MAPLE SPORT FLOORS · FAIRLANE · COURTS, GYMS & STUDIOS SINCE 2004

Fifty feet of maple, dead straight, every line true.

Courtcraft lays and resurfaces sport floors — school gyms, club courts, church rec halls and dance studios. Maple to spec, lines to the rulebook, and a finish chosen for the sport actually played on it. Spring resurfacing books out by Valentine’s Day; new courts run a season ahead.

The three trades in one

What we lay, resurface and re-line

01

New maple courts

Sleeper or floating systems to the use under them — school gym, club volleyball, church rec hall. Maple graded for sport, laid with seasonal gaps left honest, sanded to one plane and lined to the rulebook your league actually reads.

02

Resurfacing, the annual question

Screen, recoat and re-line for floors that are tired, not dead — one week of summer, lines back to legal, and two more seasons bought before the big sand is due. We tell schools honestly which of the two their floor needs; the big sand costs triple.

03

Studio & stage floors

Sprung systems under dance maple, stage floors finished for silence underfoot, practice rooms lined for the sport the space actually hosts. The rulebook differs; the straightness does not.

The line is the product

A three-point arc painted by eye is a lawsuit with a nice curve. We snap every line, measure every arc from the pin the rulebook names, and certify the layout in writing — the certificate your athletic association asks for is issued from our measurements, not estimated from a photograph.

Sanding a gym floor

The sand decides the finish

Gym floors are sanded in one pass, diagonally first, dead flat — a drum mark on a sport floor telegraphs through finish and through ankles. Our rigs extract through HEPA so the bleachers and the trophy case stay clean enough for the season-opening photo.

Process

A new court, season by season

From first measure to first tip-off, most school courts run a school year — timed so the floor cures over summer break and the lines dry before tryouts.

  1. Autumn

    Measure & spec

    The gym measured, the use profiled — eighth-grade PE and varsity basketball are different floors — and the system specified, budgeted and board-approved.

  2. Winter

    Subfloor & maple

    Sleepers or floating system installed over the break, maple delivered to acclimate in the gym itself, then nailed with seasonal gaps left honest.

  3. Spring

    Sand & finish

    One diagonal pass, dead flat; two coats of sport finish cured slowly. The gym smells like a gym again by May.

  4. Summer

    Lines & certification

    Every line snapped, every arc measured from the pin, the layout certified in writing — and the floor ready for the first practice of the year.

Courtcraft resurfaced our gym in the first week of summer and the eighth graders noticed the lines before the lights. Two seasons later it still plays true and wipes down like new.
Ellen Okafor · Athletic director, Fairlane Middle
The sanctioning inspector measured our arc, looked at the certificate, and measured again for fun. He left without a word, which in inspector language is a standing ovation.
Coach D. Reyes · Riverview Volleyball Club
They told us our floor needed the screen-and-recoat, not the big sand, and priced the cheaper job first. The big sand is now two seasons away instead of last summer — that is honesty with a budget attached.

Lines certified, seasons guaranteed

Every layout we paint is measured and certified in writing — league-sanctioned, end to end, at the eighth-of-an-inch tolerance the rulebook names. The finish is guaranteed three seasons of play; the maple, for the life of the system.

Screen-and-recoat or the big sand — how do we know which?

We measure wear through the finish, not across it: a gauge tells us how much coating is left. Above four mils, a screen and recoat buys two seasons for a third of the cost. At bare wood, the big sand is the honest answer — and delaying it costs the maple, not just the shine.

Can you match another sport’s layout on the same floor?

Yes — volleyball and basketball, pickleball lines over a gym, futsal markings for rec halls. Multi-sport layouts are drawn with break lines and shared anchors so neither game reads as the other’s guest. The certification covers every layout painted.

How long must the gym close?

Resurfacing runs one week, timed to a break. New courts cure over a summer. We schedule around your calendar’s quiet weeks rather than ours — spring resurfacing books out precisely because every school wants the same two weeks.

Do you do anything besides courts?

Stages, dance studios, community halls, the odd basement pickle court with genuine aspirations. The rulebook changes; the straightness, the sanding and the certification do not.
