Court Resurfacing Questions

Resurfacing improves playability and appearance, but cracks need to be filled first. If the base has shifted or cracks are active, a colour coat alone will not stop them from returning. The builder assesses crack type before any coating is applied and adjusts the scope accordingly.

Small cracks widen through freeze-thaw cycles. Water enters, expands in winter, and forces the edges apart. A crack that costs little to fill today can spread across the slab and require a partial rebuild if left through a Virginia winter.

A full scope covers pressure washing, minor crack filling, a levelling coat where needed, two acrylic colour coats, and regulation line marking. Each item appears as a separate line in the written estimate so you can see exactly what is and is not included.

A detailed quote separates crack repair, surface prep, coating, and line marking as individual line items. A single lump-sum price makes it impossible to know what is included or what gets cut if the job runs over budget.

Minor patch work is possible, but full resurfacing requires even surface prep, proper crack filler, and consistent coating application. Uneven coats or skipped prep steps result in rough spots, peeling, and a surface that needs redoing within a season or two.
