Does your Austin home already have a pool in the backyard, but you’re looking to revamp it? If so, you may be wondering what’s involved in the renovation process and how long it will take for the project to reach completion. 

It’s a great question: after all, you want to have less time with the mess and a lot more time with the fun that a pool brings to you and your family.

The following is a rough timeline of how your pool renovation will take.

Planning and Designing

You’ll want to sit down with your Austin pool builder to go over everything you need and want in your pool. Based on the size and configuration of your backyard, your pool designer will start the design process, taking all your desires into consideration, as long as your yard can accommodate what you’re looking for. 

This phase can take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks to complete, depending on the complexities of the project.

Demolition

Like any major interior renovation project, your contractor will need to tear down your existing pool or the elements that are being replaced. Whether you’re simply changing the interior material in your pool or are replacing the decking, some level of demolition must take place. The length of time this will take depends on the size of the pool and the extent of the changes.

You can expect the demolition phase to take anywhere from 1 to 2 weeks. 

Renovations

Once the design is complete and the necessary tear-down has taken place, now the exciting phase can start. This is the part where your design comes to life. If the renovation is relatively simple, this phase shouldn’t take too long, but for more intricate and comprehensive work, a little more time might be required.

The renovation phase will take anywhere from 1 to 3 weeks to complete.

When it’s time to have your pool renovated, be sure to enlist the services of your local Austin pool builders.
