Gym Floor Refinishing in Hunterdon County, NJ
Sanding, yearly recoats, repairs and game lines for Hunterdon County schools, churches and rec centers, from Flemington to the Delaware.
A good floor plan for Hunterdon County schools
Hunterdon County is mostly small towns and townships, and a lot of its districts run one or two gyms. Regional high schools in towns like Flemington, Annandale, Glen Gardner, Frenchtown and Lambertville serve several towns each, so their gyms are booked almost every night.
For floors like that, the plan that works is simple: a full sand and refinish when the finish is worn through to the wood, then a screen and recoat every year. A yearly recoat costs far less than a sanding and keeps the floor safe and good-looking for many seasons in between, with repairs and new lines added when you need them.
Older buildings and country conditions
Many Hunterdon gyms are in older buildings, some with crawl spaces or slabs that pick up moisture in a wet spring. Before we sand, we check the boards and take moisture readings. If something under the floor needs attention first, we tell you, because a new finish over a moisture problem will not last.
Church gyms, parish schools and township rec buildings in places like Readington, Tewksbury, Clinton and High Bridge often just need a dustless screen and recoat and a few line touch-ups. We are happy to do those jobs too.
Schools and facilities we have worked with in Hunterdon County
Schools and facilities we’ve worked with in Hunterdon County include Tewksbury Schools (wall pads), the South Hunterdon Regional School District (screen and recoat) and the Riegel Ridge Community Center.
What we do for Hunterdon County gyms
The only wood gym floors we work on are maple, and one team handles the whole job:
- Sanding & refinishing: sanded to bare maple, new lines and logos, new seal and finish
- Screen & recoat: the dustless yearly coat that keeps the finish protecting the wood
- Repairs: dead spots, damaged boards and water damage
- New maple gym floors: tear-out and replacement
- Game lines & logos: basketball, volleyball, pickleball and center-court art
- Gym wall padding: standard and custom printed pads
How long the gym is out of use: a screen and recoat is usually 1 day of work plus 3 to 5 days of dry time, and it is dustless. A full sand and refinish takes 8 to 10 working days plus about a week for the finish to cure, and our sanders catch about 98% of the dust.

Frequently asked questions
How often should we recoat our gym floor?
Once a year for most school gyms. A yearly screen and recoat protects the wood and keeps full sandings many years apart.
How long does a full sand and refinish take?
Plan on 8 to 10 working days plus about a week for the finish to cure. Most Hunterdon County schools book it for summer, so call in winter or early spring to get a good slot.
Can you fix a dead spot without redoing the whole floor?
Often, yes. We secure the boards, fix the spot, and blend the area in during the next recoat or sanding.
Is a screen and recoat messy?
No. A screen and recoat is dustless, and it is usually 1 day of work plus 3 to 5 days of dry time.
