Why Us

Why Charlotte Sports Courts?

One point of contact for every stage means nothing falls between separate contractors.

No Estimate Before a Site Visit

Every enquiry starts with an on-site assessment of slope, drainage, and usable space, no guesswork from photos.

Written Scope Before Work Starts

The estimate lists base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking as separate line items, no hidden scope.

Final Walkthrough Before Sign-Off

A walkthrough is completed before the job closes, so every item in the written estimate is accounted for.

Local Permitting Accounted For

Builders are arranged for the specific municipality, covering Charlotte, Ballantyne, Weddington, Waxhaw, and surrounding areas.

Full Sequence, One Scope

Sub-base compaction through acrylic coating and regulation markings are handled as one project, not handed off in pieces.

Common Problems

What goes wrong, and how it gets fixed

Most court failures trace back to one skipped step early in the build.

Poor Sub-Base Prep

A base laid on uncompacted ground shifts under load, and Charlotte’s red clay soil accelerates cracking within a few seasons.

Graded & Compacted Base

The builder confirms subgrade compaction and drainage paths before any base material goes down, preventing early surface failure.

Standing Water on Court

A surface without a verified slope sheds water poorly, leaving puddles at the baseline after every rain and degrading the acrylic coating.

Slope Verified at Site Visit

Drainage is assessed and corrected during site prep so water runs clear of the playing surface before the base is poured.

Ignored Surface Cracks

Small cracks left unpatched let water in; repeated wet-dry cycles widen them until a full rebuild is the only remaining option.

Early Crack Assessment

The job inspects the surface and carries out patching or a full recoat in the correct sequence: prep, patch, coat, stripe.

Wrong Court Dimensions

A pickleball or tennis court laid out without a site visit often ends up undersized or placed where drainage causes long-term problems.

Footprint Confirmed On-Site

The site visit measures the available space and confirms regulation clearance zones are met before any base work is scheduled.

FAQs

Questions about getting a court built

  • Do I need site preparation before building a court?

    Yes. A court needs a stable, level base with proper drainage so the surface stays playable and does not settle unevenly. Skipping prep is the most direct cause of pooling water, surface cracks, and a court that feels off underfoot within the first few seasons.

  • How do I know if a court needs resurfacing or a full replacement?

    Small cracks, faded lines, and a worn top coat usually point to resurfacing. Widespread cracking, sinking spots, or standing water after rain typically mean the base needs more work. A surface inspection determines which applies before any estimate is written.

  • Can one court be set up for more than one sport?

    Yes. A multi-sport layout uses regulation striping for basketball, pickleball, and tennis on a single surface. The builder sizes the court to the available space and marks each sport’s lines in a distinct color so they are easy to read during play.

  • What is included in the written estimate?

    The estimate itemises every phase separately, base preparation, acrylic surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking. Nothing is bundled into a lump sum, so you can see exactly where costs sit before any work is booked or any commitment is made.
