Don't wait until damage becomes visible—preventative maintenance is the key to avoiding costly repairs and replacement down the road.

When selecting vinyl flooring underlayment, subfloor type matters most. Concrete subfloors need moisture barriers to prevent dampness from reaching your vinyl. Wood subfloors benefit from underlayments that provide stability and prevent squeaking. For bedrooms or living rooms, sound-dampening underlayments reduce noise transfer. Basements require waterproof barriers to protect against moisture seepage.

Thicker underlayments (2-3mm) provide better sound insulation and comfort underfoot. However, too thick can create instability with vinyl plank flooring. While basic foam underlayments start at $0.30 per square foot, premium options with multiple benefits can cost up to $1 per square foot. We help you find the best value for your specific needs.

Sports flooring serves as the foundation for athletic performance and safety. We at Kansas City Flooring Company understand that different sports require specific flooring solutions to maximize performance while minimizing injury risk. Various types of sports flooring exist in today's market. These include:

Wooden Floors: Traditional hardwood, typically maple, used in basketball courts and gyms
Rubber Surfaces: Shock-absorbing material ideal for weight rooms and fitness areas
Vinyl Options: Durable, moisture-resistant flooring for multipurpose spaces
Synthetic Materials: Engineered surfaces designed for specific sports and activities

Each flooring type has unique characteristics that affect playability, maintenance needs, and longevity. Wooden sports floors offer excellent ball bounce but require regular sanding and refinishing to maintain their performance. Rubber and vinyl sports surfaces are more forgiving on athletes' joints while requiring less intensive maintenance routines. These options can withstand heavy foot traffic and equipment movement without showing significant wear.

Your choice of sports flooring impacts not just aesthetics but also athlete safety and performance. The right flooring reduces fatigue, prevents injuries, and enhances gameplay. Regular maintenance is crucial regardless of the flooring type you select. Proper care extends your floor's lifespan and preserves its performance characteristics over time.

Our team excels at bringing worn athletic surfaces back to life. We address common issues like surface scratches, discoloration, and general wear that affect both appearance and functionality. The restoration process begins with a thorough inspection to identify problem areas and structural concerns.

For maple gym floors, we use industry-approved refinishing techniques that strip away damaged layers before applying fresh sealants and finishes. This process not only enhances appearance but also restores the proper friction coefficient needed for safe play.

We also handle synthetic surfaces like rubber, vinyl, and polyurethane. Our specialized cleaning methods remove embedded dirt and restore proper resilience without damaging the material.

Every restoration project includes subfloor inspection and repair to address potential structural issues before they cause major problems.

Regular maintenance prevents costly replacements. Our court upkeep services include:

Deep cleaning to remove contaminants that degrade surfaces
Surface leveling to eliminate dangerous dips and high spots
Line repainting to ensure clear boundaries and proper game markings
Spot repairs for damaged areas without full refinishing

For basketball courts, we focus on maintaining consistent ball bounce and proper traction. Volleyball courts receive special attention to impact absorption and line visibility.

We recommend quarterly maintenance inspections for high-use facilities. This proactive approach identifies small issues before they require extensive repairs.

Our technicians are trained in sport-specific requirements, ensuring your courts meet official regulations for competition.

Every sports facility has unique needs based on usage patterns, budgets, and sport requirements. We develop tailored maintenance plans that consider all these factors. For multi-purpose gym floors, we implement specialized protection protocols during transitions between activities. This includes proper floor covering installation and removal techniques to prevent damage.

We offer maintenance training for your staff to handle day-to-day care properly. This includes appropriate cleaning methods, spill response, and basic inspection practices. For facilities with limited maintenance windows, we provide expedited service options that work around your schedule.

Our weekend and overnight services minimize disruption to your normal operations. All our solutions use environmentally friendly products that maintain indoor air quality—essential for athletic performance and health.
