Ask Ava anything about the information on this page.
The Orlando-Kissimmee metro has 2,539 larger buildings in flooring-buying categories, led by apartment and multifamily management companies (807), and 31 nonresidential flooring contractors working them. It over-indexes on auto dealerships, which should anchor a target list. Start in Orange County, Seminole County and Osceola County, where 88% of them sit.
These are the 10 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for flooring work, with how many of each are in the Orlando-Kissimmee metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Orlando-Kissimmee leans toward auto dealerships (1.53x), private K-12 schools (1.52x) and apartment and multifamily management companies (1.50x). Build the list around those categories. Senior living and skilled nursing and colleges and universities are thinner than the national mix, so treat them as selective targets.
Locations are establishments with 20 or more employees (U.S. Census Bureau, County Business Patterns 2023); property management and similar companies are counted in full, whatever their size. Change and concentration: U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Quarterly Census of Employment and Wages, private ownership, 2026 Q1.
Buildings per contractor: Orlando and nearby markets
31 nonresidential flooring contractors are based in the Orlando-Kissimmee metro. The trade is at about the national concentration. 81.9 larger flooring-buying buildings per contractor puts Orlando 20 of 68 markets, and 4 of 8 in Florida. That is more room per contractor than most metros, so systematic prospecting tends to find accounts nobody is working. If you can serve Daytona Beach, it has more larger buildings per contractor than Orlando.

Your SDR calls Orlando facility and property teams every month of the year at the same pace. What changes is the message: each account's renovation or tenant turnover timing, and the problems the building is dealing with right now. The calendar never stops filling.
Every meeting passes Right Company, Right Contact and Right Timing, and arrives with the floor types, the square footage and the renovation timing.
The Results Portal shows every call, email, conversation and booked meeting in the Orlando program, around the clock.
