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.

Is It Time To Resurface Your Pool?

Most pools need to be resurfaced every five to ten years, depending on the type of pool and how well it has been maintained. Pool resurfacing involves taking off the old surface of the pool and replacing it with either the same material, or a new type of surface. This can fix cracks, blisters and discolorations, making your pool look like new again.

Types Of Pool Surfaces

There are a few different options when it comes to resurfacing your pool. You don’t necessarily have to choose the same type of surface you have currently. There are differences in material costs as well as labor for each type, as well as major differences in quality and longevity. Some of the popular pool resurfacing choices available include:

  • Pebble Tec. For an economical and effective new surface for cement pools, Pebble Tec is a popular pool surface product which offers value and beauty with many color options. Natural pebbles are used to give this surface a beautiful finish with low maintenance and durability.
  • Beadcrete. Want a smooth pool finish that will last, while giving you a non-slip surface? Beadcrete is a popular choice for those resurfacing older concrete pools. This pool product is stain resistant and durable, making it easy to maintain.
  • Diamond Brite. Just like the name suggests, Diamond Brite is a pool surface that will bring brilliance to your backyard pool. This product uses quartz to give pools an elegant and extremely durable finish unlike any other.

The type of pool surface you choose will depend on what type of pool you have and the size of your budget. Find out more about these and other popular pool surface products by calling your local pool resurfacing company.
