Branksome Hall looked into the challenge of resurfacing our four tennis courts in the summer of 2000. We had very little knowledge in how to best tackle this project but we knew we wanted to do it right and in a cost effective manner.
We came upon Tennis Universal on their website and more specifically Allan Gardner, who from the start was instrumental in guiding us through the project from start to finish.
Allan was helpful in giving us sound advice so that we could make prudent decisions. In our case, resurfacing the courts was in order due to the severe damage of one of the courts. Allan communicated with our asphalt contractor to be sure they understood exactly what repairs were required. We purchased Tennis Universal’s Do-It-Yourself “MultiMate” color coating system, employed a working foreman from Tennis Universal to guide our staff until they were comfortable with the repair and application process, and the results speak for themselves. We are very pleased with the attractive appearance of the courts and I would say the project was a great success. We are confident that we will now be able to maintain our courts without the need of a contractor. I would add that we were under very tight time restraints due to summer camps and the return of school and Tennis Universal was able to deliver on time.
I highly recommend Tennis Universal to any facility thinking of refinishing their courts in a cost effective way and wanting their maintenance staff to learn how to maintain their court surfaces in the future.

PRIVATE COURT OWNERS
we discovered Tennis Universal on the internet in June 2004 and ordered a complete set of all products needed to refurbish our private court. My wife and I did the job ourselves and found all the paint materials to be excellent, getting the coverage as stated so we had enough to finish the job. The instructions on the internet were also accurate and very helpful. Tennis Universal went out of their way to send by 2 day air a replacement squeegee that had gotten lost in the original shipment. I highly recommend buying the squeegee as it was a major time saver for spreading the paint. Our court turned out beautiful and we are extremely satisfied. We will definitely order from Tennis Universal again!

we resurfaced our residential tennis court three years ago with Tennis Universal's MultiMate products. It has held up very well, and Tennis Universal's prices, expertise and courteous service were hard to beat.

we purchased Tennis Universal's base-mounted low-mount lighting system in 2003. We are very pleased with a great lighting system. The lighting system works exactly as stated on Tennis Universals web site. The glare-free lights are great to play under and they do not bother our neighbors. Thank you Tennis Universal for an excellent product

I am a financial and administrative person with a great love for construction projects and an old love for tennis. Building my own tennis court was just another of my lifetime dreams, but with most dreams an angel is always a welcome partner. Not all angels have wings - well maybe Allan Gardner has wings.
If Allan doesn't have wings then it's just one little thing he is missing because when you talk tennis, Allan had all the knowledge, expertise and supplies necessary for for to build my dream court.
My dream started with a search to understand the technical and financial elements to build a tennis court. I knew I wanted a Har-Tru surface. A local contractor scared me enough into my decision to be my own contractor when he gave me a proposal for $ 35,000.00 just for a stone wall around the court.
When I located Tennis Universal, I was calling them at unnatural hours, and even on weekends, almost always getting a real person and not a machine. After a few times I said to the person answering the phone, you must be the owner because no one but an owner works these hours. That's when Allan and I became friends in the summer of 2003.
I call Allan Gardner a friend, although I have never met him other then on the phone. A good friend is a person who is always there for you and is always ready to help. That's Allan!
Tennis Universal is a business but Allan runs it like a devoted father taking care of and educating his children. I came in a little late for the computer world so I'm still calling and talking to people. Allan always has the time to talk, educate and explain, even though almost everything I needed to know is on Tennis Universal's web site. Next week I will install the lines on my Har-Tru dream court, set the net posts and tennis net, and try out my new racquet, a gift from my son for my 58th birthday.
If you are lucky enough to have or want a tennis court, look for my angel. He's available for all that want to have a great tennis experience. Many thanks Allan.

The NYTA Winter Tennis Club, located in the former City of North York (a suburb of Toronto), has been very pleased with the excellent service provided by Tennis Universal. We recently purchased vinyl-covered foam padding to cover our light standards, to protect our members and playing public. They are very aesthetically pleasing and should last for many years. Allan Gardner took the time to find us exactly what we were looking for and at a price we were willing to pay.
I would like to thank Allan for the fast and efficient service and delivery time.

we color coated our court in 1988 and again in 1997 using the "MultiMate" products applied by our staff, and are very pleased with the attractive results. The Tennis Universal "MultiMate" can save an owner thousands of dollars and the surface lasts for years. We will certainly continue to use the "MultiMate" color coating system.

CONTRACTORS
Being a fence company for more than 15 years, we looked at the possibility of diversifying into resurfacing tennis courts. There was nobody in our area to provide this service. Resurfacing contractors were coming in from 200 miles away.
We began to research the idea by seeking a company that could provide required materials and on-site training. Everywhere we inquired, Tennis Universal's name kept coming up. We contacted Tennis Universal, and the company President, Allan Gardner, assured us that if we made an initial purchase of sufficient materials to resurface our first courts, he would personally come to Chicoutimi, Quebec (1200 km) to train our staff. With Allan's assistance we prepared a quotation, was awarded the contract, and Allan did come to our project and spent several days working with our crews. That was in July 1987. Since that first project we have been resurfacing tennis courts in our area.
We will continue to depend on Tennis Universal and their "MultiMate" products for our tennis resurfacing and court supplies. It is important to know that you can depend on a supplier over such long span of time.
