Concrete Court Resurfacing Questions

Standing water works under acrylic coatings and breaks down the bond. It also signals a slope or drainage problem that will cause the new surface to fail early. Drainage correction is scoped at the evaluation stage, before coating work begins.

Water enters the crack and reaches the sub-base. In colder climates, freeze-thaw cycles widen the crack each winter. What starts as a resurfacing job can become a slab replacement if the crack is left to grow through multiple seasons.

A purpose-built acrylic sports court coating system, not ordinary exterior paint. The system includes a bonding step, multiple acrylic layers applied with recoat intervals observed, and a sealant topcoat. The coating is selected based on the slab condition found at the evaluation.

The written estimate lists slab prep, crack repair, coating, and line marking as separate line items. If the on-site evaluation uncovers additional repair work, it is scoped and priced before the local builder starts, not added to the bill mid-project.
