Also called: Court Construction Specialist, Pickleball Court Builder
Builds and resurfaces tennis, pickleball, and basketball courts, from grading the base to painting the colored surface and lines.
A court builder checks the slope of a new asphalt base with a laser so rain drains off but balls still bounce true. Then the crew squeegees layers of acrylic color, lets each layer dry, and paints razor-sharp lines for four new pickleball courts.
