Tired of your old pool? Make it beautiful again!

If your swimming pool is more than 15 years old, or is starting to look a little "dated" to you, then you might be interested in a pool renovation. This can be a simple face-lift, or it can be a whole lot more. No matter how old your pool is, it can be renovated to look like a stunning masterpiece that is better than new.

In the last 10 years, the industry has made tremendous strides in minimizing the amount of maintenance required for a swimming pool. So while you're changing the look of your pool, you have a lot of other options too:

• Energy efficient heat pumps and solar heaters
• Energy efficient pumps, filters and plumbing
• Ozonators (to reduce the use of chlorine)
• Mineral Systems (to stabilize the water)
• Salt-water-based chlorine generators
• Computerized automation systems
• Built-in automatic pool covers
• Robotic cleaners

On the beautification side, some of your new options include:

• Long life aggregate-based interior finishes, such as Pebble Tec
• Waterfalls, water curtains, rain walls, weeping walls
• Water arches, fountains, bubblers, aerators, scuppers
• Natural stone or custom acrylic decking
• Built-in tables, underwater seating
• Tanning ledges, beach entries
• Mosaics and all-tile finishes
• LED lighting
• Raised gardens, grottos
• Fire woks, fire pits

You can even add a built-in spa, a vanishing edge or a perimeter overflow feature.

Here's the basic step-by-step process of renovating your pool:

• Capture the dream - first we must determine what you want your new backyard to look like.
• Design it - next we will show you computer-generated before and after photos of your backyard
• Engineer it - step-by-step plans will be established according to the complexity of your design.
• Build it - some or most of the following steps will take place, depending on your project:
  • Demolition of unwanted materials (typically tile, plaster finishes and/or decking)
  • "Cut-in" any new features or options (water features, In-floor cleaning, etc.)
  • Install new plumbing and electrical, as needed
  • Install new features and finishes
  • Fill it with water and start swimming!

Pool Interior Re-Plaster / Refinishing

If the interior finish of the pool is looking worn, it's probably because you have a plaster or Marcite finish. In the last few years by the new long-lasting and beautifully colored aggregate finishes. These new finishes last 2 to 10 times longer than the old Marcite finishes.

And with different colored and sized pebbles or aggregates, we can create any color and texture you want.. Some people like the feel of the regular pebble finish. Others like the extra smoothness of polished marble or quartz aggregate finishes. Either way, you'll get a new pool interior that is prettier and much longer lasting than ever before.

Tile repair / replacement

Tile lifting and cracks in tile or cement are commonly just "patched or replaced" by inexperienced pool contractors. But this is a mistake. A crack is a sign of a construction defect such as faulty material, faulty application, or the absence of proper control joints. Whatever it is, it must be diagnosed and corrected at the source. Otherwise, the problems will continue to haunt you for years to come.

Deck repair / replacement

Dollar for dollar, the installation of a paver deck will make a more dramatic impact than any other change or upgrade you can think of. And if cracked cement has been a problem, our pavers will eliminate that problem forever.

For discriminating commercial facilities - Design your own Custom Pavers
If your deck renovation is anywhere close to 10,000 square feet, you may want to consider creating your own custom pavers. We can provide custom colors and textures to match your facility. Or add a special material such as crushed conch shells or colored glass, to create a paver that is totally unique to you. Your options are endless.

Here are just a few samples of the many custom paver options available on request:

Energy-Saving Upgrades

Money-Saving, Energy-Saving Upgrades
The industry has been working hard to develop more cost-efficient pumps, filters, lights, heaters and control systems. Altogether, today's swimming pools use about 60% less energy than they did 20 years ago.

Heat Pump Conversions
Our new heat pumps use 68% less energy than traditional gas heaters. They can extend the swimming season for just pennies a day. Some models can also cool the water on extra-hot days.

If you're currently using gas-powered heaters, you'll most likely save enough money in utilities to pay for an energy-efficient heat pump in 18 months or less. Call us to analyze your current gas heater configuration. We can calculate the Return On Investment for your unique situation.

Variable speed pumps
These new variable speed pumps use 64% less electricity than single speed pumps. They run longer at low cost, keeping pool water cleaner for less money.

New Automation Systems
With the new automation systems, today's pools practically take care of themselves! Perhaps the single greatest breakthrough for commercial pool operations is the new pH / ORP control system. Much more than a simple chlorinator, this system monitors the Oxidation Reduction Potential (ORP) of the water and the pH. It then automatically adjusts the settings on the chlorinator and the acid-control system to keep your chemicals in balance. What was once a daily chore can now be checked once a month!
