5 Reasons to Remodel or Build a Pool in the Fall

The hot Summer heat is fading and fall is fast approaching. You’re hosting your last barbeques of the season and are getting into the swing of the new school year. Soon, thoughts of summer will be out of sight and out of mind. But wait! Even though it’s too cold for a swim, the Fall is actually a great time to install a pool!

Whether you’re on the fence, or have already decided to install a new pool or remodel your outdated pool, here are five reasons why it’s better to install a pool in the fall than in Spring or Summer.

Dry, Solid Ground is Better for Construction

The ground is drier in the Fall, which means that the installation of your pool will be quicker and easier. The large equipment needed to install the pool will do less damage to your backyard if the ground is dry, which will leave less landscaping to do after installation is finished.

Fall is a Great Time to Landscape

Most people like to landscape around their pool to make it look nice and create an enjoyable atmosphere. The Fall is a great time to landscape as many trees and bulbs do best when they are planted in Fall. While your pool is being installed, spend time designing and planting your backyard oasis.

Hire Construction Crews During Their Downtime

In the Fall, builders are less busy and can give their undivided attention to your project. This means the pool will likely be finished sooner as the building team will be larger and working more often. It also means that if you have any questions or concerns you will have them answered right away rather than having to wait and try and get a hold of someone.

Avoid Delays

Again, because more staff are available to work on your pool and the overall demand for pools is low at this time of year, you will not have to put up with delays. By installing in the Fall, you avoid waiting for good weather or parts and labour, which means the installation can usually be completed much faster.

Take Advantage of End of Season Savings

Purchasing a pool in the Fall can lead to big savings. Because it is the end of the summer season, you can usually find end of season sales for pools and pool related items like liners and covers.

Don’t forget to explore the option of claiming your pool investment on your tax return as a home improvement expense, which could help you save even more.

It’s true that installing a pool in the Fall will test your patience because you’ll have to wait until Summer to use it, but the benefits really do outweigh the costs. Just think, you will be ahead of the game in the Spring - when the weather starts to warm up you’ll be ready to jump into your new pool, cool off and enjoy your beautiful backyard improvements immediately.
