Is it Time to Renovate Your Pool’s Surface?

Pools can last for decades when maintained properly, making them a great investment in your home. However, even if you pool is still working great, it may be looking a little worse for the wear. Over the years, the surface of your pool can become discolored, chipped and generally ugly, even when maintained. It may be time to give your pool a face-lift with a surface renovation this summer.

New Surfacing Options for Your Pool

If your pool is older, it probably was built with the plain cement or fiberglass surface that was common in most pools 10-20 years ago. The good news is that there are many more surfacing options available now that can transform the look of your pool. Some of the most popular trends in pool surfaces include:

  • Travertine or marble
  • Glass or porcelain tiles
  • Diamond brite finishes
  • Pebble or bead finishes

These new surfaces are available in a wide variety of color options, allowing you to create a bright and beautiful pool area. Choose from bright azure and Mediterranean colors or go for a natural finish with marble or travertine. Once it is completed, it will look like you added an entire new pool even though all you did was resurface your existing pool.

You won’t believe the difference a pool resurfacing can have on the aesthetic appeal of your entire backyard area. It can make your pool area more enjoyable and also add value to your home. Call your local pool renovation service today to schedule a consultation on the options available for your summer pool resurfacing project.

Brighten Up Your Pool by Resurfacing

As beautiful as a underground pool can be when it is new and clean, it can over time lose its luster and become dingy and even dirty looking. The surface of the pool can erode over time, giving in to chips, scratches and other elements that affect the way the pool looks. However, there are several ways to brighten up your pool and make it look brand new again with pool resurfacing.

Types Of Resurfacing

There are four main ways you can resurface your pool: fiberglass, plaster, tile and paint. Each has its pros and cons when it comes to expense and longevity. Depending on how much you want to spend and how deteriorated your pool’s surface is, all can give new life to a dingy pool.

–         Fiberglass. One of the most reliable resurfacing materials is fiberglass. This is applied in multiple coats with resin and can come in a variety of colors and textures.

–         Plaster. For cement pools, an affordable way to resurface is to use plaster. First the old plaster must be removed then the new plaster will be applied. Filler pebbles or quartz are often added to protect the plaster.

–         Tiles. A beautiful way to resurface is to use tile. However, this is one of the most expensive options.

–         Painting. In some cases, resurfacing is not necessary and you can brighten your pool by just repainting it if there is no major damage to the surface.

Whatever method you choose, your pool will have a new look and better appeal once it has a new surface. It will add years to the pools life and can even add to the value of your home.
