In this informative podcast episode, Mike Holmes sits down with Heather Laing, Sales Representative from Leisure Pools, to discuss one of the most common homeowner questions: Do pools really add value to your home? Across Canada, from Toronto and Ottawa to Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, and Vancouver, this topic continues to spark curiosity—especially as more families consider enhancing their outdoor spaces.
Heather explains that adding a pool is not just about luxury; it’s about lifestyle, quality of materials, and proper installation. As Mike Holmes highlights, fiberglass pools have become the gold standard because they are durable, low-maintenance, and adaptable to backyards of all sizes. This is especially appealing for homeowners in cities like Calgary and Edmonton, where temperature changes can be extreme. Fiberglass expands and contracts naturally, making it a smart investment for long-term use.
The episode also covers styles, shapes, and the variety of finishes available. Whether you’re in Toronto looking for a sleek modern design or in Vancouver wanting a spa-like oasis, Leisure Pools offers options that fit every home aesthetic. Heather emphasizes that installation can be surprisingly fast—sometimes just a few days—something that many Ottawa and Montreal homeowners appreciate when considering project timelines.
Maintenance is another key topic. With proper care, pools can last for decades and significantly boost your home’s appeal to potential buyers. According to Mike Holmes, a well-installed pool often increases property value because it enhances the overall lifestyle potential of a home.
Whether you want a family-friendly gathering space or a year-round relaxation zone, this episode gives you everything you need to get started—no matter the size of your backyard.
