Why Us

Hardwood courts planned around subfloor conditions and facility schedules

Arizona gymnasiums need hardwood floors that play evenly, finish smoothly, and hold up under daily use. These three issues delay projects or create problems after installation.

Common Challenges

Subfloor not ready for hardwood
Uneven concrete or moisture issues cause cupping, gaps, or squeaking after installation
Floor does not finish smoothly
Poor sanding or sealing leaves rough patches, uneven sheen, or soft spots that wear quickly
Game lines painted incorrectly
Inaccurate court dimensions or misaligned lines create confusion during play and look unprofessional

FAQ

Common questions about indoor hardwood sports courts in Arizona

Northern hard maple is the standard for gymnasium floors. MFMA-grade maple meets Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association standards for shock absorption, durability, and consistent grain. Some facilities use beech or ash for specific applications, but maple is the most common choice for basketball, volleyball, and multipurpose courts.

Yes. Concrete subfloors must be flat within 1/8 inch over 10 feet and have moisture levels under 12% measured with calcium chloride tests. Uneven subfloors are ground or leveled. High moisture causes cupping, gaps, and board movement after installation. Proper preparation prevents these issues.

A typical gymnasium floor takes 2-4 weeks depending on size, subfloor condition, and game line complexity. Subfloor preparation and moisture testing happen first. Hardwood installation, sanding, and sealing follow. Game lines are painted before the final polyurethane coat. Facilities can schedule work during breaks to minimize disruption.

Worn finishes expose bare wood to moisture and dirt, causing staining, cupping, and splinters. Deep scratches and dents create uneven play areas and increase injury risk. Delaying replacement or refinishing can require full sanding or board replacement instead of screening and recoating, which costs 3-5 times more.

Yes. Multi-sport layouts include basketball, volleyball, badminton, and pickleball lines painted in different colors. Court dimensions follow NCAA, NFHS, or USAV standards depending on the sport. Lines are applied after sanding and before the final polyurethane coat so they are sealed and protected.

Daily dust mopping and damp cleaning keep the surface clean. Screening and recoating are recommended every 3-5 years depending on use. Full refinishing happens every 10-15 years when the finish is worn through or deep scratches appear. Regular maintenance extends floor life and prevents costly repairs.
