Why Choose Us

Why Fort Lauderdale Sports Courts?

Coordinating base prep, surfacing, fencing, and lighting through one written scope removes the gaps that cause cost overruns and callbacks.

Ground Assessed Before Any Number Is Written

Every enquiry starts with an on-site drainage and sub-base evaluation, not a phone estimate based on square footage alone.

No Verbal-Only Agreements

The full scope is confirmed in writing before any work is scheduled, so nothing is added on-site without your prior approval.

Line-Item Estimates, Not Lump Sums

Base preparation, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking are listed as separate line items so you see exactly what each cost covers.

Broward Drainage Conditions Understood

Local builders familiar with Broward County’s high water table and HOA design review requirements handle the on-site work.

Final Walkthrough Before Sign-Off

You inspect line marking, surface finish, and drainage with the crew present, before the job is closed out, not after payment clears.

Common Failures

What Goes Wrong & How to Avoid It

Each failure below comes from skipping a specific step, the on-site evaluation catches all of them before work begins.

Pooling After Rain

A court built without a confirmed drainage slope traps water on the surface, softening the base and accelerating crack formation through Broward’s rainy season.

Graded Sub-Base First

The on-site evaluation confirms drainage direction and slope before any excavation begins, so water moves off the surface from day one.

Peeling Acrylic Coat

Acrylic color coating applied before the concrete base has fully cured loses adhesion quickly under South Florida UV and humidity, peeling within one or two seasons.

Cure Interval Confirmed

Surface coating is scheduled only after the base has reached the required cure interval, so the acrylic bonds correctly and holds its color under heavy UV exposure.

Recurring Cracks

Patching visible cracks without fixing the underlying drainage failure means the same cracks reopen after the next heavy rain, turning a repair into a rebuild.

Root-Cause Assessment

An on-site surface inspection identifies whether cracking stems from drainage, base failure, or surface wear before any repair work is quoted or scheduled.

Misaligned Post Footings

Fencing and lighting installed without coordinating pole placement to the court layout forces post footings into playing clearance zones, reducing usable court space.

Lighting & Fencing Paired

Pole placement, post footings, and conduit runs are planned against the court layout from the start so no footing conflicts with a playing clearance or sight line.

Common Questions

Questions About Getting a Court Built

Do I need a permit to build a basketball court in my backyard?

In most cases, yes, Fort Lauderdale and Broward County municipalities require a permit for permanent outdoor court construction, including grading, base work, and any fencing or lighting. Requirements vary by lot size, setbacks, and HOA rules. Our partners confirm local permit requirements during the on-site evaluation before any work begins.

Why does a court site need grading before the build?

Grading moves water away from the court instead of letting it pool on the surface. It also creates a stable, level base so the surface is less likely to shift, settle, or crack over time. In Broward County, where the water table is high and summer storms are heavy, correct drainage slope is a structural requirement, not an optional step.

How do I know if the court needs repairs or a full resurfacing?

Small cracks, faded lines, and light surface wear often point to targeted repairs. Widespread peeling, repeated pooling after rain, or an uneven base usually mean the full surface needs attention. An on-site inspection identifies the root cause before any repair work is quoted, so the estimate addresses the actual problem.

Do I need a permit to build a sports court in my backyard?

Permits are more likely when the project includes concrete work, drainage changes, lighting, or fencing. Local rules in Broward County vary by municipality, and HOA communities may also require a design review. The on-site evaluation covers what approvals apply to your specific site before any work is scheduled.

What happens if I delay resurfacing a cracked court?

Small cracks spread into the base layer when water gets underneath and the sub-base softens. What starts as a resurfacing job becomes a base rebuild, which costs significantly more. Broward’s rainy season accelerates this, water enters the crack, expands, and widens the damage with each storm cycle.

Will the written estimate cover everything, or will costs be added later?

The itemised estimate lists base preparation, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking as separate line items. No work is scheduled until you have reviewed and agreed to the full written scope. There is no verbal-only agreement, scope changes after sign-off require a written update before any additional work begins.
