Bonded and insured
We carry the contractor bonds required by AZ ROC for each license class, general liability insurance, commercial auto, and workers' compensation. Certificates of insurance are available on request — contact support@aeoutdoorliving.com.
Written contract requirement
Arizona law requires a written contract for any residential construction project over $1,000 (ARS §32-1158). Every AE project is built on a signed written agreement that includes scope, materials, schedule, payment terms, change-order process, warranty, and a statement of your right to file a complaint with the AZ ROC.
How to file a complaint with the AZ ROC
If you ever have a dispute we can't resolve directly, you have the right to file a complaint with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors. Filing deadlines depend on the type of project. Under A.R.S. §32-1162, complaints involving a new home or other new-building construction generally must be filed within two years after the earlier of close of escrow or actual occupancy. For all other projects, complaints generally must be filed within two years after completion of the specific project. Confirm the current deadline and filing requirements with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors — current law and official ROC guidance control.

Residential Contractors' Recovery Fund
Under certain conditions, an eligible claimant who suffers actual damages caused by a licensed residential contractor's qualifying violation may seek an award from Arizona's Residential Contractors' Recovery Fund. Under current A.R.S. §32-1132.01, the maximum individual award is $30,000, subject to actual-damages limits, eligibility requirements, exclusions, offsets, aggregate limits, and other statutory requirements.

Bond & insurance details
AE maintains the AZ ROC-required license bonds for each license class, commercial general liability insurance, commercial auto, and workers' compensation covering team members on the job site. Specialty trade partners (pool plumbing, electrical, gas) are independently licensed and required to carry their own bond, GL, and workers' comp; we keep current Certificates of Insurance on file for each. Request a COI for your project at any time by emailing support@aeoutdoorliving.com.
Insurance information — what we display and why
What we say publicly: We carry the contractor bonds required by AZ ROC for each license class, general liability insurance, commercial auto, and workers' compensation covering team members on the job site.
What we do not post publicly: Specific insurance carrier names, policy numbers, coverage limits, or Workers' Compensation policy details. We intentionally keep this information off the website and out of public marketing materials.
- Carrier names and policy numbers change over time as we renew or move coverage.
- Posting coverage limits can be misleading if a reader assumes those limits apply to their specific project or time frame.
- Insurance documentation is shared directly with the party that needs it — you, your lender, your HOA, or the permitting authority — not broadcast to the general public.
If you need proof of insurance for your project, we provide current Certificates of Insurance (COI) on request, typically within one business day. Email support@aeoutdoorliving.com with the name and address you want listed as the certificate holder.
Advertising & license disclosure (ARS §32-1124)
Arizona law requires licensed contractors to display the ROC license number in all advertising. Our license numbers and classifications appear in the footer of every page of this site, on our trucks, signage, proposals, and contracts. If you ever see AE advertising without a visible ROC number, it isn't us — please report it to support@aeoutdoorliving.com.
Lien rights
Under Arizona's mechanics' lien law, persons providing labor or materials may have a right to file a lien against your property if they are not paid. AE pays our suppliers and trade partners directly and provides conditional and unconditional lien waivers with every progress payment and at completion. Request copies any time.
Permits and code
AE pulls all required permits in your name as the property owner and works to applicable IRC/IPC, AZ pool barrier code (ARS §36-1681), local jurisdiction amendments, and HOA rules. We do not perform work that requires a permit without pulling one.

If something isn't right, please tell us first. Email support@aeoutdoorliving.com or call (623) 300-2589. We resolve nearly every issue directly when we know about it. Your right to escalate to AZ ROC is never affected by contacting us.
