Meet the Torrance Team Behind Keegan Restoration Torrance

When water is pouring through a ceiling at 2 a.m. or smoke has worked its way into every room, the people who show up matter. Our Torrance crew has been built one hire at a time since Keegan joined the Garrison Partners family in 2005. Some came from framing, some from restoration, one from the Navy. What they share is simpler than a resume: they show up inside the window, put the price in writing, work by the book, and don’t leave until the site is clean. These are the people you’ll actually see on your job.

Our People

Shane Pruitt, Owner

Shane Pruitt has run Keegan Restoration Torrance from the start. He’s the one who answers the phone on a Sunday night if the dispatcher is already on a call, and he’s been known to pull baseboards himself when a job runs long. Shane spent years on the tools before taking ownership, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise exists because he got tired of watching homeowners accept shoddy repairs because nobody offered anything better. He’ll tell you the worst call he ever worked was a bathroom leak that had been “fixed” twice by another company before anyone thought to check the shower pan. The third repair was the real one. That’s the standard he refuses to budge on: written price before any work starts, every single time, and a free return visit within a year if the fix doesn’t hold. When he’s not chasing drywall dust, he’s chasing striped bass off the Redondo breakwall.

Marcus T., Lead Water Damage Technician

Marcus has spent more than a decade in restoration, and he’s the one who walks a flooded house with the thermal camera and a moisture meter before anything gets cut open. He holds IICRC certifications in Water Damage Restoration and Applied Structural Drying, and he’s the reason we run Dri-Eaz dehumidifiers and Phoenix air movers the way the manufacturer’s psychrometric charts actually call for. Marcus can look at a stain on a Torrance ceiling and tell you whether the water came from a supply line or a roof flashing. He keeps a small notebook in his van with drying logs from every job he’s ever led. His wife says he reads the manual for everything. She’s right, and it shows.

Priya S., Mold Remediation Specialist

Priya handles mold jobs with a level of containment discipline that makes inspectors smile. She’s trained in IICRC mold remediation standards and runs XPOWER negative air machines and B-Air scrubbers with the kind of precision most people reserve for surgery. Priya spent five years in commercial abatement before joining us, which means she treats a 40-square-foot bathroom bloom with the same protocol as a crawlspace colonization. She documents everything, photographing each step so the insurance adjuster sees exactly what was found and exactly what was done. Outside work, she’s a ceramics hobbyist who somehow finds clay dust relaxing after a day of mold spore containment.

Carlos M., Service Coordinator

Carlos is the voice you’ll most likely hear when you call Keegan Restoration Torrance at (424) 323-4271. He took the dispatcher role after years in a fire restoration crew, so he knows which questions to ask before the technicians roll. Carlos keeps the schedule moving, tracks the equipment fleet, and makes sure every job file includes the photos and drying logs that support your insurance claim. He’s the reason the live person answering at 7 p.m. actually knows what a Category 3 water loss means. Carlos has a two-year-old daughter, coaches Friday night youth soccer at Wilson Park, and occasionally brings homemade tamales to the shop that the crew has formally asked him to make more often.

One Standard, Every Job

Every person on this page works under The Garrison Standard, and it’s not a poster in the break room. The price is written before work begins. Technicians are background-checked and arrive in uniform. The job is done by the IICRC, RIA, and IFA standards that apply to the situation, then the site is left clean enough that you wouldn’t know we were there except for the drying equipment still humming. And when the work is done, the 365-Day Done Right Promise applies: if the repair fails within a full year, Keegan Restoration Torrance comes back and makes it right at no charge. That’s the rule Shane Pruitt set, and the crew on this page is the reason it holds.
