This isn't a cost. It's an investment.
The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. But we want to be honest about how to read them. Your Phoenix glass pool fence isn't a line-item expense; it's an investment in your home's value, your family's daily experience, and a space you'll use for the next twenty to thirty years.
When you compare bids, compare what you're investing in — the spec, the crews, the warranty, the company that will still be standing in year ten — not just the price tag. The lowest bid is almost always the most expensive build over time.

What we install
- Frameless glass pool fencing — near-invisible barrier, 1/2" tempered glass, structural bottom spigots.
- Semi-frameless glass pool fencing — spigot + mini-post system, ~30–40% less than fully frameless.
- Glass pool gates — self-closing, self-latching, code-rated Magna-Latch or D&D hardware.
- Glass deck railing (raised patios, balconies, second-story terraces).
- Commercial glass pool fencing — HOAs, resorts, community pools, apartment complexes.
- Retrofit and replacement — swapping existing wrought iron or mesh for glass without redoing the pool deck.
The AE Phoenix glass fence install spec (code-first, always)

- Maximum 4" gap under the fence (Arizona pool barrier code).
- Minimum 5-ft barrier height (or higher where AHJ requires).
- Optional ClearShield or Diamon-Fusion glass coating to fight hard-water spotting.

Start My Project PlanWhy this is an investment, not a cost.
An AE backyard is engineered to add daily livability and long-term home value. We publish honest ranges and build to code with a licensed and bonded Arizona crew. AE provides project-specific workmanship and manufacturer-warranty information in the signed agreement. Website summaries are for planning only.
- Licensed, bonded & insured in Arizona. ROC 340966 (R-62) · ROC 341002 (R-3) · ROC 347738 (KA-5) · ROC 211530 (CR-21). Most Arizona contracting work valued at $1,000 or more — or requiring a permit — must be performed by a properly licensed contractor, subject to statutory exemptions. Verify the legal entity, license status, and classification with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors.
- Real ranges, itemized scope. You see materials, finishes, equipment models, and a line-item budget before you sign — not a one-line "pool — $90,000."
