Custom Pools & Spas in Cave Creek
engineered, documented, and built to the accepted signed scope
New pool construction is the most complex outdoor scope you can take on. AE performs the design, permitting support, construction and finish work that is currently offered, accepted and assigned in the signed scope, and follows the pool payment schedule of 15/25/25/25/10 as written in that scope. Warranty applies per the written warranty terms in the signed scope, and the authority having jurisdiction controls review, inspection, acceptance and timing.
What's different about pools in Cave Creek
Well-water properties require different irrigation engineering and corrosion considerations. Equestrian-adjacent lots need fence and grading coordination. We plan for both.
HOA:Whether a Cave Creek parcel is subject to private HOA/CC&R or ARC review varies by property and current governing documents. The owner confirms this directly with the association; town or county review does not replace private approval. AE assists only where that work is currently offered, accepted and explicitly assigned in the signed scope, and no approval or timing is guaranteed.
Permits:Town of Cave Creek Planning handles municipal permitting, and adjoining unincorporated Maricopa County parcels use county permitting. The customer confirms the actual jurisdiction and current requirements for the property. AE performs only the work currently offered, accepted and explicitly assigned in the signed scope; the customer confirms the current requirements for the property with the authority having jurisdiction and any HOA/ARC or insurer, and no permit, inspection, HOA, or code acceptance is guaranteed.

Pools in Cave Creek — FAQ
How long does a new pool take to build?+
Duration is project-specific and depends on scope, site conditions, weather, material and equipment availability, and the review, inspection and acceptance timing controlled by the authority having jurisdiction. Any stated schedule belongs in the signed scope.
Gunite vs fiberglass vs vinyl?+
We build gunite — it's the only finish that fits Arizona's design and durability requirements. Fiberglass and vinyl have their place; that place isn't custom AZ outdoor living.
Does a pool increase home value?+
In Arizona, yes — when built and maintained well. We have a full guide that covers the numbers honestly.
