Are your court colours fading or peeling? Has the surface become too slick? Are the standing puddles after a rainfall? Has the surface begun to crack? Are the old net posts leaning? If the answer is yes to any of these problems, give us a call. We would be happy to arrange a free consultation and provide an estimate to resurface your existing court.

Pressure Washing
Over time, your courts can become dirty and stained. In some cases, only a pressure washing is required to make the courts look like new. Ancaster Court Surfaces specializes in this work using specific pressure and technique. Your tennis or basketball court can be easily damaged if special care is not taken.

Crack Repair
Ancaster is a proud to be Ontario's certified installer of the Armor® Crack Repair System. Effective in sub-zero temperatures, the Armor® system utilizes a thin, expandable membrane that seals asphalt cracks and prevents them from reappearing. In fact, the Armor® system is so efficient and effective that it has been installed at the site of the U.S. Open and has been used in 2,500 tennis courts worldwide over the past 10 years. Please visit www.armorcrackrepair.com for more information.

Puddles
Using an acrylic patching compound, we can patch any areas that are ponding, which can cause hazardous and inconvenient play after the rest of the courts have dried.

Net Post Replacement
Many net posts are installed using an improperly sized and constructed footing base, causing leaning, heaved, sunken, rusted and broken posts. We install net posts using "bell" shaped footings, with net post sleeves set in wet concrete. This guarantees years of service without the worry of leaning or heaved posts. Sleeved net posts allow for easy removal for other activities or replacement if a post gets damaged. We use only high quality posts that last, with solid brass internal winds and removable handles to insure years of trouble-free operation.

Line Painting
You name the sport and we can paint the lines. We can create a design and colour scheme to facilitate any multi-sport pad.

One of the most important decisions in planning a tennis court is choosing a surface. Ancaster Court Surfaces has specialized in asphalt tennis courts since day one. The majority of courts in North America are built with asphalt for many reasons : minimal maintenance through the year, playable earlier and longer in our Canadian season, play quicker after rainfall, attractive looking and good value for the cost.

There are two main options when choosing a surface:

• Plexipave’s standard 4 coat system
• Plexicushion

The standard 4 coat Plexipave system is formulated to meet the requirements of players at any level. Considered by many to be the best combination of consistency-of-play, pace and footing, this system is ITF Category 3 rated ( medium pace). Plexipave Standard is the traditional and most widely used tennis court surface system.

The Plexicushion System combines the consistent bounce, sure footing, and outstanding durability of Plexipave with the innovative shock-absorbing properties of EPDM Rubber cushioning. The result is a sure-footed surface that dynamically responds to body impact and reduces fatigue on player’s legs ankles and feet. The multi-layered resiliency lengthens the orthopedic life of players of all ages, from juniors who are just starting to play competitively, to seniors who are enjoying the game in their golden years. . The 3 levels of Plexicushion allow players to select a tennis court surface based on desired comfort level and available budget.

Summary: Plexipave System products are manufactured under a rigorous quality control program. When installed by an Authorized Applicator, the owner and players can be assured on duplicating play conditions on the site or replicate those used elsewhere. All Plexipave Systems are classified by the world governing body of tennis -the International Tennis Federation. Plexipave Systems are used for courts surfaces at NCAA Championships, National Federation Competitions, WTA Tour events, ATP Tour events and the Australian Open. Whether a multi-court tournament facility or a residential court, Plexipave is the industry-recognized tennis court surface leader.
