Our contractors
Premium contractors, vetted for you
We work only with premium court contractors, and each one is checked before we match them with a homeowner. Every contractor we match you with is:
Licensed
Licensed for the work in your state.
Insured
Carries insurance for the job.
Proven on courts
Has built courts before. We review past court projects and references.
Contractors are independent businesses. Your contract, payment, and any warranty are between you and the contractor, so ask what their warranty covers before you sign.
Installation
What happens during the build
- Approvals. Your contractor can tell you what your city or county requires. Check your HOA's rules early; many review fences, lights, and colors. See the service area notes for your town.
- 811 and site prep. Underground lines get marked before anyone digs. Then the ground is cleared, graded, and packed.
- The base. Concrete or asphalt goes down on a slight, even slope so rain runs off. Net sleeves and hoop footings are set before the pour.
- Curing. The base has to cure before any coating goes on. This is the longest wait in most builds.
- Surface and lines. Acrylic coats and color go on in dry, warm weather, then the lines for every sport you play.
- Nets, fencing, and lights. The finishing pieces go in last. Then you play.
