What this listing says
Idaho Falls homeowners dealing with mold alongside asbestos or lead hazards in pre-1980s homes, where one company handling all environmental contaminants simplifies the project.
Best for
- Idaho Falls and Southeast Idaho homeowners who need mold testing and removal from a company that also handles asbestos and lead in the same project.
- Owners of pre-1980s homes in Rexburg, Rigby, Blackfoot, or Pocatello who suspect multiple environmental hazards and want a single contractor.
- People with mold-related allergies or chemical sensitivities who want a company that markets specifically to that concern.
About this company
Eco Shield Restorations is an owner-operated environmental restoration company based in Idaho Falls, run by Chris Capron. Mold is one of several hazards they handle -- asbestos, lead, and radon round out their service list, along with water, fire, and storm damage restoration. They position themselves as a multi-hazard shop: one crew handles testing and removal for mold, asbestos, and lead, so you do not need to coordinate separate contractors.
What stands out is the breadth of environmental hazards under one roof and a specific focus on allergy and chemical sensitivity cases. Their website highlights a dedicated mold-and-allergy-sensitivity service, and one reviewer specifically called out Chris's approach for people with mold allergies. They also use Lumetallix lead dust detection technology, which lets them visually confirm dust has been cleaned. The team includes an office manager (Autumn), four technicians (Dennis, Brad, Braxton, Jason), and Chris himself. They hold an EPA Lead-Safe Firm designation.

Review consensus
Chris Capron is named by at least eight reviewers. Consistent themes: trustworthiness, strong communication over multi-week projects, attention to detail, and willingness to work around scheduling constraints. Autumn gets a specific mention for doing a great job in a support role. Multiple reviewers highlight the company's punctuality and follow-through. Several experienced Local Guide reviewers (Tyler Fackrell with 97 reviews, Dustin Harris with 45, Bryan Magleby with 131) give strong endorsements, adding weight to the positive signal.
0 found across 21 total reviews at 4.8★. No negative reviews found in the last 18 months. With 21 total reviews at 4.8 stars, there is no complaint data to analyze.
The review base skews toward asbestos and lead work rather than mold specifically. Only two reviewers (Tory Johnson, Whitney Stewart) mention mold by name. Most praise references asbestos abatement or general restoration. This makes it harder to assess mold-specific performance from reviews alone.
Chris Capron (owner -- praised for communication, trustworthiness, knowledge, and attention to detail across 8+ reviews). Autumn (office manager -- praised for doing a great job by Tyler Price).
Ask for Chris directly -- he is clearly the face of the operation and the person reviewers trust. Because the review base is thin on mold-specific feedback, ask for references from past mold clients. Get a written scope of work before signing, and consider an independent mold test to verify findings given the testing-and-remediation conflict.
Keep in mind
- Eco Shield does both mold testing and mold removal. That creates a conflict of interest: the company identifying the problem also profits from fixing it. Ask whether they will accept a third-party test or recommend an independent inspector.
- With only 21 Google reviews and zero negatives on record, you have limited data on how this company handles problems. A small review count makes the 4.8 rating less predictive than the same rating on 100+ reviews.
- Their service area claims stretch from Idaho Falls to Jackson, WY, West Yellowstone, Montpelier, and American Falls. That covers a wide geographic range from a single office -- confirm response times and travel charges for locations far from Idaho Falls.
- One 5-star review (Gabriella Capron) is from the owner's daughter. Another reviewer (Drew Mortensen) posted twice. Both inflate the effective review count slightly.
