Pools can get a facelift too! - Fresh, new look for an outdated pool is easy

Ever look out the window at your pool and wish it had the ambiance of a newer, more artistic version, with stone or rock accents, trickling water falls or even a cool, attractive grotto? If your pool is 15 years old or more, chances are it’s time for a facelift – and why not? The experts at Pools by Alltec Corporation have ways of transforming your old pool into a new appealing design perfect for outdoor living and entertaining in the fabulous Fallbrook climate.

“Even well-maintained pools are ready for a facelift at the 15-year point; that’s a good benchmark to keep in mind,” said Kenny Lawson, owner/partner of Alltec. In the industry, most pools come with a standard 10-year guarantee, but Lawson says typically you don’t need to consider a remodel for an additional five years.

“In 15 years, styles change; plaster starts to show wear and tear and tile loses its luster and begins to fade.” Lawson thoroughly enjoys the creative aspect of the business he started 18 years ago. Thirteen years ago, he welcomed fellow Fallbrook resident Ed Williams into the business as a partner.

“I like the creativity ; I enjoy working with it from the initial concept all the way through the construction process,” Lawson said. Approaching each project in an individual, unique way begins with Lawson working closely with the homeowner to understand the type of atmosphere they wish to create in their pool area.

“We can do the simple, minimally adorned style as well as the elaborate,” Lawson said. “With pool remodels, we keep the basic structure intact; doing a facelift is fairly inexpensive. People are surprised what can be accomplished within their budget and we tailor the project to their desires.” Lawson said it is a good idea to add some dimension, color and texture to an older pool to make it more interesting and attractive.

“We can add lighting to it and even the ambiance of a waterfall,” he said. Lawson said many times his clients will have a picture of a pool out of a magazine that they like, or he is glad to show them some pictures and ideas. After reviewing pictures of Alltec’s finished projects, many homeowners are happy to place their creative trust in the company.

Lawson says customers can also trust Alltec to give them a very competitive price for the project because they perform all the necessary work themselves.

“We are able to keep our prices down because we do it all; we are certified installers for Rico Rock and we do our own custom-fitted castings,” he explained. “We focus on creating a work of art with a simple plan, because you can spend a lot of money and waste it in certain areas.”

“That what sets us apart,” Lawson said.

While Alltec prides itself on the attractive remodel of pools, they are also experts on new pool construction and enjoy working with clients to design the perfect pool for their family’s enjoyment. Family fun is something Lawson knows a lot about because he is out and about in the Friendly Village with his family, participating in events and enjoying his hometown.

“We are out in the community a lot and I like knowing that I have been fair with people,” Lawson said. “We get a lot of word-of-mouth referrals because people have confidence in our company. I love that aspect of it, the trust that is placed in us.”
