What Goes Wrong

Common shortcuts that shorten a court’s life

Institutional courts carry heavy daily use, the margin for error in base work and drainage is smaller than on a residential install.

Skipped Grade Check

Building over an uneven or poorly drained base traps water under the slab and causes cracking within a few seasons.

Drainage Gradient First

A site measurement and grade check sets the correct surface slope before any base material is placed.

Wrong Rebuild Call

Resurfacing a court with a failing subbase only delays the problem, the new surface cracks along the same fault lines.

Base Condition Assessment

The assessment distinguishes surface wear from structural failure, so the scope matches the actual problem.

No UV-Stable Coating

Standard paint fades and peels under Roanoke’s summer heat, leaving lines unreadable and the surface rough within two years.

Acrylic Color Coat

UV-stable acrylic coating bonds to the cured slab and holds color and texture under sustained sun and seasonal rain.

Unplanned Multi-Sport Layout

Overlapping line colors applied without a layout plan create a confusing surface that frustrates every user group.

Color-Coded Line Striping

Basketball, pickleball, and tennis layouts are mapped to the footprint first, then painted in distinct colors per sport.

Scope of Work

What’s covered on a commercial or HOA court project

From a single resurfacing job to a full multi-sport build, the scope is written to match the site’s actual condition and use.

Full Court Rebuild

Complete subbase compaction, asphalt or concrete slab, acrylic coating, fencing, and line striping from the ground up.

Surface Resurfacing

Acrylic resurfacing over a sound existing base, with crack repair and fresh multi-sport line striping included.

Multi-Sport Layout Striping

Color-coded line marking for basketball, pickleball, and tennis on a shared court footprint.

Drainage & Base Repair

Targeted base work and drainage correction for courts with pooling water or uneven settling.

Site Measurement & Grade Check

Ground-level survey before any scope is written.

Fencing & Net Posts

Scoped and installed alongside the surface work.

Subbase Compaction Documentation

Written record of base work for institutional buyers.

Institutional Court Builds

Shared courts need a different build approach than a residential install

High-traffic use, drainage requirements, and multi-sport layouts all affect how the project is scoped.

The first step on any HOA or school court project is a site measurement and grade check. Drainage gradient, existing base condition, and available footprint determine whether a full rebuild or surface resurfacing is the right path. Roanoke’s seasonal rainfall and summer heat make UV-stable acrylic coatings and proper drainage gradients especially important on shared-use sites.

Base work follows the assessment. Asphalt or concrete slab options are matched to the site’s load requirements and budget cycle. Subbase compaction is documented before surfacing begins, so institutional buyers have a clear record of what was built beneath the finished court.

Multi-sport line striping for basketball, pickleball, and tennis can be applied to a single court footprint using color-coded paint to separate game layouts. Fencing, net posts, and surface coating are scoped together in the written estimate. A final walkthrough is completed with the facility contact before the job is signed off.

Common Questions

Questions HOA boards & school administrators ask

How do I know if my school or HOA court needs resurfacing or a full rebuild?

Resurfacing works when the base is structurally sound, no heaving, cracking through the slab, or drainage failure. If the sub-base has shifted, water pools after rain, or cracks run deeper than the surface layer, a full rebuild is the right call. An on-site evaluation will confirm which applies before any work is scoped.

Should I patch and repaint my court or replace it?

Patching and repainting buys time only if the underlying base is intact and cracks are surface-level. Once cracks return within a season or the base shows movement, patches fail quickly and the cumulative cost exceeds a proper resurface. A site visit will show whether the base can support a lasting repair or needs replacement.

What type of court surface is best for a school or HOA court?

Acrylic-coated asphalt or concrete is the standard for school and HOA courts because it handles heavy daily use, holds line markings well, and drains reliably. The right choice between asphalt and concrete depends on your sub-base conditions, budget, and how many sports the court needs to support. Both options are assessed during the on-site evaluation.

Can one court be used for more than one sport?

Yes. A single court can carry line markings for basketball, pickleball, tennis, and volleyball simultaneously using color-coded layouts that keep each sport readable. The court dimensions and surface type are confirmed during design so every sport plays correctly on the shared space. Multi-sport court options cover the layout combinations available.

Will my court drain well after rain?

A properly graded court sheds water within minutes of rain stopping. Courts are built with a consistent cross-slope, typically 1 percent, so water runs clear of the playing surface. Drainage is assessed during the initial site evaluation, and any grading or sub-surface drainage work needed is included in the written estimate.

How do I know if the court layout fits my space and number of users?

The on-site evaluation measures your available footprint, checks setbacks, and maps how many regulation courts or combined-sport layouts will fit. User volume informs whether multiple courts or a single multi-sport layout makes more sense. You receive a written plan before any work begins so the layout is confirmed, not assumed.

How much upkeep will a new court surface need?

An acrylic-coated court typically needs a pressure wash annually and a fresh color coat every four to seven years depending on use intensity and sun exposure. Crack sealing as cracks appear prevents them from spreading to the base. Routine maintenance costs are low compared to the cost of letting surface damage reach the sub-base.

What happens first on a commercial or school court project?

Every project starts with an on-site evaluation of the space, existing surface condition, and drainage. That assessment drives an itemised written estimate covering base preparation, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking. Work begins only after the estimate is reviewed and signed off, so there are no surprises mid-project.
