At New Wave Pool Remodeling, we know that in Southern California, your pool isn’t just a backyard feature—it’s a lifestyle. It’s where families gather, friends celebrate, and sunny days are best enjoyed.
But after years of use, even the best pools start to show signs of wear. And with summer just around the corner, now is the perfect time to ask: Is your pool really ready for the season?
A remodel doesn’t always mean a complete overhaul. Sometimes, it’s a few smart upgrades that can make a major difference in both appearance and performance.
If you’re unsure whether it’s time to remodel, here are the top signs to look for—and how we can help transform your pool into a stunning, summer-ready oasis.
1. Cracking, Peeling, or Chipped Surfaces
One of the most obvious signs that your pool needs attention is visible surface damage. Cracks in the plaster, peeling paint, or chipped tile aren’t just unsightly—they can also lead to more serious issues like leaks or injury.
These surface problems tend to worsen with time and exposure to chemicals and heat.
A remodel allows us to resurface your pool with modern, durable materials like quartz or pebble finishes, improving both safety and aesthetics.
2. Outdated Design or Style
Is your pool still stuck in the early 2000s? Or even the ’90s? Tile patterns, coping materials, and pool shapes go out of style just like home décor. Today’s trends include sleek lines, natural stone finishes, LED lighting, Baja shelves, and modern water features.
At New Wave, we specialize in transforming tired pools into resort-style escapes. Whether you’re going for minimalist chic or tropical lagoon, we can help you design a look that feels fresh and fits your lifestyle.
3. Rough Textures That Hurt Bare Feet
If walking in your pool feels like stepping on sandpaper, it’s time for a new surface. Rough or deteriorating plaster isn’t just unpleasant—it can lead to cuts, snags on swimsuits, and issues with water retention.
As part of a remodel, we offer smooth, long-lasting resurfacing options that restore comfort and make your pool feel brand new.
4. Inefficient or Noisy Equipment
Older pumps, filters, and heaters are not only inefficient—they’re often noisy and expensive to run. If your equipment is more than 10–15 years old, you’re likely spending more on energy bills than necessary.
During a remodel, we can upgrade your system to high-efficiency, low-noise, and eco-friendly equipment. Many of these systems include smart technology that lets you control settings from your phone.
5. Constant Repairs or Maintenance Issues
Are you on a first-name basis with your pool repair tech? If leaks, broken lights, or plumbing problems have become a regular occurrence, it may be more cost-effective to remodel the pool rather than continue patching problems.
Our team at New Wave can diagnose underlying issues and implement lasting solutions as part of a larger renovation—saving you money and stress in the long run.
6. Lack of Modern Features
Modern pools are built for both function and fun. If you’ve always dreamed of adding a spa, waterfall, tanning ledge, or fire bowl, a remodel is your chance. We can incorporate custom features that enhance relaxation and turn your backyard into a personal retreat.
Even simple additions like a swim-up bench or in-pool lighting can dramatically elevate your pool experience—especially for evening entertaining.
7. Safety Concerns
If you have young children, aging family members, or simply want peace of mind, safety should always be a top priority. Non-slip surfaces, compliant drains, proper fencing, and updated electrical systems are all critical to ensuring your pool is a safe space.
A remodel is the perfect opportunity to address these concerns and bring your pool up to modern safety standards.
8. You’re Planning to Sell Your Home
A beautifully remodeled pool is a huge selling point in Southern California, where buyers often prioritize outdoor living. A dated or damaged pool, on the other hand, can actually turn buyers away or lower your asking price.
Investing in a pool remodel now can boost your home’s curb appeal and overall property value—while letting you enjoy the upgrades in the meantime.
