Meet the Team | Dwayne Hartley Guarantee Restoration

Christina Riviere • February 9, 2022

Welcome to February! For many people, January is the slowest month of the year. Between the return from the holidays to the colder, freezing temperatures, it never seems to end. I am happy to report, however, that we have made it through once again! 


Like I mentioned last month, we are continuing to spotlight a different team member every month. This month, I am excited to introduce you to Dwayne Hartley, a technician at our Gulfport branch.


Meet the Team: Paw-Paw Dwayne, Bowling & America’s Pastime 

Dwayne was born and raised in Biloxi. Upon his high school graduation, he went straight to work full-time. Before joining our team in October 2021, he worked for Orkin Pest Control for 2 years.


Personally, Dwayne is the father of six children, 3 boys and 3 girls. He explained that when is not working, his five grandkids keep him very busy. They lovingly refer to him as “Paw-Paw.”


In the spare time he does find, he enjoys knocking back a few pins and playing baseball. Dwayne said that his favorite sports team is the New Orleans Saints…Who Dat!


Meet the Team: Teamwork Makes the Dream Work! 

As I was working on this article, I asked him what he likes about working for GRS. He said, “I love the teamwork that is demonstrated each day from the technicians to the project managers to the branch manager.” 


To connect with Dwayne, reach out to him via email.

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.
