What changes in Florida

Florida has little or no freeze-thaw, so a basic sub-base pad holds up well and crack repair on resurfacing jobs tends to be lighter. The main local variables are concrete pricing, site access, and grading. Budget toward the middle of each range unless the site is remote or sloped.

Frequently asked

How much does a basketball court cost in Florida?

A new basketball court costs $75,000 to $90,000 with a basic pad or $87,500 to $105,000 with an ASBA-spec pad, for a standard 5,000 sq ft surface. Resurfacing costs $7,500 to $9,000 plus crack repair.

What is the cheapest way to get a basketball court?

If you already have a sound concrete pad, surfacing and lines alone run $7,500 to $9,000. If you only need lines on an existing surface, the flat fee is $1,200.

Why is the price a range and not one number?

Site access, grading, and local concrete pricing move the final figure. Builders quote the low end for clean, flat, accessible sites and up to 20 percent more for difficult ones.

What does ASBA spec mean?

ASBA is the American Sports Builders Association. An ASBA-spec pad is a thicker, reinforced slab built to tighter tolerances. It costs about 24 percent more than a basic sub-base pad and lasts longer where the ground moves.
