Choosing a Water Damage Restoration Company

Zack Klein • Sep 14, 2022

When water has ravaged your home or business, it leaves behind far more than damaged property. It also leaves anxiety and a sense of urgency. In addition to the loss of important and precious items, questions regarding the extent of the damage, insurance coverage, and timeline to recovery all begin to swirl. Under such circumstances, it is easy to feel overwhelmed and alone, but the partnership of an experienced water damage restoration company can help immensely.


Important Factors for Selecting a Water Damage Restoration Company


While the aid of a restoration company is an urgent necessity in the event of severe water damage, it is also important to make your selection wisely. Time may not be on your side, but there are a few factors you can quickly and easily verify to ensure the quality and reliability of your selected restoration partner.


  1. Experience – It’s nice to support start-up businesses, but when it comes to restoration of your home or business, you’ll want a company with a proven track record of expertise. By working with an established restoration company with skilled contractors, you can ensure that the work being done on your property is thorough, sound, and up to the test of time.
  2. Licensed, Bonded & Insured – When anyone is performing work on your property, you will want to ensure they are covered in the event of any mishaps and that you will not be held liable as the property owner. A reputable water damage restoration company will be fully licensed, bonded, and insured, so that their team can operate legally and safely.
  3. Training & Certification – As with most industries, property restoration requires ongoing certification and training so that providers can continue to provide the most up-to-date services that are in line with their industry’s standards. Ask any companies you consider about the training of their team and confirm any certifications through the organization from which they were obtained.
  4. Reviews – Previous clients often provide the greatest and most reliable insight into a company, their reliability, experience, and professionalism. Fortunately, in today’s world, finding these previous clients is as quick as a Google search. Look up any online reviews you can find and consider both the good and the bad to make a fully informed decision.

Every time I write the May Meet the Team feature, my first instinct is to start it with “It’s gonna be MAY!” Must be the millennial in me to want to begin it with the iconic *NSYNC track. I digress. We are back with this month’s featured employee, Jordan Steib, who serves as the Marketing Manager of GRS. Jordan was born and raised in the South Louisiana city of Thibodaux. After graduating from high school, he attended Nicholls State University before joining the workforce. He was a Lead Administrative Assistant at the Terrebonne ARC for a decade. When he moved to Baton Rouge in 2017, he served in a few administrative and office management positions before joining our GRS team in December 2019. Since arriving at Guarantee Restoration Services, Jordan as served as administrative support for the Business Development and Marketing department and as an Executive Assistant to our CEO, Shawn Folks. In July 2022, he was promoted to Marketing Manager, where he has thrived in planning and filming most of our video content. During his tenure, he has also hired a marketing assistant, which has vastly improved the department’s functionality and capabilities. He has been instrumental in building and expanding our brand awareness. We have also increased the support we can provide our fellow GRS team members. In addition, we have steadily cultivated a better sense of teamwork and community through our company culture engagement activities, such as National Cocoa Day and “Pumpkins and Pies.” Personally, he is the second born of three sons to his parents, Martha and Damian. He is the proud cat father of Bridgette Anne Steib, who turns 3 years old this month. In his spare time, he has recently taken up home wine making and has really enjoyed the (literal) fruits of his labor. He has made wine with strawberries, blackberries, blueberries, cherries and raspberries. His hobbies also include camping, tubing, boating and fishing with friends. Additionally, over the years, he has become quite the home chef and enjoys cooking for himself and having friends over for dinner. He enjoys being creative and decorating for different holidays. Finally, when he can go home to Thibodaux, he enjoys nothing more than spending time with his parents, brothers, sisters-in-law, nephew and nieces.
