Court Conversion
Bring an unused tennis court back into play with the right lines, net height, and layout for pickleball.
What Goes Wrong
Cutting corners on a conversion creates problems that show up the first time someone plays.
Painting fresh pickleball lines over a cracked or failing surface causes the striping to lift and peel within one season.
The builder inspects the base layer before any line work is planned, so repairs happen before striping goes down.
A standard tennis net sits too high for pickleball, using it without adjustment makes the game unplayable at regulation height.
Post sleeves and anchors let a portable pickleball net sit at the regulation 34-inch center height without removing existing tennis posts.
Overlapping tennis and pickleball lines in the same color create confusion and slow down play on a shared-use court.
Permanent court striping paint is applied in a contrasting color so both sets of lines stay readable at a glance.
Marking lines before confirming how many pickleball courts fit the footprint can leave a layout that feels cramped or off-center.
The builder confirms the court count and shared or dedicated configuration before any marking or net work begins.
Conversion Options
The scope depends on whether the court will serve one sport or both, and whether the setup needs to be reversible.
Pickleball lines added alongside existing tennis lines so both sports share one surface on a schedule.
Tennis lines covered or repainted and the full court reconfigured for pickleball-only use with a clean, uncluttered surface.
Existing net lowered or replaced with a portable pickleball net set to the regulation 34-inch center height.
Removable tape or chalk lines applied so the court can switch back to tennis without permanent changes.
Cracks and level issues assessed and patched before line work begins to prevent premature striping failure.
Paint-based lines in a contrasting color for long-term clarity.
Hardware that holds a portable net at regulation height.
Up to four pickleball courts marked within one tennis court footprint.
Full acrylic coating applied when the existing surface is too worn.
Why Choose Us
Every conversion is scoped on-site and put in writing before a single line is marked.
A builder visits the court to assess the surface and layout before any scope or cost is agreed.
The estimate lists surface prep, line marking, and net setup as separate line items, no bundled guesswork.
Handles private residential courts, HOA facilities, school courts, and commercial properties across the Charlotte area.
If the surface needs patching or a full acrylic recoat, that work is scoped and priced in the same estimate.
The job is not closed until a walkthrough confirms lines, net height, and layout match the agreed scope.
