I would suggest finding out if the remodelers could do your floors in some kind of cushioning or shock-absorbing material. I remember when I helped build a playground at SUNY Buffalo. They installed a substance called Breakfall, which was a dense, pressed particle material made of rubber, under the swings, slide, and monkey bars. Not that this product would be appropriate for you, but it makes me think there might be something thin that would be suitable for interior use. Just a thought. Enjoy Spring!
