Swimming pools and spas built in the past, while completely functional, often were boring from an aesthetic perspective. Typically pools and spas would have a white coping, dark blue tile at the water line and a white pool coating. Pool decks would be constructed with traditional concrete. In the past pool contractors did not have access to the wide variety of building materials today that allow swimming pools and spas to be both functional and beautiful at the same time.
Today, swimming pool contractors have access to a great deal of exciting natural and man-made materials that were not available 10 or 20 years ago. Traditional concrete pool copings are now available in a wide variety of shapes and colors besides white. The selection of tiles is almost endless with natural stones such as travertine and marble being available in many sizes and colors. There are literally hundreds of glass and porcelain tiles available in different sizes and shapes, as well as a wide range of colors. Pool coatings available include bead or pebble finishes as well as diamond brite finishes. Pool decks can be built with pavers or stamped concrete with a wide variety of colors available. In addition, specialized concrete coatings are available to make existing concrete decks slip resistant, as well as to keep the surface cool on even the hottest day!
There is no need to live with that old swimming pool or build a new pool, when renovations to an existing pool can be done quickly and economically. An experienced pool remodeling contractor that specializes in swimming pool and spa renovations will be able to transform an existing pool into a work of art that matches the architecture of the home as well as blends the pool or spa into the outdoor living area.
