Want A Turnkey New Tennis Court?
Building a tennis court requires more than just pouring concrete. It requires specific geotechnical knowledge to prevent cracking and heaving. We manage every phase of construction for homeowners, schools, HOAs, and private clubs.
Our "Concept-to-Completion" Process Includes:
-
- Site Engineering: Professional grading, drainage planning, and retaining wall integration.
- Structural Foundation: We specialize in Post-Tension Concrete Slabs, the superior method for California soils, providing resistance to cracking and structural movement.
- Professional Hardware: Installation of embedments for net posts, fencing sleeves, and lighting anchors.
- Lighting & Accessories: High-efficiency LED or Solar court lighting, windscreens, and divider nets.
- Custom Surfacing: Application of premium acrylic, cushioned, or modular tile systems.
Expert Tennis Court Resurfacing & Restoration
What is the best way to resurface a cracked tennis court?
A worn or cracked court affects both safety and game quality. Unlike general contractors who use a "patch and paint" approach, we diagnose the root cause of the wear to recommend the right long-term solution.
Option 1: Modular Sport Tile Overlays (Best for Durability)
Ideal for: Courts with structural cracks, root intrusion, or older slabs. Our modular system is the lowest-maintenance surface available. It floats over the existing slab, bridging cracks so they never telegraph through to the surface.
-
- Benefits: Shock absorption (easier on joints), instant drainage (play immediately after rain), and a 15+ year lifespan.
Option 2: Cushioned Mat Systems (Best for Performance)
Ideal for: Players seeking a professional, club-level feel with injury protection. We install ProCushion™ and CushionX™ systems. These multi-layer rubberized coatings provide substantial force reduction, protecting knees and ankles from the harsh impact of asphalt or concrete.
-
- Benefits: True ball bounce, significant fatigue reduction, and a premium seamless appearance.
Option 3: Acrylic Hard Court Surfacing (Best for Budget)
Ideal for: Structurally sound courts that just need a color refresh. We use tournament-grade acrylic coatings (Laykold, Nova, SportMaster) to restore vibrant color and consistent texture.
Note: This is purely cosmetic. If your court has structural cracks, we recommend Option 1 or 2.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: How much does it cost to build a tennis court in Northern California?
A: Costs vary based on excavation needs, access, and surface choice. However, a fully engineered post-tension court generally starts in the mid-to-high five-figure range. Contact us for a site-specific estimate.
Q: Can you fix a tennis court with large cracks?
A: Yes. "Patching" large cracks rarely lasts. We recommend a Bridge Overlay using modular tiles or a slip-sheet cushioned system. These methods cover the cracks and prevent them from returning, saving you money on repetitive repairs.
Q: Do you service Nevada?
A: Yes, we actively build and resurface courts in Reno, Sparks, Lake Tahoe, and Truckee, utilizing specific engineering standards for high-altitude and freeze-thaw cycles.
