As a pool owner, you might be wondering when the best time is to tackle those much-needed renovations. At Pools 101, we believe winter is the ideal season to give your pool the makeover it deserves. Here’s why:
Off-Peak Season Means Less Disruption
Winter in Perth is a time when pools see less use. The cooler weather naturally reduces the frequency of pool activities, making it the perfect opportunity for renovations. By choosing to renovate during the colder months, you ensure that your pool is ready and looking its best for the summer season, when you’ll want to maximise its use. Additionally, this minimises disruption to your swimming schedule and allows you to enjoy your pool uninterrupted during the peak summer months.
Better Availability of Contractors
During the peak summer months, pool contractors are often booked solid, with projects scheduled back-to-back. Winter, however, is a different story. With less demand for pool use and installations, contractors have more availability and can often complete projects more quickly and efficiently. This means you can schedule your renovation at a time that suits you best and expect quicker turnaround times. Furthermore, contractors may offer off-season discounts, providing you with potential cost savings.
Optimal Weather Conditions for Certain Materials
Contrary to what you might think, Perth’s mild winter temperatures can actually be beneficial for certain renovation materials. For instance, fiberglass and concrete coatings often cure better in cooler conditions, ensuring a more durable and long-lasting finish. High summer temperatures can sometimes cause materials to dry too quickly, leading to cracks or other imperfections. Winter’s steady, cooler temperatures provide the ideal environment for a flawless application, resulting in a pool that not only looks great but also stands the test of time.
Avoid the Summer Rush and Prepare Early
By completing your pool renovations in winter, you’ll avoid the rush of last-minute fixes and can enjoy a hassle-free summer. When summer arrives, your pool will be ready for immediate use, providing endless hours of enjoyment for you and your family. There’s nothing worse than starting a renovation project only to be hit by peak season delays. Early preparation ensures that everything is in place, allowing you to dive straight into your pool without any interruptions or concerns about unfinished work.
