Orlando-based Commercial Maintenance Company Continues to Expand

One of the Orlando, Fla., area's long-time Hispanic-owned businesses is expanding.

D&A Building Services Inc., an office and commercial maintenance company based in Longwood, has launched a subsidiary called D&A Communications Services Inc.

The subsidiary provides office equipment installation, systems integration, procurement services and wire maintenance for building owners and property managers.

The new business will operate from the parent company's headquarters, and Al Sarabasa, founder and president of D&A Building Services, will be chief executive officer of the subsidiary.

Sarabasa said his brother, Carlos Sarabasa, who has more than two decades of experience in information technology, will serve as president of the subsidiary.

The family-owned business was founded in Central Florida in 1985 as a window-cleaning business, with two employees. Full-service janitorial was added in 1989, landscaping maintenance was added in 2004, and waterproofing in 2005.

The company now generates almost $20 million a year in revenue, and the new line of communication services is forecast to add as much as $1.5 million in its first year of operation.
