Client Experiences
Great organization who really invests in their clients and participates as a member of a team! Can’t say enough about the work they do, the responsiveness, and the service provided. Top notch in my book! Even participates in our leadership retreat and celebrates with us the beginning of our year! Thank you Control Service Company.
Jim Poplau, Assistant Principal at PHMS
John Crownhart was incredibly responsive and produced outstanding work, and his entire team exhibited just as much confidence and professionalism. I really didn’t think the museum would be able to save that much energy, but once we began using the environmental index tool effectively, we saw some incredible results. Ultimately, the art was the customer and the right control systems are critical for preserving it. For me personally, I was so impressed with Control Service Company I took a job there!
