Veteran owned and operated with over a decade of experience in the demolition and environmental services.
"The 1964 bulkhead I had out back was replaced a year ago, but the wood and insulation underneath (the ceiling of the walkway underground to my basement under the back living room) took in water damage and the area was very musty for years. Tom Morneault of Morneault Environmental was the only guy I could find that would not only treat the wood to remove anything growing on it/get rid of the smell, but his team also removed old wood and insulation and re-insulated for me as part of the deal, which was still hundreds of dollars cheaper than the other companies I talked to, which would only remove the old wood and insulation, they don't put anything back in. Tom's team was here by 8:30 this morning and by 2pm they were done and it looks fantastic and smells crisp and clean. They didn't even stop for breaks or have to make any trips to get supplies, they had them all in the van, including the insulation boards. Very highly recommended if anyone is in the same situation."

"Complete SCUMBAGS...Worked for months on design and install on new construction home...nothing ever goes according to plan. Once I had line of sight on project completion, I went back to schedule the job and these aholes Ray Varela and Bob Guarino jacked up my price by 5K (within 90 days). This was after several attempts to bait and switch on several quotes...adding here, removing there...trying to inflate the price decrease the scope. I have several quotes documented and will provide evidence to anyone who asks to prove my point...of course these scumbags will dispute my story...but I own the facts. Too many contractor options avail...STAY AWAY FROM SSG!!"

"My biggest experience with them was a couple years ago for re-upholstery work on an antique piece, which turned out beautifully and was the reason I hired them again. It still looks great to this day and I can't say enough good things about him."

Providing excellent customer service and a quality end product. We continually strive to maintain a synergy of excellence and experience that is second to none. Passion for quality drives everything we do.
"Avoid this company at all costs! . Paul Davis came recommended to me by my plumber so I hired them for to do restoration work for water damage my home sustained. For starters, It took them almost 5 months to get me an accurate estimate. They needed to have people come to my home 5x to assess the damage because the right hand does not talk to the left with this company. I was given excuse after excuse as to why they couldn't give me an estimate. Eventually after many months of excuses (family emergency, weather conditions, the flu went around the office etc etc...), they finally provided me with an accurate estimate whereupon I signed an electronic contract for the work to be completed. Two days later I emailed them to say I needed to postpone the work for a few days because I was having unexpected house guests that coming during the holidays. I was told that would be no problem. When I tried to reschedule, I was ignored for a week. I continued to inquire about rescheduling my job and I was told to take me business elsewhere! So I have now invested 6 months of time having person after person come through my home to look at the damage and they will not do the work, even after I signed a contract. There customer service is terrible and they do not value your business. Save yourself precious time and go with any other company. I wish I had"

FAQs for dry rot, water or pest damage major repair projects in Dover, NH
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.
