The builder starts with a surface inspection that documents crack depth, drainage performance, and acrylic coating condition. Southern California’s UV exposure accelerates coating fade and surface cracking, and seasonal rain events in LA County cause pooling on courts where drainage has been compromised. HOA-managed communities across Los Angeles County often schedule this inspection as part of a regular maintenance cycle rather than waiting for visible failure.
Crack filling uses a flexible patch compound applied in stages, allowing each layer to cure before the next is added. Surface cleaning and prep follow, removing dirt, algae, and loose coating so the new acrylic bonds correctly. Resurfacing applies two or more acrylic coating layers over the prepared surface, restoring texture and UV protection. Courts that keep needing patch repairs often cost less to resurface fully than to keep fixing piecemeal.
Line repainting is the final step, using court-grade line paint applied over the cured acrylic surface. Faded or missing boundary lines, service boxes, and sport-specific markings are all redrawn to regulation dimensions. A drainage check is completed after resurfacing to confirm water sheds correctly from the finished surface. The written estimate lists each stage, inspection, crack filling, resurfacing coats, and line repainting, before any work begins.
