Court Conversions
Turn an underused tennis court into a regulation pickleball setup without tearing out the existing surface.
What Goes Wrong
Skipping the right steps early leads to courts that look finished but play poorly within months.
Striping directly over unrepaired cracks lets subsurface movement push new lines out of true within one season.
The builder fills and seals cracks before any line work begins, so markings stay flat and readable long-term.
Placing pickleball courts without measuring run-off clearance leaves players with unsafe margins at the sidelines.
Each 20 ft x 44 ft court is laid out with clearance zones confirmed before a single stripe is painted.
Using the same color for pickleball and tennis lines creates confusion mid-play and makes the court harder to use for either sport.
Pickleball lines are painted in a distinct color so both sets of markings read clearly for dual-use play.
A tennis net left at its standard height changes ball trajectory and makes the game play incorrectly for pickleball.
Net posts are set or adjusted to hold the center at 34 inches, the regulation pickleball height, before play begins.
Scope of Work
From surface inspection through to net installation, here is the concrete scope of a tennis-to-pickleball conversion.
The court is checked for cracks, low spots, and drainage issues before any layout or striping work is scoped.
Worn or UV-damaged acrylic coating is replaced with a fresh coat before new pickleball lines are applied.
Regulation lines are painted in a color that reads clearly against existing tennis markings for dual-use courts.
A portable pickleball net is set up where tennis play continues alongside pickleball on the same surface.
Concrete-set net post sleeves are installed for dedicated pickleball courts that no longer need a tennis net.
Both tennis and pickleball lines are laid out together so one surface serves both sports without a full rebuild.
Standing water and slope issues identified before work begins.
Run-off clearance and court count confirmed on-site.
Crack filler and fresh acrylic coat for worn surfaces.
Center height set to the regulation 34 inches.
Why Choose Us
Every conversion starts with an honest surface assessment, not a sales pitch for the most expensive scope.
An on-site evaluation of the surface and drainage happens before any cost figure is put in writing.
The estimate lists inspection findings, repair work, striping, and net installation as separate line items.
Courts that need crack repair or a fresh acrylic coat are handled in the same project, not referred elsewhere.
Every scope covers backyard courts, HOA facilities, schools, and commercial properties across the Austin area.
The job is not closed until a walkthrough confirms the surface, lines, and net setup all meet the agreed scope.
