Shawn Folks • September 25, 2018

Guarantee Restoration Services, a leader in the restoration industry along the gulf coast, has mobilized project managers and technicians to help our partners in North Carolina and assist them in responding to the damages caused by Hurricane Florence on the East Coast.


Guarantee Restoration has determined the company’s resources will be staged outside of Wilmington, NC and other cities in the upcoming days. Resources will include equipment for water extraction and drying, generators, project managers and other trained professionals. Over the past weekend Guarantee Restoration began preparations to send equipment by loading trucks to assist with disaster efforts.


“We’ve been called to help North Carolina and the surrounding areas recover from the storm. We understand the need to assist our friends with returning operations to their businesses and put people back into their homes.” said Shawn Folks, CEO of Guarantee Restoration.


Guarantee Restoration’s response teams will be arriving along the coast of North Carolina, especially the Wilmington area over the next few days. Guarantee Restoration has been requested to assist clients on the east coast, to ensure the correct equipment and other resources is ready to respond as soon as flood waters recede. If needed, the company plans to bring their national partners’ resources with Restoration Affiliates. RA is a network of restoration contractors who bring national coverage with local expertise.

Saying Hi to July! The summer is here—and so is the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane Season. No matter what it brings, you can be assured that our team at Guarantee Restoration Services will be there when you need us most. 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.
