The Best Time to Remodel a Pool

If a pool begins to leak, goes out of style, or becomes too small for a family, the homeowners may consider remodeling it. Apart from coming up with a new, trendy pool design, it’s important to find a suitable time to perform such a large-scale project.

Generally speaking, a pool can be remodeled in any season, provided that the weather is favorable. Some seasons, though, are a better choice than others. Today, we’ll explain the best time to remodel a pool.

Wait until the rainy season ends

Rain and wind can significantly disrupt pool remodeling work. Pool construction is a labor-intensive process that, in most cases, can’t be performed in one day. Some processes, such as laying concrete, can only be done on clear days. If the pool is located outdoors and it rains, workers may have to take pauses to wait until the shower ends. Sometimes, it’s even necessary to postpone work for days or weeks, leading to additional labor costs.

Freezing temperatures are a no-no

Winter is a great time to remodel a pool so long as the weather is moderate. Freezing temperatures, however, may affect the plaster setting and lead to issues requiring expensive repairs later down the line.

Leave the spring for landscaping work

Spring is a time for landscaping work. Whether or not the work is related to the pool area, they may still disrupt pool remodeling plans. And subsequently, the homeowner may not be able to bring their pool landscaping ideas to life if the pool isn’t ready before spring season arrives.

Summer is for enjoying the pool

Weather-wise, summer is the perfect time for pool remodeling, as rain and wind are rare. However, why spend the valuable summertime on repairs when you can enjoy swimming in the remodeled pool itself? Plus, many homeowners hire pool repair professionals for annual check-ups and minor repairs at the start of the summer season, so finding a team available for a large-scale project may not be that easy.

The best time

The best time to remodel a pool is fall or winter, as this will allow the homeowners to enjoy their brand-new pool throughout the summer. Spring is also an option if the homeowners don’t plan to undertake any major landscaping projects.

Thankfully, in Arizona, the weather in winter rarely falls below 40 degrees Fahrenheit. March and December tend to be the rainiest months in the state, so pool remodeling shouldn’t be performed during this time. The least rain typically falls in February, April, September, October, and November.

Each case is unique, and homeowners should consider their lifestyle and plans to choose a suitable pool remodeling time. Pool installation and repair professionals can also advise on the best time after evaluating the pool construction project.
