Every build covers the same parts, sized to your site.

• The pad is graded on one plane with a slight fall, so monsoon rain runs off instead of standing.
• The concrete slab is poured and left to cure before any coating goes on.
• Acrylic color coats go on the playing area and the surround in your colors.
• Lines are painted to the regulation layout, or to your own plan on a shared court.
• Permanent posts and a regulation net are installed.
• Fencing is sized to the site, from a single backyard enclosure to a run of courts.
• Court lighting is on the same contract, with the fixtures placed for even light across the court.

These jobs are described in Apex’s own Google reviews.

• A pickleball court at a home near Tucson, finished on time, on budget and the way it was described in the bid.
• A backyard court its owners say looks like a pickleball version of center court at the US Open, finished with the changes they asked for along the way.
• A pickleball court for a homeowner who had called four other companies and been brushed off by all of them.

More finished courts are on our work page.

• We visit the site, measure the space, and check the grade, drainage and access.
• You get a layout with the court size, colors and line plan, and a written, itemized quote for the whole build.
• The site is graded and the base prepared, then the slab is poured and cures.
• The surfacing and lines go down, then the net, the fence and the lights.
• We walk the finished court with you and hand it over for the first game.

The courts Apex builds are a concrete slab finished with acrylic color coats, the same system used on tennis courts. An acrylic hard court is the usual choice in Phoenix.

Color matters in the heat. A lighter surround runs cooler underfoot than a dark one, and a darker playing area keeps the lines easy to read.

The court itself is 20 by 44 feet, the regulation size in the USA Pickleball rules. Players need room around the lines, so USA Pickleball sets the pad at 30 by 60 feet at least and recommends 34 by 64 feet for a new court. Apex prices its standard court on that 34 by 64 foot pad.

A court that is already in place and in sound condition can become a pickleball court without a new slab. A full tennis to pickleball conversion starts at $14,500 and uses the whole tennis footprint, which fits up to four pickleball courts. Final price depends on size, condition, repairs, coating, striping and access. Pickleball lines can also be added to a tennis or basketball court in a second color, so both games stay playable.

Apex’s Google reviews include a basketball court converted and resurfaced for pickleball in colors picked to blend with its setting, and an underused game court turned into a pickleball court that its owner’s guests are very pleased with.

Recoats and conversions are priced on the page for resurfacing an existing pickleball court. A new court that mixes pickleball with other games is covered under multi-sport courts, and a full-size tennis build under tennis court construction.

Before you sign with any builder, check four things.

• Check the license. Look up the builder’s number with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Apex Courts Arizona LLC holds ROC 324026, class KA Dual Engineering, one license that covers commercial and residential work, grading and concrete included.
• Get the quote in writing, line by line. A quote that lists the grading, slab, surfacing, lines, net, fence and lights is harder to stretch later than a single number.
• Ask about the slab. A slab that cracks takes the surface with it, so ask how the base is prepared for Arizona soil and heat and how long the concrete cures before surfacing.
• Know who answers for the whole court. With one contract for the slab, the surface, the fence and the lights, one party is responsible for all of it.

Apex is a family business based in Phoenix, a member of the American Sports Builders Association and BBB accredited.

New pickleball courts are quoted per project, because the site, the slab, the fence and the lights set the price. Work on a court that already exists has published starting prices.

Final pricing depends on court size, existing surface condition, crack repair, drainage and low spots, coating system, colors, striping and site access.
