The process starts with a playing surface inspection and drainage check. Low spots, crack patterns, and any areas where the existing coating has separated from the base are mapped before work begins. Atlanta’s heat and humidity accelerate acrylic wear and crack expansion, so the inspection determines whether spot patching is sufficient or whether the full surface needs a resurfacer layer.
Cracks are filled with acrylic crack filler and feathered flush with the surrounding surface. Low spots are leveled with patch compound and allowed to cure before the resurfacing mix is applied. Coating over unaddressed cracks or low spots causes the new layer to fail at those points within one season, the prep sequence exists to prevent that outcome.
Once the surface is level and the patches have cured, the acrylic resurfacing coat is applied, followed by the color coat and regulation line markings. HOA communities across the Atlanta metro frequently manage courts where pooling after summer rain is the presenting complaint, drainage correction is included in the scope when the inspection identifies it as a contributing factor.

Evaluations That Know Atlanta Courts
Your site evaluation accounts for Atlanta’s heat, humidity, and summer rain drainage demands.
Resurfacing addresses worn acrylic coating, surface cracks, low spots, and damaged playing areas. It also includes fresh line markings so the court plays evenly. It does not correct deep base movement or major structural drainage failure, those need a different scope of work.
Will resurfacing fix an uneven bounce?
It can, when the cause is surface-level low spots or worn coating. Low spots are patched with compound and leveled before the resurfacing coat goes down. If the base itself is shifting or broken, resurfacing alone will not solve the bounce problem.
What gets checked before work starts?
The inspection covers crack patterns, coating separation, low spots, and drainage. It also determines whether spot patching is enough or whether a full resurfacing layer is needed. Nothing is skipped, the proposal is based on what the inspection finds.
How is resurfacing different from full court replacement?
Resurfacing restores the top layer of an existing court. Full replacement is for courts with base-level structural damage or drainage failure that the surface alone cannot fix. The inspection will identify which scope applies to your court.
What happens if water pools on the court after rain?
Pooling usually points to low spots or a drainage slope issue. The on-site inspection maps where water collects. When drainage correction is needed, it is included in the resurfacing scope and priced as its own line item in the written proposal.
