River mills, student rentals, summer turnover windows
Mold, Water Damage & Painting in Newmarket, NH
Newmarket sits on the Lamprey, minutes from our shop and next door to Durham. Between the converted mill buildings downtown and the rental stock serving UNH, it is a town where moisture problems and tight turnover schedules show up together.
What we see in Newmarket buildings
The Newmarket mills share Dover's physics — dense masonry against a tidal river, apartments carved into spaces that were never residential, and humidity that does not clear on its own. The rental housing around town turns over almost entirely in a few summer weeks, which compresses painting, deep cleaning, and air treatment into a window that does not move. Units that sat closed up through August are also where we most often find the musty smell that turns out to be a slow leak nobody reported.
What we do in Newmarket
Turnover Painting
Full unit repaints between tenants, scheduled to fit the summer changeover — prep, paint, cleanup, move-in ready.

Post-tenancy deep cleans with HEPA air scrubbing, so the next tenant walks into a unit that smells clean rather than covered up.

River humidity plus a closed-up summer unit is the common cause here. We trace the moisture, remediate, and document the result.

Turnover air treatment with before-and-after readings — useful when a previous tenant left odors behind.

Can you turn a rental around between tenants?
Yes, that is a large part of our Newmarket work. Paint, deep clean, and air treatment can be sequenced into a single changeover window if we know the dates in advance.
The unit smells musty but I cannot see mold. What now?
Odor without visible growth usually means moisture somewhere you cannot see — behind a wall, under a floor, or in a crawlspace. We use moisture meters and thermal imaging to locate it rather than masking the smell, because deodorizing over an active moisture source only lasts a few weeks.
