Resurfacing your basketball court is more than just a cosmetic improvement. If your court is starting to show signs of wear and tear, professional resurfacing can restore its original condition and performance. Maintaining a high-quality surface is necessary in Michigan’s harsh winters and varying weather conditions.

Why Opt For Resurfacing?

Over time, basketball courts naturally deteriorate due to weather, heavy use, and aging materials. To keep your court in top shape, here are a few reasons why professional resurfacing is a smart investment:

Better Player Safety

Over time, cracks, uneven surfaces, and worn-out coatings can become serious hazards on your court. These imperfections increase the risk of falls, sprained ankles, and other injuries. When you opt for a professional resurfacing job, experts assess the current condition of your court and smooth out any imperfections.


They use specialized materials to create a surface that provides excellent traction and reduces the risk of accidents. Regular resurfacing helps your court last longer and provides a safer environment for players, reducing the chances of avoidable injuries during the game.

Improves Game Performance

A smooth, even surface is important for optimal basketball performance. Worn-out courts can affect ball bounce, player movement, and overall game flow. Resurfacing restores the court's texture and grip, allowing for consistent ball behavior and smoother transitions. Resurfacing helps players experience a high-quality surface that improves the speed and intensity of the game.

Increases Drainage Efficiency

Your court’s surface may develop drainage issues as time goes on, leading to puddles or standing water after rain. With professional resurfacing, you modify the court’s drainage system, helping water flow freely and preventing pooling. This prevents damage caused by water buildup and reduces downtime after bad weather, keeping the court playable.

Allows for Custom Features

Beyond restoring the surface, professional resurfacing offers the opportunity to incorporate custom features like unique logos, specific color schemes, or specialized court markings. These personal touches can improve the court’s appearance.

What to Expect during a Resurfacing Process

Resurfacing your basketball court involves several important steps for a smooth, durable, high-quality finish. Here’s what you can expect during the process:

  • Initial Inspection: A professional team will assess the court’s condition, identifying cracks, uneven surfaces, and wear patterns.

  • Surface Cleaning and Preparation: They clean the court thoroughly to remove dirt, debris, and any loose materials and get a clean resurfacing base.

  • Crack Repair and Leveling: Any cracks, holes, or uneven areas are filled and leveled to create a smooth, even playing surface.

  • Application of Base Layer: A base coat is applied to reinforce the surface, adding durability and a foundation for further layers.

  • Color Coating and Line Painting: After the base coat, color coatings and court lines are applied using high-quality materials for longevity and aesthetics.

  • Final Inspection and Curing: The court is inspected for any imperfections, and the surface is allowed to cure for optimal durability and performance.
