The process starts with a site measurement and grade check. For HOA communities and school campuses across the Roanoke Valley, that assessment also covers whether the existing base is sound enough to resurface or whether a full rebuild is the more cost-effective path. Skipping that step leads to a new surface failing on a compromised base within a few seasons.
Base work on institutional sites uses asphalt or a concrete slab, both finished with a UV-stable acrylic court coating that handles Roanoke’s summer heat and seasonal rain. A 2% drainage gradient is built into the surface slope so water clears the court quickly and does not pool at the net or baseline areas.
Multi-sport line striping lets one court serve basketball, pickleball, and tennis without separate surfaces. Fencing, net posts, and perimeter lighting are included in the same itemised written estimate so the full project scope is visible before any work is booked. A final walkthrough confirms every element before sign-off.

Questions HOA boards and school administrators ask before booking
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.
Tell us the site and the sport. We schedule a ground, drainage, and layout assessment, then put the full scope in writing. No work is booked until you have an itemized estimate in hand.
