Our Services

Our basketball court refinishing process begins with thorough inspection and assessment of your existing floor. We carefully sand the surface to remove old finish, scratches, and imperfections that have accumulated over time.


This multi-step process includes up to four sanding passes using progressively finer grits to ensure a perfectly smooth foundation. We then apply industry-leading polyurethane coatings designed specifically for high-traffic athletic environments.

Expert Maintenance Tips for Your Gym Floors

Maintaining gym floors requires consistent attention and the right techniques to ensure longevity and optimal performance. Proper care not only preserves the aesthetic appeal but also guarantees safety for all users.

(01)

Regular Cleaning Regime


Daily maintenance forms the foundation of gym floor care. We recommend sweeping or dust-mopping the entire floor surface daily to remove dirt and debris that can scratch and damage the finish.


Weekly cleaning should include a more thorough approach using pH-neutral cleaners specifically designed for gym floors. Avoid generic household cleaners as they can damage the finish or leave residue.

(02)


Gym floors benefit from professional attention at least twice yearly. We typically recommend scheduling comprehensive resurfacing assessments before and after heavy-use seasons.


Summer breaks provide an ideal opportunity for more intensive refinishing work when facilities see reduced traffic. This timing minimizes disruption to regular activities.

Seasonal Resurfacing Recommendation

(03)

Entrance mats serve as your first line of defense. We recommend installing quality walk-off mats at all entry points to capture dirt, moisture, and debris before they reach the gym floor.


Implement strict rules about proper footwear. Athletic shoes with non-marking soles should be the only footwear permitted on the playing surface.

Preventive Measures for Longevity

(04)

Importance of Professional Assessments


Annual professional inspections help identify potential issues before they become major problems. We look for early signs of wear, moisture damage, or structural concerns.


Expert technicians can spot subtle changes in floor performance that might escape untrained eyes. Slippery spots, dead spots, or uneven surfaces require prompt attention.
