COURT RESURFACING FAQs
You should consider resurfacing when you observe any of he following critical indicators:
- Loss of traction: If the court feels slippery, especially when moist, the sand texture embedded in the surface has worn away, creating a safety hazard.
- Color fading: The surface appears dull, patching, or chalky due to UV degradation. While cosmetic, this is a sign that the protective coating is failing.
- Cracking or Flaking: widespread cracks or areas where the surface material is peeling or bubbling indicate the binding agents are breaking down.
- Standing water: these can be corrected before resurfacing.
Most resurfacing projects take 4-6 days, depending on court size and weather. Larger courts, multiple courts, or courts with significant repairs may require additional time.
- The new surface typically requires a curing time of 24-48 hours after the final coat and lines are applied before it can be used for play.
A properly resurfaced court typically lasts 5-8 years in Bay Area conditions, depending on usage, shade, drainage, and maintenance.
Yes, cracks should be professionally repaired before surfacing for best results. While no crack repair method can guarantee zero future movement, premium acrylic systems significantly reduce visibility and extend court life. If you have concrete with control joints, those will need to be filled before resurfacing.
Resurfacing is ideal when the slab or asphalt is structurally sound but the surface is worn, faded, or developing minor cracks or low spots. It restores the top layers of acrylic, refreshes the color, and protects the courts for several more years.
You may need a full replacement if the slab has major structural cracking, large sections are heaving or sinking, or the base was poorly constructed. In the Bay Area, about 90% of courts can be resurfaced as opposed to replaced.
We install premium acrylic sports surfacing systems designed for consistent bounce, traction, UV resistance, and long term durability. These systems outperform tile and other synthetic alternatives in Bay Area weather. We can discuss options for cushioned surfaces if desired.
Resurfacing uses multiple layers of acrylic coating mixed with graded sand – the system that provides traction, color depth, and long term durability. Repainting is simply applying colored paint and offers none of those performance layers.
We can fix most cracks by filling them and installing an optional crack membrane. However, major structural cracks may require more extensive sub base repair or reconstruction. If the damage is extensive, the court may need to be demolished and rebuilt.
Yes, many clients choose updated color schemes, contrast zones, and custom line combinations. We handle line layout, taping, and precision placement.
- Standard net posts. These are your traditional 3′ tall net posts, available in either green or black. They are in ground posts which are secured with a concrete footing.
- Height adjustable net posts. These net posts are 10′ tall, and are height adjustable for other sports like volleyball and badminton. These posts are available in black. These are in ground posts which are secured with a concrete footing.
- Ground sleeves – available for both standard and height adjustable net posts, this allows you to remove the posts when not in use.
The ideal resurfacing window is March through November, when temperature and curing conditions are optimal. Winter projects are possible but require specific temperature and humidity conditions.
Costs vary depending on court size, repairs, and surface conditions. Cost depends on the size of the court, repairs needed, and number of colors. If there are control joints that need to be filled, or net posts or hoops that need to be installed, that will also add to the cost.
The process first involves cleaning the surface and removing dirt from the cracks. If the base is new concrete, it will need to be acid etched, and afterwards we will apply a concrete primer. We then apply one or more acrylic resurfacer coats to level the base. Next we apply two coats of color, and then paint the court lines.
Preparing your court is simple. Before your resurfacing date:
- Clear the court. Remove any furniture, nets, ball machines, or portable hoops.
- Trim vegetation. If trees or shrubs overhang the court, trim them back so they don’t drip sap or debris onto fresh coatings.
- Ensure water access and parking. We need access to a hose for cleaning and enough driveway or street space for work vehicles.
- Protect pets and foot traffic. Keep pets and children off the court during and after resurfacing until we confirm it’s ready for use.
