YOUR LOCAL EXPERTS
Custom Pool Installation Built for Desert Living
In a city where 1 in 3 homes already has a pool, choosing the right pool builder matters. ASP of North Phoenix combines nationally backed resources with locally owned accountability — delivering gunite pool construction engineered specifically for Arizona's unique climate and soil conditions.
Desert Climate Expertise
Phoenix's extreme heat, intense UV exposure, and expansive soils demand pool construction that goes beyond standard methods. Our gunite pools deliver compressive strength of 7,500–9,000 psi — built to withstand Arizona's unique conditions with a concrete shell that lasts 30+ years. We select UV-resistant finishes and light-colored materials that reduce surface temperatures and stand up to the desert sun.
Concrete & Gunite Specialists
Concrete and gunite pools are Arizona's most popular choice — and for good reason. Unlike vinyl or fiberglass, gunite offers complete design flexibility and superior durability against desert heat, expansive clay soils, and caliche layers common in Phoenix. From clean geometric designs to fully customized resort-style builds, we craft pools that are uniquely yours.
Permitting Made Simple
Maricopa County and Phoenix require building permits for all pool construction, and we handle the entire process. From submitting engineered plans and meeting setback requirements to coordinating barrier and electrical inspections, our team navigates Phoenix's permitting process so you don't have to. Typical permit approval takes 2–4 weeks.
Owner-Operated Accountability
When you work with ASP North Phoenix, you're working with John and Darla Borges — not a corporate call center. As locally owned and operated franchise owners, they're personally invested in every project's outcome. That means direct communication, transparent timelines, and a level of accountability you won't find with the big corporate pool companies.

Why Gunite Is the Best Pool Choice for Arizona
Not all pool types perform equally in Arizona's desert climate. While vinyl liner pools are popular in other parts of the country, they're susceptible to sun damage, fading, and faster degradation under Phoenix's intense UV exposure. Fiberglass gel coats can also fade prematurely. That's why concrete and gunite pools are the clear choice for Arizona homeowners — and it's what we specialize in at ASP North Phoenix.
Built for Extreme Desert Heat
Phoenix's unique soil conditions — including expansive clay soils that swell and contract with moisture changes, and caliche (a calcium carbonate layer common throughout the Valley) — require specialized construction approaches. Gunite's compressive strength of 7,500–9,000 psi makes it the most durable option for these challenging conditions, with concrete shells lasting 30+ years when properly maintained.
We also account for Phoenix's dry climate during construction. Concrete shell curing takes about 28 days and requires daily watering in the arid environment. We use cool deck coatings on all decking materials and recommend light-colored finishes to reduce surface temperatures — essential details that only a local builder would know to prioritize.
Your Pool Investment in Phoenix
Arizona is one of the nation's top pool markets — with approximately 505,000 residential pools and one pool for every 13 residents statewide. In Phoenix, about 33% of all homes have a pool. For many neighborhoods, a pool isn't a luxury — it's expected. The National Association of Realtors estimates that a pool adds 5–8% to an Arizona home's value, often translating to $20,000–$30,000+ in added equity.
Beyond the financial return, a pool in Phoenix means a private outdoor retreat you can enjoy nearly year-round. While water temperatures can dip from November through February (making a heater or spa a worthwhile addition), the Arizona swim season is one of the longest in the country.
The Pool Construction Process in North Phoenix
Building a new inground pool in Phoenix typically takes 8 to 12 weeks from excavation to completion. At ASP North Phoenix, we guide you through every phase — keeping you informed with clear communication and regular updates throughout the entire build.
From Design to Your First Swim
The process begins with a free consultation where we assess your property, discuss your vision, and recommend designs that suit your space and budget. Once your custom plan is finalized, we handle all Maricopa County permitting — submitting engineered plans, demonstrating setback compliance, and coordinating barrier and electrical inspections. Permit approval typically takes 2–4 weeks.
With permits secured, excavation begins. For gunite pools, the next phases include plumbing and electrical rough-in, steel reinforcement installation, and gunite application. The concrete shell then cures for approximately 28 days — a critical phase in Phoenix's dry climate that requires daily watering to ensure proper strength. Tile, coping, and decking installation follow, then equipment hookup and interior plastering bring the project to completion.
Pool Installation Pricing & Services
We believe in transparent pricing. New inground concrete/gunite pools start at $55,000 for a 12x24 build and range up to $85,000 for a 16x32 pool. Pool and spa combo packages run $75,000–$110,000. We also offer complete pool remodels ($15,000–$30,000), deck renovations with pavers or travertine ($8,000–$20,000), and water feature additions like waterfalls and fountains ($3,000–$12,000). Every project includes a detailed proposal with no hidden costs — as Erik shared in his review, we offer "very fair pricing" across the board.
