Whether it’s putting practice or a game of pickleball, backyard sports is a beloved pastime. But what elevates these games and adds a layer of excellence is the playing surface, which makes all the difference. Through his custom game court design company, Celebrity Courts, Brandon Fiume is dedicated to enhancing family and community recreation by creating high-performance commercial and residential playing surfaces and multi-sport game courts.
Celebrity Courts designs and installs tennis courts, pickleball courts, and many other types of game courts. The company handles both commercial and residential projects, specializing in high-end surface installations for private and commercial residences.
Fiume and his team can build nearly any type of athletic surface imaginable. However, Texas-based company Celebrity Courts, with operations in Dallas and Houston, has experienced significant business growth thanks to the booming popularity of pickleball across the state.
“We build a lot of pickleball courts right now because it’s so popular,” he says. “But we still get lots of calls for multi-sport game court systems.”
Celebrity Courts can deliver top-tier court systems for just about any sport — and for Fiume, the variety keeps things interesting. “We don’t know what’s coming our way every day. It’s different,” he says. “It could be a tennis court or soccer field. We also build a lot of residential court systems right now. It could be a baseball field one day and a pickleball court the next. We kind of build whatever comes our way.”
The multi-sport game courts are top-of-the-line: Celebrity Courts offers an array of premier court surfaces, including VersaCourt, cushioned, and non-cushioned game court systems. However, where the company really shines is when it comes to turnkey solutions. The game court systems include everything from post-tensioned concrete slabs and essential base preparation to high-quality synthetic turf, fencing, and custom light poles, ensuring every family game night is flawless — any time you decide to play. With a VersaCourt system, each corner of your court transforms into a hub for a different sport. Whether basketball, tennis, pickleball, or volleyball, the court’s multiple lines, movable goals, and adjustable nets provide endless ways for the whole family to play, offering a new sport and activity in every section for endless fun.
And the best part is that these courts are engineered to perform and built to withstand rigorous outdoor and indoor play.
While functionality is certainly important when building these surfaces, Fiume pays close attention to aesthetic appeal. He is in the business of transforming spaces, and he works directly with each client to ensure their court system works harmoniously with the rest of their outdoor space. The result is a dedicated custom recreation area that adds to a property’s overall aesthetic beauty and value.
Celebrity Courts has steadily grown in popularity since its founding, and much of this growth comes from past customers referring new ones. This has snowballed into an impressive clientele, including high-net-worth individuals, professional athletes, and celebrities. It also means that executing a million-dollar deal is routine for Brandon’s projects.
What’s been the driving force behind the company’s eight-figure growth? Brandon Fiume chalks it up to his team’s reputation for going above and beyond and delivering impeccable workmanship.
“I treat every project like it’s for a family member,” he says. “We are passionate about doing it right the first time versus completing the project to turn a profit. At the end of the day, if you make a customer happy, they will spread the word. If you do something really nice for someone — exceeding expectations — they’ll share their positive experience with others.”
