If you’ve been thinking about remodeling your pool or spa, fall and winter are the perfect seasons to bring that vision to life – especially in Fort Lauderdale. While much of the country is preparing to close pools for the winter, South Florida homeowners enjoy mild weather year-round. This unique climate creates a golden opportunity to upgrade your pool and outdoor living space without interrupting summer swim time.
Why Remodel in the Fall and Winter?
At Somar Pools, LLC, we specialize in transforming outdated or worn-out pools into luxurious, functional retreats. Whether you want to resurface your pool, modernize the tile, redesign the deck, or upgrade lighting and water features, the cooler months are your best bet for timely, cost-effective remodeling. Some benefits of remodeling during the off-season:
1. Avoid Summer Delays
In Fort Lauderdale, the busiest time for pool contractors is spring and early summer. By tackling your remodel in fall or winter, you can avoid long wait times and scheduling conflicts. Crews are more available, timelines are often shorter, and you’ll have your pool ready before peak season.
2. Ideal Weather for Construction
South Florida’s fall and winter months offer drier, cooler weather, which is perfect for construction work. Lower humidity and reduced rainfall make it easier for resurfacing materials, decking, and tile work to cure properly, ensuring long-lasting results.
3. Less Interruption to Your Lifestyle
Let’s face it: most homeowners don’t use their pools as frequently during the cooler months. This makes fall and winter the most convenient time to shut things down temporarily without disrupting your routine or outdoor entertaining plans.
4. Maximize Home Value Before Spring
Planning to sell or host big events in the spring or summer? Remodeling your pool now gives your home an upgraded edge just in time for real estate season or backyard parties.
Remodeling Ideas to Consider This Off-Season
At Somar Pools, LLC, we’ve been proudly serving Fort Lauderdale and the surrounding South Florida communities for many years.

Our team combines expert craftsmanship with superior customer service to deliver results you’ll love for years.
We work with homeowners in Las Olas, Coral Ridge, Wilton Manors, Plantation, Weston, and beyond to reimagine, renovate, and revitalize pools and spas of all shapes and sizes. Here are some of our remodeling specialties:
Pool Resurfacing
Is your pool surface starting to look dull, cracked, or stained? Fall and winter are the best time to resurface your pool with options like pebble finishes, quartz, or traditional plaster. Not only does resurfacing restore beauty—it also improves the comfort and longevity of your pool.
Deck Upgrades
A beautiful pool needs an equally beautiful deck. Replace old pavers or worn-out concrete with travertine, marble, or cool deck finishes that stay comfortable underfoot in the Florida sun. Consider expanding the deck to create space for lounging or an outdoor kitchen.
Tile and Coping Replacement
Outdated tile can make your pool look older than it is. Upgrade to glass, mosaic, or natural stone tile for a fresh, upscale feel. Replacing coping (the edging around your pool) is also a smart way to refresh the look and improve safety.
Spa Enhancements
If you already have a spa, fall is a great time to upgrade the jets, lighting, or seating. Don’t have one? Consider adding a custom spa during your remodel to enjoy warm relaxation even during Florida’s “cooler” days.
Energy-Efficient Equipment
Remodeling season is also the ideal time to swap out outdated pumps, filters, and heaters with energy-efficient systems that save money and keep your pool running smoothly.
LED Lighting and Automation
Modern pool lighting isn’t just functional—it’s stunning. Add multi-color LED lights and smart automation systems to control everything from your phone, including temperature, lights, and cleaning schedules.
