Custom Pool Builder · Mesa & the East Valley From dirt to cannonball.

A custom pool designed around your home, your family, and your budget — with design, engineering, permits, and construction handled by one accountable team. You dream it. We build it.

Custom backyard pool construction
All handled. All in-house accountability.

One team from first sketch to first swim.

Design & 3D Renders

We design around your home's architecture, your yard's realities, and your actual budget — and you see it in 3D before anyone digs.

Engineering & Permits

Structural engineering, city permits, utility marking — the paperwork mountain is our job, not yours. Got an HOA? We provide a complete HOA packet — plans, drawings, and renders — and you submit it to your HOA.

Excavation & Shotcrete

Precision dig, steel reinforcement, and a shotcrete shell built to handle Arizona soil and decades of summers.

Tile, Decking & Coping

Waterline tile, travertine, pavers, cool deck, and fire features — the finishes that make the whole backyard, not just the pool.

Premium Pebble Interior

Durable, beautiful pebble finishes that look incredible on day one and hold up for decades.

Equipment & Automation

Energy-efficient pumps, heaters, lighting, and phone-app automation — a pool that's easy to own, not just own-worthy.

Straight talk

Most pool build horror stories come down to one thing: communication.

Vanishing contractors, surprise change orders, timelines that triple. We built our process to be the opposite: a line-itemed quote before you sign, progress payments tied to completed milestones — deposit, excavation, shotcrete, decking, finish — so you never pay ahead of the work, and updates you don't have to chase.

3D

Design First

You see your pool in 3D and approve every detail before we break ground.

100%

Line-Itemed

Every quote itemized. No surprises, no pressure.

Here's the truth: a real build takes months, not weeks.

Anyone promising a fast custom build is skipping something — usually permits, inspections, or quality. We give you a real schedule up front, tell you which parts depend on the city and the weather, and keep you updated every week. Start in fall or winter, and you're swimming by summer. That's the American Heritage Pool Co. way.

03

The Build

Excavation, steel, shotcrete, tile, decking, pebble — milestone by milestone, with weekly updates and a clean job site.

04

Startup & First Swim

Fill, startup chemistry, equipment walkthrough, and warranty paperwork. Then the only job left is the first cannonball.

Word travels

What shoppers who compared chose us for.

★★★★★

"I interviewed 6 companies to rebuild my 1960s pool, and Jason from American Heritage was the only person who took the time to explain the issues with my ideas and designed a plan that fit my budget and met all my needs. The results are exceptional! Can’t recommend them enough."

John F.Google Review — 1960s Pool Rebuild
★★★★★

"Dealing with a 30 year old pool, we had rusting rebar, cracks in the deck … Their team of professionals worked quickly, efficiently, were respectful of our backyard … We have 3 dogs and never had to worry about any debris being left behind. We love our new pool and would give then 10 stars if we could."

Good questions

New Pool FAQ

How long does it take to build a pool in Arizona?

A realistic custom build runs several months from design approval to first swim — permits, engineering, inspections, and weather all play a role. We give you a real schedule up front and update you weekly. Pro tip: start in fall or winter and you're swimming by summer.

How much does a custom pool cost in the Phoenix area?

Custom builds vary widely with size, features, decking, and site conditions — which is exactly why we design to your budget instead of quoting a fantasy number. Every quote is line-itemed so you see where every dollar goes, and financing can spread the investment into a monthly payment.

Do you handle permits and engineering?

Structural engineering, city permits, and utility marking are part of every build — you never deal with the city yourself. You submit to your HOA as the homeowner — we make it easy by providing a complete HOA packet (site plan, drawings, and renders) that's ready to hand over.

Can I see the design before you build it?

Always. Every build starts with a 3D design you review and approve — layout, depths, features, finishes — before a shovel touches dirt.

How do payments work?

Progress payments tied to completed milestones — deposit, excavation, shotcrete, decking, and finish. You never pay ahead of the work, and every payment matches visible progress in your backyard.

Do you offer financing for new pools?

Yes — flexible financing designed for pool projects. Many of our lending partners let you pre-qualify in minutes with a soft credit check that won't affect your score — and turn the build into a predictable monthly payment.

In writing, every time

You never pay ahead of the work.

  • A line-itemed quote — every dollar tied to a specific piece of work.
  • New builds are paid in milestones you can see happening in your yard.
  • City permits and engineering handled for you when the work needs them.
  • Licensed, bonded & insured — look up AZ ROC# 332967.
