Custom Pools & Spas in Scottsdale
engineered, permitted, warrantied — every project
New pool construction is the most complex outdoor scope you can take on. We engineer, permit, build, finish, and warranty every project — and follow the Arizona ROC-compliant pool payment schedule (15/25/25/25/remainder) so you're never overpaying for incomplete work.
What's different about pools in Scottsdale
Scottsdale lots run the spectrum: dense McCormick Ranch and Gainey Ranch courtyards, transitional desert-modern remodels in 85254 and 85258, and full North Scottsdale view properties in 85262 and 85266. We design with the site — sun angle, view corridor, grading, native vegetation — instead of overlaying a template.
HOA:Most Scottsdale neighborhoods require design review. We prepare HOA submittal packages — elevations, materials, lighting cut sheets, drainage — as part of the design phase, not as an afterthought.
Permits:Scottsdale enforces ARS 36-1681 pool barrier code and city-specific stormwater requirements. Permit work is handled in-house.

Pools in Scottsdale — FAQ
How long does a new pool take to build?+
Most new pools run 12–20 weeks from contract to plaster, depending on scope, weather, and city permit timelines.
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.
