A pool renovation will give new life to your backyard, creating a source of entertainment and exercise just steps from your home. As with any remodeling, a pool renovation requires appropriate planning. Here are a few tips to help you prepare, minimize disruptions, and avoid budgeting issues while the work takes place.

How to Prepare for a Pool Renovation

1. Determine a Budget

pool renovationAny renovation starts with a budget. First, decide on the upgrades you want. This could include a whole new pool, or you might want to target specific issues that need addressing, such as new tiling or plaster.

Once you have a list of work to be done, contact a pool remodeling professional and request a quote. See how the projected price compares to the budget you've allotted, and make any necessary adjustments to items on the to-do list. Try to come in as close as possible to the budgeted amount.

2. Know the Timeline

Once you hire a pool renovator, find out approximately how long the work will take. An exact deadline isn't always possible, but a general idea will help you know what to expect and amend schedules accordingly.

Your yard will be an active worksite, which could mean some noise and increased activity on your property. If you work from home or have small children that are frequently in the yard, you may need to make alternative arrangements to keep the household running smoothly.

3. Learn Proper Maintenance

A pool upgrade will likely come with some new upkeep requirements. To get the most out of your investment, be sure you know how to properly maintain the pool. The renovator will be happy to provide this information and walk you through the necessary steps. Take notes that you can consult later. Also, purchase the recommended pool care products and design a routine maintenance schedule.
