Styles change, from the clothes in your wardrobe to the interior and exterior décor in your home. While you may update your home furniture, landscaping and interior design every few years, there may be one area that may no longer match your style. Pools can become outdated, especially when you have changed the surrounding elements to a different style. If your pool no longer matches your home or outdoor space, it may be time to update the style.

Function Versus Features

Was your pool originally designed for function not fashion? Simple pools are fine for function, but if you have embellished other areas around your home, it may be time to add features to your pool. You can add some pizazz to your pool with features like a waterfall, elegant lighting or fire features. Maybe it is time to add a spa? There are many features that can help match your pool to your current style.

Shabby Surfaces

If you added a new patio or updated your landscaping, but your pool surface and deck looks shabby, it is time for a makeover. Stains, faded tiles or chipped surfaces on your pool surfaces can look out of place when everything around your pool is updated. Resurfacing your pool can have a dramatic impact on the appearance and help protect your pool. If your pool deck is also dull or worn, consider repaving with natural stone or other stylish options to update your pool.

Your pool area is an important asset and integral to your home’s value and appearance. Keep it updated to match your style to maintain that value. Contact your local pool renovator company to discuss options for updating your pool to match the style of your home and outdoor space.

5 Signs It’s Time to Resurface Your Pool This Year

Comments Off on 5 Signs It’s Time to Resurface Your Pool This Year

Owning a swimming pool requires maintenance to keep it safe, functional and aesthetically appealing. One of the areas that needs attention every 5-10 years is the surface material. When the surface becomes worn, it can create safety issues and make your pool look rundown. Here are five signs it is time to resurface your pool.

  1. Bleached areas. Do you have white spots or areas that have become bleached in the sun? This can make your pool look old – consider resurfacing with a high-quality material that is fade resistant.
  2. If there are spots that are worn smooth, this can be dangerous. You want a pool surface that gives your traction without being so rough that it hurts your feet.
  3. Pitted surface. Poor chemical balance can cause etching or a pitted surface on your pool. Keeping up with chemical maintenance can prevent this issue, but once it occurs, resurfacing will be needed to fix the problem.
  4. The surface of your pool can become stained from algae, mildew and other issues. Copper piping can corrode and create green stains in your pool that will need to be removed with resurfacing.
  5. Mineral residue. Minerals in your pool water can leave residue on the bottom of your pool; they can also stain your pool surface as they oxidize. Iron and manganese are two of the most common culprits.

If you have any of these signs or just want a new look for your pool, talk to your local pool remodeling contractors about resurfacing your swimming pool. There are many beautiful pool resurfacing options that can last for years to improve the look and safety of your pool.
