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. Treat them as planning ranges, not a site-specific quote. Your actual scope and price depend on design, site conditions, materials, and the work each written proposal includes.
When you compare proposals, compare what each includes — the scope, the materials, the exclusions, the warranty terms, and how changes are handled — not just the price tag. A lower total can reflect different scope, so ask each builder to clarify the differences.
Pool remodels in Scottsdale, scoped in writing before you sign.
AE Outdoor Living remodels pools across every Scottsdale neighborhood — from Old Town courtyards to DC Ranch and Silverleaf estates. Every remodel starts with a review of the shell and equipment before we price the scope, and remodel payment terms are itemized for your remodel in the signed agreement — they are not automatically AE's new-construction schedule.

Pool remodel payment terms
- Pool remodel payment terms are itemized for your remodel scope in the signed agreement.
- They are not automatically AE's new-construction 15/25/25/25/10 schedule.
- Ask for each percentage and the event that triggers it in writing; your signed agreement controls.
Written shell inspection + equipment audit
Before we price scope, AE reviews the visible shell condition (cracks, rebar exposure, skimmer and return integrity) and the condition of the pump, filter, heater, salt cell, and automation. Additional testing — such as a plumbing pressure test or structural evaluation — and the written deliverables you receive are defined in the signed scope. If the review shows anything that changes the recommendation, the proposal changes with it.
Scottsdale HOA + permit handling
- HOA architectural submittals (for example Silverleaf, DC Ranch, Grayhawk, Troon, McCormick Ranch, Gainey Ranch, Terravita) prepared by AE when the signed scope assigns them; the HOA controls review and timing.
- City of Scottsdale permits pulled where the work requires them — commonly shell modifications, plumbing/gas runs, and electrical; the city determines what needs a permit.
- Permit numbers posted to the final invoice.
