Surf the internet for swimming pools and find some styles you like. There are many options to choose from. Make sure it flows with your house design and style. What materials and colors do you like? You want to have an idea of what you like before you meet with your potential contractors for a better meeting of the minds. Be prepared to blend your desires with their expertise for the perfect Pool Heaven for you to enjoy!

There are several components of a swimming pool remodel in Orange County, Ca. Do you want to improve your swimming pool function? Do you want to make your swimming pool more shallow for water and heat conservation? Do you want to add a spa or take one out? You should consider all of these things before talking to your potential contractors and you need to know your budget. What can you do with the amount of money you can afford to spend on the job?

You need to be a little flexible with what you want and what will work best when it comes to materials and extras. Over time, pool tile will build up white calcium scaling, so choosing a tile that has some white in it is advantageous. The same goes with boulders in the water line. Swimming pools will weather over time, so think about materials that already look somewhat weathered if possible. 

A swimming pool remodel can involve your whole backyard including the lawn and decking or just your swimming pool. You should search for durable, recommended materials for components such as:

  • Decking (concrete, stained concrete, pavers, stone, etc.)
  • Planter walls (stone, tile, etc.)
  • Pool coping (standard, cantilevered edge, decorative, etc)
  • Pool tile (ceramic tile, stone tile, glass tile, etc.)
  • Pool surface (regular plaster, quartz plaster, pebble, etc.)
  • Waterfalls and raised platforms

Learn your Swimming Pool Remodel Surface Materials and Options

We have a good article about pool surface materials you should read if you need to learn more about available choices. To keep it simple, natural plaster is white and smooth, but will discolor and flaw more quickly over time. Quartz plaster is more durable and has variations of color, but is not as smooth as natural plaster. Pebble finish is the most durable, looks natural, and comes in several variations as well. Natural plaster is the cheapest with quartz in the middle and the pebble finish is the most expensive. Some contractors may use different terms for these materials and some are proprietary blends, but they will know the terms listed here.

Once you have an idea of what you want, find 2 or 3 swimming pool remodel companies in your local area.

Expertise in pool repair and salt systems is a must for newly remodeled pools. Read here about owning a salt water swimming pool to learn about the pros and cons. You need to know how to use and program your new pool equipment for optimal enjoyment, so make sure you get a turorial from your pool service or your pool remodel contractor.

Always replace your old, corroding pool equipment especially pool heaters during a swimming pool remodel. They can bleed metal ions into the pool water which cause staining and flaws on your pool surface. This is especially problematic with regular white plaster where staining can really stand out. Remember, regular white plaster will flaw faster and be more obvious than with the other materials.
