HOA communities, apartment complexes, and school campuses put courts through far more daily use than a single-family install. That load accelerates surface wear and exposes any weakness in the base or drainage layout. A surface condition inspection comes first to determine whether crack repair and resurfacing will hold, or whether the base needs to be addressed before a coating is applied.
Patching over a failed sub-base or a drainage problem that causes standing water will crack again within a season. When the inspection finds base movement or pooling, the written estimate covers the underlying fix alongside the surface work. Acrylic coating is applied only after the slab and drainage are confirmed sound, so the finished surface does not inherit the same failure.
Multipurpose court markings for basketball, pickleball, and volleyball can share one surface with color-coded line striping. Net posts, perimeter fencing, and light poles are scoped as part of the same project so footings and conduit runs are coordinated with the court layout from the start, avoiding conflicts with the finished slab.

Itemised Estimate, No Bundled Pricing
Base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking appear as separate line items so nothing is hidden.
Final Walkthrough Sign-Off
No job is closed until a final walkthrough confirms the surface, markings, and drainage meet the agreed scope.
Broward County Site Knowledge
We connect properties with local court builders who know Broward’s water table and HOA design review requirements.
Resurfacing & Full Rebuild Both Available
The inspection result drives the recommendation, not a preference for the higher-cost option.
How do I know if my court needs resurfacing or a full rebuild?
Surface cracks, standing water, and faded lines usually mean resurfacing is enough. If the base layer has shifted, heaved, or crumbled beneath the surface, a full rebuild is the safer call. An on-site evaluation checks both layers before any recommendation is made, so you are not paying for more work than the court actually needs.
What types of courts can be built for an HOA or school?
Tennis, basketball, pickleball, and multi-sport courts are all available for HOA and school sites. Multi-sport layouts are common for schools because one surface can serve several programs. The right type depends on your available space, resident or student demand, and budget, all of which are reviewed during the on-site evaluation.
Can one court be used for more than one sport?
Yes. A multi-sport court uses overlapping line sets and shared net posts so one surface handles basketball, pickleball, volleyball, and more. Color-coded lines keep each game’s boundaries clear. This approach suits HOAs and schools that need to serve multiple groups without building separate courts for each sport.
Will a new court hold up to heavy daily use from students or residents?
Yes, when the base is built correctly. A properly compacted aggregate base under an acrylic or cushioned surface resists cracking under constant foot traffic. Cutting corners on base depth is the most common reason courts deteriorate early, which is why base preparation is itemised separately in every written estimate.
How much maintenance will the new court need?
A well-built court typically needs a pressure wash and visual inspection once or twice a year, plus crack sealing and a resurfacing coat every several years depending on use volume. Resurfacing and repair work is available when that time comes, keeping ongoing costs predictable rather than letting small issues grow into base-level damage.
How well does the court surface handle rain and drainage?
Drainage is assessed during the on-site evaluation before any work begins. The base is graded to carry water off the playing surface quickly, which matters especially in Fort Lauderdale’s heavy summer rain season. A court that drains poorly becomes a safety hazard and deteriorates faster, so slope and drainage planning are built into every project.
Will the layout fit the space we have available?
The on-site evaluation measures the usable footprint and flags any setback, fencing, or overhead clearance constraints before design begins. Standard court dimensions are fixed, but orientation, buffer zones, and multi-use line layouts can be adjusted to make the most of what the site allows.
How do you decide whether to patch the old court or replace it?
The base condition is the deciding factor. Surface-level cracks and worn color are patchable or resurfaceable. If the sub-base has settled unevenly or water is pooling because the grade has shifted, patching the top layer will not hold and a rebuild is the cost-effective choice over the long term.
