Let’s dive deeper into each of these services…
Installation service: building the foundation for athletic excellence
Installing a hardwood gym floor is more than just laying down boards. It’s a complex process that requires expertise, precision, and the right materials. Here’s how we approach hardwood gym floor installation:
Site assessment and planning
Before we even think about installation, we conduct a thorough site assessment. We evaluate the subfloor, check moisture levels, and discuss your specific needs and preferences. This crucial step allows us to create a tailored installation plan that ensures the best possible outcome.
Subfloor preparation
A great hardwood floor starts with a properly prepared subfloor. We’ll address any issues with the concrete slab, install a moisture barrier if necessary, and ensure the surface is perfectly level. This attention to detail prevents future problems and extends the life of your floor.
Wood selection
We primarily use maple for our hardwood gym floors due to its durability and performance characteristics. We install and refinish maple, the standard for gym floors. We’ll help you choose the best wood for your needs and budget.
Installation process
Our skilled technicians use advanced installation methods to ensure a perfectly level and secure floor. We pay attention to every detail, from the proper spacing between boards to the precise nailing pattern.
Finishing and line marking
Once the wood is down, we apply multiple coats of high-quality finish to protect your floor and enhance its appearance. Then, we’ll add game lines and any custom graphics or logos you desire, using durable paint that can withstand years of use.
Refinishing service: restoring your floor’s glory
- Maple sanding & refinishing since 2001
- 50,000+ projects completed
- Custom logos & game lines
- Dustless screen & recoat
Even the best-maintained hardwood gym floors eventually need refinishing. Our refinishing service can restore your floor’s beauty and functionality, often at a fraction of the cost of a new installation.
When to refinish
Signs that your floor may need refinishing include visible wear in high-traffic areas, dull or cloudy finish, uneven coloration, and difficulty keeping the floor clean. We can assess your floor and help you determine if refinishing is the right choice.
Our refinishing process
- Thorough cleaning and preparation of the floor
- Sanding to remove the old finish and smooth out imperfections
- Careful vacuuming and tack-cloth cleaning to remove all dust
- Application of new finish in multiple coats
- Repainting of game lines and logos
Dust control
Our sanding equipment captures about 98% of the dust created during a full sand. There will still be some dust, so plan for it. Our screen and recoat system is completely dustless.
Finishing options
We offer various finishes. Each has its own advantages. We’ll help you choose the best option for your needs.
Game line and logo repainting
We use specialized, durable paints for game lines and logos to ensure they remain vibrant and accurate for years to come. We can replicate your existing design or work with you to create a new look.
Repair service: addressing issues big and small
Accidents happen, and over time, even well-maintained floors can develop issues. Our repair services can address a wide range of problems to keep your floor safe and looking great.
Types of repairs we offer
- Board replacement
- Water damage restoration
- Structural repairs
- Addressing warping and buckling
Board replacement
For isolated areas of damage, we can replace individual boards or sections of your floor. We carefully match the new wood to your existing floor for a seamless repair.
Water damage restoration
Water is the enemy of hardwood floors. If your floor has suffered water damage, we have specialized techniques to mitigate the damage and restore your floor. Quick action is crucial, so don’t hesitate to call us at the first sign of water damage.
Structural repairs
In cases of more serious damage, such as subfloor issues or extensive warping, we can perform structural repairs. This might involve removing a section of the floor, addressing underlying issues, and then reinstalling and refinishing the affected area.
Addressing warping and buckling
Warping and buckling can occur due to moisture issues or structural problems. We can often correct these issues without needing to replace the entire floor, saving you time and money.
Maintenance service: preserving your investment
- Recoat: 1 day of work + 3–5 days to dry
- 20+ years on gym floors
- Built to MFMA standards
- Schools, colleges, clubs & home gyms
Regular maintenance is key to extending the life of your hardwood gym floor and keeping it looking its best. Our maintenance services are designed to protect your investment and prevent small issues from becoming big problems.
Importance of regular maintenance
Regular maintenance not only keeps your floor looking great but also helps identify and address potential issues before they become serious problems. It can significantly extend the life of your floor and reduce long-term costs.
Screening and recoating
For floors that aren’t quite ready for a full refinish, we offer screening and recoating services. This involves lightly abrading the existing finish and applying a new coat. It’s a great way to refresh your floor’s appearance and extend the time between full refinishes.
Deep cleaning services
Our deep cleaning service goes beyond routine cleaning to remove built-up dirt and grime that can damage your floor over time. We use specialized equipment and cleaning solutions that are tough on dirt but gentle on your floor’s finish.
Annual inspections
We recommend annual professional inspections to catch and address small issues before they become big problems. Our experts will thoroughly examine your floor and provide a detailed report of its condition, along with recommendations for any necessary maintenance or repairs.
Customized maintenance plans
Every floor is unique, and so are its maintenance needs. We can develop a custom maintenance plan tailored to your specific floor, usage patterns, and budget. This ensures your floor receives the right care at the right time.
Customization service: making your floor uniquely yours
Your gym floor is more than just a playing surface – it’s a reflection of your school or organization’s identity. Our customization services allow you to create a truly unique floor that showcases your brand and spirit.
Custom logo design and installation
Our in-house designers can create custom logos that perfectly represent your school or organization. We use specialized techniques to ensure your logo looks great and stands up to years of use.
Multi-sport line marking
We can apply accurate, regulation-compliant line markings for multiple sports, allowing your gym to host a variety of activities. Our experienced painters ensure crisp, clean lines that meet all relevant standards.
Color customization options
Want to incorporate your school colors into your floor design? We can create custom stains and color schemes to match your vision, from subtle tints to bold, eye-catching designs.
Specialty designs and patterns
From parquet designs to alternating wood tones, we can create a wide range of specialty designs and patterns. Let your imagination run wild – we have the skills to bring your vision to life.
