Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about basketball court resurfacing

What to expect from surface preparation through final inspection

Unsealed cracks let water infiltrate the base, causing freeze-thaw damage in winter. A 1/4 inch crack expands to structural failure within 2-3 years, requiring full court replacement at $15,000-$25,000 instead of $3,000-$5,000 resurfacing. Water damage also creates mold and undermines adjacent concrete.

Worn acrylic coating loses traction, creating slip hazards that cause ankle sprains and falls during play. Liability increases for schools and facilities. Faded lines make games unplayable. Delaying resurfacing by one season often doubles repair costs as cracks spread and base deteriorates from water infiltration.

Resurfacing typically costs $3,000-$8,000 depending on court size, surface condition, and material choice. Acrylic coating runs $2-$4 per square foot. Modular overlay systems cost $5-$8 per square foot. Price includes crack repair, surface prep, material installation, and line painting. Full replacement costs $15,000-$25,000.

Properly installed acrylic coating lasts 5-8 years with regular maintenance. Modular overlay systems last 10-15 years and often include manufacturer warranty. Lifespan depends on climate exposure, usage intensity, and whether cracks were properly repaired before resurfacing. California sun accelerates coating breakdown without UV-resistant materials.

Yes, but all cracks must be filled with epoxy and base leveled first. Overlay or coating applied over unrepaired cracks will fail within months as movement continues underneath. Contractors assess whether base is structurally sound or if replacement is needed instead of resurfacing.

Traction coating with silica sand aggregate restores 90% of new-court grip when properly applied. Modular overlay systems often exceed new acrylic court traction due to textured tile surface. Both options meet safety standards for competitive play. Traction degrades over time and requires recoating every 5-8 years.

Acrylic coating requires 48-72 hours cure time before play. Modular overlay systems are playable immediately after installation. Full project including prep, resurfacing, and line painting takes 3-5 days. Weather affects timeline as coating cannot be applied in rain or extreme heat above 95°F.
