That's the standard we build every day.

02 · Materials

We surface exclusively with Plexipave.

Every court we finish is coated with California Sports Products Plexipave — widely regarded as the highest-performing acrylic sport surfacing system manufactured in America, and the system specified on professional tournament courts worldwide. It costs us noticeably more per gallon than the commodity coatings most contractors default to. We pay that premium on every job, without exception, because it is the difference between a court that looks new for a decade and one that chalks out in three summers.

  • Cooler underfoot in peak summer — Plexipave's CoolTop solar-reflective topcoat carries solar reflectance ratings 20–30% higher than standard court coatings, so the surface absorbs less heat and plays comfortably on triple-digit SoCal afternoons
  • 100% acrylic, UV-stable pigment load that resists fading and chalking — vivid color retention year after year of full sun exposure
  • High-density silica-graded texture engineered to resist scuffing, abrasion, and shoe-sole marking from daily play
  • Superior binder chemistry for exceptional adhesion and film integrity in high-heat, high-UV Southern California climates
  • Full Plexipave color palette (23+ tournament shades) with precision multi-sport striping
  • Cushion, pace, and surface texture specified to how your family actually plays

Heat comparison

Why a Plexipave court plays cooler in a SoCal summer.

Dark acrylic soaks up sunlight and holds it — that stored heat is what makes most backyard courts unplayable by mid-afternoon. Plexipave's CoolTop topcoat uses solar-reflective pigment technology rated 20–30% higher in solar reflectance than standard court coatings, so far less of that energy ever turns into surface heat.

Trusted by the neighborhoods we build in.

William was hands-on and easy to work with from start to finish. The court came out cleaner than we imagined and has held up beautifully through a full SoCal summer.
The Bennett Family · San Juan Capistrano, CA
We interviewed three guys. Trax was the only one who actually designed with us, not at us. Finish is showroom quality.
Michael R. · Rancho Palos Verdes, CA
Plays exactly like the club pickleball courts we love. Our house is now the Friday night hangout — thanks a lot, William.

05 · FAQ

The questions we hear most often.

Still weighing your options? Text a photo of your space to 951-798-9144 and we'll give you a straightforward read on what it needs — and what it doesn't.

How long does a court resurface last?+

Expect 7–10+ years of great-looking, great-playing surface with standard maintenance. Every project is backed by our 5-year workmanship warranty.

How long until we can play on the new court?+

For safety and cure, we recommend waiting 24–72 hours. The surface is usually dry and walkable within a few hours, but full cure gives you the best long-term performance.

Can cracks come back?+

Not on our courts. Rigid concrete patch fails as the slab moves, so we use specialty flexible caulking that expands and contracts with slab movement to prevent hairline fractures from returning.

Can you paint any color or add a logo?+

Yes. Any aspect can be customized — colors, striping layouts, logos, even full-court murals. We build exclusively with California Sports Products Plexipave, so the palette is essentially unlimited.

Does the court get too hot in the summer?+

Less than you would expect. Plexipave's CoolTop solar-reflective topcoat reflects 20–30% more solar energy than standard court coatings, so the surface holds less heat and stays noticeably cooler underfoot on triple-digit afternoons. We will also guide your color picks toward combinations that stay cool without giving up the look.

How do I maintain my new court?+

We include one free pressure wash / surface cleaning as a thank-you for choosing us. Beyond that, we recommend a Roll-Dri to keep standing water off the surface — that alone dramatically extends the life of the finish.

Do you pressure wash first?+

More than that. We use specialty chemicals to deeply cleanse the surface before any coating goes down, so the paint adheres properly and lasts. A quick pressure wash on its own is not enough.

What warranty do you offer?+

Every project comes with a full 5-year workmanship warranty. Client satisfaction is guaranteed — we don't consider a job finished until you're satisfied.

What else do you handle besides resurfacing?+

Everything court-related: new-court construction, basketball hoop installation, windscreens, net poles, chain-link fence painting, court lighting, and full backyard build-outs. One crew, start to finish.

Do you build multi-sport courts?+

Regularly. Basketball, pickleball, and tennis lines can be layered so the finished court reads intentional rather than cluttered. Our Court Designer lets you preview combinations first.

Do you work with HOA communities?+

Frequently. We handle submittal packages, coordinate with property managers, and match community design standards throughout the project.

How quickly do you respond?+

Same day. Call, text, or submit the estimate form — William personally reviews every inquiry.
