Built From the Ground Up
Waatti Contracting started with a simple belief: Wilmington, NC deserved a contractor who actually specializes in sport courts instead of treating them as a side job. Shane Waatti founded the company over seven years ago with that focus, and it has driven every decision since.
In the early years, we built our reputation one court at a time. We learned that the difference between a court that lasts three years and one that lasts ten comes down to two things: the coating system you choose and the crew that applies it. That is why we committed to SportMaster acrylic systems and invested in training our team to install them correctly every time.
Over 250 projects later, our client list includes HOAs, municipalities, parks departments, property managers, and general contractors across the Cape Fear region. We have built basketball courts for MrBeast's Beast Games and provided concrete work for Amazon's The Summer I Turned Pretty. Those high-profile projects validated what our local clients already knew: we show up, we communicate, and we deliver.
Today, we are a team of 30 skilled tradespeople who handle sport court design, construction, and maintenance alongside concrete coatings, epoxy flooring, and park recreation projects. We are not trying to be everything to everyone. We are focused on being the best at what we do.

What Drives Us
Four Principles, Every Project
Specialization Over Volume
We do not take every job that comes through the door. We focus on sport courts, concrete coatings, and park projects because depth of expertise beats breadth of services.
Materials Matter
We use SportMaster, SealMaster, and PurEpoxy systems because they outperform the alternatives. Cheap materials produce cheap results. We do not cut that corner.
Communicate Everything
Missed deadlines and silence are the top complaints in construction. We give proactive updates, honest timelines, and a single point of contact on every project.
Build for the Long Term
A court that fails in three years is not a completed project. We engineer every surface to last 7-10+ years because our reputation depends on long-term performance.
Credentials & Trust
Proven on Local and National Stages

Our Team
30 Tradespeople, One Standard
We employ a crew of 30 skilled tradespeople — not subcontractors picked up for a single job. Our team includes concrete finishers, coating specialists, equipment operators, and project managers who work together daily and know each other's standards.
Every team member is trained on SportMaster acrylic application, PurEpoxy installation procedures, and our five-step quality process. When we show up to your site, the crew has done this before. That consistency is what allows us to deliver 100% client satisfaction across 250+ projects.
Shane Waatti is involved in every project from consultation through final walkthrough. He reviews every proposal, visits every active site, and is available by phone throughout your project. That is the founder-involvement you lose when you hire a large corporate contractor.
