History

Theodore A. Husom founded Florock Northwest in 1979 as a concrete coating installer and a supplier of hardwood floor coatings. In December of 1985 Scott Groenke was hired as a warehouse worker. In August of 1986 Mary Sheehan was hired as General Manager.

In the summer of 1986 Mr. Husom had become inactive in the business due to illness   and appointed Mary Sheehan as president. In May of 1988 Mr. Husom sold his business to Ms. Sheehan.

In October of 1997 Florock Northwest changed its name to Floors Northwest, Inc. to better reflect the broad range of products that we offer. “Florock Northwest” is still occasionally used in connection with our concrete business.

When Ms. Sheehan bought the business it was located in Eden Prairie a few years later it was moved to the Crystal/New Hope area. In 1999, we moved to a new warehouse off of 694 and East River Road. In December of 2011, Floors Northwest moved just down the road off of 694 and University. The new location offers a larger warehouse and has a beautiful show room for our guests.

Twenty-five years later, Floors Northwest is a leader in value-added selling into the hardwood flooring and concrete coatings market. Our reputation is based on the quality of our service and the integrity of our employees.
