A hole in the backyard, a contract that means nothing, and a phone number nobody answers. You're not the first, and you're not stuck.

What happens when a pool builder abandons the job?

You paid a large deposit. Work started fast, then slowed, then stopped. Someone showed up for two hours after you complained, then disappeared again. Now your yard is a fenced-off hazard your kids can’t go near, and you’re out five or six figures.

That isn’t bad luck. It’s a pattern, and Arizona homeowners have been hit by it repeatedly over the last few years. Here’s what matters now: the work already in your yard still has value, and you have options most people don’t know about.

What does the free site assessment cover?

We come out, walk your yard, and give you a written answer to four questions.

1. What's salvageable?

We inspect the shell, plumbing, steel, and electrical. Sometimes the structural work is sound and you're most of the way there. Sometimes it needs to come out. We tell you which, in writing, either way.

2. Where do your permits stand?

Abandoned jobs often have expired permits or failed inspections nobody told you about. We pull the record and tell you what has to be reopened.

3. Are there liens on your property?

When a builder stops paying subcontractors, those subs can lien the homeowner, not the builder. We'll tell you what to look for and who to call.

4. What does finishing it cost?

A real number, itemized, with a schedule. Not a "starting at" ad price.

How do I recover money through the Arizona ROC?

This is money you may be leaving on the table, and it’s time-sensitive, so it’s worth understanding before you do anything else.

Arizona’s Registrar of Contractors (ROC) runs a Residential Contractors’ Recovery Fund for homeowners harmed by a licensed contractor. A few things to know:

Because the process has steps and a deadline, the practical move is to open your ROC complaint now at roc.az.gov, even before you call us.

We’re not attorneys and this isn’t legal advice. It’s the process, plainly stated. For your specific situation, confirm the details with the ROC or an attorney.

Can you finish a pool another builder started?

Yes, and we’ll be straight about how it works, because most builders won’t put this in writing.

When we take over another company’s project, we warranty our work, not theirs. If we determine the existing shell, plumbing, or electrical is sound, we finish on top of it and stand behind everything we touch. If it isn’t sound, we’ll tell you it has to come out, even when that’s the expensive answer you were hoping to avoid. We won’t paper over someone else’s failure and hand you a warranty that means nothing. You’ve already had one of those.

Why trust another pool builder after this?

Fair question. You just got burned by someone with a license and a nice presentation. Here’s what’s different, and how to check it yourself.

Verify us before you talk to us. Look us up at roc.az.gov for license status, complaint history, and any disciplinary actions. Then run the same search on any other builder bidding your job.

We’ve been here since 2008. Through the crash, through supply chaos, through two labor markets. Four active Arizona ROC licenses, 400+ projects a year, and 15+ industry awards behind us. Companies that take deposits and vanish don’t last this long.

Milestone billing tied to completed work. You pay for what’s in the ground, not what’s on a promise.

Frequently Asked Questions

Start two things in parallel: file a complaint with the Arizona ROC at roc.az.gov, and book a free on-site assessment so you know what's salvageable and what it costs to finish.

Often, yes. Shells, plumbing, and steel are frequently sound. Our assessment tells you in writing what can be built on and what has to be removed.

We warranty our own work. Anything we build on or complete is covered. We won't warranty another builder's work we can't stand behind, and we'll tell you plainly if something has to come out.

 It depends on how much is salvageable. The free assessment gives you an itemized number and a schedule, not a vague "starting at" price. Financing options are available.
