At Guarantee Restoration, we understand that when your property suffers from a fire, water or mold damage, it can feel like your world is turned upside down. Going through the tougher times in life is what makes us stronger on the other side, but you can’t always do it alone. Having a strong partner in times of disaster, is what makes the hard times easier.


That’s why we’re passionate about being the best! Our team cares. Plain and simple. We know that contents are what makes a house a home, and the lights being on are what keeps a business in business. We’re the team that puts ourselves in your shoes, knowing that after all is said and done, you’ll only be stronger on the other side.


“I love this concept because it explains how our team deals with the worst life can throw at our clients… embracing this idea is why we grow and it’s the root of our passion to help others. So when you need a company who has a passion for delivering solutions, call the team who is available 24/7” – Shawn Folks

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.
