Post Falls garages face a long season of slush, plows and road deicer
Post Falls grew up around a Spokane River lumber mill that Frederick Post started in 1871, and the city was incorporated in 1891, according to the cityās own history. Today it is a Kootenai County city of roughly 45,000 people. NOAAās 1991ā2020 normals for the nearby Coeur dāAlene station show about 25.4 inches of precipitation a year and average January lows around 26Ā°F, so the garage floor spends a lot of the year wet or cold. Croc Coatings has installed 1,700+ floors across North Idaho and Eastern Washington. Sources: City of Post Falls: Snow Response Operations and NOAA 1991ā2020 climate normals.
A winter that keeps cycling. Water in a Post Falls slab does not freeze once and stay frozen. At the Coeur dāAlene station, NOAAās normals put the low at or below 32Ā°F on about 120 days a year, and February normals run from 26.5Ā°F up to 40.7Ā°F, so a freeze and a thaw can happen inside one day. Each round expands the ice in the pores and can chip the surface or lengthen a crack. That is why the structural cracks and spalls on the Post Falls garage in our Showcase were repaired before the polyaspartic system went down. Residential floors carry a lifetime warranty.
Plowed streets, deicer and the tires that carry it home
The City of Post Falls plows in priority order, from arterials to residential zones, and its snow plan applies magnesium chloride deicer to streets before expected icy conditions. Whatever is on the road ends up on your tires. In a garage, that slush and deicer drips onto bare concrete and sits in the pores. A sealed flake floor gives meltwater a surface it cannot soak into, and you can squeegee it out the door.
Cracks and spalls before color
One of the Post Falls garages in our Showcase had structural cracks and surface spalling. The crew tested moisture, repaired the damage and diamond-ground the slab before installing a polyaspartic system with Claystone Hybrid flake. Repairs like that decide how a floor ages, so we look at them first, ahead of the color.
Porches, walkways and backyard patios
Another Post Falls job covered a front porch, a side walkway and a backyard patio in a North Pole flake blend. Outdoor concrete here sees snow, shovels and sun, so we grind, repair and finish it with a slip-resistant, low-maintenance surface.

Post Falls projects from our Showcase
These photos come from the public Croc Coatings Showcase, filtered to Post Falls. Two garages and one porch, walkway and patio project are summarized below, and the Showcase lists more.
Claystone Hybrid garage floor and crack repair, Post Falls
After moisture testing, the crew repaired structural cracks and surface spalling and diamond-ground the slab. They then installed a polyaspartic system with a Claystone Hybrid flake finish, described as chemical-resistant and easy to clean, designed for daily traffic. See this project in the Showcase.
North Pole flake porch, walkway and patio, Post Falls
This Post Falls homeās front porch, side walkway and backyard patio were mechanically ground and moisture-tested, then cracks and spalls were repaired. A Penntek polyurea basecoat and polyaspartic topcoat with a North Pole flake blend finish the slip-resistant, low-maintenance surface. See this project in the Showcase.
Slate Hybrid garage floor, Post Falls
Moisture testing and surface prep came first, followed by repairs to cracks and spalls with specialized fillers. The multi-layer polyurea and polyaspartic system with Slate Hybrid flake is described as stain-resistant and suited to heavy vehicle traffic. See this project in the Showcase.

OUR SERVICE AREA
Is Croc Coatings really based in Post Falls?
Yes. We are based in Post Falls, Idaho, and our crews coat floors across Post Falls and the rest of North Idaho. There is normally no travel charge, though some outlying projects have one that is shown on your quote.
Can you repair a cracked or spalled garage slab in Post Falls before coating?
We can make minor repairs: small cracks are filled with Penntek menders and fillers before the base coat goes down. We are a concrete coatings company, not a concrete repair company, so large structural cracks may not be a fit. Our warranty covers the coating we apply, not the concrete underneath it.
How long before I can park in my Post Falls garage?
Most garages up to 900 sq ft (up to 3 cars) are installed in one day. We ask that you wait 12-24 hours to walk on the floor, and longer before driving on it, depending on temperature, so we will give you a date.
Will road deicer and winter slush hurt a coated floor?
The topcoat is a sealed polyurea/polyaspartic layer, so meltwater and deicer sit on top of it instead of soaking in. You will still want to rinse or squeegee the floor after a storm. Our guide on salt damage explains more.

How It Works
Here is how a Post Falls job goes from first visit to finished floor:
1: Preparing Your Floors
We start with shot blasting or diamond grinding, using grinders connected to HEPA-filter vacuums to limit dust.
2: Repairing Your Floors
Pits, cracks and spalls are filled with Penntek menders and fillers so the finished surface is smooth.
3: Applying the Base-Coat
A Penntek 100% solids, self-priming polyurea base-coat goes down as the strong bottom layer.
4: Hand-Casting the Chip
Vinyl chip is hand-cast generously over the wet base-coat for color and texture.
5: Scraping the Chip
After the base-coat cures, we scrape and vacuum off loose and vertical flakes.
6: Sealing the Clear Coat
A Penntek UV-resistant polyurea/polyaspartic clear coat is rolled on and sealed over the chip.
