Finding a basketball court builder
Most courts are built by local sport court dealers, paving and concrete contractors, and athletic surfacing firms. We are not a builder. We take the details of your court and find a builder who covers your area, then name them to you before anyone calls. Good quotes break out the base, the surface and the extras, so you can compare them with typical prices such as $10,500 to $24,000 for a 30 by 50 foot half court.
A free matching service, not a basketball court builder. We find one who covers your area and tell you who they are before anything is shared. How it works
What to check before you hire a builder
- A contractor license where your state requires one, and the license number on the quote.
- General liability insurance, and workers' compensation for their crew.
- Photos and addresses of courts they have built, ideally a few years old.
- Who does the concrete: their own crew or a subcontractor.
- A written warranty for the slab, the surface and the hoop, with what each covers.
- Membership of a trade body such as the American Sports Builders Association, if they have it.

What a good quote includes
Ask for these six points in writing. Two quotes that cover them can be compared line by line.
Line items
Site prep, base, slab, surface, lines, hoop, lights and fencing priced separately, not one lump sum.
Specs in writing
Slab thickness, concrete strength, reinforcement, slope and surface product named on the quote.
Permits
Who applies for permits and HOA approval, and who pays the fees.
Schedule
Start date, cure time and finish date, and what happens if rain delays the pour.
Payment terms
Deposit size and stage payments tied to finished work, not to dates.
Cleanup
Removal of soil and waste, and repair of lawn or driveway damaged by trucks.

Questions people ask
Are you a basketball court builder?
No. This is a free matching service. We find a builder who covers your area and name them to you first. The builder surveys your site and quotes you directly.
Do court builders need a license?
It depends on the state, and sometimes the city and the size of the job. Ask for the license number and check it on your state licensing board's website.
Should I hire a sport court dealer or a concrete contractor?
A dealer usually manages the whole court and installs its own surface. A concrete contractor may pour a good slab but leave the surface to someone else. Either works if the slab spec and slope are written down.
How many quotes should I get?
Two or three is usual for a job this size. Compare the specs line by line, not just the totals.
What does a court builder need from me to quote?
The size you want, photos of the area, whether it slopes or holds water, access for trucks, and any HOA rules.
