Common Gym Flooring Services We Provide
Gym floors rarely fail all at once. Wear, traction changes, fading lines, and surface damage usually show up first. Catching those signs early can help protect the floor, improve safety, and prevent a small maintenance issue from becoming a full restoration project.
Gym floors require different services throughout their life. From routine maintenance and recoating to repairs, court graphics, and complete restoration, we provide professional gym flooring services for schools, athletic facilities, and multi-use courts.
Gym Floor Sanding & Refinishing
We restore heavily worn gym floors by removing the old finish, professionally sanding the wood, and applying new athletic-grade finishes for renewed appearance, protection, and performance.
Gym Floor Recoating
When the wood is still in good condition, a maintenance coat can renew the protective finish without full sanding, helping extend the life of the floor.
Court Striping & Re-Striping
Precise layout and application of basketball, volleyball, and multi-sport game lines, whether we're restoring existing markings or creating a new court layout.
Custom Logo Painting
Add or restore school logos, team branding, lettering, and custom court graphics with detailed application that's protected within the finished floor system.
Full Gym Floor Restoration
For heavily worn, damaged, or outdated floors, we can complete a comprehensive restoration to renew the wood, markings, appearance, and protective finish.
Gym Floor Repairs & Board Replacement
Damaged boards and localized problem areas can be repaired or replaced and integrated into the surrounding floor for consistent appearance and performance.
Large facility? No problem. We have the equipment and experience to handle large gymnasiums, multi-court layouts, and complete athletic facilities.

Our services can be tailored to the condition of the floor, the activities it supports, and the appearance and performance your facility needs.

How It Works
Gym Floor Refinishing Process
Every gym floor has different needs depending on its age, condition, existing finish, court layout, and how the facility is used. We evaluate the floor first, prepare it properly, and complete the work needed to restore its appearance, protection, and performance.
Evaluation
We inspect the existing finish, wood condition, damaged areas, game lines, logos, and overall wear to determine whether the floor needs recoating, repairs, or complete sanding and refinishing.
Prepare & Restore
Depending on the project, we screen or sand the floor, make necessary repairs, remove worn finishes, and prepare the wood for new coatings, court markings, and graphics.
Finish & Protect
We apply the appropriate athletic-grade finish and complete any required court striping, logos, or graphics to create a durable, professional surface ready for years of continued use.

What Our Customer's Are Saying
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should a gym floor be refinished?
Most gym floors require a full sand and refinish every 8–12 years, depending on usage, with annual or periodic recoats in between to maintain protection and performance.
What’s the difference between a recoat and a full refinish?
A recoat adds a new layer of finish over the existing surface to extend its life. A full refinish involves sanding the floor down to bare wood and rebuilding the finish system from scratch. The right option depends on the condition of your current floor.
How long will our gym be out of service?
Project timelines vary based on the scope, but most gym floor projects require several days to complete, including proper drying and curing time. We plan scheduling carefully to minimize disruption while ensuring long-term results.
Can you repaint game lines and logos?
Yes — we handle full court striping, re-striping, and custom logo painting. Whether you’re restoring existing markings or updating your layout, we ensure clean, accurate, and durable results.
Will the new finish be slippery?
No. Gym floor finishes are designed to provide balanced traction — not too slick and not too sticky. Proper application is critical to achieving a surface that is safe and performs correctly during play.
Do you work with schools and large facilities?
Yes — we regularly work with schools, athletic programs, churches, and commercial facilities, including larger gymnasiums and multi-court spaces.
What happens if our floor has damage or worn areas?
We can assess the condition of your floor and recommend the right solution — whether that’s targeted repairs, board replacement, recoating, or full refinishing.
When is the best time to schedule gym floor work?
Most facilities schedule work during off-seasons, school breaks, or planned downtime. Booking early helps ensure your project is completed on time and ready for use when you need it.
