With proper care and maintenance, a pool will last for years after installation. But even under the best conditions, there will come a time when your pool will start to show its age. If it’s beginning to look like your backyard oasis has seen its better days, it could be time for an upgrade. 

The following are the top 6 reasons your pool may benefit from a remodel. 

• Outdated Design

Design trends come and go. It’s a fact of life homeowners know all too well. A pool that looked sleek and modern ten years ago, may appear a little shabby by today’s design standards. 

If the pattern or color of your pool surface seems outdated, resurfacing could be just the thing to breathe life back into your pool’s design. 

In addition to improving your pool’s appearance, resurfacing every 5 to 20 years helps prevent larger problems, like leaks, cracks, and unsightly wear. It also presents a great opportunity to make larger structural changes to your pool, such as deepening or altering its shape.

• Cracks or Leaks are Getting Worse

Maybe you’ve noticed a crack or two developing along the sides or bottom of your pool over the years. While these cracks may not seem like a big deal at first, they could worsen over time, leading to larger issues like leaks or major faults in your pool’s structure. These issues can be costly and time-consuming to repair. 

To avoid an expensive restructuring project, remodeling could be necessary to take care of any small leaks or cracks as soon as possible. 

• You Want to Add New Features

An exciting new feature can turn your pool into a major focal point in the layout of your outdoor space. Common pool features include: 

• Waterfalls
• Streams
• Fountains
• Pool Lighting
• Jets
• Sculptures

While a dramatic visual feature like a waterfall or a fountain can take your pool’s appearance to the next level, even a small upgrade like underwater lighting will create a dynamic contrast that draws the eye and sets your outdoor space apart.

• A Change in the Family Dynamic

Does it seem like your pool has steadily shrunk as your family has grown over the years? If so, a remodel could be just the thing to create a more inviting space to hang out with your family. 

Remodel your pool to make it larger and give the kids room to swim and splash around to their heart’s content. Or create a deep end that older kids and grownups can enjoy.

• Add Value to Your Home

A pool adds value to your home. However, an outdated or poorly maintained pool will have the opposite effect. If you’re considering selling your home or maintaining its value, a pool remodel may be necessary to keep your house competitive in the market.

• Increase Energy Efficiency

As with all technology, pool tech evolves, and energy efficiency increases with each new generation. Depending on their age, your original pool pump or heating system could be costing you a lot of money. 

If you’re paying more than you’d like monthly to maintain your pool, upgrading to an energy-efficient variable-speed pump or a natural gas heating system could help you save on your monthly bills. Modernizing your pool system also improves the system’s overall performance.
