At Court Project, we believe that informed decisions lead to better-built courts. This FAQ section is designed to provide clear, concise answers about court types, surface systems, project timelines, pricing, maintenance, and long-term performance. Whether you’re planning a new court or considering resurfacing, these insights will help you understand the process, set realistic expectations, and move forward with confidence.

General / Getting Started
What does Court Project specialize in?

Court Project specializes in the design, construction, and resurfacing of high-performance sport courts, including tennis, pickleball, basketball, volleyball, shuffleboard, padel and multi-sport courts for both residential and commercial clients.

Do you work on residential and commercial projects?

Yes. We work with homeowners, schools, HOAs, clubs, developers, property managers, and municipalities on projects of all sizes.

What areas do you serve?

We are based in Tampa and primarily serve Florida and surrounding regions. For larger or specialty projects, expanded service areas may be available.

What makes Court Project different from other court builders?

Our focus is on proper evaluation, preparation, and long term performance. We don’t treat prep as optional because surface longevity depends on what’s underneath.

Court Types & Applications
What types of courts do you build or resurface?

We work on tennis courts, pickleball courts, basketball courts, volleyball courts, shuffleboard courts, padel courts, and multi sport courts for both recreational and competitive use.

Can you convert a tennis court into pickleball court?

Yes. Most existing tennis court can each be converted into anywhere between two to four pickleball court depending on space, condition, and layout goals.

What size court do I need?

Court size depends on the sport, safety run off areas, and available space. We help evaluate your site and recommend the right layout. For example the recommended size for tennis is 120’ by 60’ including the out of bounds, and 60’ by 30’ for pickleball.

New Construction vs Resurfacing
What’s the difference between building a new court and resurfacing?

New construction involves building the slab and surface from the ground up. Resurfacing restores the play surface of an existing court that is structurally sound.

How do I know if my court needs resurfacing or replacement?

If the base slab is stable and drainage is adequate, resurfacing is often sufficient. Severe cracking, movement, or drainage failure may require reconstruction.

How often should a court be resurfaced?

Most acrylic courts need resurfacing every 5–8 years depending on usage, climate, and maintenance.

Process & Timeline
What does the project process look like?

Our process includes site evaluation, developing drawings for permitting if required, surface preparation, construction or resurfacing, coatings, striping, and final walkthrough.

How long does a typical project take?

Timelines vary by scope and weather, but most resurfacing projects take anywhere from several days to a week, while new construction takes longer depending on the scope of the project.

Do I need permits?

Permit requirements depend on location and project type. We are a licensed and insured general contractor, and handle this for clients when needed.

Maintenance & Longevity
How do I maintain my court?

Regular cleaning, debris removal, and addressing minor issues early help extend surface life.

How long will a court surface last?

With proper prep and maintenance, most acrylic systems provide many years of reliable performance.

Can you maintain or resurface courts you didn’t build?

Yes. We regularly service existing courts built by other contractors.

Warranty & Support
Do you offer warranties?

Warranty terms vary by system and scope and are clearly outlined in each proposal.

What happens if there’s an issue after completion?

We stand behind our work and always address issues according to agreed warranty terms.

Scheduling & Site Logistics
Do I need to be home during construction?

Not usually, as long as we have site access and clear communication.

How should I prepare my property?

We provide guidance on access, pets, vehicles, and surrounding areas before work begins.

Common Mistakes & Myths
What’s the biggest mistake people make with court resurfacing?

Rushing or skipping proper surface preparation to save time or money.

Are cheaper coatings a good long-term solution?

Lower cost systems often fail sooner, leading to higher long term costs.
