The Most Common Items Address During Pool Renovation

Premier Fiberglass can restore your existing swimming pool or spa to the center of your lifestyle as it once was. 

Tile and Coping: This is the portion of the pool along the edge and where the waterline meets the wall. Tile and coping is generally replaced every 8-10 years due either to maintenance requirements or aesthetic purposes. The days of “pool blue” water line tile and brick coping are gone. Pool owners are now looking for a more dynamic look with mosaic and glass tile waterlines with natural stone coping. Generally pool owners complete the tile and coping at the same time as the pool resurfacing. This minimizes redundant costs associated with both items.

Deck and Patio: After time your deck or patio will start to show the signs of age. Due to freeze / thaw conditions your deck can start to heave, crack, discolor and spall. Or maybe you just have additional space needs. The easiest and least expensive way is to have an overlay system applied to the existing concrete. This could involve an acid stain, Kool Deck, acrylic deck stain, etc. These topical coatings can refresh the look of you pool but will not fix structural issues or cracks. Realistically, it doesn’t cost that much to have your existing deck removed and a new one installed. Once the deck is removed you can choose any material you want. Plain Concrete, Colored Concrete, Stamped Concrete, Pavers and Natural Stone are a few of the options. 

Equipment Upgrades: If your equipment is more than 5 years old than most of the components are outdated and energy hogs. I recommend replacing your current pump with an energy efficient pump. The pump type you need is determined by the size of your pool and other factors.  Contact one of our professional consultants for more information.  Heaters are another energy hog that have had large efficiency upgrades recently. 

Outdoor Kitchens & Fireplaces: These are the two items that we are installing with almost almost every renovation we complete. Complete outdoor living is the goal of most of our clients. By installing an outdoor kitchen and fireplace you have extended your outdoor living season by at least four months. There’s nothing better than cooking out and then sitting around a fire in your backyard with friends when the temperature starts to fall.

Landscaping: Most new pool owners spend their entire budget on the pool and hardscaping but generally neglect the landscaping portion of the project. Get a professional landscape plan and stick to it. I recommend spending a little more up front and get larger plants so you won’t have to spend 5 years nurturing your landscape to get the look you were hoping for, but if your budget doesn’t allow for instant gradification, spend your money wisely on more mature screening plants and fill in with one gallon srubs and flowers.  Our consultants can guide you in your planning.
