Meet the Team | Billy Hughes Guarantee Restoration

In the famous words of the great songwriter Irving Berlin and song of Andy Williams:

It’s the holiday season, holiday season,

so it's the holiday season (the holiday season)

So hoop-de-do and dickory dock

And don't forget to hang up your sock

‘Cause just exactly at twelve o'clock

He'll be coming down the chimney, down

(He'll be coming down the chimney, down)

It is certainly the holiday season, and busyness has officially ensued. No matter how busy the month of December gets for our team, I always find time to spotlight at least one team member per month. This December, we would like to introduce you to Billy Hughes, who is a Project Manager at our Lafayette, Louisiana branch!

Meet the Team: An “Air Force Brat”

Billy was originally born in Biloxi, Mississippi. At the time, his father was stationed at Keesler Air Force Base. As an Air Force brat, he and his family moved several times throughout his life. These places included San Antonio, TX, Rantoul, IL, Ft. Worth, TX, Monroe, LA, Piqua, OH and Lafayette, LA. Because his family moved around so much, he went to 3 high school in 4 years. For his freshman and sophomore years, he attended Comeaux High School in Lafayette. He transferred to Acadiana High School for junior year. Billy finished up his senior year at Lehman Catholic High School in Sidney, Ohio.

Upon his graduation from high school, he received a football scholarship to Walsh University in Canton, Ohio. He then transferred to the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and played football there as well. Billy graduated from there in 2000.

Before joining our GRS team, he built houses for years in Houston and Lafayette. Personally, has been married to his high school sweetheart, Heidi for 11 years. They have three daughters: Anna Louise (20), who is an avid artist; Natalia Marie (12), who loves to sing and do horse shows; and Naloni Marisol (10), who loves art and riding horses. He said that he does not have much spare time, because he described himself as a “Girl Dad!”

When he isn’t busy raising his daughters, he finds time to watch and support the Ragin Cajuns in football and other sports. Although, he does not care for cooking, he and his family love to go out to eat!

Meet the Team: It’s Like Family

Whenever I was working on this blog, I asked him what he likes about working for GRS. He stated, “The culture here is so awesome, it’s like family. I’ve worked for a lot of companies and have never had as much fun as I do here!”

Meet The Team | Savannah Dear

By Christina Mullins • November 12, 2025

For five and a half years, I’ve had the privilege of writing our Meet the Team blog series. About two years into my role, our department grew with the addition of a third team member. This November, I’m excited to introduce you to someone who has already made a positive impact on our team — our GRS Marketing Assistant, Savannah Dear . As we approach Thanksgiving in just two short weeks, it’s hard to believe the holiday season is nearly here. No matter how busy this time of year becomes, one thing remains constant: when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always here for you . Meet the Team | Savannah Dear Savannah was born in Monroe, Louisiana, and raised in Clinton, Mississippi. After graduating from Clinton High School in 2018, she attended the University of Mississippi, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Integrated Communication in 2023. In January 2024, she moved to Baton Rouge and began a career in Sales and Marketing with Orange Theory Fitness. We were thrilled to welcome her to the GRS team on August 26, 2024 . Life Outside of Work When Savannah isn’t assisting with social media content, organizing inventory, or supporting our sales team, she loves getting to know Baton Rouge. Her favorite pastimes include exploring the city, trying new restaurants with her boyfriend Jeremiah, spending time with friends, attending concerts, and playing with her dog, Honey. Singing is one of her favorite ways to unwind, and she will never turn down a karaoke night! She’s also an avid traveler, reality TV enthusiast, and sports fan. Her favorite teams include the New Orleans Pelicans, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Commanders, and her beloved — and slightly apologetic — Ole Miss Rebels.
