The builder starts with a bounce-and-level test and a close inspection of the surface for crack width, coating adhesion, and drainage slope. Phoenix’s summer heat cycles expand and contract asphalt bases, widening existing cracks season by season. Catching a crack early means a targeted fill and recoat rather than a full resurfacing job.
Drainage faults are checked separately. Monsoon season pooling is a common complaint on Phoenix-area courts, and standing water accelerates surface breakdown. If the drainage slope has shifted, the builder identifies whether surface leveling or a drainage correction is the right fix, and the written estimate itemises each repair type separately.
Once the repair scope is confirmed, the builder cleans the surface, fills cracks or patches damaged sections, and applies a fresh acrylic coating at the correct cure interval. Playing line repainting is completed last. A final walkthrough checks surface level, coating adhesion, and line accuracy before the job is signed off.
