Founded in 1966, this Surprise-based builder says it has been behind more than 130,000 pools and remodels. Homeowners choose among custom gunite pools, fiberglass pools and other new-pool lines, each with options such as smart automation, an interlocking deck and an oxygenated water system.
Building gunite pools across the Phoenix Valley since 1984, this custom builder runs the whole backyard under one roof: inground pools and spas, outdoor kitchens, patio covers, pergolas, fire pits, pavers, artificial turf and desert landscaping. Pools can include Baja shelves, grottos, waterfalls, slides and LED lighting, and designs are developed with 3D visualization.
More than 35 years and over 35,000 custom pools across Arizona stand behind this builder, which runs showrooms in Surprise, Gilbert, Queen Creek and Tucson and a pool park in Gilbert where full-sized designs and water features can be viewed in person. It manages planning, permitting, financing, design, construction, warranty and monthly service in-house, with an in-house finance manager.
Weekly pool care is the backbone of this family-run West Valley company, which reports over 15 years in business and runs out of Surprise. Its service list covers weekly cleaning, equipment repair (pumps, motors, heaters, filtration, automation troubleshooting and leak repairs), new equipment and automation installs, pool drains, acid washes, tile cleaning and green-to-clean recoveries.
Part of the Cody Pools family, this Surprise office has served West Valley families since 1988 with custom pools and complete backyard transformations. Construction uses a rebar grid and shotcrete shell, with pebble finishes, lighting and automation installed to a detailed plan.
Building your own pool as the owner-contractor is the premise here: this Surprise company prepares the design, construction plans, permitting and structural engineering, then guides the homeowner through each stage using a vetted list of licensed and insured subcontractors. Projects can finish in as little as six weeks.
