Does your in-ground pool seem to have lost its former glory and signs of wear betray its age? Renovating an in-ground pool is a simple way to bring the star of your backyard back to life. Several elements can be repaired or changed to extend the life of your investment. Here is an overview of the work that can improve the appearance of your swimming pool:
Add steps
The shape and condition your pool steps are in helps make it look clean and new. Options vary wildly, as do styles and materials. Prefabricated steps, which are simply placed on the pool floor and permanently affixed to the wall, provide an economical and quick option for adding steps to a pool that does not have any. This type of steps also adds an element of safety since most models are equipped with a handrail.
If your pool already has built-in steps, either acrylic or concrete, it is still possible to carry out renovations. With the help of an expert team, you will be able to decide on the shape you want to give to your steps, as well as the material that will best suit your pool. Although this will inevitably require extensive work, inserting custom steps to your in-ground pool can alone bring a touch of class and style, in addition to making access easier.
The costs of adding steps to an in-ground pool can range from $1000 to several thousand dollars. In order to guarantee impeccable and long-lasting work, it is always advisable to call on professionals for measurement and installation.
Detecting a water leak
Whether for aesthetic or utilitarian reasons, changing an inground pool liner can, depending on the case, be a preventive measure or a necessity. Over time, exposure to sunlight and certain chemicals can cause fading and cracking. In this case, it is best not to wait too long before replacing your pool liner as this could be a sign of corrosion and lead to damage to the structure of your pool. When choosing a new liner, you will have the choice from a wide range of patterns and colors.
Repair the sidewalk
Cracked concrete never looks good! New techniques now make it possible to provide a “Bullnose” type finish to the concrete sidewalk and to integrate it into the edge of the swimming pool. The final appearance is therefore smooth and modern, in addition to being affordable.
For all your in-ground pool renovation projects, rely on the expertise of your pool specialist to save you a lot of hassle and guarantee an impeccable result. Your pool will thank you!
