Many different factors go into determining the cost of building a tennis court. Some of these factors include the amount of dirt work needed for the foundation of the slab, the type of tennis court you choose, the amount of fencing around the court, and the kind of fencing you want. The price of a new tennis court can fluctuate anywhere $65,000 and $100,000, depending on these factors. However, most tennis court construction projects will cost around $85,000 on average.

Whether you’re building an outdoor or an indoor pickleball court or you’re resurfacing an existing one, you’ll need to pick the best court surface option for you. There are several options to choose from, including concrete, asphalt, and acrylic coatings. Concrete is durable, outdoor court option that can resist wear and tear while remaining affordable. Asphalt is another affordable option for a pickleball court, though it may require some additional maintenance to keep looking and performing its best. Acrylic coatings are smooth, reinforced court coatings that can be used over existing asphalt or concrete. Acrylics are all-weather, non-abrasive surfaces that can be textured and are available in a wide range of colors.

The time it takes to build a new basketball court can vary greatly depending on the type of court you choose. If you’re having a concrete base poured to support an acrylic court, the process can take roughly 60 days. This is mainly because of the concrete needing to cure for 30 days. It then should take about 1 week to apply the surface material and another 1 to 2 weeks to install any accessories, such as fencing or lighting. Hardwood courts can take about 6 weeks to build. These courts require a subfloor installed, the new wood will need time to acclimate to the environment, which can take 5 to 10 days. Then it will be nailed down, sanded, sealed, and painted. After painting, the new court will have two finish coats installed to provide skid resistance.
