Typical Vermont Gym Floor Projects
Most Vermont schools schedule gym floor work for the summer so the gym is ready for the new school year. We check the floor and recommend a screen and recoat, a full sanding and refinishing, or a new hardwood floor. We design your game lines for basketball, volleyball and badminton and your mascot artwork with you, and plan the work to fit your budget and schedule.
