FAQs
What does court resurfacing involve? Court resurfacing restores the acrylic playing surface after wear, weather, and sun exposure have affected its finish. The process includes preparing the existing surface, addressing defects such as cracks or bubbling where needed, and applying fresh surfacing and color coatings before restriping. Evaluating the court first helps distinguish problems that can be addressed at the surface from pavement damage requiring more extensive work.
How are cracks repaired before a court is resurfaced? The appropriate repair depends on whether cracking is limited to the playing surface or extends into the pavement beneath it. Keystone evaluates the location, extent, and condition of the cracks before selecting a treatment. Addressing those defects before applying new acrylic coatings helps prepare a more consistent surface; simply coating over a crack does not resolve an underlying structural problem. More extensive pavement damage may require a broader renovation.
