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

For five and a half years, I’ve had the privilege of writing our Meet the Team blog series. About two years into my role, our department grew with the addition of a third team member. This November, I’m excited to introduce you to someone who has already made a positive impact on our team — our GRS Marketing Assistant, Savannah Dear . As we approach Thanksgiving in just two short weeks, it’s hard to believe the holiday season is nearly here. No matter how busy this time of year becomes, one thing remains constant: when it comes to property damage emergencies, our team is always here for you . Meet the Team | Savannah Dear Savannah was born in Monroe, Louisiana, and raised in Clinton, Mississippi. After graduating from Clinton High School in 2018, she attended the University of Mississippi, where she earned her Bachelor of Science in Integrated Communication in 2023. In January 2024, she moved to Baton Rouge and began a career in Sales and Marketing with Orange Theory Fitness. We were thrilled to welcome her to the GRS team on August 26, 2024 . Life Outside of Work When Savannah isn’t assisting with social media content, organizing inventory, or supporting our sales team, she loves getting to know Baton Rouge. Her favorite pastimes include exploring the city, trying new restaurants with her boyfriend Jeremiah, spending time with friends, attending concerts, and playing with her dog, Honey. Singing is one of her favorite ways to unwind, and she will never turn down a karaoke night! She’s also an avid traveler, reality TV enthusiast, and sports fan. Her favorite teams include the New Orleans Pelicans, Pittsburgh Pirates, Washington Commanders, and her beloved — and slightly apologetic — Ole Miss Rebels.
