D&R Environmental Services, LLC

D&R Environmental Services works the hazardous end of construction — asbestos abatement, mold remediation and selective demolition — out of Leominster, for homeowners, contractors, property managers and insurers across Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire. The company says brothers Pedro and Jose Dipre-Rojas founded it, that both serve as presidents, and that they came up through demolition and environmental work as field crew before moving into supervision, with more than 15 years between them. The loudest thing said publicly about the company is regulatory. In July 2025 MassDEP announced a $46,980 penalty against D&R for violations found during an asbestos removal project at a private residence in Harvard, and a national violation tracker logs the same $46,980 Massachusetts action from June 2025 as an asbestos violation. That is a state environmental agency faulting the exact work a homeowner would hire this company to do, in a home. One credential here is independently confirmed rather than claimed: the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office registry shows an active Minority Business Enterprise certification, number 20250549, running through January 2029. The rest of the list on the company's own site — asbestos contractor licensing in Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire, lead-safe renovation, a home improvement contractor registration, OSHA-trained personnel, DOT registration — are the company's own statements about itself, not registry confirmations, so ask to see the current certificates. If you are weighing D&R for abatement work, go into the conversation with the 2025 penalty in hand. Ask what the Harvard job's violations were, what changed afterward in containment, notification and air monitoring, and ask for dated copies of the state asbestos licences before any work starts.
