From 3D model to real life

Every pool is designed in 3D before it is quoted.

Drag the slider to compare the 3D model with the final design render. You revise it until it is right, and nothing is committed until you approve.

Built for Arizona

The desert has rules. We plan for them.

Caliche, HOA boards, monsoon storms and 115° summers are the four things that derail Valley pool projects. Each one is scouted, scheduled and priced before you sign.

Caliche

A hard, cemented calcium-carbonate soil layer common across the Valley, especially the East Valley. It can slow a dig from a couple of days to nearly a week, so we scout for it at the design visit and price a hard dig up front.

HOA review

Master-planned communities require architectural approval, typically about 2 to 4 weeks. We prepare the submittal and run it in parallel with engineering.

Monsoon

The National Weather Service marks Arizona's monsoon season as June 15 to September 30. Weather days are built into the published schedule.

Summer heat

A pool in full sun can reach the low 90s by August. A chiller or reversible heat pump can drop the water 10 to 15 degrees in July.

Arizona pool questions

All 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 actually builds an Apex pool?

Apex designs your pool and manages the project. Construction is contracted and performed by our licensed partner, PEAC Construction Services LLC of Peoria, Arizona (ROC #327629, A General Engineering, and ROC #346837, KB-2 Dual Residential and Small Commercial). PEAC pulls the permits under its own license and schedules the city inspections. You can verify both licenses at roc.az.gov.

Do you offer pool financing?

Yes. Apex works with HFS Financial, a home-improvement loan marketplace that matches homeowners with lenders offering fixed-rate personal loans for pool projects. Checking your options takes about a minute and uses a soft credit check, so it will not affect your credit score. Loans fund directly to you, and every offer is subject to the lender's credit approval. HFS Financial and Apex are not lenders.

Is the design consultation free?

Yes. The in-home visit is complimentary and there is no obligation. We measure the yard, check access and grade, and listen to how you want to use it. About a week later you see your yard in 3D and revise it until it is right.

Do you publish prices?

No. Every yard is different, so we do not publish prices. A firm written quote follows the complimentary in-home visit and a 3D design you have approved, with the schedule and warranty spelled out, so the number you sign is based on your actual lot.

What is caliche and why does everyone mention it?

Caliche is a hard, cemented layer of desert soil, a calcium carbonate that has bonded the dirt into something close to concrete. It is a documented Sonoran Desert soil, common across the Valley and especially the East Valley, and when an excavator hits a thick seam it can slow dig day from a couple of days to the better part of a week. We assess the likelihood at the design visit and price it honestly up front, so a hard dig does not become a surprise change order later.

Which cities does Apex serve?

The whole Phoenix Valley: Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, Chandler, Mesa, Queen Creek, Tempe, San Tan Valley, Peoria, Surprise, Glendale, Goodyear and the communities around them.
