Custom Pool Builder in Phoenix, AZ
Apex builds custom pools across the full range of Phoenix backyards, from tight central lots with mature trees and narrow side yards to the open lots of Ahwatukee, Desert Ridge and the north Valley. Your licensed Arizona builder pulls every City of Phoenix permit under their ROC license while Apex manages the process, and we scout the soil - caliche shows up across much of the city - before we quote.

Phoenix pool questions
How long does it take to build a pool in Arizona?
Plan on 3 to 6 months from signed contract to your first swim, with roughly 8 to 16 weeks of active construction once we break ground. The wildcard is almost always permits and HOA approval, which can take anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months depending on the city and your community. We publish the schedule up front and start the permit and HOA work early so the paperwork is not what holds you up.
Who pulls the permits?
Your licensed Arizona builder pulls every permit under their ROC license with the City of Phoenix and schedules each inspection - the pre-gunite inspection before the shell is shot and the final at the end - while Apex manages the process. Phoenix is a large jurisdiction with its own review timelines, and staying on top of it is exactly what the build team is for. You never call the city or stand at a permit counter.
What is caliche and why does everyone mention it?
Caliche shows up across much of Phoenix, and on older central lots the bigger challenge is often access - getting equipment past mature trees and block walls into a tight backyard. We scout both the soil and the access at the design visit and plan a harder dig or a difficult approach honestly, up front.
