Pool Renovations: 3 Trends That Will Increase Your Home Value

Is your pool looking dated? Explore the top renovation trends—from pebble finishes to smart automation—that offer the highest return on investment.

Give Your Backyard a Facelift

If your pool was built in the 90s or early 2000s, it’s likely showing its age. A modern renovation doesn’t just make the pool prettier; it significantly boosts your property’s “curb appeal” and resale value.

The Top 3 ROI Upgrades

High-End Resurfacing: Swap old, stained white plaster for a pebble or glass bead finish. These finishes last 15–20 years (compared to 5–7 for plaster) and give the water a deep, resort-like glow.

Smart Automation: Modern buyers want to control their spa, lights, and temperature from their smartphones. Installing a smart hub is a relatively low-cost upgrade with a high “wow” factor.

Water Features & Tanning Ledges: Adding a “Baja Shelf” or a sheer descent waterfall transforms a standard pool into a luxury outdoor living space. These are currently the most requested features in real estate listings

Start Planning Now

Renovations are best done in the off-season. By starting your project in the fall or winter, you ensure your “new” pool is ready for the first heatwave of summer.
