Abimael Laureano from Baxter Restoration

Title: Sr. Project Manager/Branch Supervisor

Hometown: Boca Raton, FL

Abimael or Abbie, as we call him here at Baxter Restoration’s South Florida office in Boca Raton, is our diligent project manager. He oversees our entire operation in South Florida. He's been involved in the construction business for most of his life. Before joining us down South, he lived in Michigan. He holds a General Contractor’s license, a Builder’s Certification from the Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn, and IICRC certifications in fire, water, and odor remediation.

“I love working with Dave Baxter and the rest of our crew. It is inspiring to see such a hands-on business owner. I can’t imagine working anywhere else,” shares Abbie.

No matter the day of the week, Abbie is always an early riser. From 5:30 AM on, he swiftly moves down his to-do list. He’s involved in all aspects of the restoration business; estimating, client relations, project scheduling, subcontractor management, budgeting, interviewing and hiring for new positions, and general oversight of each job from beginning to completion.

In his new position as Branch Manager, he secured a contract with the Federally Recognized Indian Tribe, The Seminole Tribe of Florida.

Abbie is happily married to his wife Christy and is the proud father of three children; Brenden, Gabriella, and Alexander. When Abimael isn’t overseeing restoration projects, he’s coaching his sons’ in their favorite sport of baseball and spending time with his family outdoors.
