Comments Off on Three Great Ways to Update Your Pool for Summer

If you own a pool, it’s probably the centerpiece of your backyard. Every summer, barbeques or relaxing days at home are usually spent out by your pool, making it an important part of your home design. Whether you have an older pool or just a plain one in need of some pizazz, it may be time to consider some renovations. Here are three great ways to plan a pool update before the summer arrives.

  1. New surface. If you have a boring vinyl liner or your pool surface is starting to dull, a new liner can change the whole look of your pool. Consider changing to a natural option, such as travertine or marble, or brighten your pool with stylish tile.
  2. New features. Just adding on to your pool can give it a whole new look. Consider adding a spa for late night soaks. Other options include fire, light or water features to add to the aesthetic appeal of your pool with dramatic effects.
  3. New decking. Maybe your pool’s in great shape. but you still want a new look for the pool or patio area. Consider renovating your decking to give your pool a face lift. Natural stone can be a beautiful border for your pool, as can stamped concrete.

Early spring is the best time to plan your pool updates, before the busy pool season begins. You can get all your changes done and in place before the first big weekend of summer at the end of May. Call your local pool service company to begin planning your pool update now to beat the rush.

Does Your Hot Tub Or Spa Need An Update?

Comments Off on Does Your Hot Tub Or Spa Need An Update?

A quality spa can last for decades, providing you with enjoyment year round in the relaxing heated water. However, if you have a hot tub or spa which has been around for many years, it may be time to give it a facelift. There are many options available in spa remodels, which can transform your old spa into a beautiful new water feature that is as aesthetically pleasing as it is enjoyable.

Ideas For A Spa Renovation

Many of the older spas were designed with only function in mind. However, newer spas are built for both function and beauty, offering the best of both worlds to enhance your home. It is never too late to make your hot tub or spa into a showpiece! Here are some spa renovations that can change your tired spa into a work-of-art:

  • Water features. A hot trend in spas and pools is adding water features above and beyond the spa itself. A trickling waterfall or upward shooting water spouts can add to the appeal of your spa area.
  • Resurface. All spas can be resurfaced, giving them a beautiful, sparkling look even after many years of use. For in-ground spas, consider spectacular tile or quartz to bring a brilliance to your backyard.
  • Full renovation. Maybe it’s just time to go bigger and better with your spa. Talk to your local pool and spa renovation company about creating a new spa that will better fit your current lifestyle.

Whether you use your spa several times a week or only occasionally, it is worth the investment to update it with a new style. It can add to the value and beauty of your home, creating a soothing little oasis right in your backyard.

Pool and Spa Improvements

Comments Off on Pool and Spa Improvements

It has never been easier to upgrade both the appearance and functionality of existing swimming pools and spas!  Some of the most popular pool remodeling improvements include water features such as waterfalls, lighting and the addition of dual level steps.  When performed by a qualified, experienced, licensed and insured swimming pool contractor, these additions are quick, affordable and improve the spa and pool experience, as well as the appearance and safety of any swimming pool or spa.

Waterfalls and other water features are easily created by diverting water returning to the pool or spa during the filtration process.  The water is diverted so that it flows over rocks or falls directly into the pool or spa.  The addition of a waterfall or other water feature to a pool or spa is easily accomplished in most cases.  There is nothing more relaxing than the sound of running water!

The addition of lighting to a spa or pool adds to both the overall safety of the pool or spa by providing ambient lighting to the area.  In addition, it also creates mood lighting as well, which most people find relaxing.  In most cases, an experienced swimming pool contractor will be able to install the lighting quickly and with minimal disruption to the pool or spa.

In the past, most pools were not built with integral stairs, instead relying on ladders to allow people to enter or exit the pool or spa.  Dual level steps provide a very safe means to enter or exit any existing pool or spa and are both economical and relatively easy to install.
