Frequently Asked Questions

We work on tennis, pickleball, basketball and shuffleboard courts — on both asphalt and concrete surfaces. We also install cushioned tennis and pickleball courts (4mm, 6mm or 8mm rubber cushion) and permanently adhered rubber cushion flooring for gyms and sports facilities.

Every court is different — price depends on the court’s size, its condition, how much crack repair it needs and the colors and lines you choose. That’s why we don’t publish a price list: we inspect your court and give you a free, written estimate with a clear price on paper, with no pressure and no obligation.

Most residential courts are finished in 3–5 working days; multi-court facilities typically take 1–2 weeks. Your court is playable within 24–48 hours after the final lines go down.

Our season runs April through October and fills up fast. We recommend booking 6–8 weeks ahead — call now to get on the schedule.

Yes! Cracks are repaired before any acrylic resurfacer is applied, following American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) specifications. Fast Times Tennis is a certified installer of RiteWay Crack Repair Systems — a guaranteed no-return crack repair system for large cracks — as well as Armor Crack.

Yes. One tennis court can be converted into as many as four regulation pickleball courts with permanent net posts — or we can add pickleball lines over your tennis court so it serves both sports.

A cushioned court has a 4mm, 6mm or 8mm rubber cushion glued to the asphalt or concrete base, sealed, and finished with acrylic or upgraded urethane color. It costs more up front than a standard hard court, but it’s easier on players’ joints, and cracks that form in the base below don’t show through the cushion. We install it on new and existing tennis and pickleball courts — ask us to price both options on your free, written estimate.

Yes. We install high-quality rubber cushion flooring in 4mm, 6mm or 8mm for gymnasiums, sports complexes and anywhere a rubber cushion floor is needed. It’s permanently adhered to the subfloor, so it won’t shift or curl like loose mats. Call (724) 388-0467 for a free, written on-site estimate.

Fast Times Tennis works out of Indiana, Pennsylvania. We service all parts of Western Pennsylvania, Western New York, Eastern Ohio, Northern Maryland and some parts of West Virginia. See every area we serve.

We primarily use Laykold and Acrytech acrylic systems. Laykold is the surface of the US Open and Miami Open, and Acrytech is the Official Surface of the Professional Pickleball Association. Both are acrylic coatings made specifically for horizontal asphalt and concrete surfaces, holding sand for the texture and grip your game needs. Cushioned courts can also be finished with an upgraded urethane sport surface.

On new asphalt, we apply a minimum of 2 coats of acrylic resurfacer plus 2 coats of texturized color paint.

With heavy play, plan on every 3–5 years. Many courts go 5–8 years between resurfacings when cracks are repaired along the way.

The most common combination is a US Open Blue playing area with a US Open Green exterior — but Laykold and Acrytech offer a wide variety of colors. Try them all on your own court with our free Court Designer!

With a good base and quality asphalt, a court can last upwards of 30 years with proper maintenance and timely resurfacing. Planning a new court? Start with our tennis court construction planning guide.

Watch for loss of textured grip (the court plays faster than it used to), and peeling or flaking color coats — those mean the surface is overdue. Our guide to tennis court resurfacing covers the warning signs in detail.

Keep weeds under control, clear debris, hose off dirt, use a Rol-Dri squeegee for standing water, take nets down for winter, and never use rock salt or harsh chemicals on the surface.

Yes — but pressure washing removes some texture and grip, so plan to resurface soon after a deep pressure wash.
