Ask Ava anything about the information on this page.
The Spokane-Spokane Valley metro has 579 larger buildings in flooring-buying categories, led by ambulatory health care: physician, dental, outpatient and urgent care (197), and 4 nonresidential flooring contractors working them. It over-indexes on senior living and skilled nursing, which should anchor a target list. Start in Spokane County, where 97% of them sit.
These are the 9 industries Abstrakt's SDRs call for flooring work, with how many of each are in the Spokane-Spokane Valley metro and who to ask for. Compared with the U.S. as a whole, Spokane-Spokane Valley leans toward senior living and skilled nursing (3.03x), auto dealerships (1.24x) and apartment and multifamily management companies (1.20x). Build the list around those categories. Hospital campuses and commercial property management firms 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: Spokane and nearby markets
4 nonresidential flooring contractors are based in the Spokane-Spokane Valley metro. That is 1 fewer than a year ago. When a contractor closes or sells, its customers go looking for a new one. The trade is 16% less concentrated than the U.S. as a whole, so a consistent outbound program reaches facility and property teams that are not tired of contractor calls. The BLS count shows 4 nonresidential flooring contractors in the Spokane-Spokane Valley metro, too few to rank fairly against other markets (we rank markets with 10 or more). Some firms doing this work are coded under other trades, so treat the 144.8 buildings per contractor as a sign of thin local coverage, not a precise ratio. Spokane has more larger buildings per contractor than the nearest markets.
