Richmond Sports Courts
A worn court assessed correctly, repaired once, and handed back ready for play.
What Goes Wrong
Rushed resurfacing hides the real cause of failure and resets the clock on the same problem.
Applying new acrylic over unpatched cracks seals moisture in and the surface delaminates within one or two freeze-thaw cycles.
We distinguish sub-base movement from surface-layer failure in writing before any coating or patching work is scoped.
New coating applied without cleaning, patching, and priming loses adhesion early, cutting the recoat lifespan by years.
Every scope follows the manufacturer’s cure interval and surface preparation spec so the coating bonds correctly.
Painting regulation lines before the recoat has fully cured causes them to lift with the surface film during the first hot season.
Line marking is re-applied only after the recoat has fully cured, then checked against regulation dimensions at the final walkthrough.
Repairs that add material thickness without checking slope can introduce low spots that pool water and accelerate surface breakdown.
The final walkthrough confirms drainage slope is maintained across the repaired surface and no low spots were introduced.
Repair Scope
From a single cracked panel to a full acrylic recoat, the scope is set by the court’s actual condition, not a standard package.
Shallow acrylic-layer cracks are filled and feathered flush before recoating, stopping water ingress at the source.
The entire playing surface is cleaned, primed, and recoated to restore colour, texture, and ball-response consistency.
Settlement cracks that follow a sub-base pattern require base repair first; new surfacing goes down only after that is stable.
Lines are re-applied post-cure to the correct dimensions for the intended sport, including multi-sport layouts.
Pooling water is traced to its cause, blocked outlets, inadequate slope, or surface deformation, and corrected before resurfacing.
Residential court repairs, any surface type.
Multi-court facilities assessed and scoped together.
Larger facilities with regulation compliance requirements.
Why Us
Accountability at every stage, from the first site visit to the final sign-off.
The itemised estimate names every cost category so you approve the full scope before a builder sets foot on site.
The on-site evaluation determines the right repair level; you never pay for a full recoat when a patch is sufficient.
Scopes cover all three counties, keeping response times short and site knowledge relevant.
The same scoping process applies whether the job is a single residential court or an HOA facility with several surfaces.
Drainage slope, line dimensions, and surface condition are all confirmed at handover, not assumed to be correct.
The Process
Share the court location and the issues you have noticed, and we arrange an on-site visit to assess the surface and drainage.
You receive an itemised estimate covering crack repair, surface prep, recoating, line marking, and any drainage correction needed.
Once you approve the scope, we schedule the work and confirm the final walkthrough date before work begins.
Pricing Estimates
| Job | Typical cost |
|---|---|
| Minor crack repair | $500-$1,500 |
| Standard resurfacing | $4,000-$10,800 |
| Full resurfacing with heavier repair work | $9,000-$15,000 |
Common Questions
Crack pattern is the clearest indicator. Isolated surface cracks usually need filling and recoating. Cracks that run in a grid or follow a consistent direction typically point to sub-base movement, which requires base repair first. The on-site evaluation gives you a written answer before any work is priced.
Water enters the crack, sits under the acrylic layer, and expands during freeze-thaw cycles. Each winter widens the crack and undermines more of the sub-base. A repair that costs a few hundred dollars today can become a full base reconstruction costing several times more after two or three seasons of water damage.
Yes, if the existing surface is structurally sound, properly cleaned, patched, and primed first. Skipping surface preparation is the main reason recoats fail early. The scope follows the manufacturer’s preparation standard and cure interval before any new coating goes down.
Cure time depends on the coating product and ambient temperature, but most acrylic systems require at least 24 to 48 hours before foot traffic and longer before line marking is applied. The specific interval is confirmed for the product used on your court.
Yes. Line marking is applied after the recoat has fully cured, and the final walkthrough confirms dimensions match the regulation spec for your sport. Multi-sport layouts are marked in separate colours to keep each court’s lines readable.
All three. The scoping and estimation process is the same whether the job is a single backyard court or a multi-court HOA or school facility. Service covers Chesterfield, Henrico, and Goochland counties.
