Tennis Court Resurfacing Questions
Every question we get asked about tennis court resurfacing, answered straight.
Questions
How It Works
How do I know if my court needs resurfacing or a full rebuild?
An on-site base-condition assessment determines this. Surface cracks and acrylic delamination are resurfacing candidates. If the sub-base has shifted or drainage slope is lost across the slab, a rebuild conversation is needed. The written report after the assessment will state which applies to your court.
How long does the resurfacing process take from start to finish?
Most resurfacing jobs run three to five days on site, but cure intervals between acrylic coat layers add time. Coastal sites near the ocean may need extended cure windows. The written estimate will include a day-by-day schedule specific to your site conditions.
Does tennis court resurfacing in San Diego require a permit?
Resurfacing an existing slab typically does not require a building permit in San Diego, because no new structure is being added. However, if drainage modifications or sub-base work are included, a permit may apply. The assessment confirms this.
What acrylic colour coat options are available?
Standard acrylic systems come in a range of court colours, most commonly green or blue playing surfaces with contrasting surrounds. The number of colour coat layers and the specific product are listed in the written estimate so you know exactly what is being applied.
Can resurfacing fix a court with poor drainage?
Minor drainage slope issues can sometimes be addressed during resurfacing by adjusting the levelling layer before coating. Significant slope loss across the full slab usually requires sub-base correction first. The base-condition assessment will identify which situation applies and the estimate will reflect it.
