When families brainstorm places to explore or excursions to take, they may overlook a close and convenient choice - their own backyard. The team at Sparkling Kleen Pools & Spas, owned and operated by a local family for the last 40 years, wants to flip that narrative and create outdoor spaces where families and friends create lasting memories at home.

“Your pool area is, in most cases, the biggest room in your house. But if your pool is outdated or the deck is cracking, it's not a place where you are drawn to spend time,” explains Sparkling Kleen’s Daniel Yohann. “When we modernize the space, redo the tile, and resurface the pool to a beautiful new finish, all of a sudden you're spending time with friends and family and it really opens up the door to host events, have the grandkids over, or throw something on the grill and have a friend over who you haven't had over in a while.”

Sparkling Kleen offers a variety of special features to make backyards more enticing. In addition to providing high-quality new construction and remodeling of pools and spas, they install outdoor kitchens, fire pits, screened enclosures, and other upgrades.

For example, replacing cracked concrete with hardscapes made of premium select brick pavers and natural stones, such as marble or travertine, elevates a functional space to an aesthetically pleasing area to use and enjoy. They can also install fun features such as a putting green and turf, creating multi-function areas perfect for corn hole and other outdoor activities.  

For spas, they offer heat/cool pumps which create water temperatures that range from 50 to 100 degrees, allowing a spa to function as a cold plunge pool or a warm oasis to relax. The same type of unit can cool down pools to ensure a refreshing swim during hot days.  Water features such as rain curtains, bubblers, and lighted deck jets add a relaxing and fun ambiance of the pool.

With so many options, homeowners can create an oasis perfect for family and friends. “I love seeing what projects look like at the very end,” shares Sparkling Kleen’s Sarah Quick, “and having happy homeowners who enjoy the new space with their loved ones.”
