frames or trim might take only one to two days from start to finish. More substantial structural repairs involving floor joists, support beams, or foundation elements require one to two weeks or longer.
The process includes assessment, demolition, treatment, reconstruction, and finishing work. Weather conditions, material availability, and the need for specialized contractors all influence the overall timeline for project completion.
Yes, untreated dry rot will continue to spread throughout wooden structures in your home. The fungus can extend through wood and even across some masonry surfaces via fungal strands called mycelium. Under favorable conditions (moisture and moderate temperatures), dry rot can advance rapidly, compromising structural integrity across multiple areas.
The fungus produces airborne spores that establish new colonies wherever they find suitable conditions, making prompt treatment essential to prevent widespread damage and much costlier repairs.
