$1500 including one or 2 goals and striping the court with your name or insignia

My buddy just install a soft court for his kids and it was 20 grand it has a 10 foot fence and 4 goals and I think it has 4 lights poles and one set of bleachers. Really cool set up but I not sure it was really worth that much but then again he has the dough to blow.

I can't see building a good court for any less than 5 dimes.

You would have to find a desperate contractor to do it for under 5 dimes. Then, how would it turn out?

I would guess around 15-20 dimes

Im just talking a good goal and a decent size concrete slab for shooting and 2 on 2

 

[whalewager]

10 dimes?

can't be that hard. pour concrete to form a basketball court. let it harden. put up a hoop or 2 and there you go.

if you want the real arena hardwood used in the nba though you'll be spending thousands.

wouldn't asphalt/black top be cheaper??

 

[gtc08]

a sport game court costs like 20k

most worthless investment ever, especially in the state of indiana with harsh winters. And yes, I know who the original poster is.

15-20k range.

Speaking of courts. I did a google earth over Beverly Hills out of boredom. Nearly every home has a tennis court. I could not find one basketball court.

It was almost nausiating to see so many homes congested together and almost all having private tennis courts.

I was thinking about doing the same thing a few years back. One guy came over and gave me an estimate of around 5 grand. This doesn't include the goals (anywhere from $500-$1500 apiece). Then about 2 weeks later another guy came over and gave an estimate of 1500.
So just keep getting estimates. I would guess there are a lot of people who can do this type of work that are laid off or whatever and can really use the business.

Southern Indiana weather is much milder than Northern.

I sell/install game courts. Even I live in Connecticut. Check out the courts I build the last 3 years. www.snapsportsct.blogspot.com

I am shocked at the prices that you guys are quoting.

Matt is just talking about a cement court. I am still sticking with my original guess somewhat.


I will increase it up to $2500, but I am not going any higher than that for a cement basketball court

Full court cost me 6000 20 years ago
