Company Profile

Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. was founded in 1987 to provide professional, high quality tennis court construction services to court owners throughout Florida. Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. specializes in the construction, resurfacing and maintenance of Har-Tru (clay) tennis courts. We are also the world's largest builder of Har-Tru courts with the FDC HydroCourt subsurface irrigation system. While we specialize in Har-Tru courts, we recognize that clay courts are not the right choice for every court owner. That's why we also build, resurface and repair hard courts (asphalt/concrete) and artificial surface courts (ClayTech and artificial turf). We even build basketball courts, bocce courts and shuffleboard courts.

Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. provides its customers with a complete set of tennis court construction services, everything from initial design and consultation to new construction to resurfacing, repairs, lighting, and fencing. We also offer a complete line of tennis court supplies and accessories through our sister company, 10-S Tennis Supply ( www.10-s.com ). In short, we are here to support you for the life of your court.

Geographic Reach

Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. has worked with thousands of court owners over the last 20 years and built a strong reputation as the leading tennis court builder in Florida. However, we have also developed a national reputation for excellence and were recently recognized by Racquet Sports Industry Magazine as their national "Tennis Court Contractor of the Year" for 2005. We do take on projects outside of Florida if they are a good fit for our company. We have completed projects in Arizona, Nevada, Michigan and various islands throughout the Caribbean. We can also recommend other tennis court contractors that we know and trust if we are not able to complete a project in your local area.

Customer Segments Served

Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. manages the needs of a variety of different customer segments including private homeowners, general contractors, real estate developers, country clubs, hotels and resorts, condominiums and apartments, home owners associations, municipalities, high schools, colleges, and universities.

Superior Post-Project Service and Support

Why should our superior post-project service and support play a role in your choice of a tennis court contractor? Simply because building a tennis court is a long-term investment.

Superior Value

Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. recognizes that building a new tennis court is a significant investment. That's why we take the time, effort and energy to build it right for you the first time. We know a properly build court can provide you with years of enjoyment.

Unfortunately, the opposite is also true. A poorly built tennis court will provide you with a lifetime of headaches. That is why when evaluating a tennis court construction or resurfacing proposal, you should look at more than just the price of the project. A cheaply built, low quality court built by an unqualified contractor will cost you much more in the long-run. Courts built with the wrong slope, inferior products or poor workmanship will continuously have problems. You will then be forced to spend additional time, money and aggravation to make needed repairs, which may never completely repair or correct the initial installation.

Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. offers competitive prices, but we are not always the lowest bidder. That's because it takes a significant investment on our part to provide you with the superior service, quality and insurance we describe above. Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. strives to provide our customers with the best value for their project dollar. We define value as the combination of price, service, quality and piece of mind that you receive by working with Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. You can be certain that you will get a quality project and a contractor that stands by its work when you choose Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. So, if you are considering other tennis court contractors for your project, we urge you to check references and follow up on their insurance. We don't want you to get burned by solely looking at the price of the project.

We know you have a choice when it comes to choosing your next tennis court contractor. We believe that Fast-Dry Courts, Inc. is your best option. Give us a call at (800) 432-2994.
