As a homeowner, you might have gotten used to the idea of allocating a budget to regular home maintenance. But there comes a time when you need to start thinking about what is actually adding value to your home.

Before you decide on the kind of improvements you need to make, you have to ask yourself some questions. For example:

1. Will you be able to recover the cost when you sell?

2. Are you planning to sell in the near future?

3. Are the home improvements functional or recreational?

4. Are they specific to your needs or do you want them to be generally favorable?

Pools are a great way to get the best of both worlds in terms of adding value and serving a recreational purpose in the home. You have a great entertainment space, which is aesthetically pleasing as well.

What are some things you should consider before getting a pool? Let’s take a look at them in detail.

Purpose behind the pool

What are you planning to use the pool for the most? Are you an avid swimmer or do you love hosting parties? Do you want to spend more time with your children outdoors?

Clearing out these questions before you hire a professional, will help you decide the features for the pool. This includes depth, shape, size etc.

Pool placement

The next thing you should ascertain is where you plan to put the pool. You want it to be somewhere it doesn’t restrict movement. It should also be open enough to make it easy for you to sunbathe and relax at the same time.

Cost

Keep in mind the cost of construction as well as maintenance when picking out the pool of your dreams.

A professional pool builder will be able to help you estimate if you have a realistic budget or a bit of a reach.

They will also help you factor in details like landscaping and lighting features that complement your pool and make it stand out.

In-ground or above-ground

It is advisable to go for an in-ground pool since they are more durable and longer-lasting.

They are also friendly to most climactic conditions and it’s easy to customize them to whichever shape and dimensions you have envisioned.

Above-ground pools work greater if you live on a steep slope neighborhood. However, just remember that this is not as flexible an option.
