When you’re dealing with HOA’s you often never know what’s going on. How do you even know if you lost it on price? The surfacing contractor could have been $1600 and maybe they got a few bids and yours was the lowest at $1400 and the others were close. At that point it would have been easier for them to just decide to let the surfacing contractor do it so they don’t have to deal with multiple vendors. That crap happens all the time and we’ve all done the same thing.
Why would you go out and buy equipment for a job you don’t have yet. especially since you live where you can get anything in one day shipping or probably drive less than 2 hours to get. And then come on here with the guilt trip because you didn’t get.
You have to know what you can do. IBS may can do a court in 3 hours because he’s got big equipment and experienced people. With your equipment, especially with bad drainage, it could be a 2 day job. Plus if you’ve been reading on here much, there’s his pricing and everyone else’s. I’m 4 hours away from him and around here they go for 700-800 each. If I was doing a $20k apartment complex and they decided to add on a tennis court then I would maybe think about it.
It all depends on your business model and how you position yourself in the market. I wouldn’t have touched that job for $1400 and I’ve got the equipment and the experience.

No guilt trip here. Just pointing out when somebody is being a jerk.
Lol, I’ll be the jerk if it helps you cope. I’ve been called worse. I thought I gave you pretty solid advice
Classic example of the old saying ‘you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink’

Hi!
We bought a house in Livingston Woods and the tennis court you posted looks like ours! And it needs to be cleaned again!
Are you able to give me a quote?
Thanks,
Lorella
