Comments Off on Updating Your Pool from Boring to Brilliant

In some regions, swimming pools are as common as a backyard patio. Almost every home in some neighborhoods has a pool, but that does not mean they are all the same in beauty and function. If you have a home with a pool that is subpar compared to many neighboring pools, it is time to give it an upgrade. Go from boring to brilliant with some of these pool remodeling basics.

Personalized Design

Many boring pools are cookie-cutter, a standard pool that was installed when the home was built. You need a design that reflects your style. Consider your landscaping and home style to find a pool design that will blend with your home – natural, tropical, contemporary or modern designs that will compliment your home and outdoor space.

Quality Materials

A stunning pool starts with the basic materials. Choosing elements that are made from quality materials can make a significant difference in both appearance and function. It is worth the investment to update your pool with a durable surface with aesthetic benefits and other functional qualities.

Phenomenal Features

What does your dream pool look like? While you may not be able to afford to build the pool of your dreams, you can incorporate some of the features. Add in the waterfall or sun shelves you always wanted; opt for pool automation or enhanced lighting. Make your old pool a version of the dream pool in your mind.

Remodeling and updating your boring pool can make your backyard brilliant while adding value to your home. Contact your local pool remodeling contractor to discuss the new design and elements to update your swimming pool for the upcoming season.

4 Benefits of a New Pool Surface

Comments Off on 4 Benefits of a New Pool Surface

Is your pool’s surface slick, faded or stained? Most pool surfaces only last about 10 years before they need to be replaced. If you have noticed that the surface on your pool is worn, it is time to consider resurfacing your pool – you will be happy with the results once you do. Here are four of the benefits that a new pool surface can provide.

  1. When the bottom of your pool is slick and slippery, it can be dangerous. You do not want someone to slip and fall when swimming in your pool. A new surface can restore a slip-resistant pool bottom for improved safety.
  2. Protect your pool. The surfacing material protects the shell or liner of your pool from damage. When the surface wears thin, it can put your pool at risk. A new surface will protect your investment and reduce the need for repairs.
  3. Your pool will look like new again. No matter how old your pool is, when it gets a new, brilliant surface, it looks brand new again.
  4. Add value to your home. Your pool is an amenity that adds value to your home, but a faded or stained pool surface can detract from that value. Resurfacing your pool can improve the beauty of your outdoor recreational area at your home, increasing the desirability and value of your home.

If you are ready to resurface your swimming pool, you have many options to choose from for your new surface material. Talk to your local pool renovation specialist about the different types of pool resurfacing options to find the best type to restore your pool to its former glory.

3 Signs Your Pool Needs Resurfacing

Comments Off on 3 Signs Your Pool Needs Resurfacing

If you own a concrete or fiberglass pool, the surface many need to be renovated every 10-15 years. This helps protect the pool construction and creates a safe surface for swimmers. Especially in concrete pools, it is vital to keep a protective surface; concrete is porous and will seep water. Plus, the surface of the pool is what people see; if it is worn or faded, it can detract from the beauty of your home and pool. Here are three signs to look for to determine if it is time to resurface your pool.

  1. Cracks in the surfaces. Whether they are tiny check or egg shell cracks, or deeper cracks in the surface, this is a sign it is time to resurface. Deeper cracks can lead to leaking and more intensive pool repairs.
  2. Stains, fading and discolorations. Dark stains from rust or other substances can mar the surface of your pool, but it can also mean the surface is too thin. Fading and other loss of consistent color can make your pool look dirty or unkept, which can be fixed with a resurfacing.
  3. Chipping or flaking. If pebbles are coming loose, or you notice chipping or flaking of the surface, it is time to add a new surface to your pool. This can protect the shell underneath and give your pool a new look.

There are surfaces that come with 10-15 year or even lifetime warranties. Give your pool a new look and protect it from damage if you see any signs of surface problems. Call your local pool renovation company to learn more about the many options available for resurfacing.
