Testimonials

There are not enough superlatives I can say for SOAZ Pools. Our backyard was dirt. These guys worked with us in designing for 3 months. Every time we wanted to make an additional change, Roy (Maybe the most patient pool/backyard designer on the planet) would say, “no problem, let me work on that” and he would have new drawings in a couple of days. Once we had chosen them and decided on our final design, they set a date a few weeks out to give HOA time to complete their review. When it was time to go, their workers were here bang on and let me tell you, they didn’t mess around. SOAZ has a great group of sub-contractors that exceeded our expectations in every way. Professional, respectful, hard workers that did great work. All these workers were being supervised by the skilled foreman “Braun”! He was here practically every day, sometimes with Cliff, others without, and his steady hand resulted in the backyard being about 90% complete in like six weeks. In summary, we had a pretty good idea up front that these guys would be the best choice for us (we had talked with six different companies), these guys exceeded the high expectations we had and then some. I just wish there were more businesses that operated with the excellence that these guys do. Thank you SOAZ Pools. Some others I need to thank.... -Itzel in the office was spectacular, so helpful all along the way... -Bo was the gentleman who got all the chem's perfect at startup, helped me learn alot. -Kevin and his team from Top Tier Landscaping did a fantastic job with all the non-pool stuff, hardscape, etc...

I'm so happy that we chose Southern Arizona Pools. The guys are true professionals! Roy was helpful in the design process and got the ball rolling. After that, it was Steve who oversaw the whole project. He made sure the job was done on time, even after we added some additional work. A pool doesn't happen overnight. That being said, there are a lot of people around working. They are very considerate. It was nice to see the same faces throughout the process. This really eased my mind about having "strangers" around my house all day. Steve and Monty even managed to win over my dog, lol! Bottom line... you won't have any regrets with these guys.

From initial visit for pool design - to completion of pool, hardscape and landscaping within about 5 weeks. Entire crew was very professional and did outstanding work. Kept us informed throughout the process. Everyone a real joy to work with and we kind of miss having them around. We would highly recommend using Southern Arizona pools. No pool company is equal to them......

We recently had our pool put in by SoAz pools. I don't even know where to begin describing the phenomenal service this company provided to us. The entire project stayed on schedule (pool was completed in 35 days from excavation to final product). We were updated on any changes that were needed. Steve, Justin and Itzel went above and beyond with their communications to us. Steve became part of our family since he was there almost every morning to check the progress and to answer any questions we had. The office staff and the actual crew who completed the pool were very professional and kept everything running smoothly. Do yourself a favor and have a conversation with Cliff when he comes to inspect your project. This company definitely goes the extra mile to make a person's dream of getting a pool come true! Thanks to everyone!

Thanks SoAZ for a great pool-building experience from beginning to end. Steve and everyone that worked on our pool were the best. We could not be more happy with the results. We would definitely recommend SoAZ to anyone looking to build a pool and create a beautiful oasis in their yard!

SoAZ Pools specializes in superb pool builds. We are very very pleased with our pool and gazebo project. Justin and his dad are great...they have an extraordinary Superintendent named Mr. Steve Minor. Steve knows everything about all pool building phase and shares with pride. Working with him was enriching. His meticulous approach and constant communication created synergy, peace of mind and true transparency...all this really made a profound difference and lasting positive impression with me and my family. Steve' Minor has no equal, his interactions were always positive and proved he is a masterful pool expert who loves his job and his people. His leadership focus helped deliver CONSISTENT HIGH QUALITY RESULTS, GENUINE COMMITMENT TO OPTIMAL CUSTOMER SERVICE AND VERY PLEASANT BUSINESS SAVVY! Totally impressed by SoAZ brand - you'll love it!!!

Steve Minor with Southern Arizona Pools is amazing. Southern Arizona Pools is amazing and have had the best experience with them through this entire process. Steve came out the other day to just check on a minor thing for us and he spent so much time educating us on the ins and outs of maintenance for our pool and even took our sample of water and gave a detailed analysis of how to better our current routine. There are no words to describe how he went above and beyond to go over so many things. He went above and beyond and you can tell his passion is in the pool business. He came to bring us a new cap for our chlorinator and he ended up teaching us about how to make our pool perfect. We love Southern Arizona Pools and recommend them to everyone. We’ve had so much better experiences than our neighbors who went with other companies. Steve just put the icing on the cake for us.

SOAZ is a fantastic pool builder to work with. From first contact, through the design phase, construction, finishing touches and beyond. The entire process was professional and seamless. Our build superintendent was amazing! If you’re lucky enough to have Steve Minor as your super, you have struck gold. He is the kindest, hard working guy. He is meticulous and does not accept sub-par work from anyone. He truly became a great friend through our build. SOAZ stands by their work, any small issue we’ve had, one phone call and it’s taken care of. If you’re in the market for a pool, I can’t recommend SOAZ enough.

We are beyond grateful and happy that our pool was built by the team at SoAZ pools! we started working with Justin back in February as we had a fall out with another company who abandoned our project. Communication was always seamless, and Justin helped us so much getting back on track with construction and gave a very clear picture of the process coming up. With all the city permit BS switching contractors and project planning they broke ground again in May and our pool was finished at the end of July. Every subcontractor that came to our home was friendly and hardworking, the amount these guys accomplished on a single day at a time was insane. Steve managed our project and was so helpful and kind and checked in on the project regularly. Our pool is beautiful, the yard looks amazing, we have such good feelings about our experience with this company. I would recommend them to anyone I know in a heartbeat. Coming from someone who has gone with the wrong guys before and seen just how bad a project can get, these guys raised the bar way higher than we ever expected. We know our project was not one of their bigger jobs however they treated us like we really mattered to them, it went a long way in our book. The price was fair and the quality was exceptional, if you really want a pool let them make it happen for you. GIVE THEM A CALL

Excellent Experience from Start to Finish with the entire SoAZ Pool Team!! From my initial consultation to the completion of my beautiful new pool and spa, every step of the process was handled with the utmost professionalism and expertise. Steve, Itzel, and Justin impressed me with their genuine interest in understanding my vision. They took the time to explain all of the options, walking me through the pros and cons of different designs and materials. This personalized approach made us feel confident that we were in good hands. The SoAZ team used 3D rendering software to give me a virtual tour of my proposed pool, which was incredibly helpful in visualizing the end result. Their creativity and attention to detail ensured that every aspect of the design was tailored to fit my landscape and personal aesthetic needs with my desire to have plenty of space for the pool and the yard for my dogs (some are even in the pictures)! Once the construction began, we were consistently impressed with the professionalism of the crew. Steve (the project manager) kept me informed at every stage, and addressed any questions or concerns I had. The quality of workmanship was evident in each phase, from the precise excavation to the flawless tiling and finish work (they even re-leveled the spa twice JUST to make sure there was an even amount of water slowly spilling over all the champagne spa edges!) Throughout the project, the customer service was exemplary. Everyone we interacted with, from the office staff to the on-site workers, was courteous and dedicated to making the experience as smooth as possible. They went above and beyond to ensure that we were satisfied with every aspect of the project. The finished pool and spa is nothing short of spectacular. The attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship are evident in every inch of the space. It has transformed my desert of a backyard into a luxurious oasis that we enjoy every day. Friends and family have been equally impressed, and we have received countless compliments on the design and build quality. Even the neighbors throughout the entire street have complemented how perfect everything matches the 3D design we didbefore it all started! I wholeheartedly recommend SoAZ Pools and Steve’s team to anyone considering building a pool or spa! Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to customer satisfaction make them a standout in the industry. Thank you to Steve and the SoAZ Pools Team for making my dream pool a reality!

SOAZ pools did a great job designing our backyard. The pool, jacuzzi, BBQ, travertine patio, turf and landscaping was creatively and professionally executed. The project was handled by Steve Minor, who provided many additional creative ideas, as well as managing the entire project efficiently.

We love our Southern Arizona Pool. Steve Minor did a great job managing the project. The workmanship on the pool, spa, fire pit, travertine patio and bbq is excellent. Any concern we had along the way was handled immediately and to our satisfaction.

SoAZ was great to work with during the entire pool building process. From the innovative design sessions with Justin through the actual build with Steve Minor, the experience was extremely positive. When a few minor issues were identified after the completion of the pool, SoAZ was right there to quickly address the issue. We would highly recommend SoAZ pools to anyone looking to install an inground pool.

We are three pools in with SOAZ all A-Plus quality and professional service. I have been in the building business for more than 40 years all over the country and from experience you count on one hand the contractors you can trust to complete their work on time and within budget. SOUZA is one of them. I can also tell you from my experience it is all hinged on the field super, and Steve did a knock up job on all three pools. He is on top of his projects and very responsive. The last pool was very complicated, and I would not trust any other company. I have three more custom builds and SOZA is on my team.

Justin and team transformed our backyard from a blank slate of dirt and rock into our dream oasis in the desert. The entire construction process, from initial design conversations to pool startup, went smoothly, during a time (2021-22) when horror stories were all you heard about. Justin mapped out our timeline at the very beginning, and they nailed the completion date right on time. Communication throughout was timely and thorough, and the end result was exactly what we were hoping for. Do not look any further... SoAz should be at the top of your list.

World class experience! Justin & Steve were professional and efficient. The design phase with Justin was incredibly simple, and the construction work by Steve and his team was hands down the best contracting experience we've had. Highly recommend this team. Thank you Southern Arizona Pools.

We could not be more pleased with the way our backyard project turned out. From design to completion, everyone we worked with was fantastic and each step of the process exceeded our expectations. Communication was easy and any needed adjustments were addressed quickly and graciously. Our family is absolutely loving the new pool, putting green, and artificial grass play space. The patio, outdoor kitchen, and landscaping look top-notch as well. There were so many hands involved in this project, but it really came together seamlessly and we appreciate the work and dedication put in by each one. Thank you, SoAz Pools!

Justin did a great job designing our pool and back yard. He had a lot of great suggestions we were not aware of. Their entire staff and subcontractors were very professional and super nice. We love our new backyard and pool. Thanks Justin!

We LOVE our SoAZ pool!!! The entire team is amazing - from initial planning, to execution, to standing behind their product and being there for us with any questions or issues. There should never be any hesitation or doubt to build your pool with SoAZ! We are so pleased with how the entire backyard turned out. Special shoutout to Steve and Justin!! (But everyone we have encountered has been awesome). Thanks again SoAZ!

Fantastic experience! They were professional and efficient. They moved through the pool and patio phases very quickly. Justin and Steve were outstanding. Highly recommended!

SoAZ Pools knocked it put of the park with our backyard. We shared our vision and they made it a reality. Communication was great, questions answered quickly. Quality is top notch. Our project was completed months ahead of schedule. We did shop around with this project before we started and felt SoAZ was the best fit for our project and we are very glad we picked them. We experienced a high level of commitment to costumer satisfaction and high quality workmanship.

I was totally pleased in working with SoAz pools. They were great from start to finish. They designed and installed my pool, travertine decking, outdoor kitchen and Ramada room, and I couldn’t be happier with the work. They were very responsive and the work is impeccable.

I had an excellent experience w Justin, Steve and their recommended pool service. Justin was able to complete my pool design and consult via zoom and provided me w detailed information. Everyone is very friendly, informative and quick to help. Steve assisted during my home closing, as my pool was built during my home construction. SoAZ pools is extremely reliable, experienced and I am super happy with my pool. I would absolutely work w them in the future when I plan to expand my outdoor design. Thank you Justin and team for making it seamless and being such great people to work with!

SoAZ Pools did an amazing job with our pool installation! Steve, the site supervisor, is great to work with and was always available to answer any questions we had. The work crews did great work and were always respectful of our property while they were working. We also had a travertine pool deck installed and absolutely love how it turned out! We’ve had our pool for two years and are 100% satisfied!

SoAZ Pools exceeded all expectations through the entire process and delivered an end product that we could not be happier with. Lately, we hear so many stories of pool companies taking months of not years to finish a pool, but we were finished right around 10 weeks after breaking ground. Communication was steady and kept us informed throughout the entire process. The superintendent Steve was nothing short of a joy to work with and kept everything easy to understand throughout the build. We cannot recommend SoAZ Pools enough if you are considering adding your own back yard oasis.

SoAz Pools did a phenomenal job designing and building our pool. They broke ground in early May and we were swimming at the end of June! They also designed and implemented a beautiful plan for our backyard. They were a pleasure to work with. They showed up when they said they would and always cleaned up after themselves. We could not be more pleased with the process or the result. We love our pool and yard and would highly recommend SoAz Pool!

If you’re currently looking for a reputable pool builder look no further than SoAz Pools!! This is my family’s second pool with them in the past three years and they never disappoint. With so many pool builders to choose from in southern Arizona you won’t be disappointed with this professional and elite team. From the initial design of your pool to the final walkthrough they make it so smooth and stress free. If you dream it they can build it. Justin is amazing with his 3D skills and rendering of your build! Thank you SoAz Pools!!

We love our new backyard by Southern Arizona Pools. Our property in Marana had a fairly big space to work with and design consultant Justin helped us get the most out of it. I like how he can take your general ideas of what you’re looking for and create something special. He’s also patient with changing the design until it’s exactly how you want it. From excavation to completion the project proceeded on schedule, even through the hot summer months we had this year. Their landscaping consultant, John, put the finishing touch on by adding a nice variety of trees and plants around the perimeter. As to be expected, there were a few issues at the end, but they were all resolved fairly quickly. I would recommend this company to anyone looking for a great new pool and backyard.

Don’t look any further for a pool builder. These guys are the best! Justin was so fun to work with, he came up for a concept that we LOVE for our smaller size yard. He was working with a blank slate and created something so perfect for our space. They nailed it! We have heard horror stories from friends who have built with other companies and are so glad we had such an amazing experience. There were a couple hiccups along the way, but I feel like that happens when you’re building anything. What matters is how they correct it and these guys will make it right! Cliff has been in construction for years and definitely knows what he’s doing! They are so efficient, our process started in March (from 3D concept/design), they started excavation in July and it was finished in September! We had a friend whose pool was being built for over 2 years and had major problems!!!! I can’t imagine the headache so if you want to avoid that, call SOAZ! You won’t be disappointed!

What more could you ask for? Design consultation with Justin was fantastic. He managed to take all the ideas in my head and incorporate them beautifully into the design. Construction was fast, and I mean fast. They were there every day from start to finish. I was amazed. Finished product was more than I could have hoped for. Your search is over. These guys are, by far, the best in the business.

SoAZ is BY FAR the BEST pool and landscaping company in Arizona. They make you feel like you are a part of their family during the entire process. Our pool turned out better than we expected. It surpassed our dreams. The pictures below speak for themselves. They were very responsive through the entire build process. The pricing and options are extremely reasonable. Justin is so fun to work with. He feels like a close friend to us now and we still keep in touch. The pool sold our home well beyond market value. We are now building a new home and immediately reached out to SoAZ to help make our dirt backyard a vibe again.

Our entire yard turned out phenomenally!

Thank you Southern Arizona Pools for making this pool installation such a positive experience. Justin patiently went through several design iterations until he created the perfect design for us. Callie utilized her innate design skill to help us choose pavers and tile that were exactly what we wanted. Our construction superintendent, Steve was the ultimate guide and resource to us as new Tucson residents. He always took care of us and sincerely wanted us to be thrilled with our new pool. We also used So Az to landscape our backyard. John took the time to meet us at a local nursery to educate us former Midwest gardeners and create a design that truly makes the yard a stunning oasis. Thank you to the whole team! Diana and Mark

SsAZ built my pool back in 2021. Amazing Crews, Amazing Craftsmanship. SoAZ was the only company who was coherent to my concerns, being a new pool owner. They stepped me through the entire process and the pool has been a true piece of art. They helped build and configure the pool in such a way that it completely self maintaining and they delivered what they promised. Great Job SoAZ and thanks for being a part of the family!!

After some research and getting different quotes from different companies, we decided to hire SoAZpools to install our pool in the spring of 2021. The attentiveness and communication that their company showed is what sold it for me. The timeframe was quoted as 4 months start to finish, but because of the COVID related issues, it took 6 months. We expected it to take at least that long even after the 4 month quote. Of course there were hiccups along the way, but SoAZpools was very attentive and would take care of any and all issues that came up. We have had the pool completed for 2 years in October and have been very happy. Even long after if I have any questions or any slight issues arise(because we are novice pool owners) SoAZ is happy to help and or fix. We highly recommend and the finished product speaks for itself!

What can I say about Justin and Soaz Pools...great design for our yard..quick work by their employees..we get so many compliments from our neighbors! We're looking forward to years of floating away the heat!

Best pool installation we could have asked for!!!

I love my pool! For the design, Justin Halbert is great to work with and his creativity improved on my concepts. Mark Carson is a tremendous project superintendent who managed construction from start to finish and made sure my pool was built properly. Southern Arizona Pools started construction when they said they would, and finished on time with no surprises. My pool is better than I expected, and I expected a lot!

Extremely happy with Southern Arizona Pools! Recommend them 100%! My custom pool is a masterpiece! Working with Justin and Steve was a pleasure. Very professional, quality work, great communication, and on time! They are organized and know exactly what they are doing. Excellent!! Top notch!!

We had an AMAZING experience with SoAZ. We had a custom, free form pool built and ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Everyone from demolition, to the pavers, & office was FANTASTIC. Steve Minor was so responsive, caring, and he made things happen. The time frame quoted was RIGHT on from start to finish (jumping in to our new pool) it was less than 3 months. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND SOAZ.

Great company! Exceeded our exceptions and delivered exactly what we were looking for. Finding a modern pool design with quality work was not easy to find. Highly recommend using this company!!

Love our pool and spa and beyond excellent customer service from the SoAZ team! Buy a pool - there will be no regrets!

Beautiful end product. Plenty of compliments from neighbors and relatives. We enjoy the pool and it’s 3 water features and night pool light. Fireplace and landscaping were installed professionally and look beautiful next to the pool. Outside kitchen is used often and compliments the whole package. Happy with the finished goods. Had a wonderful experience working with the install supervisor Steve Minor. Stand up guy that was all about making sure we were happy with each of the steps taken in building our pool. If we weren’t he would make sure things were fixed to our liking.

I have waited three years to post this review because every new pool construction is impressive at first. But I think it is more impressive when a pool construction stands the test of time. I selected SoAz as my pool builder because of: Design - SoAz took the time to fully immerse themselves in the concept I was looking for. We selected a design that was fairly unique yet would add value to my property. SoAz came through with several design ideas with various features and price points. The design we selected was fairly extensive to include a pool, water features, landscaping, and a fairly significant extension of our existing patio area. After three years, the design is still breathtaking in the evening when the lights come on and the fire pots are lit! Engineering - SoAz provided a pool construction plan that was solidly anchored in the engineering plan and design. My SoAz pool has more than adequate filtration to maintain significant water quality and clarity while reducing chemical usage. If the water filters well and ozone purification is introduced, the cost of chemicals becomes very affordable and attractive. My total chemical costs are less than $12 per month. My ph is very easily maintained with very intervention. Ease of Use - My SoAz pool is very easy to enjoy. Our biggest decision is where to jump in. Our pool employs a moderate degree of automation, and the system reacts to the pre-programmed cycles we have established. Construction Phase - The process of the construction of our pool was certainly exciting. During construction, we had access to project management who checked in on our progress regularly. They were easy to contact and very responsive. Doing a total SoAz makeover will cause some occasional inconveniences. SoAz was there to make sure everything went smoothly. Each phase of the pool construction was addressed by skilled trades who specialized in the phase that was being completed at that juncture. Each and every skilled tradesman were accommodating and respectful. SoAz Pools has created a great recreational and living space for our family. I've included a few pictures with one "before" picture.

5 star reviews are hard to come by these days. It takes a company who can ensure quality products, service, professionalism, and an end product that meets the expectations of the customer. Southern Arizona Pools did just this! From the moment we met with them for the custom design and planning to the final pool completion it was like clockwork. Within 3 months we had our dirt backyard transformed into a true oasis. This included a pool dig, all the plumbing, equipment/ installation, shotcrete, drainage, decking, tile, interior application, custom raised planter boxes, island barbeque, and landscaping to include plants, lighting and irrigation throughout the back and front yard. All this while we watched neighbors and friends wait 6-9-12 months for their pools and yards to be completed. Thank you Justin and team for a great pool and yard!

Justin and the whole SOAZ team were amazing from start to finish. We love the custom design and they even finished ahead of schedule.

Justin was awesome at helping us design our pool. We went back and forth several times and he was patience with us getting the exact pool and features we desired . Steve was our supervisor and we never had to worry about the job being correct as he went above and beyond our expectations. Would highly recommend them.

It was a pleasure working with SOAZ pools! From start to finish it was an easy process. Justin created the exact look I was wanting and Steve made sure the project happened! The turnaround time from digging the hole to the end was amazing! I was blown away with how fast and seamless the whole process was! Steve was always available to call and responsive within minutes. Don’t hesitate to use them, you won’t be disappointed!!

SoAz pools did a fantastic job turning my dirt backyard into a desert oasis. From design with Justin, to construction overseen by Steve, and landscaping finishing touches by John everything was done timely, professionally and on budget. They have also provided great follow up with any small issues I needed assistance with since completion. Thanks SoAz!

Soaz Pools did a put together a fantastic project transforming our backyard into a stay-cation oasis that we are able to use year-round with the amenities we added. Our designer Justin did an amazing job taking our inputs, showing pictures of "similar to" from their archives to help refine the vision into the finished product. Our Superintendent, Steve, is extremely knowledgeable, and ran a great project. The products used, and the quality of the craftsmanship that was ensured during build in the final product shows great attention to detail and we couldn't be happier with the outcome. We have highly recommended Soaz Pools to other friends that are also considering these types of services. Our dog Remington approves!

The SOAZ Pools team did an excellent job executing our vision and did it all in 3 months, even during the holidays and with a lot of rain. My family and I could not be happier. Justin is a very talent pool designer and salesman. He is very personable, knowledgeable, and accessible. His guidance thru all stages of the pool design, placement of features and lighting, and build (with some additions) was spot on. Tim and his construction crews are craftsmen and did a fantastic job. They were professional, there when they said they would be, and made sure to get the job done right the first time and with urgency. Tim was very responsive and knowledge and addressed any issues immediately. Bo, was excellent during the walk thru on how everything worked and what we need to do to maintain the pool and equipment. He went above and beyond, to make sure my wife and I understood all maintenance and operational functions of the pool. He also, came by to do this after he was planning to go home for the day to fit our schedule. Itzel, was very informative and responsive to our questions and concerns. She did an excellent job coordinating various aspects of the build and was on top of keeping us in the know. To everyone else behind the scenes, Thank you for making our dream come true. My family and I could not be more pleased with the end result. Our vision of the backyard was made a reality by SOAZ Pools. Thank you all for your hard work, attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction. We Highly recommend SOAZ Pools. Thank You All Sincerely, The Henderson’s

Justin and the whole crew at Southern AZ Pools is top notch! The experience from start to finish was awesome. Justin listened to our needs, wants and ideas and crafted it into exactly what we dreamed of. The communication thru the whole process was awesome. We were never left wandering when someone was gonna be there or when a certain step of the project would be started or completed. Steve was great on site making sure that everything was exactly as we needed it and took extra time outside of work to make sure it was operating as it should! We could not be happier! If you need a pool these are the go to guys in Southern AZ!

We wanted to wait a year for this review to see how the service was. We can now say that Southern Arizona was the best choice, hands down. Their communication through the entire process, from completion and beyond, was exceptional. Justin is incredible to work with. Anytime we had an issue after completion, they came out and fixed right away. I would recommend Southern Arizona to anyone looking for a company that values communication, integrity and quality.

This is our fourth pool so we knew how to go about choosing the right company to work with us. Design on the project was conducted long distance without a glitch. The dig, plumbing, rebar and shotcrete were completed before we arrived in AZ. No surprises as we were kept informed as progress continued. We have a backyard and pool that exceeded our expectations with regard to quality and timeliness. Top to bottom, So AZ Pools folk are the best and we would recommend them in a heartbeat.

Southern Arizona pools did a fantastic job of taking our new home dirt canvas and building us the perfect backyard. This being our first pool build, Justin's help and suggestions with the design was invaluable. Justin and Itzel also provided constant communication throughout the entire build to keep us updated with progress. With all of the current labor and supply shortages, SOAZ was able to effectively keep all delays to the very minimum to complete the project in the proposed timeline which was extremely impressive. We could not be happier with the finished product and would highly recommend SOAZ to anyone!

I am still wowed by how quickly the construction went - 2.5 months instead of the projected 4! The pool looks like it was designed and built at the same time as the house! The team was friendly, professional, and responsive throughout the whole process. Could not have asked for a better experience.

Beautiful custom pools

One challenge for any project of this magnitude is customer service. Our main guy at SoAZPools was Justin Halbert and if anyone deserves a 100 star review for his customer service focus, it is Justin. When we first started talking to him and asking questions, he was super responsive, even answering our email questions while on vacation and another time while he was sick. Most questions were answered within hours or certainly the following day, and we had a lot of questions!! During construction, he kept us informed of progress and again answered our many questions on a very timely basis. Justin made the project successful through a few bumps in the road, but was always our advocate when some issues developed like happens with any project of this size. So, if you get a chance to work with Justin, you will be very pleased with the customer service you receive.

We worked with SoAz to design and build our back patio oasis in conjunction with the construction of our new home. They did a great job working along side the home builders and delivering an amazing pool/patio/bbq oasis. We started the project during covid, but we planned well ahead, working through delays from the house construction. SoAz was able to deliver a completed project within days of the house closing, so I was able to move in and enjoy the pool right away. The whole process was great, starting with a unique design from Justin, and getting everything built in record time once they got the green light. When little details came up, Justin was on top of getting them addressed, often before I even noticed them. My first pool, and I wish all my projects went this well. Everyone comments on how we have an amazing pool. I can't be happier.

I started my profession 25 years ago as a civil tradesman then worked my way up to civil superintendent on industrial plants , lead civil project engineer on a couple power plants then to my current position as project manager for a large airport construction project. With this experience I can say without a doubt SOAZ pools installed my pool with the highest possible quality, on budget and on schedule. I personally inspected the drainage, dirt compaction, rebar, shotcrete, paver, and brick work. I couldn’t find any deficiencies. The whole team from design, financial dept, permitting, scheduling, construction, and start up were professional with an expert level of knowledge. I couldn’t be happier with the company or the final product.

Building a pool and patio with SoAz was a great experience. It was a pretty big job, with custom pool and 1600 sq/feet of travertine, so needless to say, we were pretty nervous about how it would go. SoAz was very professional, did everything they promised and all on time. While we were getting bids on the project, SoAZ Pools came in with the lowest bid, but also the most professionalism. They follow through. They were an easy choice at the time, but still… you worry about all the things that could go wrong. Importantly for this review, there were minor issues after construction (like small rocks clogging the flow pipe to the spa… but SoAz followed up quickly, came back out and fixed it right away. Very professional and conscientious about the job. Now that summer is ending, we’ve had this pool for about 7 months, and I’m happy to say it’s great! I’m very happy with their work and highly recommend Southern Arizona Pools for their expertise and professionalism.

Great customer service

We are so happy we chose Southern AZ Pools to construct our backyard oasis! We originally chose to go with a competitor (Omni Pools) , but that relationship went south shortly before construction. We then met with Steve Rosales at Southern AZ Pools…..sure glad we did! Steve was upfront with everything and explained the process from start to finish, and it went exactly like he said it would go. We had some hiccups along the way, but that is to be expected in construction nowadays. Tim, our superintendent, had some challenges to deal with, but at the end, you felt that everyone at Southern AZ Pools wanted to make sure we were happy. Chad, one of the owners, even came out a couple times to make sure our concerns were completed to our satisfaction. Thank you all so much! We love how everything turned out and are very much enjoying our backyard oasis!

Actually I went to a competitor which I really regret. This competitor has taken over 9 months to install my pool and its still not done. I met with Justin Halbert at SoAz pools and got a bid. Justin was really honest about the timeframe but I didn't listen. I went with another company that told me what i wanted to hear and I am still waiting for my pool to be completed. I've reached out to Justin during my frustration. Justin immediately got back to me and is giving me advice for another company's mess. Justin is a stand up guy and I would highly recommend him. Take my advice, go with So AZ pools. You will get the truth from the start and the advice of someone who knows the business.

SoAz Pools did a beautiful job transforming our patio into the backyard of our dreams and we couldn’t be happier with the result. Justin turned our vision into a design and the team made it happen in 4 months. They were very informative throughout the process, all the contractors were very professional, knowledgeable and easy to work with. We are so glad we went with SoAz and highly recommend them for your backyard/pool project.
