Riteway Crack Repair is the original patented structural crack repair system for sport court surfaces, developed in 2007 by industry veteran Thomas P. Hinding. The company specializes in long-term crack repair for tennis, pickleball, basketball, and multi-sport facilities across the United States and Caribbean. Unlike surface-level fixes that temporarily mask damage, the RiteWay System is engineered to allow existing structural cracks to move beneath the surface without compromising repair integrity. The proprietary four-step process includes applying high-strength reinforcement tape over cracks, installing a stress mat that absorbs and distributes movement, securing the system with a specialized bonding layer, and finishing with a flexible coating that restores a smooth, uniform surface. The system addresses common causes of court cracking including freeze-thaw cycles, sub-base movement, and aging surfaces. It delivers consistent play by eliminating dead spots, hollow sounds, bubbling, and premature surface failure—particularly critical for pickleball courts where flat, tournament-ready surfaces are essential. Riteway serves municipalities, Division I universities, and premier facilities through a network of certified contractors. Professional pickleball champion Tyson McGuffin represents the company as an ambassador. The company manufactures and supports the system directly from its Branford, Connecticut location, ensuring quality control and expert guidance.

The Hinding Group specializes in the construction and maintenance of recreational sport surfaces, serving as the parent company to Hinding Tennis, RiteWay, and Hinding Sports Builders. The company designs and builds tennis courts, basketball courts, pickleball courts, multipurpose courts, tracks, and turf fields. Tennis court construction services include Hard Tru surfaces, all-weather hard courts, 10 and Under Tennis courts, artificial grass courts, and Cushion Extreme systems. The company offers a standard color system for tennis courts and typically completes new tennis court projects within 30-60 days, depending on soil conditions, permits, and seasonal factors. Basketball court construction ranges from full-size courts at 100' x 50' to half courts at 45' x 45' with regulation keys and three-point lines. The company's multipurpose courts feature the "Ultimate Sports Collection" concept using a tile-based system that allows customization based on available space and local restrictions. The Hinding Group specializes in post-tension concrete construction, which, while more expensive than standard asphalt bases, can last over 50 years when properly installed. The company also provides RiteWay Tru-Bounce crack repair technology, designed to prevent cracks from returning without creating dead spots, hollow sounds, or bubbling. Additional services include winter skating rinks and field house construction.
