Frequently asked questions about pool remodeling in the East Valley
What is pool remodeling, and how is it different from resurfacing?
Resurfacing replaces the interior finish of the pool (plaster, quartz or pebble). A full remodel can also include waterline tile, coping, decking, equipment, plumbing, structural changes and features such as a Baja shelf or a spa. Companies in this guide state their scope in their own words; ask which scope your quote covers.
Why do some companies show no ROC number?
Because their own website publishes none, or the number cited for them could not be tied clearly to their East Valley operation. This guide shows an ROC number only where the company publishes one on its own website. Ask the company for its ROC number and verify it yourself with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors.
Why do some companies show no rating?
Because their own website publishes no rating figure with a review count. This guide never invents a rating and never presents a review-site figure as if it came from the company's own site. No rating means no rating was found on the company's own site, not that the company is bad.
Why do some companies show no street address?
Because their own website publishes none. This guide states that plainly instead of copying an address from a directory, which may be outdated or belong to a different business with a similar name.
Why is there no fixed price in this guide?
Because no company in this guide publishes one on its own website. Pool remodel quotes depend on scope, finish, shell condition, tile and coping, decking, equipment and pool size, so a real price comes only after an assessment and a written quote. Ranges and one starting price found on company sites are quoted in the cost guide, labeled as such.
Why are new-pool prices not quoted here?
Because they are not remodel prices. Consultation-form bands, new-build financing, new-pool packages and financing terms describe new construction, not remodeling an existing pool, and quoting them as remodel prices would mislead.
Which companies serve San Tan Valley or Apache Junction?
Several companies name those cities as served cities on their own sites, but no company headquartered in San Tan Valley or Apache Junction with a full-remodel own site was verified. Those cities appear here as served areas, not as company headquarters.
Should I choose the cheapest quote?
Compare itemized quotes, not headline figures. Finish type, tile, coping, decking, equipment, crew and warranty can all differ between quotes that look similar at first glance.
What is a service-area company?
A service-area company serves the East Valley but publishes no street address on its own site. Those companies are marked as service-area companies in this guide.
