All this incredible winter weather in the Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex may make spring swimming seem impossibly far away. Turn this swimming slump into an opportunity, and make sure your pool is in tip-top shape for whenever Mother Nature blows the whistle for spring and summer swimming again.

Pool Resurfacing

The best way to do this, of course, is a winter pool resurfacing.

Every swimming pool will need a bit of a facelift eventually — even high-quality, well-constructed pools like Venture’s own. Any number of elements can lead to cracks and wear spots in the pool’s plaster and tile, including pool settling, earth movement, tree roots and water chemicals (not to mention general wear and tear). Resurfacing and re-tiling your pool protects your investment and boosts its long-term value.

So let’s look at some three types of swimming pool resurfacing options:

• Traditional Re-Plastered Pool Surfaces

This is the most common type, especially if you have an older pool. Most plaster refinishes are white, but can come in a wide rainbow of colors. Resurfacing your pool with a traditional plaster coating ensures the highest level of consistency with your pool’s current or originally intended look.

• Advanced Pebble and Quartz Pool Refinishing Coatings

If you take typical plaster and mix in a quartz aggregate, you get an advanced quartz refinishing coating. This can do two things to your pool: Quartz can add a hardness that other materials can lack, protecting your pool for up to 15 years. Quartz finishes also come in a wider variety of colors than traditional plasters. Pebbles can also added to mixes, providing an extra element of stain resistance and durability to the plaster.

• Specialty Polished Marble Pool Finishes

Specialty polished marble finishes combine high-quality marble aggregates with colored quartz and cement to create a hard, smooth, attractive blend for your pool. Marble finishes can create some of the most naturally beautiful finishes in the industry.

Our Dallas-Ft. Worth Metroplex-area pool resurfacing experts can help you decide what you need.

You’ve invested thousands, raising your property values, drawing your family closer and creating perfect summers — only to be defeated each year by an inevitable, inexorable winter.

The cooler months in Dallas and Ft. Worth can be the most invigorating time of the year, and you aren’t realizing the full benefit of your investment if you’re stuck inside.

Here are two steps toward extending your swimming season and making your backyard a winter haven:

Build a Spa

Imagine soaking in a hot tub on a snowy December evening with a loved one and a cup of mocha in your hand. Our spas are simply winter-proof, and allow you to enjoy and explore the rejuvenating cooler weather.

We build fully-automated spas in Dallas Ft. Worth that can be controlled from a module inside your house, so you don’t have to brave the elements for more than a few seconds.

Install a Pool Heater

Soaking is great—but what if you want to stretch your legs?

Our pool heaters and pool heat pumps can make your entire pool accessible and enjoyable during the winter months. This means you can continue your winter pool workouts, throw holiday pool parties and get your kids away from the TV.

At Venture Custom Pools, we only use environmentally conscious products from Hayward Pool Products that save energy and money. The heaters we provide are both effective and energy efficient, lowering costs and reducing your carbon footprint.

We know the feeling—the sun ‘n fun days of summer sadly slipping away toward cooler weather. Pool season in the Dallas Fort Worth area is almost over. Fortunately, seasons bring renewal, and one pool’s cold front is another’s opportunity.

Here are three ways you can take advantage of the swimming off-season to renew and renovate your swimming pool in time for next summer.

1. Pool Remodeling

Nothing can spruce up an aging, dated pool like a new, customized spa or waterfall. Or perhaps a slide, fountains, deck jets, spray heads, sheer descents, upgraded decking or a dazzling new colorful lighting scheme. A pool simply defines your backyard, and these kinds of enhancements add both fun and value to your property (and build anticipation toward the upcoming summer!). All of our remodel water features are built entirely from both eco-friendly and cost-effective materials. Fall is the perfect season for pool remodeling.

2. Pool Resurfacing

All pools—even the best constructed—wear down over time. Tree roots, pool settling, earth moving, water chemicals and general wear and tear can all produce cracks and wear spots in your pool’s plaster and tile. Resurfacing and re-tiling your pool protects your investment and boosts its long-term value (and is best done during the cooler months when you won’t be tempted to go for a swim before your pool is ready).

3. Pool Equipment

The cooler months are also optimal times to consider either replacing or upgrading you pool equipment. Keeping your pool humming with the latest, modern equipment will usually lower pool maintenance costs, actually saving you money in the long run. Our Dallas custom pool builders install only equipment that saves energy and water, runs quietly and reduces overall operation costs.
