REAL eSTATE pOOL INSPECTION
If you are thinking of selling your home, you are probably already making renovations, or else you are deciding which renovations to make. The fact that your house had a pool when you bought it was probably an important factor in your decision to buy it; a house with a swimming pool is a real treat and makes the hot Michiana summers much more bearable. Of course, swimming pools require more and more maintenance the older they get. Any buyer who buys your home with the pool in the same shape it was in when you moved in is taking on a major responsibility. It is in your interest to have your pool inspected before you put your home on the market so that you can know which repairs and renovations you should make in order to make your pool attractive to buyers. |

Elkhart Pools can inspect your pool for real estate market purposes, and we can advise you about how to renovate it with stylish, long-lasting, energy-efficient, and environmentally sustainable features. For example, salt water pools require far less chlorine than conventional pools, so if your pool needs a complete renovation, you may want to consider upgrading to a pool with a salt system. LED lights are much more energy efficient and last much longer than the lights that were in use when you bought your pool, so you may wish to consider installing LED lights in your pool, not only because of their energy efficiency, but also because of their impressive, multi-colored displays.
Right before you put your house on the market might also be a good time to resurface your pool or replace the vinyl lining. If your pool has a gunite of marcite (plaster) lining, you may also wish to have your pool acid washed before you install the new lining. If you have a classic plaster lining, you may consider upgrading to a plaster lining with quartz, as these linings last longer, to say nothing of their shimmering look. Even if you do not want to make major upgrades to your pool, it is probably a good idea to buy a bigger filter than the one your pool had when you moved into your house. The filters installed in pools before the 1990s were not big enough to keep the pool water clean.
Elkhart Pools can add all kinds of elegant features to your pool and pool area. We can build wooden pool decks for above ground pools and in-ground pools. We can add walk-in steps to your pool if it is currently accessible only by ladder. For in-ground pools, a variety of luxury features are now much more affordable. You can add a beach entry, hot tub, swim-up bar, or Baja bench to your pool for a vacation in your own back yard, to say nothing of elegant water features like fountains, waterfalls, and water walls. Elkhart Pools can perform all kinds of upgrades to your pool and pool area. We always provide excellent service for an affordable price.
