Why Us
Why Fort Lauderdale Sports Courts?
Arranging three separate contractors for one project means three scopes, three schedules, and no single point of accountability when something does not line up.
The Site Is Assessed Before Any Price Is Given
A local builder visits to check drainage, ground conditions, and available space before a number is discussed.
Every Estimate Is Itemised in Writing
Base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking appear as separate line items, no bundled totals.
Drainage Is Designed for Each Specific Lot
Broward County’s high water table and summer storm rainfall are factored in for every site, not assumed away.
One Scope Covers the Full Project
Excavation through to acrylic coating and line marking is arranged under one written estimate, not split across trades.
A Final Walkthrough Closes Every Job
Before sign-off, you walk the finished court and raise any concerns, there is a clear end point, not an open question.
Common Failures
What goes wrong, and how it is avoided
Each of these failures comes from skipping a specific step. The fix is doing that step correctly the first time.
Poor Drainage Design
A court built without a graded sub-base will pool water after every summer storm, making the surface unsafe and accelerating surface cracking.
Site-Specific Slope Assessment
Drainage slope is set to a minimum 1 percent grade during base prep, calculated for the actual lot, not copied from a standard plan.
Patch Repair Failure
Filling surface cracks without inspecting the base means the underlying cause remains, and the same cracks reopen within a season.
Inspection Before Scope
A surface condition assessment is completed first; crack filling, recoating, or base correction is then matched to what the inspection actually finds.
Wrong Court Dimensions
A tennis-to-pickleball conversion with incorrect line spacing leaves courts that cannot be played to regulation and net posts in the wrong positions.
On-Site Layout Confirmation
The full 30 ft x 60 ft minimum footprint and net post positions are confirmed on-site before any base work or line striping begins.
Unwritten Scope
Booking a builder without a written estimate leaves no record of what was agreed, making mid-project cost additions hard to challenge.
Itemised Written Estimate
Every stage, base prep, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking, is listed as a separate line item before any work is booked.
Share the location, the sport, and any site details, we arrange a local builder to visit and assess the ground.
02
Receive a Written Estimate
After the on-site evaluation, you get an itemised estimate covering every stage before any work is booked.
03
Complete the Final Walkthrough
Once the court is finished, a walkthrough is completed so you can confirm the work before the job is signed off.

Areas We Cover
Sports Court Building in Fort Lauderdale
We arrange local court builders across a wide service area, so the same process applies wherever your site is located.
Do I need a permit to build a basketball court in my backyard?
In most cases, yes, Fort Lauderdale and Broward County municipalities require a permit for permanent outdoor court construction, including grading, base work, and any fencing or lighting. Requirements vary by lot size, setbacks, and HOA rules. Our partners confirm local permit requirements during the on-site evaluation before any work begins.
Why does a court site need grading before the build?
Grading moves water away from the court instead of letting it pool on the surface. It also creates a stable, level base so the surface is less likely to shift, settle, or crack over time. In Broward County, where the water table is high and summer storms are heavy, correct drainage slope is a structural requirement, not an optional step.
How do I know if the court needs repairs or a full resurfacing?
Small cracks, faded lines, and light surface wear often point to targeted repairs. Widespread peeling, repeated pooling after rain, or an uneven base usually mean the full surface needs attention. An on-site inspection identifies the root cause before any repair work is quoted, so the estimate addresses the actual problem.
Do I need a permit to build a sports court in my backyard?
Permits are more likely when the project includes concrete work, drainage changes, lighting, or fencing. Local rules in Broward County vary by municipality, and HOA communities may also require a design review. The on-site evaluation covers what approvals apply to your specific site before any work is scheduled.
What happens if I delay resurfacing a cracked court?
Small cracks spread into the base layer when water gets underneath and the sub-base softens. What starts as a resurfacing job becomes a base rebuild, which costs significantly more. Broward’s rainy season accelerates this, water enters the crack, expands, and widens the damage with each storm cycle.
Will the written estimate cover everything, or will costs be added later?
The itemised estimate lists base preparation, surfacing, fencing, lighting, and line marking as separate line items. No work is scheduled until you have reviewed and agreed to the full written scope. There is no verbal-only agreement, scope changes after sign-off require a written update before any additional work begins.
