American Sport Floors Inc

From basketball to ballet — that is how American Sport Floors describes its own range, and it is a fair summary of a company that works on gymnasium floors rather than living-room ones. The Rockland outfit installs, sands, refinishes and maintains wood, synthetic and rubber athletic surfaces, and paints the game lines and center-court logos that go with them. A 2008 newspaper profile described it installing and refurbishing gym floors each year at schools and universities across New England, and said John Carbone founded it in 1992. Anthony Carbone is listed as vice president, and the company appears on the Maple Flooring Manufacturers Association roster as a sport floor contractor covering Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire and Rhode Island. It also carries Robbins Mill accreditation and lists Robbins Sports Surfaces as a partner. The public review trail is almost nonexistent — three Google ratings averaging five stars and a single written comment. There is no volume of customer accounts here to judge the work by, and that is worth knowing before you weigh those stars. The practical point: this is a specialist for gyms, field houses, dance studios and similar athletic spaces, and it appears as a registered vendor on the Massachusetts state purchasing system, which fits an institutional client base. If you are a school, club or facility manager with a court to install or refinish, ask for recent school references and confirm the Robbins system and warranty terms in writing. If you are a homeowner looking for hardwood in a house, this is not the kind of flooring company you are after.
