Project Summary
Keystone Sports Construction recently completed a hardwood gymnasium floor screen and coat at MOT Charter High School in Middletown, Delaware.
The Client
MOT Charter School opened in 2002 as a public charter school. Its educational approach emphasizes problem-solving, creative thinking, and an intentionally small school community in Middletown.
The Challenge
The high school gymnasium needed maintenance of its existing hardwood finish. The scope focused on screening and recoating that surface as part of caring for the school’s athletic floor.
Construction Process
At MOT Charter High School, the floor maintenance began with screening the top layer of the gymnasium finish. Keystone then recoated the floor with sealer to complete the surface renewal.

FAQs
What is a gym floor screen and coat, and when is it useful? A screen and coat refreshes a hardwood floor by working on its existing finish. Light abrasion prepares that layer for a new protective coating, helping maintain the floor between full sanding and refinishing projects. The service is appropriate when the surface can be renewed without exposing bare wood or repairing deeper damage. Checking the floor beforehand helps separate ordinary finish maintenance from board repairs or other conditions that need more extensive attention.
How can routine maintenance extend the usefulness of a hardwood gym floor? A hardwood gym floor relies on both everyday care and periodic finish renewal. Cleaning and condition checks help reveal changes in the surface before wear becomes more extensive. When appropriate, a screen and coat restores the protective layer between major refinishing cycles. The condition of the boards still matters: damaged wood or moisture-related issues need evaluation in their own right. A maintenance plan should account for those findings and the way the gym is used.
