When to Hire a Professional Restoration Company
Shawn Folks • March 29, 2023
Disasters, such as floods, fires, and storms, can cause significant damage to homes and businesses. While it may be tempting to attempt to clean up and restore the damage yourself, hiring a professional restoration company can save you time, money, and potential health hazards. In this blog, we’ll discuss when you should consider hiring a professional restoration company.
- Large-Scale Disasters: In the event of a large-scale disaster, such as a flood or fire, it’s best to leave the cleanup and restoration to the experts. Professional restoration companies have the experience and equipment necessary to quickly and effectively restore your property to its pre-disaster condition.
- Health and Safety Concerns: Restoration work can expose you to hazardous substances, such as mold, asbestos, and chemicals. Professional restoration companies are equipped to handle these substances safely and effectively, protecting both their workers and the occupants of the affected property.
- Time Constraints: Cleaning up and restoring a property after a disaster can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process. By hiring a professional restoration company, you can free up your time and focus on other important tasks, such as dealing with insurance claims and making arrangements for temporary housing.
- Cost-Effective Solution: While it may seem like a good idea to save money by tackling the restoration work yourself, the cost of buying the necessary equipment and supplies can quickly add up. In addition, making mistakes during the restoration process can be costly, as it may result in further damage to your property. Hiring a professional restoration company can be a more cost-effective solution, as they will have the necessary equipment and experience to complete the work efficiently.
- Better Results: Professional restoration companies are trained to restore properties to their pre-disaster condition, using industry-standard techniques and equipment. They have the experience and knowledge necessary to effectively remove all traces of damage, ensuring that your property is restored to its original state.

Saying Hi to July! The summer is here—and so is the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season.

Meet the Team: Marcela Argueta Every month, I have the opportunity to showcase our many awesome team members. For July, we are shining the spotlight on Marcela Argueta , who serves as a Lead Technician at our New Orleans location. She was promoted to that position in January 2025 . From Honduras to GRS Marcela was born and raised in La Ceiba, Honduras , also known as “la novia de Honduras” —which translates to “the bride of Honduras.” She moved to the U.S. in December 2016 after earning her bachelor’s degree in nursing from the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de Honduras . Marcela is currently approved and ready to take her exam to become a registered nurse in the U.S. Before joining our team in August 2022 , she worked as both a nurse and a homemaker . Life Outside of Work Marcela is a proud mother of two—her son, Sebastian (15) and daughter, Eleanor (5) . When she’s not working, she loves spending quality time with her children and extended family. Fun fact: her half-sister, Brenda , also works at GRS in our Baton Rouge office! One of Marcela’s favorite pastimes is going for walks in the park. She says she often uses this time to meditate and reflect—thinking about what she’s done well and what she could improve.
