Steven WorkerLocal Guide · 17 reviewsiTotal number of Google reviews Steven has written across all businesses on Google Maps, not just this one.
I had a positive experience with Crown & Shield Pest Solutions. The initial inspection identified drywood termites on the exterior and extending into our garage, and the treatment was scheduled as a localized termite treatment.
When Brandin arrived to do the work, he discovered additional termite damage in the shear plywood inside the garage. Brandin was friendly, professional, and very easy to work with. Rather than just treating what had originally been identified, he took the time to explain what he found and agreed to do the additional work for a relatively small added cost, including removing the affected plywood and replacing the damaged wood.
The job turned out to be substantially more work than originally anticipated, and Brandin came back the next day to finish everything properly rather than rushing through it. He also reconnected our washer and dryer and put the washout sink area back together afterward, which was very helpful and something I did not expect him to do.
The overall cost was significant, but home repair and skilled labor are expensive these days, and I felt we received thorough, professional service for the money. Most importantly, I appreciated Brandin’s willingness to address the additional problem he found instead of doing only the minimum originally scoped. I would definitely recommend Crown & Shield, and particularly Brandin, based on our experience.

Steven, thank you for taking the time to write this detailed review. We really appreciate you sharing the specifics of your experience. Brandin discovered that scope during the inspection and communicated clearly about what needed to happen, which is exactly the kind of thorough, honest work we stand behind. His willingness to come back the next day and make sure everything was done right, plus those extra touches like reconnecting your washer and dryer, speaks to the standard we hold ourselves to at Crown & Shield. We're grateful for your loyalty and look forward to your next visit.

I started with an ant and suspected termite issue. Chris got rid of the ants and sent Brandin to eliminate the termites. After discussing the process for dealing with the termites, I contracted with Crown and Shield to have Brandin remodel my bathroom where the termites were. Thankfully the termite damage was minimal and I have a beautiful new bathroom. Brandin did an exceptional job on the remodel adding all the things we requested. All his work is clean, precise and well planned. His tile work is phenomenal!

We're happy you had such a positive experience with us, Karen. Sophia really does know her stuff, and we're glad she was able to point you in the right direction right away. Our technician Victor brought that same attention to detail to your home, and we love hearing that he was thorough with the inspection and spotted those potential wildlife entry points under your decks. That's exactly the kind of preventive thinking we want our team to bring to every visit. We appreciate your business and look forward to your next appointment.
