Defining Our Core Values At GRS

Shelby Forsyth • May 4, 2021

Now, you may be wondering, what is a core value? Simply put, core values set the tone for a business to shape the culture and behavior of its staff. These values establish the foundation of beliefs set by its founders to guide employees to make the right decisions daily. If employees are guided by the same beliefs, then it is easier to attain the same goals. Whether it is a Fortune 500 company or a small “Mom and Pop Shop,” core values are chiefly important! 


DEFINING CORE VALUES AT GRS

As you can see on our social media pages and beyond, we talk about our core values a lot. This is no accident! Our core values mean everything to our company and have been refined since our company’s inception in 1974. Guarantee Restoration Services prides itself on having the following five core values: 


  • Honesty: Give transparency and accountability in everything we do.
  • Workmanship: Provide continuous training for employees, which ensure quality of work performed.
  • Efficiency: Deliver cost-effective and timely solutions to our customers.
  • Commitment: Promise to follow-through to the end of each project. 
  • Partnership: Work closely with our customers to resolve a multitude of property damage challenges.


SEEING OUR CORE VALUES FIRSTHAND

After being here for more than a year, I have seen these demonstrated by all of our team members, who strive to live them out every day. I am extremely proud to work for a company who keeps their standards so high. These same standards are the reason we have grown so much in the past few years and continue to grow.

Have you ever heard the saying, treat others the way you would want to be treated? It is pretty common, but it speaks volumes. That is why we esteem our core values so much here at GRS. We want to be that first call that gives our partners a peace of mind when they call us! In order to do so, all of our branches have put teams in place that work great as a team and have a heart that beats as one. There is no doubt that each and every one of us strives to be the best we can be on a daily basis!

Meet The Team | Marcela Argueta

By Christina Mullins • July 9, 2025
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.
