Healing After Loss Starts With Our Team

Shawn Folks • Mar 11, 2019

As a company, I have found Guarantee Restoration to have a caring, solutions and customer service driven team. However, like doctors, even the most caring in the restoration industry can forget the stress a property loss has on the families and businesses we serve.


Recently, our CEO Shawn Folks had our company reading Healing the Loss by Steve Toburen. From defining our role as property damage restoration professionals to reminding our team of the emotional dynamics involved during a client’s property claim; this book is helping our team understand we aren’t just rebuilding a structure… we are rebuilding lives and businesses.


Here are 3 lessons I have learned:



  1. Understanding our role during the initial phase of a property claim is to provide comfort for our clients.
  2. By using unemotional legal phrases like “the insured” can reflect a cold & unfeeling attitude toward the client. Additionally technical language can overwhelm the client.
  3. 80% of how a client decides if the job was done right is based on the relationship of the technicians, subcontractors and project managers they see doing the work.


In summary, by investing time to develop rapport & understanding, our team will better meet the client’s expectations and continue our success.

Spring has Sprung! April has without a doubt already brought the showers. Our team has been busy helping our partners recover from the severe weather along the Gulf Coast this week.

She moved to the Mississippi Gulf Coast about 20 years ago. After high school, she attended Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College. Prior to joining the GRS team in July 2022, she was a nursing assistant for two years. When she is not working, she spends her free time with her 10-year-old son, Dylan. They enjoy roller skating and any fun, outside activities that they can do together. When she can, she likes to fix things around the house. During football season, she loves watching her favorite team, the Las Vegas Raiders. Finally, I asked Nicole what she likes about working for our company. She responded, “I love working with my coworkers, they are my favorite part about working with Guarantee Restoration Services.”
