The builder starts with a surface level check and drainage inspection across the full court. Low spots that hold water after rain are mapped, and base layer condition is assessed before any patching compound is applied. Palm Beach County’s frequent heavy rain makes drainage correction a required part of most resurfacing scopes, not an optional add-on.
Crack filling uses a flexible sealant matched to the crack width and movement pattern. Surface patching follows for areas where the acrylic coating has peeled or the substrate has deteriorated. A patched area is feathered to match the surrounding surface profile so the finished court plays evenly across the full area.
Resurfacing applies a new acrylic coating over the prepared surface, with cure and recoat intervals observed before line striping begins. South Florida’s UV intensity accelerates coating fade, so the acrylic spec is chosen for UV stability. A final walkthrough confirms surface slope, drainage, and regulation line marking before the job is signed off.
Why Choose Us
Why Palm Beach County Sports Courts for resurfacing & repair?
Repair work is only as good as the inspection that precedes it, here is how accountability is built into every job.
Inspection Before Any Scope Is Written
No estimate is issued until the surface, base layer, and drainage slope are assessed on-site in person.
Itemised Estimate, No Bundled Pricing
Crack filling, patching, resurfacing, and line striping are listed as separate line items so you see exactly what you are paying for.
Drainage Correction Is Standard, Not Extra
Low spot leveling and slope correction are included in the resurfacing scope, not added as a change order after work starts.
Final Walkthrough Before Sign-Off
Surface slope, drainage flow, and regulation line placement are all confirmed with you before the job is considered complete.
All Facility Types Covered
Backyard courts, HOA facilities, school courts, and commercial sports surfaces are all within the service scope.
How do I know if my court needs a repair or full resurfacing?
Isolated cracks or a small worn patch usually call for targeted repair; widespread surface deterioration, multiple crack networks, or significant color fade across the whole court point to resurfacing. The deciding factor is how much of the surface is affected. An on-site evaluation will map the damage and tell you which scope makes sense.
Can a resurfaced court still have drainage problems?
Yes, if the underlying base or grade is not corrected first. Resurfacing only replaces the top layer, so water will still pool if the sub-base slopes incorrectly or has settled unevenly. Every job starts with an on-site drainage evaluation so base issues are identified and addressed before new surfacing goes down.
Will crack repair match the rest of my court?
A close match is achievable on recently resurfaced courts, but older surfaces with sun-faded color will show some variation. The repair compound is color-matched to the existing surface, and the difference typically becomes less noticeable over a few weeks of weathering. Full resurfacing eliminates the mismatch entirely.
What repairs are included in a resurfacing job?
A resurfacing job typically includes crack filling and base preparation, application of new acrylic or sport-specific surface layers, and fresh line marking. The written estimate itemises each element so you know exactly what is covered before work starts.
How much of the court usually has to be redone?
It depends on the damage pattern. Spot repairs cover only the affected area; full resurfacing covers the entire playing surface. The on-site evaluation determines the minimum scope needed to restore a consistent, playable surface. Most jobs fall somewhere in the range of $4,000-$10,000, varying with court size and condition.
Will the court drain and play evenly after the work is done?
Yes, provided drainage and base issues are corrected as part of the job. The pre-work evaluation checks grade and drainage, and a final walkthrough is completed before sign-off to confirm the surface is level and water moves off the court correctly.
How long will a repair hold up in sun, rain, and regular use?
A properly prepared repair on a sound base holds up well under UV exposure, rain, and regular play. Longevity depends on how thoroughly the underlying cause was addressed. Repairs made over a failing base or unresolved drainage issue will deteriorate faster regardless of surface quality.
Should I patch a problem first or go ahead with resurfacing?
Patch first only if the damage is genuinely isolated and the rest of the surface is in good condition. If cracks are spreading or the surface is worn across more than a third of the court, resurfacing is the more cost-effective path because patches on a deteriorating surface will fail again quickly.
