Jim and Kelley Hobart began the next, exciting chapter in their life 14 years ago. Inspired by the beauty of North Idaho, the abundance of outdoor opportunities and the friendly people, they moved into their custom home in Hayden in 2010.
Everything was more beautiful than they had imagined it could be, except the epoxy flooring in the garage; after only a few years, it had faded, chipped and peeled up in the areas where they parked their cars. “I looked for solutions and was told I would need to have it professionally ground off, and then they would re-apply a new epoxy floor,” recalls Jim. “I didn’t want to repeat using epoxy only to get the same results a few years later.”
He and Kelley discovered the Penntek flooring system while visiting a relative — who raved about it! Jim decided to reach out to the manufacturer and discovered that no one was offering their flooring system alternative to epoxy in North Idaho or Spokane. This inspired the Hobarts to change that. They introduced Croc Coatings in 2020, bringing this revolutionary flooring system to the area so that others could have a new choice with premium flooring solutions. Since that time, they have installed over 1,000 Croc floors for local residents and businesses.
“We started the business with a mission to provide extraordinary floors and service and have grown as a result of delivering on this promise,” affirms Jim. “However, it’s not all about growth; it’s about serving a true need and delivering exceptional service to our customers.”
Croc Coatings provides a flooring system that is durable, beautiful and lasts for years, plus it comes with a lifetime warranty against fading and discoloration — so it is perfect for outdoor areas. “Done in one day, it's one of the best home or business improvement projects ever!” Jim notes.
Also ideal for commercial use, Croc Coatings has replaced old epoxy floors with their industrial coatings at car dealerships, distilleries, restaurants and local shops.
From the day it was founded, Croc Coatings has had one simple goal: to provide the most durable and long-lasting floor coating products for homes and businesses and to install them with exceptional customer service. Jim has a fantastic team that cares about their customers and provides an exceptional experience every step along the way.
