Pool Renovation in Geneva, IL
Aqua Vida Custom Pools renovates pools in Geneva, IL, covering liner, coping, decking, and equipment. Geneva has a lot of pools old enough that the original drawings are gone, which changes how a renovation is planned: what is behind the walls and under the deck is unknown until it is opened, so the sequence matters more than the wish list. Our shop is on Randall Road, minutes away, which makes staging work across a season straightforward rather than a scheduling problem.
What pool renovation looks like in Geneva
The useful question on an older Geneva pool is not what you would like changed, it is what is currently costing you money. A liner past its life is losing water and washing out the base material behind the walls, which is structural and gets worse every freeze-thaw cycle. Tired coping and a dated deck are cosmetic and will wait a season without consequence. Those two things wear the same word and are not remotely the same urgency.
What genuinely argues for combining work is access rather than budget. Draining the pool for a liner puts the main drain, the return fittings, the light niche, and the skimmer throats within reach at almost no extra disruption, so that is the moment to deal with them. Deck and coping work disturbs the surround instead of the water, which makes it a natural pair with equipment changes that need the system down anyway.

Pool Renovation FAQs for Geneva, IL
No, and on most older pools you should not. Staging around what has to be opened up costs less than staging around a wish list: liner work opens the drain, returns, and light niche, and deck work pairs with equipment changes. Doing it in that order avoids paying twice to reach the same places.
A liner replacement with base repair is about a week, most of it manufacturing and refilling. Coping and deck work runs longer and depends on materials and weather. A full renovation is usually scheduled across the shoulder season so the pool is ready for the following summer rather than losing one.
