COURT RESURFACING,
AND REFURBISHING (HARD)
NRSM, Inc. sports construction crews have over twenty years of experience in the business. We use the finest, most durable court coating material in the industry, Acrytech UV-15 Colorguard which is used on about 95% of our projects. The other 5% of our projects use materials from two national leading name brands that don't require our high performance Acrytech UV-15 Colorguard.

Our professional construction and resurfacing crews focus on the North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Florida. We are also associated with other certified court builders in other parts of the country to make sure that a wider region is covered, and not just the areas listed above.

NRSM, Inc. specializes in the following sports applications

Basketball Courts
Tennis Courts
Inline Roller Hockey Rinks
Indoor Sports Structures
Miniature Golf Courses

ALL WEATHER COURT RESURFACING PROCESS

This process is done with a black resurfacer and our high performance ArcytechUV-15 Colorguard Material. With our special UV-15 protection injected in our material, our courts usually don't need a color resurfacing for four to five years compared to two to three years on the other materials out there.

New Construction usually requires two black resurfacers and three color coats. Reconditioning projects usually take one black resurfacer and two to three color coats depending on the condition of the surface and the sub-base. Minor Cracks can also be repaired at the same time before the resurfacing process will occur. We can't guarantee the cracks will not come back. Our Crews will pull old net posts and nets, clean, and paint or replace if needed. If major structural work is needed please contact out office for specific types of repairs.

AC REPAIR SYSTEM

NRSM, Inc. (with SSII) is an authorized supplier and a certified trained
installer for the complete AC Repair System.

The AC Repair System utilizes a special fabric that covers the crack. When the crack widens during the winter months, this fabric expands. However, this material will not expand where it is bonded to a hard surface like the court. Therefore, the secret to making the fabric work is how it is purposely not bonded to the court surface in the vicinity of the crack. This allows more of the special fabric to absorb movement or growth of the crack, usually without even causing the paint on top of the repair to fracture.

When completed, a "hollow" sound may be heard when the tennis ball bounces directly on the portion of the repair that is not bonded to the court. Since the fabric lies directly on top of the surface, a "dead spot" is generally not created. A hollow sound is unavoidable result of successfully repairing the cracks without the expensive alternatives of completely replacing the courts.

Although your tennis court or sport court is technically still cracked, the crack is isolated beneath an expandable membrane hidden from view. After the 36" wide repair is covered. With three coat color coating system, it is virtually unnoticeable. The layers of special fabric that are staggered in the width to reduce build-up allow the crack to expand and contract without the crack reappearing on the surface. Although it will not prevent cracks from develop else where on the court, or prevent cracks from growing in length beyond repair, the AC Repair System has successfully kept repaired structural tennis court and sports court cracks from reappearing on the surface for nearly ten years!

CRACK REPAIR ALTERNATIVE


Name/Description
Advantages
Disadvantages
Liquid Asphalt:
A solid material that is liquefied by heating, then poured into the crack to re-solidify. Same process is done on roads.
Very Inexpensive
Material gets sticky on hot days.
Not effective at all as a crack repair.
Elastic Crack Filler:
A flexible caulking usually tinted to match the color on the court. Designed for temporary repairs between resurfacings.
Very Inexpensive.
Good seasonal patch.
Does not last more than one tennis season.
Acrylic Crack Filler:
A non-flexible caulking material similar to cement that is put in the cracks. The same material is used to fill birdbaths.
Fills Crack voids well. Inexpensive.
A hairline crack will appear in this material within months.
Fiberglass Membrane:
One of the most common attempts to repair cracks. Fiberglass fabric is glued over top of the crack.
Looks good at first.
Inexpensive.
Fiberglass does not stretch, so it will fail every time it is used to fix cracks.
Sawcut & Asphalt Patch:
An area of asphalt containing the crack about a foot wide is removed and replaced with new asphalt.
Sounds impressive.
In every case, an expensive way to trade one crack for two parallel cracks.
ArmorTM Crack Repair System:
Utilizes a resilient fabric over the crack that absorbs movement. It is hidden beneath typical color coating materials.
Long term success. No machinery required.
Not too expensive.
Infrared Repair:
Propane is used to heat the asphalt around the crack in an attempt to get new asphalt to bond to the existing asphalt.
None
No long term success. Moderately expensive.
Geotextile & Asphalt Overlay:
Fabric is first laid over cracks and/or over entire court surface. Then new asphalt, about two-inches thick, is installed over the court.
Very effective crack repair.
Corrects surface planarity.
Requires heavy equipment.
Relatively expensive.
Stone Screenings & Asphalt Overlay:
New asphalt is installed over a layer of small stones which act like a bed of marbles preventing cracks from reflecting up into the new surface.
Most effective crack repair. Corrects surface planarity.
Requires heavy equipment.
Very expensive.
Total Reconstruction:
Remove existing court then build new court.
Corrects slope and planarity.
Very expensive.
Cracks could reappear.
Roll-Out Prefabricated Court Surface:
A roll of material, usually urethane rubber, is rolled out on top of the court and color coated.
Hides cracks well beneath it.
Adds cushion to the surface.
Very expensive.
Susceptible to "dead spots."
