Outdoor Courts
A finished court that drains fast, holds its surface, and stays playable through Florida’s heat and humidity.
Surface & Site Failures
The surface you see on day one is not the problem, it is what was skipped underneath it.
A base laid without grading traps water after Tampa’s afternoon rain, softening the sub-base and lifting tiles or cracking the slab within a season.
Drainage grading is built into the base stage before any surface goes down, so water clears the court instead of pooling under it.
Applying an acrylic coating over a cracked or porous slab locks in the defect, the coating fails at the same point the base failed, usually within a year.
The site assessment confirms whether the existing slab is sound enough to coat, or whether a new concrete or asphalt base is the right starting point.
A court laid without a measured site check often leaves too little run-off space, making the playing area unsafe and the layout non-regulation.
Available dimensions are measured and confirmed for a half-court or full 34ft x 64ft layout with run-off before any base work is planned.
A standard acrylic coating not rated for Florida’s UV load fades, chalks, and becomes slippery within two seasons, requiring a full recoat ahead of schedule.
The coating is selected specifically for UV resistance and fast drainage, with a recoat interval explained at handover so the surface stays consistent.
Scope of Work
Each stage is itemised in the written estimate so you know exactly what is included before work begins.
A 4,000 PSI concrete slab poured to the confirmed footprint, with drainage grading built in for long-term stability.
An asphalt base is a practical alternative on sites where a full concrete pour is not feasible, finished to the same drainage standard.
A sport court overlay system installed over an existing level hard surface without excavation, suited to driveways and patios in sound condition.
UV-resistant acrylic surfacing applied once the base has cured, rated for Florida heat and fast drainage after afternoon rain.
Regulation striping applied after the coating sets, covering all boundary and key lines for a full or half-court layout.
Backboard and hoop positions anchored to the base at regulation depth, completed as part of the same installation visit.
Ground leveled and graded before any base is poured.
Existing court recoated and restriped to extend its life.
Slope and runoff planned before base work starts.
Why Choose Us
Every enquiry is handled with a site visit and a written estimate before any commitment is made.
Concrete base, acrylic surfacing, striping, and net system are listed as separate line items so nothing is hidden.
A local builder visits to measure the space and check drainage before an estimate is written or a date is set.
Surface and coating choices are matched to Tampa’s UV load and afternoon rain patterns, not a generic national spec.
The 34ft x 64ft playing area with run-off is measured and confirmed before base work begins, not assumed.
Recoat intervals and surface care instructions are explained at handover so the court holds up without guesswork.
Enquiries are connected to independent local builders who know Tampa Bay area site conditions and HOA requirements.
