Pool Builders in Tempe, AZ

Remodeling leads the Tempe list. Of 17 companies, 11 do remodels and resurfacing and nine build new pools. A market weighted that way points to pools that are already in the ground and reaching the age where surfaces, tile and equipment need replacing, rather than to empty yards waiting for excavation.

The companies also carry longer public records than the size of the list suggests. The median review count is 44, well above what you find in cities with far more listings. Katchakid leads at 577 and Captain Pools sits at 148, but neither of those builds. Among the builders, Poco Verde Pools and Landscape is at 258 and Creative Environments at 144.

Thirteen of the 17 match an ROC record in the posting list dated 2026-10-02, and 10 state a license in their own text. Five hold B-5 and three hold KA-5, both pool construction classes, so the building bench is deeper than the remodel tilt implies. The other recorded classes are one CR-5, one KA and one CR-21. You can verify any of them free at azroc.my.site.com/AZRoc/s/contractor-search.

Commercial pools appear in five of the 17 listings, a larger share than in cities two or three times the size. If you are responsible for a shared pool rather than a private one, that group is where to start, and it is worth asking what each company currently maintains at that scale.

Best pool builders in Tempe

Fifteen of the 17 listings carry a description, so you can do more sorting before you pick up the phone here than on most city pages. Decking and pavers appears in seven listings and outdoor living and landscape in five, both smaller shares than the big East Valley cities post. That tracks with a remodel market, where the yard around the pool was built years ago and only the pool is being brought up to date.

Water and fire features are named by eight companies and financing by seven, so pairing a feature with a resurfacing job is a common combination here. Pebble interior finishes shows up in three listings and Baja shelves in two. For a straight replaster, most of this list will quote you. For a shell rebuild or a new pool, narrow to the B-5 and KA-5 holders first and work outward from there.

Heating and solar is named by exactly one Tempe company, the same count as in cities with twice the listings. If that is the work you need, plan on looking outside the city or asking a pool contractor here who it subcontracts to. For everything else, 17 companies is enough to collect three real quotes without widening your search.

Common questions about pool builders in Tempe

Why does Tempe have more remodelers than builders?

Eleven of the 17 listings do remodels and resurfacing, against nine that build new. That balance usually reflects an older housing stock where most of the pools already exist and the work on offer is resurfacing, retiling and equipment replacement.

How many Tempe companies can legally build a pool?

Thirteen of the 17 match an ROC record in the 2026-10-02 posting list. Five of those hold B-5 and three hold KA-5, both of which cover pool construction. The remaining recorded classes are CR-5, KA and CR-21.

Are there Tempe companies that handle commercial pools?

Five of the 17 list commercial work, a high share for a list this size. Start there if you manage a property pool rather than a backyard, and ask each one what it maintains at that scale now.

How should I read the review counts in Tempe?

The median is 44, which is high, so a company with 30 reviews here is below average rather than new. Check whether the big names build or service before you weigh them: the two highest counts on the list, 577 and 148, belong to companies that do not build.

Can I finance a pool remodel in Tempe?

Seven of the 17 listings mention financing. Eight offer water and fire features, so adding a feature to a resurfacing job is a normal request here. Ask whether the financing is the company's own or arranged through an outside lender.
