Is it permissible to hunt doves that live under the roof of a house, damage the place, and then sell them?

If the pigeons are wild and have no owner, then it is permissible to hunt them, sell them, or eat them, because they are lawful game. However, if they are owned by someone, then this is not permissible. If they are causing you harm, inform their owner so that he may deal with them.
