ABOUT US
I am Daniel, director and founder of Cromex Inspections
Welcome to Cromex Inspections, where our commitment is to provide the most accurate and unbiased inspection services in the flooring industry. I am Danijel Akrap, a seasoned professional with over 17 years of experience in the flooring sector.
 
Early Career and International Experience: My journey in the flooring industry began in my native Croatia. I sharpened my skills as a floor installer, gaining expertise in various hard surface materials. In 2008, I moved to Italy, settling in the picturesque region of La Marche. There, I worked with a distinguished contractor named Davide, after whom my son was named. This period enriched my understanding of European flooring techniques and standards.
 
Transition to the U.S.: In March 2013, I relocated to California, where I founded and managed Cromex Flooring and Bayside Flooring. These companies specialized in repairs and full floor replacements, particularly addressing issues stemming from poor installation practices observed at Home Depot. This experience sparked my interest in the inspection aspect of the flooring business, leading to a focus on enhancing industry standards through education and quality control.
 
Current Endeavors: Since January 2022, I have been based in Texas and have committed to floor inspections full-time. I am proud to be:
  • Certified Independent Floor Inspector
  • ICRI Certified Inspector of Concrete Floors
  • NWFA Certified Inspector of Wood Floor Installations
  • CTEF and Stone Forensics Certified for Tile and Stone Installations
  • NALFA Certified for Laminate Floor Inspections

  • Licensed Floor Installer, State of California
Professional Contributions: With a background in leadership, having managed Southbay Flooring, I now leverage my skills as:

  • Specialist in Forensic Flooring Failure Analysis, covering both subfloors and floor coverings.
  • Provider of precision Flooring Forensics investigation services.
My consultancy extends to flooring companies seeking to elevate their practices, reduce risks, and safeguard their investments. My approach is always grounded in the highest standards of quality and integrity.
