New England's court builder since 1972
Northeast Padel sells, engineers and installs padel courts in New England and the Northeastern United States. We're a division of Cape and Island Tennis & Track, which has built racquet courts in the region for more than 50 years.

What we do
We sell and install American-built courts, and select imported courts where they suit the project. Depending on the project, we can handle delivery, assembly and commissioning, indoors or out.
Structural drawings for the court and its foundation, engineered to ASCE 7 for the design wind speed at your site. Stamped structural drawings are available for your permit application.
Concrete forming, placing and finishing, plus grading and drainage, so the court sits on a foundation designed for it.
For architects and facility planners adding padel to a new or existing building: court placement, clearances, structural coordination and code review, starting at schematic design.
Projects
Before you buy a court
Outdoor padel courts fall under the International Building Code, which points to ASCE 7 for wind loads. Many imported courts are rated to Eurocode instead, which uses a different wind speed definition. A U.S. building department won't accept that rating on its own.
Every court we build is engineered to ASCE 7 for its site, with the glass in place. Stamped structural drawings are available.
| Standard | Wind speed basis | Meets U.S. code? |
|---|---|---|
| ASCE 7 (USA) | 3-second gust | Yes, required |
| Eurocode EN 1991-1-4 | 10-minute mean | Not on its own |
What's different
Every court is engineered to ASCE 7, the standard the building code points to. Stamped structural drawings are available.
Our president, Eric Loftus, chaired the editorial board of the ASBA/USPA Padel Court Installation and Maintenance Manual, the first U.S. national standard for padel construction.
Our crews, and any trade partners we bring onto a project, are licensed, insured and held to our construction standards.

Questions
In New England and across the Northeastern United States. If your project is farther away, ask us.
Depending on the project, we can handle site assessment, the court system, foundation design, engineering documents, slab construction, installation, commissioning, and maintenance on courts we build.
It depends on the site as much as the court: indoor or outdoor, the wind load at your address, the court type, where it ships from, site work and access, permits and location. We give preliminary pricing on the free planning call. See what drives the cost.
Usually, yes. Every town handles it differently, and the requirements are very local. We put together the design package your building and planning departments review. Engineer-stamped drawings are available as an added service when your town requires them.
Often, yes, but the existing court almost always needs some modification. It depends on what the court was built from, its condition and a few other factors. Hard courts and clay courts aren't stable enough to carry a padel court without added foundations. On an asphalt court, we typically cut a perimeter beam into the existing surface. A site visit tells us what's needed. One tennis court can be converted to one padel court and one pickleball court on the existing court base. More on conversions.
American-built courts, and select imported courts depending on the situation.
Yes. Through our parent company, Cape and Island Tennis & Track, we also build tennis courts, pickleball courts and running tracks. If padel is part of a larger racquet sports project, we can take on the whole project.
