3 best times of the year to replace pool liner

Pool contractors need between two and six weeks to make a simple liner and between five and eight weeks for an extremely difficult job, such as converting a concrete pool into a liner pool.

Choosing a time of year when business for pool companies is traditionally slower can save you money. Plus, the company will have more time and energy to devote to your project. Consider these three best times for replacing your pool liner:

1. Late Winter

Pool contractors have time on their hands before mid to late March when pool installation season ramps up. The opportunity to take advantage of this pre-season time makes this a good time to order your pool liner.

2. Mid-Summer

Mid-summer, July and August, is another slow time for pool companies. Most pool liners are already installed and up and running.

3. Post-Season

The third, but in my book, the best time to replace your swimming pool's liner is after the season is over and most pools are ready to be winterized. September - November in most areas. Replacing your pool liner in the fall will also help you avoid next season's price increases. It is also drier and less likely to have ground water issues. Look for blog on 'Ground water issues'.

Pool liners, though durable, need to be replaced every 13 - 15 years, depending on wear and weather conditions. Replacing pool liners keeps your pool looking fresh and new and helps to prevent costly repairs.
