Resurfacing and crack repair done right
The most common scope we do, and the one most often done wrong. Preparation, crack treatment that does not make cracks worse, a full Laykold acrylic system and clean lines.
A system, not a coat of paint
- Preparation. Pressure wash, remove loose material, grind where needed. On courts that are delaminating, we take it back to bare concrete.
- Crack treatment. On post-tensioned slabs: grind the crack, fill with a two-part polyurethane crack filler, grind smooth. On other slabs, the proposal names the crack treatment and preparation we will use. We never rout hairline cracks.
- Resurfacer. Acrylic resurfacer coats to fill texture and level the surface.
- Color. Two color coats in your choice of Laykold colors, with a contrasting playing area if you want one.
- Lines. Taped and painted to the governing body layout: tennis, pickleball, basketball, or blended.
Repaint versus resurface: if the existing surface is sound and only the color is tired, a repaint is cheaper and we will say so. If it is cracking or peeling, paint on top of it is money thrown away. When a resurface is not enough
Laykold, installed by an authorized dealer
Standard acrylic
The workhorse system for outdoor tennis, pickleball and basketball courts. Durable, UV-stable color with a consistent texture.
Cushioned systems
Laykold cushioned systems for clubs and indoor facilities where player comfort matters. The same family of surfaces used at the US Open.
Modular tile
VersaCourt tile over an existing slab when drainage, speed of install or a multi-sport layout make tile the better answer.
Five steps, one point of contact
You deal with the person who can commit the company. No call center, no layers.
Assessment
Send photos and an address, or we walk the site. We look at the slab, cracks, drainage and fencing before anyone talks price.
Scope and budget number
A line-item proposal: what is included, the system by name, what happens with cracks, and a realistic number you can plan around.
Schedule
Acrylic goes down at 50 degrees and rising, so we set a window that fits the season and your calendar.
Install
Preparation, repairs, surfacing and striping to the manufacturer specification, with daily photo records on every public project.
Walk and closeout
You walk the courts with us before final acceptance. Outdoor courts are ready to play 24 hours after lines when nights stay above 60 degrees.
Resurfacing questions
How often should a court be resurfaced?
Every surface wears differently depending on sun, use and how it was built. We look at your court and tell you whether it needs work now, in a year, or not yet.
Will the cracks come back?
Cracks are a slab condition, and surface work treats the symptom. Proper treatment keeps them closed and flat for as long as possible; recurrence depends on slab movement. The proposal spells out what the workmanship guarantee covers.
What temperature do you need?
50 degrees and rising, 55 at the surface. That sets the season for outdoor work in our footprint.
How long are the courts closed?
Multi-court resurfacing is typically days on site, not weeks. Outdoor courts are playable 24 hours after lines when nights stay above 60 degrees, indoor in three days. Full cosmetic cure takes about 28 days.
Repaint or resurface?
If the existing surface is sound and only the color is tired, a repaint (two color coats and lines) is the cheaper answer and we will say so. If the court is cracking, peeling or holding water, it needs preparation, crack treatment and resurfacer before color, which is a resurface.
Courts cracking, peeling or faded?
Send two or three photos and the address. You will get a straight answer on repaint versus resurface and a budget number for each.
