Court Conversions
Turn an underused tennis court into one to four regulation pickleball courts, with the right surface, lines, and net height.
What Goes Wrong
The gap between a playable court and a frustrating one usually comes down to three decisions made too quickly.
Painting new lines over cracked or deteriorated coating means markings fade fast and the surface keeps breaking down underneath.
Cracks and coating condition are assessed before any striping begins, so new lines go onto a sound base.
Overlaying pickleball lines in the same color as tennis lines creates a confusing grid that slows play and causes disputes.
Pickleball lines are painted in a clearly contrasting color so each sport’s boundaries read at a glance on a shared-use court.
A standard tennis net sits at 36 inches at center, two inches too high for pickleball, and affects every shot near the net.
Permanent posts are set at 36 inches at the sidelines and 34 inches at center, held by a center strap to regulation height.
A portable net and tape lines work for casual play but leave non-volley zone placement and court dimensions open to error.
The builder marks the non-volley zone, baselines, and sidelines to regulation dimensions so every court plays to the same standard.
Scope of Work
From a simple restripe to a full dedicated court setup, here is what each path includes.
Pickleball lines are added in a contrasting color over the existing tennis court so both sports can be played on the same surface.
Tennis lines are painted over or removed, and the court is re-marked exclusively for pickleball with up to four court layouts.
Permanent pickleball net posts are anchored in ground sleeves at regulation height, replacing or supplementing the existing tennis net setup.
Crack patching and a fresh acrylic coating layer are applied when the existing surface is too deteriorated for striping alone.
Checks cracks, drainage, and coating before any work starts.
Regulation 7-foot NVZ lines marked to exact dimensions.
Holds net center at the required 34-inch height.
Portable pickleball nets fitted for shared-use courts.
Why Choose Us
We handle the full scope, from surface assessment to final walkthrough, so nothing falls through the gaps.
Every enquiry starts with an on-site visit to assess the surface, drainage, and layout before a single line is quoted.
The written estimate lists striping, net post work, resurfacing, and any crack repair as separate line items, no surprises.
We arrange conversions for backyard courts, HOA facilities, and commercial recreation sites across the Charlotte area.
When the surface needs crack patching or a fresh acrylic coat, that work is coordinated alongside the conversion, not as a separate project.
The builder walks through the finished court with you before sign-off, so line placement and net height are confirmed on the day.
