Unfortunately, it took me a few failed attempts working with other folks to land on Center Court Sports. And what a difference working with Alister has made!!! His knowledge and customer support are unsurpassed. As someone who was somewhat overwhelmed by taking on such a large-scale project, my concerns were quickly squashed after an initial call with Center Court Sports which laid out all the details of the project at hand. I truly have never felt so listened to and taken care of! As someone who works with contractors and trades often, I appreciated the client-centered support and availability. From answering questions to talking us through all the prep work, they truly provide top-notch services and customer support that elevates the experience. It truly has been a great experience and I highly recommend working with them! **Comment from Center Court Sports:** > Thank you, it was definitely a pleasure working with you! **★★★★★ — kevin\_klipfel, March 2022** > Had a basketball hoop installed. Would highly recommend to friends and neighbors - very well executed by the team. **Comment from Center Court Sports:** > Thank you Kevin, great working with you! I hope you enjoy your hoop **★★★★★ — Colt, Feb. 2022** > Excellent product and suburb customer service. Any questions we ran into were quickly solved by the team. We would use this company again without hesitation! **Comment from Center Court Sports:** > Thanks Colt for the review! I hope your team enjoys your basketball court for a long time **★★★★★ — George Murphy, Jan. 2022** > Alister did a great job building a backyard pickleball court for me. His crew installed a flat concrete slab on my slightly sloping property. Then the versacourt tiles for the pickleball court were installed atop the concrete. The last step was installation of black vinyl coated cyclone fencing, with a gate, to surround the court. All of the measurements & dimensions were exactly as I wanted them, and I love my court. **Comment from Center Court Sports:** > Hi George, I'm so happy you enjoy your new pickleball court! ## Selected projects - [Palo Alto pickleball and basketball court](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/palo-alto-pickleball-and-basketball-court-pj-vj~7374833) - Location: Palo Alto, CA - Photos: 1 - [Pleasant Hill pickleball courts](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/pleasant-hill-pickleball-courts-pj-vj~7374836) - Location: Pleasant Hill, CA - Photos: 1 - [Lafayette tennis court](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/lafayette-tennis-court-pj-vj~7374831) - Location: Lafayette, CA - Photos: 1 - [Basketball Court](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basketball-court-pj-vj~7154462) - Location: Los Gatos, CA - Photos: 3 - [Walnut Creek Pickleball Court](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/walnut-creek-pickleball-court-pj-vj~7100087) - Location: Walnut Creek, CA - Photos: 1 - [San Jose Tennis Court](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/san-jose-tennis-court-pj-vj~7100086) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 2 - [Basketball Court in Lake Tahoe](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basketball-court-in-lake-tahoe-pj-vj~7100110) - Location: South Lake Tahoe, CA - Photos: 1 - [Indoor Gym in San Jose](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/indoor-gym-in-san-jose-pj-vj~7100099) - Location: San Jose, CA - Photos: 1 - [Multi Court in San Rafael](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/multi-court-in-san-rafael-pj-vj~7100102) - Location: San Rafael, CA - Photos: 1 - Description: basketball, four square, pickleball - [Oakland Basketball Court](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/oakland-basketball-court-pj-vj~7100096) - Location: Oakland, CA - Photos: 1 - [Basketball, Pickleball, Shuffleboard Muticourt](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/basketball-pickleball-shuffleboard-muticourt-pj-vj~6826832) - Location: Palo Alto, CA - Photos: 1 [See all 11 projects](https://www.houzz.com/professionals/backyard-courts/center-court-sports-pfvwus-pf~130357780) --- *Source: Houzz professional profile.
