Project Gallery & Repair Guide
A look at what we've built across the Phoenix Valley — and a straight-talk guide to knowing when your pool needs attention.
Every pool here was built or restored by our crew. No stock renders, no borrowed photos.
Full backyard transformation on a half-acre lot. Freeform pool with attached spa, raised bond beam, sheer descent water features, and a full outdoor kitchen with shade structure. The homeowners wanted a space that felt like a resort — we built it to last like a house.

Clean rectangular pool with a raised wall, deck jets, and LED color lighting. The homeowners wanted something architectural — no curves, no fuss. We used a dark quartz finish to give it depth and a high-end look without the high-end price tag.

Built for a family with young kids. Gradual beach entry, a large sun shelf with umbrella sleeve, and a separate shallow play area. Safety was the priority — we designed the depth transitions and entry points so parents can see the whole pool from the patio.

Proof that you don't need a big yard to have a pool. This 10' × 16' plunge pool fits a narrow side yard with room to spare. We designed the equipment pad to tuck under the existing patio cover and ran all plumbing through the wall to keep the yard clean.

Full outdoor living build. Freeform pool with a grotto, a gas fire pit integrated into the raised bond beam, and a custom steel pergola over the seating area. The homeowners use this space year-round — the fire feature makes it comfortable even in January.

A 20-year-old pool that had been patched and re-patched until it couldn't be patched anymore. We drained it, chipped out the old plaster, and replastered with a Pebble surface. Tile was changed to a travertine paver surround.

Arizona is hard on pools. High heat, hard water, and UV exposure accelerate wear in ways that aren't always obvious until something fails. Here's what to watch for.
In Arizona, evaporation accounts for roughly ¼ inch of water loss per day in summer — more if it's windy. If you're losing more than that, or if you're losing water in winter when evaporation slows down, you likely have a leak.
The bucket test is the easiest way to check: fill a bucket to pool level, set it on a step, and compare the water loss after 24 hours. If the pool drops more than the bucket, it's a leak.
Leaks don't fix themselves. A slow leak can erode soil under the deck, shift the shell, and turn a $500 repair into a $5,000 one. Get it looked at.
Plaster etching is caused by low pH, high calcium hardness, or just age. It starts as a chalky white haze and progresses to a rough, sandpaper-like surface that tears swimsuits and scratches skin.
Minor etching can sometimes be addressed with an acid wash. More advanced deterioration — spalling, pitting, or exposed aggregate — means it's time to replaster.
Arizona's hard water accelerates this process. If your pool is more than 10–12 years old and has never been replastered, it's worth having someone take a look.
Pumps, filters, and heaters are mechanical — they wear out. Common signs of trouble: the pump is loud or vibrating, the filter pressure is always high, the heater won't reach temperature, or the automation system is throwing errors.
A pump that's struggling to circulate water is a chemistry problem waiting to happen. Stagnant water in Arizona heat goes green fast.
Most equipment repairs are straightforward and inexpensive if you catch them early. Waiting until something fails completely usually means replacing the whole unit instead of just a part.
Whether you're planning a new build or dealing with a problem that's been getting worse, we're happy to come take a look. No obligation, no pressure.
