How We Work

A PROCESS
BUILT ON TRUST.

Pickleball court surfacing can be frustrating without the right information. Owners frequently get advice from someone who doesn’t know the full scope and end up with serious problems to sort out. We simplify the entire process.

01

Site Evaluation & Planning

We visit your site, assess the existing surface (or plan the new one), and design the layout. Court orientation, net system type, and color scheme are all decided before work begins.

02

Surface Prep

The step most contractors rush. We pressure wash, acid etch, pressure wash again, dry, address court imperfections and apply a high end two-part concrete sealer before we ever put the first coat of acrylic on the ground.

03

Surfacing & Striping

3–8 coats of premium pre-pigmented acrylic, each fully cured before the next coat. Proper texture for confident and safe play on the court. Finally every line is sealed twice before the final line is painted. No fuzzy lines, just crisp, beautiful lines.

04

Nets, Accessories & Walkthrough

Net system installed, permanent or portable. We’ll help get the system that fits your needs and budget. We will walk the project with you before we leave making sure you are 100% satisfied.

Net Systems Explained

PORTABLE VS. PERMANENT
PICKLEBALL NETS.

This is one of the most common questions we get during court design, and the answer depends on how you’ll actually use the court. Here’s our honest take.

Best For Most Homes

Portable / Semi-Permanent

  • Switch from pickleball to basketball to scooters in under a minute
  • No sleeves poured into the concrete, so one fewer place for cracks to start
  • Simplifies the build and saves money on installation
  • Durable semi-permanent systems play as well as permanent ones
  • Keeps your options open as your family’s needs change
Best For Dedicated Facilities

Permanent Posts

  • Immovable. Poured into concrete sleeves, won’t shift or blow in wind
  • Right choice when the court is purpose-built for pickleball only
  • Standard for country clubs, universities, and public parks
  • 10+ year lifespan with zero maintenance
  • Cleaner look on a single-sport facility

We install both systems and we’ll tell you honestly which one fits your project. The best time to choose is during the design phase, not after the concrete is poured.

The Truth About Pickleball Court Surfacing

THE LOWEST BID
IS NEVER THE BEST DEAL.

Pickleball court surfacing is one of the easiest places in construction to hide a bad job. The court looks great on day one, then fails within two years because the prep was wrong. Here’s what actually separates a good job from a bad one.

What You Get

The Low Bid

  • Surfacing applied over inadequate prep
  • Generic franchise paint that fades in 2–3 summers
  • Multiple subcontractors with no clear ownership
  • No moisture testing. Bubbling and peeling within a year
  • A grind-and-restart project waiting to happen
  • The most expensive way to do your court. Eventually
What You Get

The SafePlay Pro Court

  • Surface tested, cleaned, and properly prepped before any coat
  • Premium pre-pigmented systems built for Utah weather
  • One contractor, one phone number, one accountable lead
  • 4–8 coats, each fully cured. No rushed stacking
  • A court that still looks new in year five
  • Built once. Built right. The cheapest way long-term.
Frequently Asked

PICKLEBALL COURT QUESTIONS?
START HERE.

The questions we hear most from homeowners and facility managers planning pickleball court projects in Utah.

How much does it cost to surface a pickleball court in Utah?

Surfacing an existing concrete slab: $8,000–$15,000 per court. Full new construction (concrete + surfacing + fencing): $25,000–$60,000+. The biggest variable is site conditions: slope, access, drainage, and the condition of existing concrete all affect the scope.

We give honest, line-item estimates after a site visit. No mystery pricing. And we’ll tell you if resurfacing isn’t the right move. Sometimes a full rebuild makes more sense for your budget and timeline.

Should we choose a permanent or portable pickleball net system?

For most residential courts: portable (or semi-permanent) nets win. A good portable net plays as well as a permanent one but gives you the freedom to switch uses. For country clubs and universities: permanent is usually the right call.

We install both and recommend honestly based on your use case. The best time to decide is during the , not after the concrete is poured.

Can we convert our tennis court to pickleball?

Almost always yes, and it’s the fastest, most affordable way to get pickleball courts. A standard tennis court fits up to four pickleball courts depending on size, fence layout, and surface type.

Dimensions, net post placement, player run-off zones, and concrete condition all need evaluation. We’ll map the optimal layout and tell you honestly what fits, and what doesn’t.

There are a lot of court contractors in Utah now. How do I choose one?

Five years ago there were four real court contractors in Utah. Today there are dozens of , and very little real experience behind most of them. Here are the questions that separate the pros from the pretenders:

  • How many years have you actually been building courts in Utah? Not how long the website , but how many seasons of crews on courts.
  • What materials do you use, and are they pre-pigmented or mixed on site? Pre-pigmented systems hold color far longer.
  • Will you manage the concrete coordination or just show up to paint? A court is only as good as the slab underneath it.
  • What’s your warranty, and will you still be in business to honor it?

One thing worth knowing: Utah has a local franchise that sells low-cost court paint to anyone who with no qualifications, no training. That’s the single biggest reason there are so many “court contractors” now, and it’s the single biggest reason we get called to tear out failed courts and start over. Ask what brand of materials your contractor uses, and ask why.
