Common Pool Renovation Reasons

Are you thinking about renovating your pool? Crystal Clear Pools in Austin specializes in Inground Pool Renovations, and so we often get asked what renovations are most common. While it also depends on the pool owner’s personal preferences, budget, and needs – here are the most common reasons for pool renovations:

 

Depth Renovation: Often times when a customer wants to change the depth of their existing pool, it’s because they have recently purchased the home and it doesn’t fit in with their individual needs. Perhaps the pool is too shallow, and the owners prefer having a diving board or slide, and need more depth. Conversely, the pool can be too deep and the owner wants to use the pool predominantly for exercise or for younger kids.

 

Change in Size: As with depth renovation, requests for increasing or decreasing the size of a pool is typically the result of a new homeowner having a different vision or needs than the previous owner. However, sometimes the original homeowner changes their mind after using the pool for several years, and decides on a smaller pool in order to make room for a patio or a play area.

 

Aesthetics and Ambiance: Not all renovations are large projects, some simply add to the overall look and feel of the pool. Lighting additions or adjustments are common to not only add elegance to your pool, but also for safe night swimming during warm Austin evenings. Another common aesthetic renovation is to change the decking around the pool or resurface the existing decking.

5 Reasons to Renovate Your Pool in the Winter

As the weather cools down, it’s easy to put your outdoor home improvement projects on hold, however, it may surprise you that the fall and winter months are actually the best time to renovate your in-ground Pool. All contractors have busy seasons, and the summer months are the most busy for swimming pool contractors.

Here are five benefits to renovating your in-ground pool during the less busy months:

 

Scheduling Flexibility

 

With less people requesting a pool renovation, you will be able to schedule your project for a time that is most convenient to you.

 

Less Down-Time

 

When renovating your pool in the summer months, you are giving up valuable and limited swimming time. Opt instead for the month you use the pool the least, and the down-time will seem quite negligible.

 

Yard Accessibility

 

Depending on the magnitude of the renovation, your backyard may be completely off-limits for quite some time. This makes it difficult to trim your lawn and maintain your landscaping, which isn’t as much of a concern in the winter months.

 

Dust Control

 

When renovating a pool, you can expect to have some noise, debris, and dust. It’s important to keep your windows closed to ensure the inside of your home stays dust-free, which is much easier to do in the winter.

 

Water Prices

 

While you can call a water delivery service, most homeowners use their faucet water to refill their pool. The water rates in the summer are much higher than the rates in the winter, which will save you money. Additionally in the cooler months, the water won’t evaporate as quickly, allowing less water to be used.


If you are in the Austin area and have been considering renovating your pool, now is the time. Crystal Clear Pools & Spas can handle every job from a simple resurface to a complete overhaul. Contact us today for more information.

Invest in a Swimming Pool Cover

Not only will a pool cover minimize time spent outside cleaning debris under the sun, swimming pool covers cut down on evaporation and help maintain healthy water levels in your swimming pool. Many swimming pools in Texas have optimal standards pertaining to water levels in order to maintain the integrity of pool walls, tiles and mechanical systems.

If that isn’t enough motivation, Texas drought water restrictions require 25% of any non-public pool to be covered when not in use. Restrictions are also put on the amount of water, and method, you may use to fill your pool during the higher stages of drought. Best to keep what water you have in the pool now lest ye find yourself ankle deep without a hose.

Snap on pool covers may run you around $3,000 or so. Automatics go up from there. If you need help finding the right pool cover, give us a call — we can help you out.
