Owning a home with a swimming pool is a luxury. It gives you the perfect place to relax on a hot day and a great place to entertain friends. However, as pools get older, they show their age. Renovations give you the chance to breathe new life into a tired pool and create the ultimate space for you. We want to make sure you know about the top pros and cons of these projects before you contact us.

Change the Look

Many of the renovations we offer let you change the look of your pool to harmonize with your home’s style. Do you hate the pool’s old, tired shade of blue? With resurfacing, we help you pick a new color. We also use Diamond Brite, which has a multicolored appearance and comes in a variety of hues to add personality to your pool. Its highly durable finish won’t fade, rust, or rub off. You’ll discover more fun options when you work with us.

Downtime

Summer and early fall are the busiest seasons for pool renovations because so many people want to use their pools then. If you delay the project until then, you risk waiting weeks or even months before work can start. On top of that, you cannot use the pool while the crew works. They’ll usually need to drain the pool. The work can take several weeks or more, meaning you’re without a swimming pool during the time of the year when you want to use it the most.

Up-Front Costs

Another potential downside is the up-front cost. It’s unlikely that your insurance will cover the project, leaving you to pay for it yourself. Labor and installation can cost more than you expect before you factor in the price of the materials. Make sure you work with professionals who will estimate the total cost of the project up front and keep you updated on any changes as they work.

Property Value Increase

Choosing the right swimming pool renovation can increase your property value. You may want to go with projects that improve the look of the pool, such as changing the liner or adding a new water feature. Others let you add a hot tub or deck. Adding a fence and other features can also make the pool more appealing to buyers, which in turn leads to bigger offers.
