Baton Rouge, Louisiana – Guarantee Restoration Services has earned a ranking of sixth on Louisiana State University’s 2022 LSU100 list of fastest growing LSU graduate owned or led companies. Postlethwaite & Netterville calculated each company’s compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the past three years to generate the ranking. In addition to celebrating the success of LSU graduates, the LSU 100 and LSU ROARING10 provide a forum to pass lessons on to the next generation of LSU entrepreneurs.


Since 1974, Guarantee Restoration Services has provided property damage restoration and reconstruction services for homes and businesses when they need us most after a natural disaster or property damage. With 5 locations, Guarantee Restoration provides solutions to any size property loss and prides itself on being easy, convenient and consistent. Our mission is to serve friends, family and partners by delivering effective solutions, providing honest and dependable services while ensuring continuity for their lives and businesses.


“This is an incredible honor to receive once again this year. One that could not have been accomplished without my tremendous team, as well as my parents who started Guarantee over 48 years ago,” said GRS CEO Shawn Folks. “We are so gracious to receive this recognition and look forward to continued growth for years to come.”


Previously, GRS was recognized as a 2021 LSU100 honoree, ranking fourth out of 100 honorees. In addition, it has been chosen by the Greater Baton Rouge Business Report as a two-time Top 100 Private Company and Best Places to Work.


The organization is led by its Chief Executive Officer, Shawn Folks, who is a 2003 Business Management graduate of Louisiana State University. Folks has served in this role since 2013, taking over the business originally started by his parents, Chunky and Ellen Folks. The company’s Director of Marketing and Business Development, Zack Klein, obtained a degree in Sports Administration from LSU in 2014.
