FAQs
How long does a repair or resurface project take?
Completion time varies depending on the extent of repair, the size of the area, the number of coatings, and other variables. Resurfacing also requires several days of dry and mild weather. The average amount of time for a 3-coat system is 4-5 business days. However, if you are installing a new net system or basketball hoop, this will add an additional 4-5 business days to the entire project.
How much does a resurfacing project cost?
Costs vary based on the extent of repairs, the size of the court, the number of coatings, and whether or not you need to install fixtures like net posts, basketball hoops, or fencing. We are happy to provide a preliminary price per square foot estimate but we will only provide an official estimate after visiting the court in person.
How much does hoop or net replacement cost?
The cost of a hoop or net replacement can only be estimated in person due to a number of variables. For example, having to replace a previously installed basketball hoop requires cutting and excavating the existing concrete. This adds more time and cost to a project than installing a new hoop without replacing the old one.
What different surfacing options do you offer?
We offer 2-coat, 3-coat, and 4-coat solutions for resurfacing. You can read more about these offerings here.
Does resurfacing add value to my home?
Tennis courts are considered a luxury that add value to your home, but not if they’re in terrible shape. In some real estate markets, such as Los Angeles, backyard courts provide a passive income opportunity for homeowners that are willing to rent their court to local coaches.
Is it possible to touch up small areas or lines on a court?
This kind of work is possible but not recommended in most cases. Even though touchups may be budget friendly, you will see a noticeable difference between the patch and the original surface materials. If your court has not been surfaced in years, the old paint will be much less vibrant than a fresh coat.
How much space do I need for a pickleball or half-basketball court?
The interior dimensions of a pickleball court are 44’ L x 20’ W, and a competition standard court usually measures 60’x 30.’ While the interior dimensions should be the same for all courts, casual home players may find that a 50’ x 25’ area is sufficient.
The interior dimensions of a half-basketball court are 42’ L x 50’ W, and a competition standard court usually measures 50’ x 60.’ In reality, most backyard basketball courts can be modified to the available space. To install a 3-point line, you’ll want at least 30 feet of room from the base of the hoop.
How should I prepare my court for repairs or resurfacing?
We kindly ask that you tend to the following concerns before we start:
1. Check for drainage issues. If you have drains, grates, or gutters near the court, please make sure they are not clogged.
2. Shut off sprinklers near the court. The court must remain dry at least 24-hours prior to the first coating and at least 24-hours after the job is complete.
3. Trim foliage/ trees near the court. We will need to access the maximum boundary of the court and will also need to make sure that debris doesn’t fall on the court while the surface materials are drying.
4. Clear a parking and unloading area for the crew. If possible, the crew will use a dolly to move large quantities of surfacing materials to the court.
