"Very happy with PJs Pools. Needed the heater fixed on our pool. They came out and had to order a part. Ordered the parts needed and had it fixed in a couple of days at a very reasonable cost. Heater is working great."

"There was a terrible storm overnight and my pool and spa looked horrific my pool was green and had a bunch of leaves and branches in it, I was hosting a big party for an engagement celebration the next day, so I was very stressed out, I had called other pool companies and received no response, when I reached out to Marco, he responded right away, was very empathetic to the urgency of my situation and he was able to come first thing in the morning and he made my pool look amazing! He’s a very honest and extremely professional person, I will only ever trust him to work on my pool from now on! He’s the best person you can ever hire to work on any and all of your pool needs! "

"We couldn't be happier with the work Elevation Pool and Hardscape did on our in-ground pool repair! From the very first phone call, their team was professional, responsive, and genuinely knowledgeable. They quickly diagnosed the issues we had been dealing with for months — including a cracked shell, worn plaster, and some failing coping stones — and walked us through every step of the repair process in a way that was easy to understand. The crew showed up on time, kept the work area clean, and completed the job within the timeline they promised. The craftsmanship is outstanding — the plaster finish is smooth and flawless, and the repaired hardscape blends seamlessly with the existing surroundings. It's hard to believe it was ever damaged at all."

"Marc dilligently completed all the tasks I had on my list. He communicated well, was sure to clean up in every area and was able to quickly adjust some shelves he reinforced for me to change their angle. Everything looks great!"

FAQs for swimming pool remodeling projects in Lake Forest, IL

You can modernize your pool by adding features like underwater LED lighting, mosaic tiles, or a beach entry for easy access. Incorporating amenities like fire pits, waterfalls, or installing energy-efficient equipment can also give your pool a contemporary upgrade.

To make your pool more energy-efficient, consider resurfacing it with a lighter color to reduce heating needs and evaporation. Installing a variable-speed pump can significantly lower energy consumption. Switching to low-energy LED lights not only saves power but also enhances ambiance. Additionally, updating old plumbing pipes can improve efficiency and reduce water loss.

A pool remodel typically takes between four and eight weeks to complete. The exact duration depends on factors such as the size of your pool, the complexity of the renovations, and the availability of materials and contractors. Planning ahead and coordinating with a professional pool remodeler can help ensure your project stays on schedule.

Remodeling your pool can be a worthwhile investment, especially if you plan to sell your home. A pool remodel can increase your property's value and enhance its appeal to potential buyers. Upgrades like modern finishes, energy-efficient systems, and added features like lighting or fountains can transform an outdated pool into a backyard oasis.

Resurfacing a pool involves applying a new finish to the existing surface to address cosmetic issues and minor structural concerns. Replastering is a more extensive process that replaces a deeper layer of the pool's structural base, impacting both stability and appearance. After replastering, you can choose from various finishes to enhance the design and longevity of your pool.
