Court Builders
A level, crack-resistant court with regulation markings, ready for play through every season.
What Goes Wrong
The surface you see is only as good as the preparation underneath it.
Clay-heavy soil sheds water slowly, so a slab poured without drainage grading pools after every rain and undermines the base over time.
Site grading establishes a built-in slope so water sheds away from the slab surface and does not collect at the foundation.
A surface laid over loose or uneven fill settles unevenly, causing cracks and dead spots that make the ball bounce unpredictably.
Sub-base compaction is completed and checked before any concrete or asphalt is placed, giving the surface a stable, uniform foundation.
A coating not rated for UV exposure fades and softens in Raleigh’s humid summers, leaving a slippery, uneven playing surface within two seasons.
Acrylic court coating formulated for outdoor UV exposure holds color and texture through heat and humidity without softening or peeling.
A post anchored at insufficient depth flexes under play, shifts the backboard angle, and can pull free from the slab over time.
Post depth is matched to the foundation type, concrete slab or asphalt, so the backboard stays plumb and the anchor holds long-term.
Scope of Work
From raw ground to a finished, playable court, every stage is included in the written estimate.
A poured concrete slab with sub-base compaction delivers a firm, consistent surface rated for outdoor play and heavy use.
An asphalt base suits sites with slight grade variation and provides a stable foundation for acrylic coating and line marking.
Interlocking sport tiles install over an existing slab and allow surface changes without breaking up the base underneath.
UV-resistant acrylic applied over concrete or asphalt adds consistent ball bounce and a built-in drainage slope to shed rain.
Regulation line markings are painted once the surface cures, and the hoop and backboard are set at the correct post depth.
Ground is cut and graded before any base material is placed.
Drainage slope is established to prevent pooling after rain.
Sealed finish protects the slab from moisture and UV damage.
Permit requirements are checked at the assessment stage.
Why Choose Us
Every step from site visit to final sign-off is structured so nothing is assumed and nothing is skipped.
Grading, base, surface, markings, and hardware are listed as separate line items, no bundled totals or surprise additions.
The site visit assesses drainage and grade before scope or cost is discussed.
Hoop alignment, line markings, and surface drainage are all checked on-site before the job is considered complete.
The same process applies to backyard courts, HOA facilities, and school or commercial properties across the Raleigh area.
Every project accounts for Wake County permit requirements and the drainage challenges that clay-heavy soil creates for new slabs.
How It Works
01
Tell us the site location, approximate dimensions, and how you plan to use the court so we can arrange the right visit.
02
The site visit checks grade, drainage, and soil conditions, then an itemized written estimate follows.
03
Installation runs from site prep through surface and markings, finishing with a final walkthrough before the job is signed off.
