Restoring Your Commercial Property After a Pest Infestation

Jordan Steib • July 5, 2023

Pest infestations can be a nightmare for commercial property owners. They not only pose health risks, but also cause damage to the structure of the building, leaving it vulnerable to further problems. As a property owner, dealing with a pest infestation can be frustrating and overwhelming. However, with the right restoration company, restoring your commercial property after a pest infestation can be manageable. In this article, we'll discuss the steps to take when restoring your commercial property after a pest infestation.

 

Pest Infestation Inspection and Assessment

 

After a pest infestation, the first step in restoring your commercial property is to conduct a thorough inspection and assessment. The inspection will help identify the extent of the damage caused by the infestation and determine the type of pests that caused it. The assessment will help identify any structural damage that the infestation may have caused, and determine the best course of action to restore your property.

 

Pest Infestation Clean-up

 

Following the inspection, the next step is to clean up the affected areas. The cleanup process involves removing any dead pests, their nests, and any debris left behind. The restoration company will use specialized equipment and products to clean the affected areas thoroughly. This is a crucial step in restoring your commercial property, because it ensures that any remaining pests or debris are eliminated to prevent further infestation.

 

Repair and Restoration After a Pest Infestation

 

The next step is to repair and restore any damage caused by the infestation. This may involve repairing any structural damage, replacing damaged insulation, or fixing any plumbing or electrical issues. The restoration company will work closely with you to ensure that all repairs are completed efficiently and effectively, and that your property is restored to its pre-infestation condition.

 

Preventing a Pest Infestation

 

Preventing future pest infestations is an essential part of restoring your commercial property. The restoration company will work with you to identify potential entry points and areas that are vulnerable to infestations. They will also recommend preventive measures such as sealing cracks, installing screens, and applying pest control treatments.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact Information: Zack Klein Director of Marketing and Business Development 225-753-8682 Zack@247GRS.com Guarantee Restoration Services Launches National Sales Team to Expand Strategic Partnerships Across the Country BATON ROUGE, La. – June 16, 2026 – Guarantee Restoration Services (GRS), a leading full-service restoration contractor serving the Gulf Coast since 1974, is proud to announce the implementation of its new National Sales Team. This strategic initiative marks an exciting step forward in the company’s continued growth and commitment to serving clients and partners on a broader scale. The newly established team will be led by Barrett Dick, Director of National Sales, alongside Zack Klein, Director of Business Development and Marketing. Together, they have played a pivotal role in growing GRS relationships across multiple industries throughout the Gulf Coast and beyond for over a decade. The team also includes newly hired account executives, David Stern and Chad Catalano. “Over the years, we have seen our partnerships and opportunities continue to grow beyond our traditional footprint,” said Zack Klein, Director of Business Development and Marketing at Guarantee Restoration Services. “Creating a dedicated National Sales Team allows us to strengthen those relationships, support our partners on a larger scale, and continue expanding the reach of the GRS brand, while staying true to the service and responsiveness we are known for.” Dick, who will celebrate 10 years with GRS next month, brings extensive industry knowledge and leadership experience to the role. He holds multiple Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC) credentials, including Water Damage Restoration Technician (WRT), Applied Structural Drying (ASD), Applied Microbial Remediation Technician (AMRT), and Fire & Smoke Damage Restoration Technician (FSRT). After graduating from Louisiana State University, Barrett began his professional career with Marucci Sports before joining Guarantee Restoration Services in July 2016. Just weeks into his time with the company, the historic Great Flood of 2016 impacted Southeastern Louisiana, providing him with firsthand experience managing large-scale losses and coordinating restoration efforts for major school districts and commercial clients. Since then, he has helped cultivate business development efforts throughout Louisiana and nationally, working closely with partners in hospitality, education, government, healthcare, and other commercial sectors. “Our focus has always been relationship-driven,” said Dick. “We want our clients and partners to know they have a team they can rely on before, during, and after a disaster. This National Sales Team is another way we are investing in those relationships and positioning Guarantee to better serve organizations wherever they need us.” As part of the expansion, GRS hired David Stern as a National Sales Account Executive. Stern brings more than a decade of high-level sales and relationship management experience from the professional sports industry. Prior to joining our team, he served with the New Orleans Saints and Pelicans organization, where he consistently ranked among the organization’s top sales representatives and generated more than $38 million in multiyear contracts throughout his career. “David’s experience of building relationships, managing high-profile partnerships, and delivering exceptional client service makes him a tremendous addition to our team,” added Klein. “His background and skillset align perfectly with the direction we are heading as a company.” The National Sales Team also includes Chad Catalano, who joined Guarantee Restoration Services in January 2026. Catalano brings nearly two decades of restoration industry experience, with a strong background in sales leadership, project coordination, and relationship development throughout the Southeast and Gulf South regions. Prior to joining GRS, Catalano served as National Sales Manager for ServiceMaster DSI and spent more than 16 years with US Restoration as a Sales and Project Coordinator. Throughout his career, he has built long-standing partnerships while helping clients navigate complex restoration and recovery projects. In addition to his restoration industry experience, Catalano also spent several years as a successful high school baseball coach in the New Orleans area, earning multiple district championships and Coach of the Year honors. His leadership, communication skills, and client-focused approach make him a valuable addition to the growing national team. Guarantee Restoration Services continues to serve clients across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama with six locations in Baton Rouge, Lafayette, and New Orleans, Louisiana; Gulfport and Jackson, Mississippi; and Mobile, Alabama.
