About us
Started by people who have laid courts.
Sport Surface King grew out of years spent on job sites: installing surfaces from the ground up, patching cracks, painting lines, and learning best practices to deliver to customers their dream surface.
We kept seeing the same two problems. Contractors rarely had the time to walk customers through every surface option. And owners were left unsure what their site needed, or what it would take to get the court they had in mind. So we set up a service that sits between the two and makes the job clear and streamlined for both sides.
How we work
Three rules we don't bend.
Scope comes first
No contractor sees your project until we agree on what the job is. That way everyone starts from the same plan.
Local crews only
Freeze-thaw in Winnipeg is not the same as rain in Vancouver. We match you with people who build in your climate.
We stay honest
If resurfacing won't fix your court, we'll say so. If you don't need a rebuild, we'll say that too.
How we vet contractors
What a crew has to show us before we send them your file.
Current liability insurance and provincial workers' compensation coverage
References from recent jobs, which we call
Finished courts we have seen in person or through detailed site photos
Experience with the surface system they want to install
Warranty terms written down, not promised on the phone
Our vetting doesn't stop at approval. After every project, we check in with the owner on their satisfaction and update our vetted contractor directory with their feedback.
Where we work
Coast to coast, with crews who know the local ground.
We work with contractors and property owners in every part of the country.
