Your swimming pool should be something you love. It should be a place where you relax, enjoy yourself, and make memories. Unfortunately, an outdated or worn-out pool makes that difficult. If your current pool doesn’t match your style, or it is no longer practical for your family’s needs, you’re not getting the most out of it and you’re not enjoying it.
A pool remodel is the perfect solution to refresh your space, improve functionality, and create a backyard you’ll love spending time in.
Understanding the key steps to planning a successful remodel will help you strike the right balance between style, functionality, and budget. Whether you’re dreaming of a modern upgrade or a more family-friendly design, we’ll help you take the first steps toward making it a reality.
Assess Your Current Pool
Start by taking a close look at your pool. Are there cracks in the plaster, outdated features, or equipment that’s not energy-efficient? Think about usability, too—does the size, shape, or depth still fit your family’s lifestyle? Finally, consider the aesthetics. Does the pool’s design enhance your backyard and complement your home? Identifying these key areas will help you pinpoint what changes you want to make.
Define Your Goals
Think about what you want your remodeled pool to offer. Are you looking for more functionality, like a tanning ledge, swim-up bar, or a shallow zone for kids? Maybe it’s time to update the style with fresh tile, new plaster, or a stunning water feature. Don’t forget energy efficiency—LED lighting and energy-efficient pumps can save you money and reduce your environmental impact. Defining your goals will guide the design process.
Set a Budget
Setting a clear budget is key to a smooth pool remodel. Start by prioritizing essential updates, like fixing structural issues or upgrading equipment, before considering luxury features like water fountains or custom lighting. Don’t forget to plan for hidden costs—permits, unexpected repairs, or changes to your landscaping can add up. We can help you with the budgeting process. Contact us today for a free quote.
Choose Materials and Features
When choosing materials and features, think about durability and style. For surfaces, plaster offers a clean, classic look, while pebble finishes add texture and longevity. Tile provides endless design possibilities for a more customized feel. Add water features like fountains or bubblers to create a relaxing atmosphere. For nighttime use, LED or color-changing lights can make your pool both functional and visually stunning.

Prepare for the Remodel
Getting ready for your pool remodel helps the process go smoothly. Start by clearing the area of any furniture, plants, or decorations that might get in the way. This ensures your contractors have easy access to the pool. It’s also a good idea to give your neighbors a heads-up about the project timeline and any potential noise.
