Tired of your old out-dated pool?
Make it beautiful again!
If your swimming pool is more than 15 years old, or is starting to look a little "dated" to you, then you might be interested in a pool renovation. This can be a simple facelift, or it can be a whole lot more. No matter how old your pool is, it can be renovated to look like a stunning masterpiece that was just built yesterday.
On the beautification side, some of your new options include:
- Long life aggregate-based interior finishes, such as CrystalStones
- Waterfalls, water curtains, rain walls, weeping walls
- Water arches, fountains, bubblers, aerators, scuppers
- Natural stone or custom acrylic decking
- Built-in tables, underwater seating
- Tanning ledges, beach entries
- Mosaics and all-tile finishes
- Fiber optic & LED lighting
- Raised gardens, grottos
- Fire woks, fire pits
- You can even add a built-in spa, a vanishing edge
or a perimeter overflow feature
Here's the basic step-by-step process of renovating your pool:
Capture the dream:
first we must determine what you want your new backyard to look like.
Design it:
next we will show you computer-generated before and after photos of your backyard
Engineer it:
step-by-step plans will be established according to the complexity of your design.
Build it:
some or most of the following steps will take place, depending on your project:
- Demolition of unwanted materials
(typically tile, plaster finishes and/or decking) - "Cut-in" any new features or options
(water features, In-floor cleaning, etc.) - Install new plumbing and electrical, as needed
- Install new features and finishes
- Fill it with water and start swimming!
HISTORY
The PBJC Story
Imagine…you, the president of a respected company-a company you've spent over twenty years working your way up-now earning a six-figure salary and enjoying great job security. You are in your low forties with a lovely wife and three young children, all of whom depend on you as the financial provider. Would you have the courage to walk away from the company? The position? The money? Would you have the courage to leave the security and start all over?
In 1989, John Clarkson left his employer and his well-earned security for a humble office space backed by his family's life savings. That winter, on the heels of financial uncertainty, Pools by John Clarkson (PBJC) opened for business.
"I didn't have money for advertising. All I had was my name and reputation and I worked hard to maintain both. I tried to listen to the customer and guide each individual through the pool construction process, from the design to the startup and all the construction in between. This way of doing business became the foundation for the company and has led to an excellent referral base-which I am proud to say we enjoy to this day."
- John Clarkson, President and Founder of PBJC
PBJC has been recognized as a “Top 50 Pool Builder” by Pool and Spa News. And while PBJC may be larger than most of the other Northern Florida pool builders, they've never lost that distinctive "family atmosphere."
