Hello everyone, today we are going to talk about something. Do you want to know how much it costs to lay a basketball court floor? Don’t worry, there are some tricks here. Grandma will talk to you today.

First of all, let’s talk about the materials of basketball court floors. Generally, the most common and durable floor material is maple flooring. This kind of wood is good, and it is smooth and stable when playing basketball. The top basketball courts in the NBA all use maple floors, and they want to ensure the best playing experience. If we want to lay floors in ordinary gyms, maple is also a good choice.

How much does it cost specifically? It depends on the size of the venue and the quality of the materials. Let’s talk about an ordinary full-size basketball court, which is 94 feet long and 50 feet wide, about 4,700 square feet. This piece of flooring is estimated to cost tens of thousands of dollars.

According to the current market price, the installation cost of maple flooring is about $3 to $8 per square foot. Therefore, if it is a full-size venue, the general material cost and labor cost are estimated to be at least $15,000 to $40,000. Of course, the price may fluctuate depending on the type and brand of flooring.

Let’s talk about the installation cost. Laying basketball flooring is not an easy job, and it needs to be done by professionals. These professionals not only have to lay the floor, but also have to level it and do some polishing to make the floor surface smooth and beautiful. I heard that most installation companies will charge an installation fee, which is generally between $3 and $5 per square foot. In this way, the installation fee of a standard basketball court will be around $14,000 to $23,000.

In addition to the cost of laying the floor, the floor needs to be renovated every few years. Renovation means grinding, repairing, and applying a layer of protective paint. This is generally not cheap, usually $1 to $2 per square foot. Based on 4,700 square feet, it is estimated that it will cost several thousand dollars.

However, different floor materials and laying methods will also have different prices. For example, some places use laminate flooring, which is cheaper than maple, but less durable. If it is not often used and is only used in ordinary gyms, it is okay, but if it is used for competition, it is recommended to use maple.

Maple flooring: $3-8 per square foot, good performance, suitable for competition.
Laminated flooring: $2-5 per square foot, suitable for ordinary gyms.
Installation cost: $3-5 per square foot, requires professional installation.
Renovation cost: $1-2 per square foot, and needs to be re-sanded and painted every few years.

One more thing to mention, pay attention to the storage of materials after buying them, and don’t put them in a damp place casually. Especially maple flooring, if it is accidentally damp or deformed, it will be a waste of money. So, find a good place to put it, and take it out when the master comes to install it.

Well, that’s all for today! I hope this information can help you have an idea of ​​the price of basketball court flooring, so that you will have a good idea when you really want to lay it. In terms of cost, you can choose according to different budgets and needs. Remember to compare more and choose a cost-effective and suitable material.
