Signs It May be Time for a Renovation

There comes a time in the life of every pool when it’s time for a makeover. Whether you’ve had a pool for many years, or purchased a home with an existing pool, the reasons for a swimming pool renovation span the gamut: Maybe you’ve noticed cracks and leaks and find yourself in a never-ending cycle of constant (and expensive) repairs. Perhaps the surface of an older concrete or gunite pool feels rough on the soles of your feet when you wade in. Or maybe you just want to give your pool a splashier appearance for purely aesthetic reasons.

Lifestyle changes might also prompt you to renovate your pool. Welcoming new kids to the family – as well as older adults or people with mobility issues – might mean upgrading pool safety features. A pool remodel can help make your pool fun and accessible for everyone to use!
