Renaissance pools ease worries

Milt and Frankie Menchey said they are glad they don't have to worry about their new pool.

"A lot of our neighbors have had pools and over the years we've seen people draining them, acid washing, replastering and fighting problems with algae. We learned that this is routine maintenance with concrete pools and we hoped to find a sensible alternative...," Frankie Menchey said.

"Then, we did some research and heard about Renaissance Pools & Spas and their ceramic-epoxy construction. We heard their pools were more durable, required a fraction of the chemicals and needed far less maintenance than a concrete pool. Based on that knowledge, we decided to contract with Renaissance and we haven't had a single regret," she said.

Milt Menchey agreed.

"I never wanted a pool, because of the stories I had heard about the all problems you can have with them. The ceramic-epoxy construction ... makes much more sense and promises to save you a lot of time and money over the years. Our pool has been a delight since the day we filled it. In fact, when our daughter heard we were buying a pool, she came with us and bought a ... pool that same day... Everyone we worked with -- from the sales staff to the installation crew -- was friendly, knowledgeable and responsive to our questions and requests," he said.

Renaissance Pools & Spas is the leading seller of in-ground, prefabricated pools in Southern Nevada and the exclusive dealer for the patented ceramic-epoxy pools built by Viking Pools Inc.

A wide selection of shapes, colors, finishes and sizes are available, starting at 10X16. Each pool comes with a lifetime manufacturer's warranty.

The pools are constructed with advanced composite materials, making them more durable than any other pool material, according to a company representative. They are installed faster than gunite pools, use less chemicals and have a surface finish that is resistant to other pool problems.

Prices range from approximately $16,000 to $32,000; financing is available.

The company has two showrooms, both with indoor and outdoor displays. The locations are 1245 N. Boulder Highway in Henderson, and 2180 W. Craig Road in North Las Vegas.
