Court Repair
Repair, the first level of addressing tennis court problems, targets specific areas such as cracks. There are many different kinds of cracks in tennis courts. We will examine your court and tell you what type of cracking you have and what is causing it. Based on this examination we can determine the appropriate method for repairing cracks. Your choice of repair method should be predicated on the type and extent of cracking your tennis court has (any underlying problems), budget and other factors.
Court repair and resurfacing typically restores and refreshes courts to like new condition. The process can vary depending on the condition of the court from simple crack repairs to complete surface removal and new surface installation. In some cases, cracking in a court is a symptom of another problem under the court itself, and repairing certain types of cracking may be ineffective. It is important to be aware that resurfacing, while a good option, may be only a temporary fix,
depending upon the problems that are present in the surface. When considering resurfacing an existing court, I make the owners aware that
when an existing court has cracks, the cracks will always reflect through the
new pavement within a few years. The only construction remedy to eliminate cracks is to remove the existing
pavement and rebuild the site.
Court Resurfacing Resurfacing replaces the entire court surface, but without significant reconstructing the base of the court. It makes the court look new again without rebuilding it from the ground up.
Resurfacing includes cleaning of an existing surface, filling and repairing of minor cracks to slow water penetration to the subsurface, leveling minor low spots where water stands and reapplication of color materials. This is typically a good time to replace aging tennis equipment and posts as well as repairing any issues with the surrounding fencing.
