Swimming Pool Renovation Information

Considerations

• Pool owners have a wide range of options for renovations. While some may make basic repairs to the existing structure to gain additional years of enjoyment, others can decide to undertake more extensive renovation work and enhancements to their pool. This may include modifying the layout and adding completely new features.

Types

• Many people tired of a pool's skin and resurface with pavers, natural stone, and exposed aggregate or other custom resurfacing finishes. Structural renovations may include additions, such as custom steps, built-in seating, spas, or waterfalls. Detailed renovation may include updating the pool's deck and the walkways and other barefoot traffic areas.

Function

• Plan each phase of the project. It helps to collect information on various ideas and the planned modifications. Start with the basics and work on up to improvements. Decide whether the job is a do-it-yourself undertaking, a project best left to professionals, or a combination of a pool contractor and sweat equity. Work out a budget and determine how to fund the renovation. Develop a time frame for the project's completion.
