Sports Court Construction & Maintenance
Professional construction and maintenance of basketball, tennis, pickleball, and multi-purpose courts
Quality Sports Surfaces for Performance and Longevity
Sports courts represent specialized infrastructure that must balance player performance, safety, durability, and aesthetic appeal. Whether for residential enjoyment, community recreation, or competitive facilities, proper court construction requires technical expertise beyond standard paving practices.
At Noble Cortes General Engineering, we understand that sports courts demand precision engineering in base construction, surface tolerances, drainage design, and finishing systems. Our comprehensive capabilities make us the ideal partner for property owners, homeowners associations, schools, and municipalities seeking quality recreational surfaces that perform exceptionally while withstanding years of active use.

The Noble Cortes Sports Court Advantage
Sports courts require specialized knowledge that many general contractors lack. Our approach delivers superior results through three key differentiators:
Performance-Focused Design
We understand that proper play characteristics depend on critical factors like slope tolerance, surface texture, and consistent ball response—prioritizing both immediate playability and long-term performance.
Structural Integrity
While surface appearance gets attention, the unseen foundation determines court longevity. Our engineering expertise ensures proper base construction, drainage, and structural support that prevent premature failure, while our technical precision achieves the tighter tolerances required for competitive surfaces.
Integrated Solutions
Our capabilities span excavation, base construction, surface installation, coating application, and accessory mounting—eliminating coordination issues between multiple contractors and ensuring all elements work together optimally.
Engineered for Excellence: Our Construction Process
Quality sports court construction requires careful planning and execution. We follow our signature Noble Cortes Advantage™ approach through comprehensive site analysis including solar orientation assessment, soil testing, drainage evaluation, and space utilization planning.
Our performance-driven design phase handles court dimensioning to official specifications, proper orientation optimization, drainage engineering, and structural section design for soil conditions. Strategic accessory placement and anchoring planning complete the design process.
Professional site preparation includes precise excavation, geotextile application where needed, subgrade compaction, perimeter drainage installation, and proper slope establishment. Our engineered base construction utilizes appropriate aggregate selection, layered installation with controlled compaction, and tolerance verification throughout construction.
Surface Installation & Finishing
Our surface installation approach varies by court type to ensure optimal performance:
Precision Surface Installation includes specialized requirements for different court types. For asphalt courts, we use tennis-grade mix designs with specialized paving equipment for smooth finishes and controlled compaction for proper texture. Concrete courts receive specialized mix designs for crack resistance, proper reinforcement placement, and controlled curing for strength development.
Professional Sport Surface Finishing involves multiple critical steps:
- Surface cleaning and preparation
- Crack-filling compounds application
- Multi-layer acrylic coating systems
- Accurate game line application to official standards
- UV-resistant finishing for longevity with appropriate non-slip texture
Complete Accessory Installation handles all finishing elements including professional post and equipment mounting, perimeter fencing systems, court access areas, seating accommodations, lighting base integration, and specialized game equipment installation.
