Planning to renovate your pool? Whether you’re dreaming of a modern makeover or tackling cracked plaster and outdated tile, a successful renovation starts with knowing what not to do.
As Fort Worth’s trusted pool experts, we’ve seen it all from DIY disasters to skipped steps that cost thousands later. Here are the top 5 pool renovation mistakes to avoid and how Plaster People LLC can help you do it right the first time.
1. Skipping a Full Inspection Before Renovating
A great-looking surface means nothing if the foundation is failing. Always start with a full inspection of your pool structure, plumbing, and equipment.We include a free, in person inspection with every quote so you can plan confidently.
2. Choosing the Cheapest Contractor
Going with the lowest bid might sound smart, but it often means cutting corners with subpar materials, no warranty, or poor workmanship. At Plaster People LLC, we’re affordable but never cheap. We use high-quality materials and back it with a lifetime manufacturer warranty.
3. Using the Wrong Surface for Your Pool Type
Not every surface works for every pool. Plaster, quartz, and pebble all behave differently in high traffic or shaded pools.We guide you through the pros and cons so you choose the best surface for your home and budget.
4. Ignoring Drainage and Water Loss Issues
Resurfacing a leaking pool without fixing the problem first is a recipe for repeat repairs. We include leak detection in all major resurfacing jobs so nothing gets covered up or overlooked.
5. Forgetting the Finishing Touches
Coping, tile, lighting, and spray decks are often afterthoughts but they complete the look. We offer bundled upgrades to enhance your renovation and increase your pool’s value without the hassle of hiring extra trades.
