You don’t necessarily need a full pool renovation to upgrade your pool area. If your pool’s surface and decking is still in good shape, but you want to improve the overall style of your pool area, adding features can be the best option. With a few additions, you can make your pool area more enjoyable and beautiful. Here are four features that can spruce up your pool area without the need for a complete renovation.

  1. Underwater Lighting. Pool and outdoor lighting can make a big difference in the look of your backyard, especially at night. Underwater lighting can turn your pool into a centerpiece, along with spotlighting to enhance your landscaping and other features.
  2. Waterfalls and other waterscapes. Adding moving water to your pool area offers a relaxing sound and sparkle. Consider a waterfall, water wall or fountain to add beauty to your pool space.
  3. Spa. Spas can be added to your pool area after the fact, giving a separate spot to relax and enjoy the outdoors. There are many design options available that can complement your pool area while giving you the luxury of a massaging spa in your backyard.
  4. Fire features. Adding fire features around your pool can give your outdoor space a dazzling appearance. Flames reflecting off the water can create an entrancing area for nighttime entertaining. Consider pool edge fire features, fire pits or other options to add a different element to your pool space.

Give your pool an update without breaking the bank. Talk to your local pool remodeling service to discuss features that can give your pool a new look or improved function.

Popular Renovation Options For Your Pool

Comments Off on Popular Renovation Options For Your Pool

There are many optional features that can be added to your pool, either when installing a new pool or as part of a pool remodeling and renovation project. With summer quickly approaching, this is a great time to consider adding some of these options, which can add both beauty and functionality to your pool.

  1. Security pool cover. Pool maintenance is one of the drawbacks of owning a pool, especially keeping it clean. Investing in a pool cover is a great way to minimize the amount of debris that can get into your pool. A security cover offers even more value, protecting children and pets from accidentally falling into the pool as well. Although security covers are much more expensive than traditional pool covers, the safety they provide can be worth the investment and can reduce homeowners insurance premiums.
  2. Pool lights. Although there is little need for colorful pool lights, nothing enhances the look of a pool at night better than pool lights. For the money, it’s one of the best aesthetic options you can add to your pool, with a variety of color options available.
  3. Salt water chlorinators. Many people are sensitive to the effects of chlorine, which makes salt water chlorinators very popular. This equipment uses salt to chlorinate a pool instead of chlorine, eliminating the smell and effects that people associate with a chlorinated pool. They are also low maintenance, making them a great option for many pool owners.
  4. Fire or water features. Other aesthetic options that are very popular are water or fire features added on to a pool. Many pool owners will opt to add both, giving off delightful colors from the flames and a soothing sound of falling water.

Your local pool service company can answer any questions you have about adding these options to your new or existing pool. Have a safe and fun swim season this summer!

Pool Renovation Options

Comments Off on Pool Renovation Options

Swimming pools and spas built in the past, while completely functional, often were boring from an aesthetic perspective.  Typically pools and spas would have a white coping, dark blue tile at the water line and a white pool coating.  Pool decks would be constructed with traditional concrete.  In the past pool contractors did not have access to the wide variety of building materials today that allow swimming pools and spas to be both functional and beautiful at the same time.

Today, swimming pool contractors have access to a great deal of exciting natural and man-made materials that were not available 10 or 20 years ago.  Traditional concrete pool copings are now available in a wide variety of shapes and colors besides white.  The selection of tiles is almost endless with natural stones such as travertine and marble being available in many sizes and colors.  There are literally hundreds of glass and porcelain tiles available in different sizes and shapes, as well as a wide range of colors.   Pool coatings available include bead or pebble finishes as well as diamond brite finishes.  Pool decks can be built with pavers or stamped concrete with a wide variety of colors available.  In addition, specialized concrete coatings are available to make existing concrete decks slip resistant, as well as to keep the surface cool on even the hottest day!

There is no need to live with that old swimming pool or build a new pool, when renovations to an existing pool can be done quickly and economically.  An experienced pool remodeling contractor that specializes in swimming pool and spa renovations will be able to transform an existing pool into a work of art that matches the architecture of the home as well as blends the pool or spa into the outdoor living area.
