How It Works | Peoria Tennis Court Resurfacing

Step by step

1. Assess and flood test

Cracks evaluated for movement and the court flooded to reveal where water stands. Both determine scope, and both should happen before a firm price is given.

2. Clean and prepare

Pressure washing, removal of organic growth, and scraping of any delaminating existing coating. Adhesion depends entirely on this step.

3. Repair cracks and low spots

Cracks routed and filled, or bridged where they move. Birdbaths patched and feathered, then re-flooded to confirm the water now drains.

4. Apply resurfacer and color

Acrylic resurfacer squeegeed to level texture, then color coats. Each layer needs to cure and weather conditions govern the schedule tightly.

5. Stripe and cure

Lines laid out, taped and painted to specification, then the court left to cure fully before play. Playing early scuffs coatings that have not hardened.

What you can do before we arrive

None of this is required — it just makes the visit quicker.

Flood the court with a hose and photograph where water stands, because that evidence shapes the scope and tells you whether a contractor is being thorough.
Watch the cracks across a season if you can, since whether they move is the difference between a recoat and a much larger project.
Decide about pickleball lines before striping, because adding them later means a further visit or living with tape.
Clear vegetation and overhanging branches, as leaf litter and shade promote the organic growth that undermines coatings.
Book into a settled weather window, since acrylic systems need appropriate temperature and dry conditions for each coat.
Get quotes for doing all adjacent courts together, as the per-court saving is usually significant.
