Got Questions? We've Got Answers!

Welcome to TSS Pickleball, your experienced Canadian Pickleball Court Contractor. In this section, we address frequently asked questions to assist you in understanding everything about designing and building your ideal pickleball court. Our expertise is just a query away.

Investment & Pricing

A: The cost of a residential pickleball court depends on your site, surface choice, and any custom features you'd like to include. A 30' x 60' competition-level court typically starts around $55,000 + tax, which includes:

  • Concrete pad
  • 7-layer acrylic sport surface
  • Pickleball net system
  • Full professional installation

Many families choose to enhance their court with options such as cushioned surfacing, containment fencing, lighting, or a basketball goal, bringing the total investment to $100,000 + tax or more. Every property is different, so we'll start with a consultation to create a custom estimate, ensuring your court is built to last and tailored to your specific needs and preferences.

For commercial or multi-court projects, costs depend on factors like site preparation, grading, and surfacing requirements. We provide detailed estimates for everything from resurfacing to full complex installations. To get started, contact us or complete our Consultation Form, and we'll prepare a proposal tailored to your site and goals.

Every court we build is designed to bring people together, family, friends, and communities, through the joy of sport, built for performance, connection, and memories that last a lifetime.

A: With proper care, your court can last 10–20 years or more, depending on the surface system, climate, and level of use.

Process & Timeline

A: Our full-service build means we take care of every detail so you can focus on enjoying your new court. We begin with a phone consultation to address your questions and learn more about your space. Next, we prepare a detailed estimate and scale drawing, followed by an on-site visit to review access, grading, and layout.

Once everything is approved, our team handles the entire process - excavation, concrete pad, professional surfacing, net system, containment fencing, and lighting if desired. When we're finished, your court is ready for years of play, laughter, and time together with family and friends.

A: Timelines vary based on project size, site prep, and custom features. A typical residential court takes 6 to 8 weeks, while commercial builds can range from 8 to 12+ weeks. Our focus is on quality and lasting value; we'd rather take the time to do it right than rush the process. The result is a court you can enjoy with confidence for years to come.

A: Every municipality has its own permit and zoning requirements, which can vary significantly. While we don't handle the permit process directly, we're happy to share what we've learned from past projects and point you in the right direction. Our team will provide the information you need - such as drawings, dimensions, and site details - to make your application process as smooth as possible.

Quality & Expertise

A: Since 2012, TSS has been designing and building premium sports courts across Southern Ontario, earning a reputation for craftsmanship, integrity, and long-term performance. We're honoured to have been chosen as the Official Court Supplier for Pickleball Ontario, a recognition that reflects our trusted expertise and commitment to tournament-grade quality. What truly sets us apart is our team, from our skilled installation crew to our professional office staff; everyone is driven by one goal: to deliver excellence in every detail. Every court we build is designed with care, precision, and pride, because the right way is the only way we know how to build.

A: The biggest mistake is rushing the process. A great court begins with proper planning, design, and site preparation. Our expert design team will ensure you have all the information you need to make confident, informed decisions. Skipping or rushing key steps, such as leveling, lighting design, or failing to allow the concrete to cure fully, can lead to long-term issues. At TSS, we believe a little extra time up front ensures a court that performs beautifully and lasts for years to come.

Design & Specifications

A: According to USA Pickleball, the minimum recommended playing area is 30' x 60', with 34' x 64' preferred for comfortable play. The court lines themselves measure 20' x 44'. While those are the official dimensions, our team can design creative layouts to fit a variety of spaces. Even if your yard can't accommodate a full-size court, a smaller setup can still deliver plenty of fun, exercise, and family time together. For commercial or multi-court projects, we'll work with you to ensure your design meets all relevant regulations and standards.

A: Both asphalt and concrete are excellent choices for outdoor courts, while indoor courts are typically built on concrete. The key is preparation - proper slope, drainage, and finish ensure consistent play and long-term durability. Minor dips where water may collect are common and expected; when properly installed, they won't affect gameplay. At TSS, we take the time to get the foundation right so your court performs reliably for years to come.

A: Absolutely! We love helping clients create courts that reflect their style and how they love to play. From colour choices and game line combinations to custom logos, lighting, and accessories - the possibilities are almost endless. It's your court, your design, and our expert team will guide you every step of the way to make sure the finished result is something you'll be proud to share with family and friends.

Surface & Features

A: Cushioned court systems add a layer of comfort and protection without changing the true bounce of the ball. The built-in shock absorption reduces impact on joints, feet, and muscles, allowing for longer, more comfortable play. Players of all ages appreciate the added comfort and performance — especially during extended matches or frequent play.

A: Pickleball court resurfacing is the process of re-applying the coating system to restore the court's look and textured play characteristics. This normally entails surface cleaning, crack and surface repairs, filling low areas to reduce puddles, application of base and colour coatings, and striping the playing lines. The coating system also helps to seal and protect the asphalt or concrete base and extend its useful life.

Accessories & Enhancements

A:

  • Windscreen, Divider Netting, and other netting
  • Sound absorption panels
  • Players benches, shade shelters, and court dividers
  • Power and Water
  • Spectator Seating
  • Organizers and Ball Holders

Every court we build is designed to bring people together - to play, connect, and create lasting memories. Whether it's a backyard court or a full facility, our team is here to make the process simple, stress-free, and exceptional from start to finish. When you choose TSS Pickleball, you're choosing a partner dedicated to doing it right - every time.
