01
Surface evaluation
We inspect the slab, coating, drainage, and repairs. Failed surfaces are ground back; sound courts move to deep cleaning.

The step-by-step process
02
Deep clean at 4000 PSI
We pressure wash at 4000 PSI with court-safe cleaners, opening the concrete pores for a strong mechanical bond.
03
Flexible crack repair
Court-grade caulking fills cracks, joints, and sockets while allowing normal slab movement. Repairs cure overnight.
04
Primer coat
Primer seals the prepared surface and creates a uniform base across the whole slab.
05
Two coats of acrylic resurfacer
Two full resurfacer coats smooth minor imperfections and build the level plane needed for color.
06
Two Plexipave color coats
Two pigmented Plexipave coats create the final color, texture, and durable playing finish.
07
Layout, striping, and final walkthrough
We mark regulation lines, clean the site, and confirm cure time and care during your final walkthrough.
Timelines shift with surface condition, needed repairs, and add-ons such as fence painting, chain-link or retaining wall installation, hoop and net post installs, windscreen work, or court lighting. The average court is finished in 3 to 5 days.
The materials we use
100% Plexipave by California Sports Products
We use Plexipave acrylic systems exclusively for strong color retention, UV stability, and abrasion resistance.
CoolTop — a surface that stays cooler in summer
CoolTop is a solar-reflective Plexipave option. Surface temperature varies by color, exposure, and site conditions.
Why we pay more for it
Plexipave costs more than standard acrylics, but its finish, durability, and color retention justify the investment.
Flexible joint and crack caulking
Specialty elastomeric caulking that moves with the slab instead of fracturing against it — used on every expansion joint, socket, and repair.
Hoops, net posts, fencing, and windscreens
For hardware we source from several manufacturers and match the spec to your goals and budget — from residential adjustable systems to in-ground competition hoops, tournament net posts, galvanized or vinyl-coated chain link, and commercial-grade windscreens. On coatings, though, we never substitute: it is Plexipave, every time.
Maintenance and court care
What is the single best thing I can do for my court?
Buy a Roll-Dri and push standing water off after rain or any wash-down. Standing water is the number one enemy of an acrylic court surface, and acidic contaminants like bird droppings will etch the finish if they sit.
How do I keep the colors looking new?
Keep the surface free of leaves, dirt, and organic debris, keep sprinkler overspray off the court entirely, and remove standing water promptly. Many of our clients also have colors refreshed every 2–3 years to keep the court looking showroom-new.
Can I pressure wash it myself?
We strongly advise against it. Incorrect pressure, the wrong nozzle, or the wrong chemistry can permanently damage an acrylic surface and cost thousands to correct. Court cleaning takes specific equipment and technique — call us before anyone touches your surface.
Do you offer ongoing maintenance?
Yes. We offer monthly court cleaning and maintenance service using equipment and methods that are safe for the coating system — the simplest way to protect the investment and keep colors fresh year after year.
How long will my court last?
Lifespan depends on the concrete underneath, use, maintenance, standing water, and sprinkler exposure. Ask for expectations for your court.
How long until I can play on it?
We give every coat extra dry time rather than rushing the schedule — rushing is where mistakes and premature failures come from. We confirm your exact play-ready date at the final walkthrough.
Does the court get too hot to play on in summer?
Plexipave CoolTop is a solar-reflective option. Temperature still depends on color, sun, weather, and site conditions.
