WHITE BEAR LAKE, MN, April 10, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Anthony S. Yares has been selected for inclusion in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility, and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

As the owner and senior estimator of Yares Renovation Services, which he founded alongside his father in 2015, Mr. Yares has established a reputation for expertise in managing complex and large-scale insurance claims. In his leadership capacity, he structures weekly schedules to balance each team member's workload, oversees the general and financial operations of the business, and leads a team that handles standard restoration projects as well as large-loss and complex fire rebuilds for those in need throughout White Bear Lake and the Twin Cities area.

Mr. Yares' responsibilities include conducting site visits, preparing estimates and comparables for insurance companies, training project managers and estimators, and managing human resources matters. In addition to interviewing and hiring new employees, he works directly with insurance companies to resolve complicated claims — particularly those involving clients who reach policy limits or are underinsured — to ensure the family business maintains the highest standards of client service.

Prior to establishing Yares Renovation Services, Mr. Yares excelled as a project manager at an insurance restoration and remodeling company from 2012 to 2015. Overseeing restoration projects from inception through to completion, he coordinated with clients and subcontractors while ensuring that high-quality standards were always met.

Over the course of four years, Mr. Yares owned and operated Yares Contracting as a carpenter specializing in framing, carpentry, drywall, flooring and painting projects. He managed all aspects of the business from hands-on construction work to client relations and project management, gaining valuable experience that continues to serve him well at Yares Renovation.

Earlier in his career, Mr. Yares worked as a finisher at Scott's Custom Concrete from 2005 to 2008, during which he honed his skills in concrete finishing techniques. He began his professional journey as a roofer with Sykes Building and Remodeling, where he installed exterior home products including siding, roofing, gutters, windows and more for those in need.

Throughout his career, Mr. Yares has demonstrated a steadfast commitment to excellence that has earned his business recognition from the county in the form of a plaque for standing out in the industry. He is an active member of the Main Street Board as well as the White Bear Area Chamber of Commerce, reflecting his dedication to ongoing professional growth and community engagement.

To augment his knowledge and qualifications, Mr. Yares is certified by the Institute of Inspection Cleaning and Restoration Certification (IICRC). Looking back on his storied journey to date, he attributes his success to consistency, resilience and honoring his commitments — qualities he has developed through years of building his business from small projects alongside his father into a respected enterprise. Likewise, the support of mentors such as his business coach Tom Posey as well as neighbors and close friends has been pivotal during periods of challenge or burnout; their encouragement inspires him to pass on his knowledge to younger professionals in turn.

After navigating difficult early years for Yares Restoration Services and pausing operations during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic due to safety concerns, Mr. Yares resumed operations independently following his father's retirement. He implemented new safety protocols and expanded the team by hiring and training new members, a testament to his adaptability and leadership.

Civic involvement is another central aspect of Mr. Yares' life. He volunteers at local races such as marathons and 5Ks, organizes a free community running club with his wife Caroline — covering costs personally — and frequently assists individuals when needs arise within the community.

Mr. Yares' personal achievements are deeply intertwined with his professional ethos. He considers fatherhood his most significant accomplishment, drawing daily motivation from his family — particularly his daughter and wife — and extending that compassion into every aspect of his work by reminding his team that their projects impact families who are experiencing loss or disruption. Similarly, his dedication to distance running over the last seven years reflects not only physical discipline but also mental resilience; marathons and ultramarathons serve as therapy and provide a source of clarity during early-morning miles.

Born and raised in Saint Paul, Mr. Yares enjoys reading and listening to audiobooks — activities that contribute to both his personal fulfillment and professional focus. Alongside Caroline, who operates PLNT BSD — a plant-based restaurant that evolved from clothing retail through various formats before settling into its current location — he follows a vegan and gluten-free diet that reinforces their mission of making healthy food accessible for those with dietary restrictions.

Looking to the future, Mr. Yares aims to expand Yares Renovation Services beyond its original scope by hiring, training and developing younger workers while supporting families through traumatic home losses — including preventing homelessness through careful restoration planning. Witnessing the positive impact of his work on clients, employees and the broader community motivates him to expand revenue streams and build a larger team dedicated to improving perceptions of the construction industry through integrity-driven service.

Mr. Yares' journey from roofing and carpentry to running a successful family business exemplifies his resilience, compassion and an unwavering commitment to uplifting others — qualities that continue to shape both his professional legacy and personal life within White Bear Lake's vibrant community.
