Warehouse-to-Gym Conversion: Hardwood Court Installed in Under a Week
Ryan Razooky's Hoop House in Murrieta, California, shows how an existing warehouse can become a dedicated basketball training facility. The project also demonstrates why early flooring decisions matter when opening time is a priority.
Watch the 5,000-square-foot Hoop House transformation from warehouse to basketball gym. Ryan made the conversion in under a month, with Junckers hardwood flooring taking less than a week to install.

REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
From Warehouse to Basketball Gym: Ryan Razooky's Hoop House
Ryan Razooky had already chosen Junckers hardwood flooring for his San Marcos location, so when he began planning a second Hoop House in Murrieta, the decision was an easy one. For the new 5,000-square-foot facility, the project team installed prefinished hardwood using Junckers' floating Clip System.
The flooring installation was completed in under a week, with no on-site sanding required. Every project is different, but this one is a good example of how the right floor system — paired with the building's condition and the scope of on-site work — can shape how quickly a space is ready to open.

BEFORE YOU CONVERT
What to Consider Before Converting a Warehouse
A warehouse may offer generous floor area, but square footage alone does not make it suitable for basketball. Start with the activity you intend to host, then assess whether the building can support the court layout, people, equipment, and operating conditions that follow.
Choosing Flooring for a Warehouse Basketball Court
CLIP SYSTEM | Sports flooring
Low profile, floating sports flooring system, designed for installations over all types of flat subfloors.
Classified for FIBA Level 2 and Class A3.
Since there are no nails used in the Clip System, the floor system can be taken up and reinstalled elsewhere if ever needed.
A complete sports floor system
The playing surface should be specified as part of a complete sports floor system, not as a decorative finish placed over whatever slab is already present. Existing concrete must be assessed for condition, flatness, moisture, and compatibility with the selected system. The project team should also confirm the available construction height, transitions at doors, and the requirements for game lines and graphics.
The Junckers Clip System
Junckers' Clip System is a low-profile floating sports floor system designed for flat subfloors. Its solid hardwood floorboards are joined with steel clips over a resilient sports foam layer. The correct system build-up, moisture protection, perimeter details, and installation method must be determined from the actual site conditions and current technical documentation.
What Hoop House shows
At Hoop House Murrieta, the prefinished hardwood and floating Clip System helped limit on-site finishing work. That does not mean every warehouse conversion follows the same schedule or that the system can be installed directly over any slab. Site assessment and professional installation remain essential.

Budget & timeline
Budget and Installation Timeline
Converting a warehouse into a basketball gym involves more than laying down a court — but knowing what your flooring will cost is the easiest place to start, and the fastest way to get a real number.
Use our price calculator to get an instant estimate for court materials and freight, based on your floor area and system selection. From there, we can help connect you with qualified installers in your area so you have both sides of the flooring budget — supply and installation — covered before you go further.
Once you have that starting point, it's worth mapping it against the rest of the project. A full warehouse-to-gym conversion typically also includes design and approvals, building repairs or alterations, lighting and HVAC, electrical and fire-safety work, equipment, slab preparation, installation, line marking, graphics, and site logistics.
Your flooring cost specifically depends on a few key factors: floor area, existing slab condition, the system build-up required, hardwood and finish selection, court markings, site access, labor, and your project schedule. Keeping your flooring budget separate from the wider conversion budget — while coordinating both timelines — makes it easier to plan accurately and avoid surprises.
A final, firm quote will always be based on your site's measured conditions and how the facility will be used — but the calculator gives you a solid number to build the rest of your plan around.

Planning Your Own Basketball Facility?
Bring the flooring team into the project before the building work and opening schedule are locked. Share the facility location, approximate floor area, intended activities, and target opening date. Junckers can help you identify a suitable hardwood sports floor system and the technical information needed for the next stage of planning.
