About Sun Pool Guide

A directory of Arizona swimming pool builders that shows its work: where each listing came from, what we checked, and what we couldn't.

Who makes it

Sun Pool Guide is published by Local Guide Press, an imprint of Own the Answer Inc. The research editor is Jenna Payne. In her words:

I'm Jenna Payne, research editor at Local Guide Press. My job on this site is unglamorous: I pull every listed business from public records, check each one against the Arizona Registrar of Contractors, read their websites so the service details are theirs and not ours, and mark what I could and couldn't confirm. Nothing here is a review. If a listing is wrong or out of date, email me and I'll fix it — usually within five business days.

What's in it

280 pool contractors in 27 Arizona cities, 140 of them matched to an active ROC license, with 1,878 individual service facts checked against builder websites. Listings were pulled from public business records in October 2026 and the license register was checked on October 14, 2026. The method is documented here.

What we will never do

• Sell a spot in the main list. Ranking is by verification and completeness, never by payment or rating.
• Reproduce star ratings or reviews from other platforms.
• Write a service onto a listing the builder's own website doesn't describe.
• Run an undisclosed placement. Paid cards sit in bands labeled "Sponsored".
• Use AI-generated photos of people or of a builder's "work".
