The per-square-foot rates a court builder quotes from, broken into pad and surfacing, with totals for each standard court size.
| Item | Rate per sq ft |
|---|---|
| Concrete pad, basic sub-base | $10.50 |
| Concrete pad, ASBA specification | $13.00 |
| Surfacing and lines on a new pad | $4.50 |
| Surfacing and lines on an existing court | $1.50 |
| Cushion system add-on | $3.00 |
| Full-court mat system add-on | $6.50 |
| Custom color add-on | $0.50 |
| Court | Sq ft | New, basic pad | New, ASBA pad | Resurface |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pickleball | 1,800 | $27,000 | $31,500 | $2,700 |
| Tennis | 7,200 | $108,000 | $126,000 | $10,800 |
| Basketball | 5,000 | $75,000 | $87,500 | $7,500 |
| Half-Court Basketball | 2,500 | $37,500 | $43,750 | $3,750 |
These are subtotals. Builders quote a range from the subtotal up to 20 percent more, depending on site access and grading. Resurface figures exclude crack repair, which is priced per linear foot. For a custom size, the sport court cost calculator applies these rates to your own dimensions.
On a new build the concrete pad is about 70 percent of the per-square-foot cost. That is why a resurface, which reuses the pad, costs roughly a tenth of a new court, and why the choice between a basic and an ASBA-spec pad moves the total more than any add-on.
Price your own court in 3 minutes$15.00 per square foot with a basic pad or $17.50 with an ASBA-spec pad, which is $27,000 to $31,500 before the quoted range on a standard 1,800 sq ft court.
$1.50 per square foot for surfacing and lines, plus crack repair at $6 to $20 per linear foot.
On resurfacing, courts over 9,000 sq ft get a volume rate of about $1.24 per square foot. New-build rates are the same per square foot at every size.
