What Goes Wrong

The decisions that separate a court that lasts from one that fails early

Heavy-use courts fail for specific, avoidable reasons, here is what they are and how the build avoids them.

Inadequate Drainage

A surface graded beyond 1 percent slope sheds water unevenly, leaving standing puddles after every Orlando afternoon storm.

Integrated Slope & Drainage

The site is graded to a 1 percent or less tolerance so water clears the surface without affecting play or pooling at edges.

Wrong Base for the Site

Asphalt laid over poorly compacted fill shifts under heavy foot traffic, producing soft spots and surface cracks within a few seasons.

Base Matched to Use Level

Concrete slabs are specified for new builds needing long-term stability; asphalt is selected only where site conditions genuinely support it.

Surface Spec Too Light

Standard acrylic coatings without UV-resistant pigment fade and delaminate quickly under Central Florida’s year-round sun exposure.

UV-Resistant Acrylic Coating

UV-stable acrylic sport coating is applied over the cured base to slow fading and maintain a consistent, non-slip playing surface.

Patching a Failing Base

Surface patching over cracked or drainage-compromised concrete masks the symptom and the damage continues to spread underneath.

Base Condition Inspection First

A base condition inspection determines whether resurfacing is viable or a full rebuild is the only fix that will actually hold.

Common problems, answered

Scope of Work

What the build covers, from base to final line

Each project is scoped to the property type and intended use, HOA common area, school campus, or commercial recreation facility.

New Court Construction

Full build from site grading through base, surface coating, fencing, net posts, and regulation line marking.

Court Resurfacing

Acrylic recoat and line remarking for courts whose base is still sound but whose surface is worn, faded, or slippery.

Multi-Sport Court Layout

Basketball, pickleball, and tennis lines marked in contrasting colors on a single shared surface to serve multiple user groups.

Drainage & Grading Work

Site leveling and integrated drainage designed to clear standing water after rain without affecting the playing surface slope.

Basketball Courts

Regulation or half-court layouts on concrete or asphalt base.

Pickleball Courts

Single or multi-court layouts with net post sleeves.

Tennis Courts

Full-size courts with perimeter fencing and net posts.

Perimeter Fencing

Chain-link or vinyl-coated fencing sized to the court.

Court Lighting

Pole-mounted lighting positioned to match the court layout.

Commercial Court Builds

Courts built for heavy use, not just occasional play

HOA, school, and commercial courts need a base and surface spec that holds up under daily traffic and Florida’s weather.

Every build starts with a site assessment covering drainage, soil condition, and available footprint. Orlando’s afternoon storms make a properly sloped surface and integrated drainage system a practical necessity. A surface slope tolerance of 1 percent or less is the target, enough to shed water without affecting play.

Base selection depends on the site and use level. Concrete slabs are standard for new builds requiring long-term stability; asphalt bases are an option where budget or site conditions favor it. Acrylic sport coating is applied over the cured base, with UV-resistant pigment to slow the fading that Central Florida’s sun accelerates.

Multi-use line layouts for basketball, pickleball, and other sports are marked in contrasting colors so each game reads clearly. Perimeter fencing, net posts, and court lighting are positioned to match the court layout, not added as afterthoughts. Where an existing court is worn, a base condition inspection determines whether resurfacing or a full rebuild is the right call.

Why Choose Us

Why Orlando Sports Courts for commercial & institutional builds

Multi-stakeholder projects need clear scope, written estimates, and a builder accountable to the finished result.

Written Estimate Before Any Work Starts

Every line item, base, surface, fencing, and striping, is documented before the project is approved or any work begins.

On-Site Evaluation Included

The builder visits the site to check drainage and base condition, so the estimate reflects the actual scope, not a guess.

Base Condition Drives the Recommendation

Resurfacing is only recommended when the base inspection confirms it will hold, otherwise a rebuild is the honest answer.

Final Walkthrough Before Sign-Off

The finished court is reviewed with the property contact before the job is closed, so every item on the estimate is confirmed complete.

Covers HOA, School & Commercial Sites

Projects are scoped for Orlando HOA communities, Central Florida school campuses, and commercial recreation facilities of varying sizes.

Common Questions

Questions HOA boards, school administrators & property managers ask

What kind of court can work for my HOA or school property?

Basketball, tennis, pickleball, and multi-sport courts all work well for HOA and school sites. The right choice depends on available space, the age range of users, and how many sports the community wants to support. An on-site evaluation confirms which layout fits the footprint and budget.

Will the site work if the ground is not level right now?

Yes, uneven ground can be corrected through grading and base preparation before the surface goes down. Skipping this step causes water pooling and surface cracking within a few seasons. The on-site evaluation identifies how much leveling the site needs and includes that work in the written estimate.

Does a new court need drainage built in?

Yes, every court needs a drainage plan. Without it, standing water softens the base, accelerates surface cracking, and creates a slip hazard. Proper slope and subsurface drainage are built into the base preparation phase, and the written estimate covers this work before any surface material is laid.

Can small cracks just be patched, or does the whole court need to be rebuilt?

Hairline surface cracks can usually be filled and resurfaced without rebuilding. Cracks wider than a quarter inch, or any cracking that follows a pattern across the whole court, typically signal base failure, patching alone will not hold. An on-site evaluation determines which category the damage falls into before any work is recommended.

Is resurfacing enough for my court, or do I need a full replacement?

Resurfacing works when the base is structurally sound and damage is limited to the top layer. If the base has shifted, heaved, or lost its drainage slope, a new surface laid over it will fail quickly. The on-site evaluation checks the base condition first so the recommendation is based on what the court actually needs. Learn more about resurfacing options.

Which surface holds up best in weather exposure and frequent use?

Acrylic-coated asphalt is the most common choice for outdoor courts in Florida because it handles UV exposure, heat expansion, and frequent rain cycles without cracking prematurely when the base is correctly prepared. Concrete holds up well too but costs more upfront and requires control joints to manage expansion. The right pick depends on budget and expected traffic volume.

How much will the project cost once the old court is opened up?

Most commercial HOA and school court projects come in at $25,000-$70,000, but opening an existing court can reveal base damage, drainage issues, or soil problems that add scope. The written estimate covers known work upfront, and any subsurface findings are documented and priced before additional work proceeds.

Should I hire a court builder instead of a handyman or general contractor?

Court construction requires specific knowledge of base compaction, drainage slope, surface coatings, and sport-specific line placement that a general contractor does not typically carry. Getting these details wrong leads to premature cracking, poor drainage, and surfaces that fail safety checks. A court-specific builder handles all of it as a single scope of work.
