Top Reasons to Remodel Your Pool

A swimming pool requires constant maintenance and care to look perfect and be safe for your family to use. While pools are sturdy, they won't last forever and will inevitably need to be overhauled or remodeled to reflect the different ways they are used over the years. Using high-quality equipment and non-corrosive chemicals will extend your pool's lifetime but may also cause you to put off thoughts of renovation. There are other reasons to remodel a pool other than it breaking down, such as improving curb appeal or adding more available space or functionality.

Let's talk about a few of the top reasons to consider remodeling a pool.

Damaged pools

One of the most crucial reasons to remodel a pool is if it's damaged or worn out. Cracked or deteriorated liners are a crisis waiting to happen. However, smaller damage, such as loose tiles or a cracked, discolored patio, can also be a reason to perform a complete pool makeover.

If one part of the pool is damaged, chances are the entire pool is worse for wear, and the rest of it will follow. A remodel can be the most effective way to keep costs as low as possible, renewing the key components to withstand weather conditions and harsh chemicals.

Lack of safety

If the number of family members has grown in recent years, note that young children are at the greatest risk of drowning in residential pools. Older swimming pools may not have built-in child safety features to prevent accidents.

Installing a pool fence with a gate is an excellent way to keep your peace of mind when children are near the pool. There's also an option to add sensors to detect motion in the water, and they alert parents if someone falls in the pool.

Old features

When remodeling a pool, keep in mind the more recent trends in the pool industry are aimed at sprucing up the pool with fun new additions. Sun shelves, slides, waterfalls, and fountains can all add some luxury and more ways to enjoy the time spent in the pool. A sun shelf is a shallow ledge and is ideal for tanning in the water or allowing children to play in relative safety.

Changing up the pool's appearance

Pools can look outdated, and what worked in the '90s might not have the same appeal nowadays. Homeowners may decide to remodel a pool because they want to change its appearance.  Changing the tiles, liner, surfacing, and other aesthetic pieces will give you a "new" pool to play in and enjoy the well-deserved downtime.

Also, a modernized pool will significantly enhance a house's appeal and make it easier to sell.

Cost

If the pool requires a lot of work to be usable, a complete remodel might be more cost-effective than partial fixes. Smaller remodels are relatively cheap during the off-season and won't take a long time to complete.
