What we do
Sport Surfaces Distributing has been designing and building high performance athletic surfaces for over 30 years.
Our ability to construct any athletic surface, indoor and outdoor, across sports, and to maintain those surfaces on an ongoing basis makes us a one stop shop for your athletic surface needs, and as a full-service general contractor, we can manage entire, large-scale projects from start to finish.
Sport Surfaces has won the American Sports Builders Association (ASBA) facility of the year award multiple times, and our competitive pricing has earned us pre-negotiated contracts with the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA), the Association of Educational Purchasing Agencies (AEPA), and the 1 Government Procurement Alliance (1GPA).
We maintain an unwavering focus on customer value and satisfaction, and operate with integrity: Every step of the way.
