The swimming pool contractors from Imperial Pools discuss pool renovation project ideas
Swimming pool renovation projects are part and parcel of owning a pool. The amount of time you spend in the pool, the quality of your maintenance routine and the age of your pool liner or shell and the equipment will help determine when it’s time for a pool renovation. There are other reasons for a renovation though — perhaps you just want to breathe new life into your existing swimming pool and a renovation project can do just that.
Are there ways to tell whether it’s time for a pool upgrade? The swimming pool builders from Imperial Pools, Inc say definitely, “yes.” He can help you decide when and how much to renovate and what items are for aesthetics
and what are necessary for ongoing pool viability. Here are some options to consider:
- Does the pool just look “tired” and out of date? If you’re looking at the pool aesthetics you have likely already decided that they are out of date. Adding new coping or pool tiles or even a new liner will amp up the beauty.
- Are the pool tiles smooth? Are there cracks and stains on the pool wall or floor? These signs of aging show a diminished viability of the pool structure and it is time to remodel. Harsh weather will lead to many of these items occurring.
- Has your family outgrown your current pool? This could be taken literally or figuratively. Is the pool too small for your family? Has the family grown up and now you’d prefer a hot tub or spa at one end? Perhaps the children are older and they’ve been begging for a diving board or slide?
- Does your pool still elicit “oohs” and “aahhs” when you look at it or when guests come over? If not, and if you want that feeling back, you may want to undertake an even larger pool remodel and go big to make sweeping changes to the pool size and structure or even add a beach entry.
- You don’t spend all of your time in the water when you’re poolside, right? Of course not. Because of that perhaps an upgrade to your outdoor living space is in order. You could add a pool house, a shaded seating area, new trees or plants or a paver walkway and even some lighting.
Plan your pool remodel with care and consider the entirety of the project before you begin. Put your budget in place and then talk with your pool contractor. Remember, timing is everything and depending on when you start the project you may have to give up some summer swim time.
