What Goes Wrong

Where commercial court builds fail, and what prevents it

Heavy-use courts fail for specific, avoidable reasons. Each one comes down to a decision made early in the build.

Inadequate Drainage

A court without a verified slope traps water after Orlando’s afternoon rain, softening the base and accelerating surface cracking.

Slope Verified Before Pour

Drainage slope and outlet placement are confirmed on site before the concrete or asphalt base is poured, not added as an afterthought.

Wrong Surface Spec

A coating rated for light residential use breaks down quickly under Central Florida’s UV load and the foot traffic of a shared HOA or school court.

UV-Rated Acrylic Coating

Acrylic sport coating is selected for the site’s heat cycle and expected daily use, applied over a fully cured base to the correct thickness.

Patching a Failing Base

Surface patches over a deteriorating base or drainage problem keep failing; the damage returns faster each time and the cost compounds.

Base Condition Inspection

A base condition inspection on site determines whether resurfacing is sufficient or whether the base has deteriorated enough to require a full rebuild.

Post-Build Add-Ons

Fencing, net posts, and lighting planned after the court is poured often require cutting into finished work, adding cost and disrupting the surface.

Scope Set Before Build

Fencing, posts, and lighting are planned alongside the court layout from the start so every element is included in the original written estimate.

Common problems, answered

Scope of Work

What the build covers

From a single basketball court to a multi-sport recreation area, the scope is set in writing before any work begins.

Concrete Slab Base

Stable, long-life base suited to heavy daily use.

Asphalt Base

Cost-effective base option with verified drainage slope.

Interlocking Sports Tile

Modular surface over an existing sound base.

Fencing & Net Posts

Court perimeter and net hardware planned from day one.

Court Striping

Regulation lines in contrasting colors per sport.

Commercial Court Builds

Courts built for heavy daily use, not occasional play

The base condition inspection determines whether a court needs resurfacing or a full rebuild, and that decision is made on site.

Request an Estimate

The build sequence starts with site grading and base installation. Concrete or asphalt is selected based on the site’s drainage conditions and expected load. Orlando’s frequent afternoon rain makes a verified drainage slope across the entire court surface a practical requirement, not an optional detail. Slope tolerance and drainage outlet placement are confirmed before the base is poured.

Surface coating selection follows base installation. Acrylic sport coating is applied over a cured base and rated for the UV exposure and heat cycles common in Central Florida. For sites where a base already exists, a base condition inspection determines whether spot resurfacing is sufficient or whether the base has deteriorated enough to require replacement.

Multi-use line layouts for basketball, pickleball, and other court sports are marked in contrasting colors after the surface coating cures. Fencing, net posts, and lighting are planned alongside the court layout from the start so post-construction add-ons are not needed. The itemised written estimate covers each element as a separate line item before any work is booked.

Why Choose Us

Why Orlando Sports Courts for commercial & HOA court builds?

We take enquiries from Orlando HOA communities, school campuses, and commercial properties and put the full scope in writing.

On-Site Evaluation Before Any Scope

Every enquiry starts with a site visit covering base condition, drainage slope, and surface spec before a single line of scope is written.

Itemised Written Estimate

Base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking each appear as a separate line item so there are no hidden costs after the site is opened.

Resurfacing & Rebuild Both Available

The base condition inspection on site determines the right fix, resurface or full rebuild, so the recommendation is based on evidence, not assumption.

Multi-Sport Layout Planning

Basketball, pickleball, and tennis layouts are planned together from the start, maximising the usable space for HOA residents or school programs.

Final Walkthrough Sign-Off

The job is not signed off until a final walkthrough confirms drainage, surface finish, fencing, and line marking all meet the agreed scope.

Serving the Greater Orlando Area

We cover Orlando, Windermere, Winter Garden, Winter Park, Lake Nona, Lake Mary, and Clermont for commercial and institutional court projects.

Common Questions

Questions HOA boards & school administrators 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.
