A Swimming Pool Rebuild: Better for Your Family, Your Home, & Your Wallet

Does it seem like your pool isn’t quite as great as it once was? When you see other people’s pools do they look much nicer? A swimming pool can be so many things to a home: a paradise, a place to gather, somewhere to relax, to exercise, to entertain, and more. Yet, like so many other parts of a property, over time, it can decline, losing some of its initial magic. Here at SBL Pools, we can provide swimming pool builders Woodland Hills residents trust. With this, your pool will be better than it ever was in a variety of ways.

More Fun for More Years
Many of the pools that we rebuilt were initially installed some time ago. As such, they don’t have many of the new accouterments that have helped to make modern pools so popular. LED lights, waterline tiles, resurfacing, and more – we can make your pool into exactly what you want it to be. Often, when a customer reaches out to us about a potential rebuild, we’ll sit down with them and show them all of the options available. Then, we work with them to find the one that best fits their home, their budget, and their aesthetic.

Better for Your Property
Speaking of “budget,” many want their swimming pools rebuilt and renovated when it’s time to sell their home. As far as home improvement jobs that can increase a property’s resale value, there are few that provide more return on investment than a swimming pool rebuild. A great, renovated swimming pool can make an incredible impression on potential buyers, possibly being that which sways them to make a purchase. Consequently, the opposite can be true as well.

Better for Your Wallet and the Environment
Many of our swimming pool rebuild clients, by virtue of having had their pools installed many years ago, are amazed by all of the technological advancements in swimming pool technology. The pool pumps, filters, and the like are well beyond where they were just a few short years ago. As such, they aren’t just better for your pool, they’re much more energy efficient than previous models were, too. Because of that, these upgrades can save you plenty of money in energy bills. So, in the not-so-long run, upgrading your pumps, filters, and more can actually save you money.

More Than Just Swimming Pool Rebuild Experts
With a rebuilt swimming pool, you and your family will have a better pool experience that you can enjoy year in and year out. That said, swimming pools are just one of the ways that we can improve the outdoors at your property. We can design you outdoor lighting which provides illumination, style, and safety during the night or in the day. An outdoor kitchen could be just the thing to open your property up in a whole new way. There’s nothing like a night spent cozied up with someone you care about over a fire pit.

What Pool Tile from Swimming Pool Builders in Encino Can Do

Do you feel like your pool used to look better than it did? Does it seem as if your pool is more slippery than it used to be? Here at SBL Pools, we have many ways of improving pools. One of the most popular is through installing tiles. Tiles can help your pool in many ways, which, in turn, will help your family (as well as your property’s resale value). So many times, someone has come to us for a rebuild and really, all they needed was to have tiles installed. Drawing upon our years of experience, we can provide pro pool tile installation from our swimming pool builders in Encino.

Tiles for Top Tier Looks
A pool is, by itself, a paradise in a backyard. Little makes a property more attractive than a pool. Tiles, in turn, can make any pool that much more attractive. At SBL Pools, we’ve installed many kinds of pool tile, so we can find a pool tile solution that’s right for you. With so many colors and styles to choose from, we can help you to pick the tile that perfectly fits your pool as well as your home. Then, we can install it properly, so that you can enjoy your tiles for a long time to come.

Low Maintenance and High Value
Beyond how gorgeous tiles can be, they’re also popular because they require precious little maintenance. These tiles are made tough so that they can withstand years of the elements. That said, they’re also very easy to clean, too. Other surfaces may take longer to clean and may be more challenging to maintain, but maintaining tile is easy to fit into any schedule. Beyond that, they also can provide quite an ROI when it comes to your property’s value, too.

Fit Your Budget, Fit Your Aesthetic
There’s no “one option” when it comes to pool tile. When we show you all of the possible options, we make sure to find ones that can fit your budget, too. We don’t believe that our customers should ever have to settle. You shouldn’t have to choose between “the best tile” and “the best prices.” Instead, we offer the best of both worlds – great tile at an affordable price. When we display our options, we’ll also provide our expert opinion. That way, you can find the tile that’s exactly right for your property.

Improve Your Pool Experience with our Swimming Pool Builders in Encino
The right pool tile can make your pool as well as your outdoors that much better. However, there’s more that we can do for your outdoors than just to find and install the right tile, too. An outdoor kitchen can make for incredible breakfasts that start the day right, lunches that provide an oasis in the middle of a work day, and dinners that are great for family as well as friends. Outdoor lighting systems not only make your property safer, but they also make it the place to be when the sun goes down. To find all of the ways we can help, click on our site or give us a call.

Adding a Spa: a Great Swimming Pool Remodeling San Fernando Valley Project

Have you been considering adding a spa but don’t know if it’s right for you? The truth is that a spa can improve your life in a variety of ways. When most of us think of a spa or hot tub, they think about relaxation. Sitting in there, kicking back for a few minutes, and then coming out of there recharged. Sure, but that’s just scratching the surface, so to speak, of what you can do with a hot tub. Here at SBL Pools, as part of our swimming pool remodeling San Fernando Valley services, we’ve installed plenty of hot tubs all throughout the Southern California area. There are many reasons why spas are more popular than ever.

Good for Your Body
First things first: sitting in a hot tub just feels good. So many talk about just lowering themselves into the hot tub and letting the day’s worries and cares soak away. When you have your own spa, you don’t have to wait in line to do it at the gym (surrounded by how many people you’ve never met before) but instead on your own property. Additionally, many report that soaking in a hot tub can help with aches and pains providing gentle relief.

Good for Your Mind
If you’re like so many, you deal with a lot of stress in your day-to-day life. Even the moments when we should be relaxing are often taken up by checking our phones, watching a screen, or something similar. In a hot tub, though, you can genuinely get away from all that. Moreover, you can do it in a warm, inviting environment. Sitting in a hot tub by yourself is great, of course, but when you have your own hot tub, you may find that it’s great for entertaining, too.

Good When You Leave the Spa, Too
The benefits of relaxing in a hot tub aren’t exclusive to the time that you’re in the hot tub. For example, studies have shown that soaking in a hot tub an hour or so before you go to sleep can help you to drift off to sleep that much easier, too. Now, we can’t speak to the veracity of someone else’s reports. But, common sense dictates that if you soak away all of your worries, everything that made you feel stressed throughout the day, then it’s entirely likely that it will be easier for you to get a sound, peaceful sleep.

Many Kinds of Swimming Remodeling San Fernando Valley Services
Here at SBL Pools, we have many ways of just making properties better. We can install or renovate a hot tub, just as we can for a pool. Speaking of pools, we can provide pool coping and tile installation services there, too. For improvements that aren’t aquatic in nature, we can design and install outdoor lighting plans as well as those for an outdoor kitchen, too. To see all of the ways that we can help you and your property, message us through our site or give us a call.

The Swimming Concrete Decking San Fernando Valley Deserves

Does it feel like your pool’s decking has lost some of its luster? Do you want your pool’s decking to stand out but also be able to “stand up” to the elements, too? When it comes to decking options, we’ve found that concrete decking is absolutely one of the most popular. Here at SBL Pools, we’re proud to install the caliber of swimming concrete decking San Fernando Valley and the surrounding area deserves. When it comes to decking for your pools, we can walk you through your different options, but concrete is the one our customers most often choose.

Concrete Decking: Strong and Safe
One of the biggest benefits of decking made of concrete is that, well, it’s made of concrete. That means it’s made to last. Concrete is incredibly durable, withstanding the heat, the rain, and anything else for a long time to come. Indeed, decking made of concrete requires very little maintenance, too. That said, what also makes concrete so popular isn’t just that it’s strong, but that it reflects heat, too. No one likes to walk on hot surfaces on their way to the pool. Other materials may absorb heat and light, but concrete reflects it. Thus, you can walk around on decking made of concrete and it will be easier on your feet.  

Easy on the Environment, Easy on the Wallet
Speaking of “easy on,” decking made of concrete is easier on the environment, too. For the most part, concrete is made of limestone. Limestone is not something that we’re running out of, nor is it something that’s hard on the environment. Even better, limestone is abundant, too. So, you don’t have to pay the big bucks as you might for a material that’s harder to find.

Decking Made to Fit Your Property
Concrete has many benefits, but one of the least discussed is its malleability. That can lead to it being customizable to your property, to your aesthetic. Concrete can be textured, it can be designed. Thus, it can have a great visual appeal in addition to its durability and strength. Decking made of concrete is one of those additions and upgrades to a property that can really pay off when it’s time to sell the home, too. So, you can enjoy the benefits of concrete while you’re in your home as well as when you’re ready to move on from it, too.

More Than Swimming Concrete Decking in San Fernando Valley
Decking made of concrete goes beyond just making your pool better as it can make your family’s entire pool experience better, too. In addition to that, we can upgrade your entire outdoor experience on your property, as well. From the installation of fire pits, of outdoor lighting systems, outdoor kitchens, and more, we can make your outdoors into what you want them to be. Whether you’re outside for a quiet night with family, a cozy night with someone you love, or you want to have the best outdoor area in the neighborhood for a party, we can help.

Stronger Protection: Swimming Pool Coping in Woodland Hills and Beyond

Have you been looking for a way to protect your pool’s tiles? Do you feel like sometimes the edges of your pool aren’t quite as safe as they could be? If so, then it may very well be time to look into swimming pool coping in Woodland Hills and the surrounding area. In this context, the word “coping” essentially means “covering the top edges of your pool’s structure.” If you have an inground pool, coping can make your pool not just more attractive, but safer as well.

How Pool Coping Works
To put it simply, coping provides protection. The purpose of this coping is to keep the decking and the pool structure separate. With this coping, the fill water is kept away from the deck. Moreover, the coping itself makes for a smooth edge. Coping is something that you want for your pool, yes, but you also want coping to be in its best shape, too. Why? Because without it, your pool could have uneven edges, possibly even jagged and dangerous ones. Coping can, in a very real way, protect those who would use a pool.

Popular Coping Options
As with so much else related to pools, there are multiple coping options available. One of the most popular options, as of this writing, is concrete coping. Since this coping is concrete, it’s strong, it’s sturdy, and it’s not going to wear down for a long time to come. Plus, it won’t require much (if any) maintenance on your part at all to be able to withstand the test of time. While concrete is popular, that doesn’t mean it’s the only option available. Indeed, we also offer brick coping, stone, and more.

Coping Installations from the Pros
You may have read the previous section and thought: “gee, that sounds great, but how will I know which coping is right for my pool?” We can help. We’re always glad to talk to folks about which coping can best be utilized for their pool. That means we can help you to not just pick out the material, but also the texture, the color, the shape, the size, and more. That way, we’re able to provide a coping solution that fits your pool as well as your aesthetic. Once we’ve worked with you to choose the right coping, our team can get to work installing it.

More Than Swimming Pool Coping in Woodland Hills
Coping is among the popular services that we offer for pool rebuilds, but there are several others as well. Indeed, often, someone will reach out to us for another service and our team will take a look at their pool and realize that coping is the best choice. We can also help with more than just your pool, too. Between the planning, designing, and installation of outdoor kitchens, outdoor lighting solutions and more, we can make your property what you want it to be.
