Court Builds
A regulation court built on a compacted sub-base, with every cost in writing before work begins.
What Goes Wrong
The difference between a court that lasts a decade and one that delaminates in a season comes down to a few specific decisions.
Applying the acrylic colour coat before the slab fully cures causes surface delamination within the first season of use.
The written estimate states the exact cure interval; no coating is applied until the slab meets the required timeline.
San Diego’s coastal-zone soils shift seasonally, and a sub-base laid without a drainage assessment will crack and heave over time.
A local builder assesses soil stability and water runoff paths first, then sets compaction depth to match your specific site conditions.
A single figure with no material breakdown makes it impossible to know what was cut when the finished surface falls short of spec.
Every estimate lists sub-base spec, acrylic coat grade, anchor placement, and cure schedule, no line item is left as a lump sum.
Lines painted before the topcoat is fully set bleed at the edges, and non-regulation dimensions make the court unusable for organised play.
Line marking is applied after the acrylic topcoat cures, using regulation dimensions for the key, three-point arc, and free-throw line.
Why Choose Us
Every step from first contact to final sign-off is structured so nothing is left to a verbal agreement.
No work is scheduled until you hold an itemised estimate covering materials, scope, and cure times.
A local court builder documents soil stability and drainage findings before a price is agreed or work begins.
The agreed cure interval is written into the estimate, so there is no ambiguity about when coating can start.
Lines, anchor positions, and surface finish are checked item by item before the job is signed off.
We arrange local court builders who know San Diego’s coastal soil conditions and city permit requirements.
