Sports Court Installation Questions

Often yes, if the concrete is level, structurally sound, and drains properly. Cracks, significant slope, or standing water need to be addressed first. The on-site base evaluation identifies those issues before the estimate is written, so there are no surprises mid-project.

Sometimes. Underlayment improves surface feel, manages moisture, and smooths minor surface variation. It does not replace a compromised base. The local builder recommends underlayment thickness based on the base type and the sport the court is built for.

Tiles laid over an uneven or poorly draining base shift, crack at the seams, and trap moisture underneath. What starts as a resurfacing-level fix becomes a full base rebuild. Addressing drainage and leveling upfront costs less than correcting a failed installation later.

Timeline depends on base work required, court size, and cure times for any surface coating. The itemised estimate lists each phase with its expected duration, so you have a clear schedule from base prep through final walkthrough before work begins.
