Meet The Team | Marcela Argueta

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. 



Words of Wisdom 

When I asked Marcela what advice she would offer company leaders, she said: 


“Be empathetic and patient. You don’t know what kind of problems your tech is going through at any moment.” 


And for her fellow team members: 


“Keep a positive attitude. This greatly influences your job performance and how your coworkers see you. Look for solutions to problems and always go the extra mile. Be extraordinary in what you do.” 


What She Loves About GRS 

Marcela told me that what she appreciates most about working at GRS is the trust and support from her project managers


“What I love more about working for GRS is the confidence my project managers give me, and the autonomy they have given me because I have earned it by working hard. I want them to know that their projects are safe in my hands.”

Removing damaged materials safely and efficiently helps lay the foundation for the next phase of the restoration process, making demolition one of the most critical steps in recovery.

"I believe people appreciate knowing the truth, especially after their property has been damaged. Being honest, dependable, and transparent helps build trust and shows our customers they can count on us from start to finish." Jerome believes honest communication helps reassure customers during stressful situations while building lasting trust throughout the restoration process. Advice for New Team Members Jerome's advice for anyone starting a career in restoration is straightforward. "Follow what the Lead Tech says. You'll learn everything you need to know." By staying willing to learn and trusting experienced team members, new technicians can quickly build the skills and confidence needed to succeed in the field.
