We specialize in assisting schools of all sizes with their sports floor projects. Since 1985, we have installed over 150 gymnasium floors, as well as sanded and refinished many more. As one can image, we’ve about seen it all! A significant number of these projects involve installing wood flooring over old tile in existing gymnasiums. Every flooring project has unique requirements that require special attention and know-how to achieve an ideal end result.
Here is a basic overview of some of the many services we can provide to meet any school’s sports floor project requirements.

We install and service sports floors in a general area that includes:
