How we gave a local school a new gym floor!
If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to completely transform a high school gym floor, let us introduce you to the makeover at a local high school. What started as a water-damaged hardwood floor turned into one of our most rewarding projects to date!
The existing floor had suffered water damage that just couldn’t be salvaged. Once we removed it, we discovered the subfloor was… let’s just say, less than level. So the first step was some serious prep work: levelling the substrate to create a solid foundation.
Next came the sleeper system and subfloor installation—a crucial step to make sure the new maple hardwood would be stable, safe, and squeak-free (nobody likes a noisy gym). Once that was in place, we installed fresh maple hardwood throughout the gym and finished it off with a slick, durable coating. And yes, that brand-new logo at centre court? We made sure it looked crisp and bold. Go Thunder!
But it wasn’t just the floor that got attention—we also relocated all the basketball hoops and carefully uninstalled and reinstalled the bleacher set. (No small task, but we’ve got the muscle and the know-how.)
Now, Rutland Secondary has a gym floor that’s game-day ready—whether it’s for a buzzer-beating basketball match, a school assembly, or dodgeball (you’re never too old for that).
