Swimming Pool Renovation & Remodel Guide

Some changes – like swapping out an old vinyl liner for a new one, upgrading your coping, or adding a tanning ledge – are relatively simple and less expensive cosmetic modifications. That said, even simple cosmetic projects still require a good degree of planning and professional assistance. However, there are several online tools you can use, including our Vinyl Liner Visualizer, to help you more clearly see what your pool remodel will look like before you commit to them.

You can consider adding water features like bubblers and pool lights! Be aware that these seem to be simple additions, but in some cases, can be more invasive than you’d initially think. These renovations are best done alongside larger projects, like replacing a vinyl liner or a pool shell, as it may require drainage and digging beneath the surface to install those desired features.

If you’re look to replace an old concrete pool with a new fiberglass shell or add a hot tub or spillover spa, it can a be more dramatic and intensive project. Various factors such as the size of your backyard, the size of the pool itself, location, and time of year can play a role in the ease or complexity of a pool remodeling project.

Whether you’re looking for a simple vinyl pool renovation or a full fiberglass pool remodel, get in touch with an independent builder who can help you realize your vision.

Restoring a swimming pool to its former glory can be as simple as swapping out an old vinyl liner for a new pattern or color. Simple tweaks can go a long way to giving your pool a fresh new look without breaking the bank.

Elevate your pool with premium coping and tiling designed to harmonize form and function. Adding these bespoke finishes will not only define the architectural edge of your pool but help set the tone for the entire environment. Customizable and impeccably crafted, they are an easy way to modernize your pool.

If you have an older concrete pool, restoring a swimming pool to its former glory with a more modern twist is also doable! Homeowners with concrete or gunite pools have taken to removing the old concrete and replacing it with a brand new fiberglass shell. Not only does fiberglass offer durability and longevity, but it’s easier to clean and maintain – not to mention, offers a wealth of color choices to make your pool a truly striking centerpiece of your backyard oasis.

If you add an automatic safety cover to your pool as part of the remodel you’ll immediately see a benefit in utility costs and maintenance requirements. An automatic safety cover can increase your water temperature by 8-10 degrees and when closed can seal your pool when it’s not in use preventing evaporation which contributes to heat loss. You will also see a reduction in chemical use to keep the pool clean and balanced. Sealing the pool with an automatic safety cover also keeps dirt, debris, and bugs out which will save you time and money on pool maintenance and give you more time to enjoy your swimming pool.
