Renovating Your Swimming Pools

Renovating Your Swimming Pools

There are many changes that can be made to a swimming pool to update it or even completely change the look. Some pool owners desire dramatic overhauls such as tile & coping replacement, interior finish resurfacing, deck replacement, and/or adding a rock waterfall or even a spa to an existing pool—virtually anything is possible. Due to the availability of new products and materials that weren’t available when the existing pool was constructed, most of these renovated pools look and function better than they did when they were new. Other pool owners simply make small changes to their pool such as adding a computerized pool/spa control system, filtration equipment replacement, adding a heater, or replacing their automatic cleaning system.

Many times a pool renovation can do wonders for the appearance and usefulness of your backyard. For example, many of the pools that are being built today have dark finishes, which really give the pools a beautifully rich lagoon look. This same look is desired by many existing pool owners, and therefore one of the most common types of renovations is to resurface the interior surface of the pool to a dark finish.

Finding a dependable, experienced contractor is the key to a successful renovation. Ask a fellow pool owner whom they have used or ask your pool professional for recommendations for contractors that have done good work in your area. When obtaining estimates ask the following of the contractor:

What is your experience with this type of renovation project?
Do you have any completed renovation projects that I can see?
Can you get me a list of referrals?
How long is the warranty?
What is and is not covered under the warranty?
Can you provide me with a copy of your liability insurance?
Who will be supervising the job?
How long will the project take?
Who is responsible for cleaning up after the project is complete?
What if my landscaping or sprinkler system is damaged?
In addition, be sure to get specifics about the materials that will be used.
