Services
Athletic Flooring Installation
We design and install custom wood and synthetic athletic flooring systems for gyms, courts, and multi-purpose facilities. Our solutions incorporate safety standards, shock absorption, and climate adaptability. Using ISO-certified Connor Sports Flooring products, we ensure durability for high-impact environments while offering customization through logos, colors, and patterns.
Gym Floor Maintenance
Our maintenance programs include annual screening and recoating to preserve traction and appearance, with optional lifetime warranties. We apply MFMA-approved finishes to prevent wear, using non-abrasive cleaning methods that extend floor lifespan while maintaining compliance with athletic safety regulations.
Wood Floor Refinishing
We restore aged wood floors through sanding, sealing, and finishing, addressing cupping, cracks, or dead spots. Our process includes subfloor repairs and custom paint designs, ensuring surfaces meet performance standards for ball bounce and athlete safety while updating aesthetics.
Synthetic Flooring Solutions
We install low-maintenance synthetic systems like rubber, vinyl, and cushioned surfaces ideal for heavy-use facilities. These floors provide shock absorption, moisture resistance, and customizable branding options, suitable for basketball courts, fitness centers, and childcare areas requiring durable, slip-resistant surfaces.
Water Damage Restoration
Our emergency response team addresses water-damaged floors, coordinating with insurers to assess and repair warping or buckling. We use industrial drying equipment and replace compromised materials, restoring structural integrity while minimizing facility downtime for schools and athletic organizations.

Report
As director of Athletics and Recreation from 2001 to 2018. I highly recommend Sports Floors Inc. They ARE very good in what they do. They rescreened our floor every year.
