"I hired Jim to do some maintenance work on my roof which is old and in need of repair.  It's a compound roof with areas of slate, copper, and old tin.  All these areas have leaked in the recent past, and will eventually need to be replaced.  Jim knows how to work with all these materials and found the sources for leaks that others have missed.  He seems to understand how old roofs are built.  We will be talking about a larger roof project in the spring.  In one place I needed some custom molding and carpentry to repair storm damage and I was pleasantly surprised at how well Jim did this work.  He got the custom milling done for less than I could have myself. 

Jim and I are also talking about other work including carpentry, painting, drywall and bathroom remodeling.  Though the work Jim has done for me so far has been mainly roof repair and handyman type small jobs, I am convinced he is a good general builder and I intend to use him again as such.  I've already recommended him to my next door neighbor."

FAQs for tennis or game court service projects in Philadelphia, PA

Plan to resurface your court every four to eight years. Regular play, UV rays, and weather gradually wear down the surface, and staying on that timetable keeps bounce and traction consistent. Simple upkeep—sweeping, clearing drains, and sealing small cracks—can push you toward the longer end of the range, while heavy league play or harsh freeze-thaw cycles may move the date forward. Watching for early warning signs like spider cracks or standing water lets you schedule the job before damage spreads.

Tennis courts get a specialized acrylic coating, not standard exterior paint. These formulas resist UV rays, rain, and constant foot traffic, while the built-in sand smooths tiny pores and adds the right amount of grip. Sticking with an acrylic sport coating preserves color, protects the slab from weather, and delivers the firm yet cushioned feel players expect.

Most resurfacing jobs wrap up in three to seven days of clear, dry weather. Severe cracks, drainage repairs, or extended curing times can stretch the schedule by several more days. The crew will pressure wash, patch, and level the surface, apply multiple coating layers, and then stripe the court once everything cures. Planning for a full week keeps your playing calendar realistic and gives the new surface time to bond properly.

Rubber and clay are the least expensive surfacing options. Rubber sits on top of an asphalt or concrete base, so you’ll pay more up front for that foundation but spend less on future maintenance. Clay delivers a low initial price but demands regular watering and grooming to stay playable. Compare installation requirements, upkeep duties, and how you’ll use the court before deciding which budget-friendly surface fits your needs.

Resurfacing starts with a thorough power wash to clear dirt and debris. The crew then fills cracks, levels depressions, and sands the court smooth. After the prep work, they apply several coats of specialized acrylic, letting each layer cure before the next goes down. Fresh game lines are taped and painted last. The result is a clean, stable surface that restores proper bounce, grip, and color without the cost of a full rebuild.
