Budget Pool Renovations

They did a great job. Finished sooner than expected, and we're always available for questions. They were able to do everything we asked. Highly recommend.

We interviewed several companies and chose Budget Pool Renovations. We went from older white plaster to a beautiful blue mini pebble pool. Rex stayed in touch every step of the way. The job was started immediately and finished on time. The teams were courteous, professional, efficient and left everything neat & clean daily. Gorgeous result, great customer service, all at a good price!

Rex and his team did a great job every step of the way! The job was done in a timely manner and Rex was always quick to respond to questions.

Tony and Rex were awesome they surpassed my expectations. Our project was completed in a timely manner with ease.
I would highly recommend using them they are a quality company. Tony went above and beyond to make sure that we were taken care of on our pool remodel.

Highly recommend Budget Pool! A neighbor recommended them to us since they had a good experience. We got a quote from two other companies plus them. By far, their pricing was the best and were willing to work with our requests. Rex made the quote process so easy. We told him what we were looking for and then left him to do all the measurements. We got the quote back faster than the other companies too. They were easy to work with and we communicated with Tony when he would arrive to check on the progress. Rex would text us every once in awhile to check in as well or give us a heads up on things. If something was not how we wanted or something was broken, we communicated to them and they made sure it was corrected or fixed. They were originally just going to do our pool and the deck but as we discussed the backyard remodel project more with Tony, he knew people that could do the turf, fireplace, patio pillars, etc. They did our whole backyard remodel. Tony also gave us recommendation on landscaper design, irrigation, etc. since they don't do those items. Pablo and his team were great as well! We never knew when workers would arrive but Rex warned us about that so plan to leave your gate unlock during the duration of the project. Sometimes the worker played music, we didn't mind. Happy workers = hard workers. They never played it too early in the morning. They respected the noise ordinance. Sometimes the worker left trash but that was OK for us because it was already a huge mess out there during the construction. We knew they would clean it all up when the project was completed and it was!

This was a huge investment for us and we love the results that Budget Pool did for us!

Please be aware of fake reviews, the same photos of the pool in the review by Torie (the review before mine) was used by a Victoria in Google. Different person, different photos, different name, different reviews, same pool. They clearly pay people to offset the negative reviews. Don't fall victim like I did...Search the ROC by the first and last name of the qualifying party, Rex, and see he previously owned a company that had three disciplined cases with the ROC and a Revoked License. STEER CLEAR of this company. I think since Rex took over this company went downhill. Poor workmanship, breaches of texted agreements, employees drinking on the job and leaving beer cans, kids cutting feet on uneven surfaces, gashes to the interior, stained grout, mismatched grout, splattering all over our yard, trying to increase prices after you agree to bid and pay, terrible decking job, false promises, just too much to list but I think our BBB complaint explains the worst of it: Description of Complaint: A dispute arose regarding the quality of work performed and Budget Pool Renovations placed an invalid and unlawful lien on our property. They were notified by our attorney that they were violating Arizona state law which requires a written and signed contract with the property owner in order to file a lien on an owner occupied property. They had no such signature or contract. Arizona state law also states that they have no longer than six months to enforce the lien which would force the home into foreclosure, they failed to do so because the lien was invalid and would have been thrown out in court. After their six months expired, by law, they lost their lien rights but they went down to the county and placed another invalid lien that is unlawful, groundless, and unenforceable. They are now engaging in paper terrorism and clouding the title to our primary residence which prevents us from selling or refinancing in order to bully us into paying for something we disagree with and that they refuse to fix. What they are doing is actually a criminal misdemeanor as well, next we will be looking into filing charges if possible. In response to owner's comment: We gave them an opportunity to fix the problems, they brought a tile guy who mixed grout with his finger in a water bottle and tried to fix the tile with his fingers underneath the water without dropping the waterline, the tiles fell back off the same day, he also stained the bottom of the pool with grout that was falling off his fingers and failed to correct any of the other items, they said they would have to come back out again and we did not want to have them continue making things worse and realized that we would need the entire pool redone after we saw it at night with the lights on, we did become willing to negotiate once more and we had a conversation with Rex and we asked if he was willing to fix the tile, he said no, we asked if he was willing to fix the interior, he said no, we asked if he was willing to fix the decking, he said no. He said he could get the pool under warranty and we asked him how he could do that since it was already voided due to improper procedures caused by their failure to get the pool equipment up and running and he couldn't answer. His response was; well, we'll see you in court. That was the last we heard from them. Rex is very difficult to work with and unprofessional. We asked to work with Tony only and he agreed in person then kept having Rex reach out to us. The neglect and incompetency we have experienced with this company is beyond anything we have ever experienced. We have pictures, text messages and proof of everything. They are now filing liens that they cannot enforce just to harass us. Tony, validating that you have a lien on our property is only further proof of your criminal activities. You only reiterated the same thing I said, giving me credibility while further highlighting your incompetence. Sure, anyone can look up a lien just as anyone can look up lien laws to know that you have broken the law. We never signed a bid with you because you kept trying to increase the pricing after we paid our deposit and were waiting for you to correct the bid which you never did. We told you from the beginning this is not a money issue, this is an ethical and quality issue. You failed to do the work you promised to do, fix the items we asked be fixed, even ones I could prove were medically necessary due to my eyesite, all were things promised in writing via text and bid that you failed to deliver. I'm sure giving out our full name and address while slandering us online/verifying you illegally lien properties will really make others want to work with you too, great job!

Update: Owner's Comment was reported to Yelp and removed because they included our personal information.

We moved into a house in January 2020 that had a pool already built. To our surprise, the plaster began chipping right away without much activity beyond cleaning. We got quotes from 4 different pool renovation companies and Budget Pool Renovations was the most reasonable priced and communicative. Rex quoted us 4-6 weeks to resurface the pool and add a Baja Shelf (tanning ledge). He even let me pick my start time. We chose October to wait until after swim season.

At first I was concerned they weren't going to make the quoted time frame because it seemed they were only doing one thing a week. First week drain, second week chip out, third week build shelf, 4th week resurface. But they stayed right on schedule and even let me change from the original Universal Minipebble we chose. The color we ended up with was Costa Mar. Once we filled the pool back up, the water looked a little green for about 3 days, but after chemicals and running the filter for 72hrs straight, it cleared right up and looked GORGEOUS! I will say this is a company that keeps things basic. If you're looking for intricate mosaic tiles, infinity water edges, or other fancy upgrades, this company will be very forthcoming and tell you that's not what Budget Pool Renovations specializes in... which I can appreciate.

I made the mistake of not selecting Budget Pools for my pool remodel. After my other contractor was weeks behind with spotty communication, I called Rex to get a bid to finish the job. I hired them and 8 days later we were swimming. Great communication and quality of work. If you're choosing between Budget and another vendor, trust me and pick these guys. You won't regret it.

After looking at a number of vendors (including the original builder, Shasta) that do pool resurfacing, we decided to work with Budget Pool to resurface our fairly plain 80s/90s era white plaster pool with a newer and more durable surface. Tony, Rex, and the crew were great. Once we decided to work with them, they came out to the pool and we looked at a bunch of their vendor's options for both tile and mini-pebble materials and we eventually settled on some tropical blue colors that turned out looking great!

Our pool is small, so they got the work mostly complete in 3 non-consecutive days to chip out the old surface, put in the new tile, and then do the new pebble surface. Tony was out at least once to check on things and monitor progress. The price was my favorite part - as for similar jobs, other vendors quoted me up to 50% more than Budget Pool, so that is fantastic. I'd recommend these guys to anyone who like us was seeing concrete through their fading plaster pool!

My pool was built in '94 an was really in need of a remodel. I decided to go with Budget Pools and definitely made the right choice! Rex showed up on time, sent the estimate the next day and started shortly after. Picking out tiles, decking color etc is not easy for me but Rex was very helpful with suggestions. The project went exactly how it was explained and even finished early. The end result is better than I expected. Tony helped with some plumbing issues that were not included in my project which was awesome. What was done: replace plaster with mini pebble, remove old cool deck and replace, install the acrylic lace on the patio, new tile line and skimmer bridge repair. There was a miscommunication about the deck paint color but it was corrected the next day, super easy fix. The only part that I think could improve is more details in the written estimate about what exactly is included. Everything that I needed was included (not in writing) so it worked out anyways. Rex was very communicative. My family definitely recommends budget pool renovation!

This company came out gave me a estimate. Contacted via text stating they can't do the repair on the spillway no problem! But they sent the estimate with it being done. I know my pool can be resurfaced! This company didn't offer in RESOLUTIONS ! WE GONNA HAVE TO PASS the estimator texted !  fine but what about resurfacing the pool? What are my options? This company is a Amateur company in customer service! I'm glad I dodged this bullet!

I would give Budget Pools 10 stars if I could.  Remodeling a pool is an expensive & stressful endeavor but Rex & Tony made it so easy on me.  Complete pool remodel in just 2 weeks is amazing.  The pool looks great and everyone who showed up to work were friendly & professional.  With the quality of the work, I doubt I'll need anything fixed in the near future but if I do, I'll be calling Budget.  Highly highly recommend.  Thanks to Rex, Tony & crew!

Excellent!! Budget Pools were on top of the entire remodel. I requested a quote and Rex came out quickly and answered all of our questions. He explained what to expect from the company and what the remodel process would look like. He also thoroughly described the types of different teams that handle each individual aspect of the remodel. Anytime I had a question or concern about what was going on, the owner Tony and Rex would immediately contact us. They were always really cool about making changes to the design. The pricing was so reasonable, and I would highly recommend Budget Pools to family and friends.

I contacted several companies in the summer of 2020, during the pandemic. They offered their respective estimates, but I chose to delay the job. When I revisited with them in 2021, Budget Pool was the only company who honored the initial estimate. We agreed on a start date, and to my delight, they were actually able to start ahead of schedule. Rex communicated with me promptly, and I was kept informed of every step of  the process. He answered my many questions patiently and professionally. The contractors worked very hard, sometimes into the extreme noon heat. We are most grateful for the professionalism of all involved in this project. I highly recommend Budget Pool to anyone looking for an honest and dependable company.

A pleasure doing business with them!!!!! One of the few major investments in my life where I felt like I really got what I paid for. The quality of work is spot on and the team was really knowledgeable and helpful. My pool looks brand-new. They use quality products and don't skip corners.

Tony the owner along with Rex the project manager treated us great. We had an interior pool renovation that included beautiful tiles, pebbletec, dedicated line, and a wiring of a smart switch for our pool light. We got lucky with scheduling and our pool was done in what we believe was a record time. It was finished in about a week even though the week ended with memorial weekend. We love it and would highly recommend this company for your pool renovations.  Thank you guys, you really knocked it out and we love it!

Tony and Rex were very responsive in getting to my house and giving me an estimate. The price came in very reasonable and included putting in Pebble Tec (not the brand but a similar product with sand and glass) , building the Baja deck and changing my tiles. The estimate was 2 weeks to deliver.
The tiles are Italian in aquamarine color and the pebble product I chose was sand 3.

Pros:
1) the team was very professional, friendly and did the service well. They left the area clean and did a good job.
2) the pool was delivered in two weeks as promised.
3) the pool looks beautiful and I am very happy with it.

Cons:
1) I never knew what time the men were coming. If I didn't work from home I could not have done this project as there was no scheduling whatsoever. There were days they came early, days they came late, days they did t come. there are different crews and one does not communicate with the other.
2) Tony is busy so he often does not respond to texts. I was trying to find out scheduling and if the men were Coming and at times couldn't get answers. If you call him he will always pick up tho.

So the communication part is the only reason I give him 4 stars. The results were great.

Budget Pools did a great job refinishing our pool, tiling and coping! They finished the job on schedule and the results look fantastic! Now we can't wait for summer to return so we can start swimming again!

Budget Pool redid the surface of our pool, replaced tiles and repaired cool decking.  Price was good (thousands better than other company) and they finished when they said they would.  We're happy with the end result!

We are very happy with the quality of work, kindness of the workers and professionalism of Tony. Everything we asked for, he got done. Any issues or questions, he showed right up to make sure they were handled. On top of it all, he completed two weeks ahead of schedule which is phenomenal considering how big of a job it was. We are so happy with our new pool.
We would refer them in an instant.

Services performed: Plaster replacement, waterline & coping tile replacement, cool deck resurface

Pros:
Rex-super friendly and always willing to help
Pool looks awesome
Job done within a reasonable amount of time

Cons:
Miscommunication on initial quote to add a waterfall with slide quoted $5k for what we wanted but actually ended up being $9k so we skipped it.

After demo we found out the supplier was out of the tile we choose so we had to go back to the drawing board and pick a new design.

Dealing with Rex is easy but Tony makes the decisions and is absent from the whole process.

During construction you never really know who is coming and when, don't be alarmed if there are people in your backyard when you wake up in the morning.

Demo crew broke an umbrella and painters stained a paver sidewalk, also had a bunch of debris in the gutter in front of the house but Rex had someone come out and clean it up. And tony is working with me on the other stuff.

Would I recommend:
Yes, it was a bit of roller coaster at times but all in all they were pretty easy to work with and did a great job.

We love our new pool!!!

We had a very positive experience inspite of delays due to the impact of COVID-19. Shortages in labor and materials were beyond their control. However, Tony and Rex were very accomodating and did their best to satisy all of our requests.

The various crews were very dedicated and safety was a primary concern - they were always masked when on site and kept their social distance when discussing issues with us.

Can't wait for summer!!!

Thank you Tony and Rex for all of your help.

We got several quotes to have our pool remodeled, including having the pool resurfaced, replacing the tile, and resurfacing the cool deck. Budget Pools provided an estimate that was about two thousand dollars less than the other companies. They got started on the work right away and it was completed sooner than expected. We are very happy with the way it all turned out. The only downside was the lack of communication. We never really knew when the different crews were coming and there were a couple of minor miscommunication issues along the way. However, I still think Budget Pools deserves a 5 star rating because they fixed any problems that we had, they were very reasonably priced, and the work was done sooner than expected.

We got our pool completely remodeled and we couldn't  be any happier! It looks amazing, the price was great, and they did great work. I would recommend this company to all my friends and family.

We just had our pool changed from plaster to pebble sheen, removed an in-pool spa barrier and created a baja shelf and upgraded our pool light to an LED light using Budget Pool Repair & Replaster.

Before work began, we received quotes from four other companies. Budget was the lowest, but that isn't the reason we selected them. They were very up front about everything - answering all of our questions and not pushing back on us for requests. (For example - one company said that we HAD to replace our pool tile. It was a $3200 charge. Well, we very much like our pool tile and figured why spend the extra money if we don't have to? When we told Tony our desire to not replace the tile, they said it wasn't a problem. Even with the added construction of removing the in-pool spa wall, his team did not damage any of the tiles.)

Overall the process was very quick, the quality of work is great, the price was great. The only complaint I have is that all of the communication was re-active from Tony - he wasn't pro-active with communicating with me in respect to project timelines, expectations, etc - but he was very responsive when we sent emails. But overall, the process was as good as a construction process could have been.

We hired Budget Pool Repair to resurface our cool decking and to replace the deco tile and scuppers in our 19 yr old pool.  We also had them replace the channel drain in the patio area between the pool and the house.  We obtained a couple of bids and although pricing was similar, we felt Budget Pool knew their stuff.  And, we were not disappointed.

From start to finish, Tony kept us informed about the process.  His crew worked tirelessly and professionally.  There are just so many steps that can be performed in any given day, so the process took nearly 10 business days to complete.  But, we are so pleased with the results.  Friends who have visited say the pool looks brand new.  We agree.

Highly recommend Budget Pool.

Tony is really amazing. On time and on budget. We love listening to the fountain as it falls into our beautiful, heated, pebble-tech pool. My daughter also had Tony and company resurface her pool a couple of years, ago. We both highly recommend Budget Pool Renovations.

We had gone through at least 5 different companies with five different estimates before we met Tony with Budget. He was on top of everything and would always quickly answer our questions. We had a big job, including 2500 square feet of travertine, pool renovation and other jobs.
We needed this all done by April 26th for a wedding in our backyard. He promised to have it done by April 15th.

Well guess what? They finished on March 31st!

Great company with a great crew. Thanks for blowing us away.

Id say these guys are OK. Not great but not bad.

The Good:

The final job looked good. It was a pool remodel job. Rather large.
The job was completed on time.
The price was fair.
The price never changed
The owner is responsive to concerns and available via text

The Bad:

The workers they use are extremely LOUD and play loud mexican music outside all day. No care for whether you'd mind or not. We didn't. Neighbors did.

The are extremely messy. They did not clean up well after their job and we will be cleaning up remnants of them for months to come. The deck itself should have been pressure washed when they were done, not just the pool. It's covered in stone dust like the rest of my yard. Pieces of plaster everywhere. The pool equipment should have been pressure washed as well. Its completely trashed. It's completely covered in dust from all the stone cutting they did right beside the pool.

The owner Tony is a nice enough guy but you really have to watch his guys closely as they work because he will not. He will basically only come out and address concerns if you call him. Which is not ideal. I didn't expect him to be doing the work himself but having a supervisor or himself swinging by a couple times a day would be nice.

Shortcuts. They took some shortcuts to the ultimate completion of the job which allows for them to come in a little bit cheaper than competitors. I wasn't aware of that when booking but quickly saw it during the job. Hopefully the shortcuts don't cost us in the long run.

Update: Just for the record NO ONE asked anyone for Thur documentation. That was a stupid comment made in the reply by the owner. Not sure why he would say that. Dropping the rating to 2 stars for poor communication.

Tony and his team are just finishing our pool repair and resurface. It's been a great experience. Tony has helpful input, his team is awesome, and our new pool is beautiful. It also helps that his quote was very reasonable and we were able to get more done within our budget than we would have with one of the bigger companies we got quotes from. Tony has also been very responsive to questions and has fixed little things here and there that were not necessarily part of the project to begin with.
Seriously, if you're looking to have pool work done, skip the sales guys and go straight to the source. Tony is a solid pool professional with a great team and an outstanding record of doing an A+ job.

I love how my pool turned out. Originally, Tony came out just to quote me for a new pool deck, but he offered me such a good deal on a full remodel, I ended up doing a complete gut remodel with new tile, a new cleaning system, new plaster, and converting the old cleaning system in circulating jets. My house is from the 30s and the pool was much bigger than anticipated once we drained the water, but Tony honored the quoted price.
Tony is responsive and truly an expert and I'm so thrilled with the customer service.
You will not be disappointed!

I am so happy we found Tony. He was quick to respond to my calls and answer all my questions to help me make an informed decision before hiring. We did hire him for the job and he was there when he said he would and did a great job completed ahead of quoted time.. Happy!
Our outdated equipment looks brand new.. Tony and his crew did a great job. I would definitely recommend Tony and his crew..

Rex and their team couldn't have been better. Our pool went from being the worst I. Our neighborhood to the best pool on the block!!! I can't recommend them more. If I could give 20 stars I would!

We bought our home approximately a year ago and got to spend one summer in our pool.  We quickly realized that there was quite a bit of work that needed to be done.  The existing pebble tec was slowly chipping away and the water feature/grotto was deteriorating.  Once we decided that this was going to be our first big home improvement project, I spent hours upon hours of researching several different companies in the valley.  Budget and Tony had the best reviews by far and after 10 different quotes his quote was by far the most affordable.  He gave us a 2 week timeline to completion and finished before the end date he originally gave us.  His crew was respectful and worked late hours when needed.
We are obsessed with the finished product and are impatiently waiting to be able to use it! Unfortunately we couldn't afford to complete the entire deck with travertine this year, but we will be calling Tony next spring when we are ready to complete.

Budget Pool Renovations did a amazing job with our pool remodel! We are very happy with the quality of work, skill of the workers and professionalism of Tony and Rex. Everything we asked for, it got done. Any issues or questions, they showed up right away to make sure they were handled. On top of it all, they completed the project in two weeks. We are so happy with our new pool! Thank you so much Budget Pool Renovations.

BEWARE!!!  I called this company to my residence because my pool was totally green from algae, I had gotten sick and wasn't caring for it like I normally do. So I spoke with Rex and he said he'd come by to see what it would take to clean it. As soon as he looked at the pool he was like oh no, it can't be cleaned now, it has to be drained and resurfaced, period, end of story. Me: There's nothing I can do right now to help this? His answer: Nope, drain it. the algae has gotten underneath the plaster. He said he'd email me a price on resurfacing and left. BEWARE of the DISHONESTY of this company. They were trying to really sell me the resurfacing idea when it wasnt true, which would have cost us THOUSANDS of dollars, versus a 100 dollars for some algae chemicals. The SOLUTION Rex, was a few consecutive days of shock daily, while allowing the pool pump to run for about 5 days then re-vacuum and BEAUTIFUL BLUE again. I will never ever call on your company again, nor will I ever refer you to my neighbors. BEWARE~

First let me say I understand COVID has hurt supply and made things much more difficult.  I get that.  We started working with budget in March/April.  They informed us COVID had made things difficult so they were not taking deposits until work was about to start.  Awesome, love that.  However, they made us believe that we were on the schedule and gave us an estimated start date.  When they came out for the estimate they were rushed and spent less than 10 minutes with us.  The price was right so we went with them anyway.  We picked our materials, went back and forth in design (through email)  their invoice was not professional or descriptive, it was impossible to see what the charges were for as it was not itemized.  They finally called late June and said they were ready to start, they came out and explained they were having problems finding pumps so they weren't sure how this was going to go.  I said we should wait until you have the pump (no use having a new pool with no pump) I then called my local pool store and they had 9 of the exact model that budget told me was no where to be found and it was 300$ cheaper than budget told me it was being raised to.  I informed budget of this.  They said maybe we will have you buy it then and we will put it in. Ok fine let's do that.  We were set to start in just a few days and they emailed me saying they were not going to take my project because of labor issues.  This is a small operation so they don't keep supply on hand, they seemingly have very little help.  If you've been trying to get your pool done you know lead times are crazy.  We went with this company and they gave us the run around for 4 months and then cancelled days before they said they would start.  I am grateful they did not take my money but disappointed they even entertained my project and wasted my time.  Given the current state of things I would recommend people pay the extra money and go with a larger company that has reliable labor staffing and supply.  We are very happy with our new pool company choice even though they were 5k more than budget it's made a huge difference.

We asked Budget Pools to replace plaster with mini pebble. Tony provided a quote a year ago which was in line with industry prices. We could not do it last year but this year we asked him for a quote again. His quote is now $2,000 above any established industry companies which also quoted prices in line with Budget's original quote from a year ago. Therefore there was no industry related reason for the price increase. Just felt like Budget tried to rip us off. Be aware of this and shop around. Tony's only excuse was that he has a lot of work and that prices of materials went up (which is not true just based on other quotes that are all similar and $2,000 cheaper). Be aware of this when dealing with Budget.

I found Tony through yelp and all the 5 star reviews are true!! He was able to come out the very next day after I contacted him to come see our pool and give us a very reasonable estimate to resurface with mini pebble, repaint the cool deck, and upgrade our equipment to add an auto leveler and dedicated vac line. He explained different options to us and didn't try to sell us anything we didn't need or want. He even suggested keeping the existing waterline tile as a way to reduce our costs since they were still in good shape.

Despite finding and repairing a leak in the main drain of our pool after chipping out the plaster, there were no hidden costs or additional fees charged above what was initially quoted to us (always a concern with any renovation project) - which I was really impressed by. He also finished our project a day ahead of schedule, it took less than 2 weeks total. Tony was always easy to reach and very quick to reply to any messages. Best of all, the work looks BEAUTIFUL, our pool and deck are like brand new again.

We will definitely use Tony again for any other pool needs in the future and recommend him highly. If you're looking for a true professional with integrity to complete your pool job with great results, on time, and on budget, look no further!

I cannot say enough bad things about this company and its owner to properly express my dissatisfaction and frustration.

Tony and his crew were outstanding.  The entire process from estimate to completion could not have been better.  Tony provided a very cost competitive quote, set the dates for completion, helped with style and color options, and completed the project in time with excellent quality.  Tony is now my guy for future pool work.

Tony and his crew were wonderful. As asked, he let me know when he was on his way to my home, when he arrived and when he expected to finish the job.

I hired Budget Pool Repair to fix the decking on my pool patio from a previous repair to the autofill valve that left the pool decking with some bare and frankly ugly concrete filler.

He had a few guys on the job to do the texture, and the paint and was finished in under an hour. I'd recommend Budget Pool Repair and would absolutely use them again for repair or replaster work.

Thanks!

We have had a lot of pool companies do work for us living in Arizona for the last 18 years. By far the best and greatest value was Tony and his eye for detail.  We purchased a fixer upper with a huge pool,  Tony turned a real dump into a palatial pool resort.  He did it all better than all the other big name companies we used over the years and for 1/2 the price.  Also great warranty, any little concern he is there the next day addressing it.
His crew was great, he has integrity and truly an expert in pool renovations.

Tony and his crew did a beautiful job of remodeling my pool. The work was done quickly and professionally. Any concerns I had were quickly taken care of. I got six estimates, all from licensed, bonded, reputable companies. Budget was by far the least expensive. Budget also has an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau. Give Tony a call, you won't regret it.

I'm so grateful to basically have a new pool from Tony!!
I was nervous about spending so much money to bring it from 1971 to 2018, but Tony helped me feel more comfortable about the process. He also took my vision for the beach area of the pool and made it even better than I had imagined! I literally feel like a kid at Christmas and cannot wait to lay in lounge chairs with an umbrella in my new pool!
Thank you Tony!!

Tony and his guys did a great job replacing our Kool decking.  The price was right, and they delivered as promised.  The deck looks great.  Tony was very responsive and did everything that he said he would.  Thank you!

Tony showed up with another man and spoke to this gentleman instead of me entire time he was here. My questions were primarily answered when he responded to the other guy he brought with him. Wonder if my husband would have been treated in the same dismissive and disrespectful manner?
Anyway, I received an email the next day with no details and a $7000.00 price tag. No response to my follow up questions. This man was utterly rude and a waste of my time. The budget name is absurd and his quote was $4000.00 higher than the company we ultimately chose. Worst review I've ever posted on Yelp thanks to Tony. For the record, I make the financial decisions and companies need to pay attention to the fact that this is the case in many households.

Tony and Budget Pools did a great job coming out and refinishing our pool very quickly. The pool looks great and the cost couldn't be beat! Would definitely recommendd

Two years ago Tony's crew re-plastered my pool, and restored my cool deck.  They did an awesome job.  I am more than pleased.  The company gave me a three year warranty on the job and today they just finished up with a couple of minor things that came up.  This company stands behind their work and does a great job.  I am more than pleased.

We couldn't be happier with the pool resurfacing. The pebble tec & tile is beautiful & was completed in a timely manner just as scheduled.  I highly recommend Budget Pools.

If Arizona can only contribute one natural wonder to the list of world wonders, I feel the awe inspiring Grand Canyon, in all its glory, should be removed, and Tony and his team at Budget Pool deserves to take its spot.

Our old 1970s pool was bad. Really, really bad. It was a mosquito cesspool. The surface was cracked. A skimmer and auto filler wasn't working. The dogs were using it as a toilet. The equipment was ancient and broken and energy inefficient. It was ugly and the pool line tiles were BLUE and YELLOW. The decking was falling apart and oddly shaped.  Our situation could not have been worse. We just pulled the curtains shut and pretended the pool didn't exist for six years.

We had around ten companies come out to give us bids, and the results were all over board. I began to wonder if there was *any* trustworthy company out there that could do the job at a fair price. Some companies would charge the cost of a house to repair our pool, ultimately leaving us with the same ugly pool we already had, but functioning; others seemed to have no clue as to how to repair it; others have yet to even get back with us, and in that time frame, Tony has already completed the entire project!

This was our experience with Tony:
-I saw his many five star reviews, and noticed their consistency. I felt good about having him out to give a bid (even though my husband was getting increasingly annoyed and losing faith at my lack of decision making after having ten companies out. He is now ecstatic I held out for Tony).
-Whereas we had to wait many days for most companies to send out an estimator, Tony responded the *same day*. He said he'd be there at 2:30. At 2:29, we heard him at our doorstep. At the strike of 2:30, he rang our doorbell. Talk about on time!
-Whereas most companies took a considerable amount of time assessing, scratching their heads, and trying to up sell or talk us out of our dreams entirely, Tony took about three minutes. He listened to what we wanted, saw the vision, and advised yes--he could make it all happen. In fact, he made us a promise: I will turn your jungle into a palatial resort. Tony kept his promise.
-Whereas most companies waited weeks to send a bid (many forgot to send a bid altogether), Tony had a precise, itemized bid the following morning.
-The bid he sent us was the most fair and reasonable bid we received, and allowed us to include all of our dream additions to our pool. Other companies told us in order to get such a fair price, we'd have to lower our expectations significantly. Another company, for the exact same project, sent a quote $10,000 higher.
-When we shook on the deal, and I handed Tony half the money up front, it was not more than one minute later that a crew was at our door, ready to begin.
-Whereas most companies would take months to complete their projects, Tony advised he could be done in four weeks. Two weeks later, we had a completed pool.
-Whereas other companies advised us of doomsday scenarios and all the costly pitfalls they may run into, Tony remained positive with a can do attitude. He worked hard to resolve issues quickly and made no excuses.
-When there was one minor communication issue, Tony owned up to it, took full responsibility, and immediately resolved it. That shows *character*.
-I spent several days of my life watching Tony's crew, mesmerized by their exacting standards, checking every square inch of decking with a level. I am a perfectionist, and they exceeded my standards.
-They kept their work area clean.
-They worked until sundown. They worked weekends.They worked so hard!
-Any question I had, Tony was responsive.
-Tony understands service. He's nice. He's kind. He's humble. He's funny. He's hard working. He takes care of both his customers and his team. He's all business. He's got a good thing going on!
-The last thing Tony cared about was money. What he cared about most, was that we were happy with his work. The bid remained consistent with what was originally agreed upon, and I feel we got value for our money.
-Tony is licensed, bonded, insured and offers a 5 year warranty. He takes pride in his work. He's working more than a dozen jobs at a time, but makes you feel like you're his one and only.
-And most importantly, as promised, Tony and his team turned our nightmarish eyesore jungle into the most gorgeous palatial resort. We feel like we are living at the Phoenician now. What was once our biggest headache is now our favorite spot on our property. A relaxing, beautiful oasis reprieve. The kids and us love it so much, we are swimming in February!

Thank you, Tony. Thank you, thank you, thank you for making our dreams come true! You have been a blessing to our family. We possessively did not want to share your information with anybody, because we wanted to keep you all to ourselves. But now that our pool is complete, we are ready to share our best kept secret (you) with the world :-)

First of all Tony and team are awesome! I was actually slightly nervous to use Budget Pools because their price was so much lower than other quotes I received and I wondered if any quality would be sacrificed. Totally not! Everything was done super professionally, clean, neat organized and looks awesome. Tony was able to walk me through the process and the different things I wanted done and the pool looks awesome. I was also very impressed how quickly the whole project came together. The pool looks awesome and I've gotten so many compliments on it already. I unconditionally recommend Tony and love my new pool!!!!

I can't say enough good things about this company. We needed to replaster our pool and contacted this company because of their great reviews. Tony and Rex were very prompt at responding to my questions and guided me throughout the entire process. They got the job done in 2 weeks. WOW. The pool turned out amazing. I couldn't be happier.

Tony and his team did an awesome job patching a crack in the pebble tec surface of our pool. Tony explained the process and options. He answered all of our questions. Their bid was reasonable in comparison to others. They finished ahead of schedule and our pool looks great. When our pool is ready for a complete resurfacing I won't hesitate to use Budget Pool and Repair.

Budget pool repair was always on time, accommodated our timeline and everybody was so nice and respectful! We are so glad we chose to work with them out of six others that we interviewed! Tony, we love you! :)

I hired Tony at Budget Pool Repair pretty much blind based only on reviews. HE was TERRIFIC! I live in LA but own a large commercial property in Phoenix that needed a Major Pool Overhaul. I called and he answered. He went to the property the same day. Got me a quote right away that I thought was reasonable. He did the job quickly and ahead of timeline. I had issues with the City and he handle hem for me. He answered every text quickly. Everytime I called he answered. The finished product was even better than I expected and he did extra work without charging me. I'd never use anyone else in Phoenix

No need to use these guys they're so busy they couldn't even give me a quote on replacingmy pool pumps filter heater and redoing the water line tile. They must be doing so well now you don't have to give them any more business. Don't call them it's a waste of your time

Highly recommend Tony and his crew! The pool looks fantastic, he was very responsive and the timing was great. Our pool was 18 years old and looked pretty bad. I had been holding off on resurfacing the pool because everyone had been telling me it would be about 10 grand. Ugh, too much money. But Tony gave me the best quote than all the other estimates I had gotten when the pool started to look too bad, and I was skeptical it would not look that great since it was quite a bit less. He promised it would look like a brand new pool. And it totally does! It seriously looks like a brand new pool and it was done exactly when he said it would be done.

Great service.  Tony is very responsive and reliable.  We have used him on several projects we have had over the years and he has always done a great job. His prices are also very fair.

It is not often I am so satisfied with a job or service that I take the time to write a review but this is an exception.  Tony went above and beyond our expectations getting our old tired  pool in new condition in a very short period of time and at a very fair price.  We had an old infloor system removed, new vacume line installed, new mini pebble surface, light and plumbing redone and pump seal and impeller replaced.  Every day sombody was working on the pool until it was complete and all in less than 3 weeks.  He even had great references for other work we had done in the backyard. We appreciated the fact he answered his phone every time we had a question and came to the house at least 2 times a week to check on the progress.  He is positive and easy to talk to and did everything he could to see that the job was done right and we were happy with the final product.

Tony is an honest contractor. My pool pumps had electrical issues. He tested it and had it repaired. It worked great ever since. He did pavers jobs around my house and it was reasonable, prompt, courteious, and timely. He is very knowledgeable and understand pool water chemistry, knows how to manage pool chemical use and has lots of tricks up his sleeve.

I highly recommend Budget Pool Repair for pool concrete work, power supply issues, pavers, and all other miscellaneous work.

Tony and his crew is amazing! His prices are very decent and he isn't trying to rip people off at all. His workers are respectful and they clean up well after themselves. The services provided to us was to demo out the original pool and we are putting new tile and redoing the pebble tec. Today the crew is here to add the new pebble tec and once it's done I will show you the finished product. You can surely depend on Tony replying back with a phone call or text for sure he won't keep you waiting. He takes care of his customers no matter how many jobs he's got going on at the same time. Mahalo Tony

Does your pool need a facelift?  There is only one company to use for this job, Budget Pool Repair and Replaster.  Their prices are very reasonable and their work is excellent.  Tony is terrific to work with. He is very knowledgeable and responsive to your needs. Jose is a great compliment to Tony.  Our pool was just finished and it looks fabulous.

Budget Pool Repair and Replaster did a fantastic job on our pool. Not only was their quote reasonable, they also completed the work quickly, and there were no unexpected costs or surprises. The entire project, which consisted of chipping out an old cracked pebble surface, putting on a new pebble service, installing all new equipment, adding a new suction line, and adding a water leveler took only three work days to complete over the course of seven total days. The work was high quality, came with a solid warranty, and Tony has been willing to help me out with any questions I have had since it was completed. I give Budget Pools my highest recommendation.

Tony is great and very easy to work with. He is very responsive and will help with anything you need. Our pool got a complete overhaul and we love our results! Now we have our own private Oasis in the desert.

I had just purchased a home with a beautiful pool and spa. That beautiful blue water didn't last long as the late summer monsoons turned the pool green without the regular maintenance (the home was vacant during renovation for several months). I poured over $500 dollars worth of chemicals to restore the pool, but each time, it would turn green once again.
This is when I researched several pool companies with great online reviews and had them all come out to give me their professional opinion. The consensus seemed to be that the chipped plaster had algae growing beneath the old plaster and it needed to be resurfaced. They each gave me a quote to install a new mini pebble surface and new pool tiles, and Tony gave a very competitive offer.
Tony and his crew completed the job in the timeframe they outlined. If that had been the end of the story, Budget Pool Repair and Replaster still would've earned 4 or 5 stars. However, my pool equipment had several leaks and the pool lights had burnt out. Tony let me know about these problems, then went ahead and fixed them all as part of the service - free of charge. Also, being a new pool owner, he re-assured me that I could call him for any pool advice anytime in the future.
Resurfacing your pool is an expensive endeavor. I'd recommend that you make it much less stressful and go with Budget Pool Repair and Replaster if you want an honest company at a fair price. Best of luck to you Tony and to your company.

Tony is an awesome guy! Look no further, you can not go wrong with him. He always responds promptly, whenever you need him.

Tony and his crew did a great job. We did a depth conversion, added a Baja shelf and installed new pebble finish and tile. They worked with me on some custom designs and was flexible throughout the project as I wanted to change a few items. They finished the job much quicker than expected and the pool looks great.

Tony was great to work with, got it done on time and it looks amazing, we had a total pool remodel so we needed replaster & new title , move equipment, cool decking, etc..His service was beyond what I expected, offering advice & suggestions along the way.Over All I know I saved Big $$ using his services. I have been a Licensed Realtor for more that 18yrs, and flipped over 100 homes here in the valley, I would recommend Tony to anyone who needs a good price on a pool/spa makeover.

Tony and his guys did a great job repairing my pool deck for a reasonable price.

Tony and his Crew were extremely professional and polite.  They finished the repairs to my listing a week a head of schedule, so I could list my clients property in a timely manner.  He answered all my questions, and responded to all my requests.  I can not recommend this company enough. As a Real estate Agent, it is important to have people you can count on- and Tony did not disappoint! Thank you Budget Pool :) I look forward to recommending you to future clientele.

Tony and his crew are an excellent company to work with. Tony is very responsive to your every need and will make sure you are 110% happy at the end. We are very happy with the way our patio and pool came out. His price was very reasonable and beat all other quotes. Pics to come!

Timely, professional and reliable service. Very satisfied and highly recommend Budget Pool!

I had to change my appointment with Tony and after chuckling he hung up.  He never showed up for the appointment, even though my husband waited for two hours.  Thanks Tony.  You won't be getting our business.

Tony and his team were incredible! He set high expectations as to how quick the replaster would take and definitely delivered. I would highly recommend this company

I chose Budget because of the great Yelp reviews and the positive comments are well earned! I'd had another pool company for 2 years and over time my pool started looking worse! Tony came out within hours of calling him and said I needed a new filter- not the acid wash etc that my previous pool company recommended. He installed the new filter 2 days after his initial visit and he was right! My pool looks new. Thanks Tony for your speedy response and for returning my beautiful pool to me!

We saw Budget Repair & Replaster on Yelp and found the great reviews.  Let me tell you, these reviews are true, they worked on a Replaster and Cool Deck repair and did an excellent job. We were happy with the speed and attention to detail that they provided. Our pool looks great. It exceeded are expectations. Thank you Tony.

I had a problem with air leaks in my system. Tony was very prompt and able to find the leak.  He is very friendly and his price was much less expensive than the time it would have taken me to fix it. I highly recommend them.

We researched companies for weeks, we found exactly what we were looking for with Budget Pool and Tony. Extremely personable, hands on, accommodating and beautiful work. You can't beat the price or quality. Tony is wonderful to work with and we hope to do business with him again. Thanks for everything Tony!!

I'm an Arizona licensed contractor and also a real estate investor. I've used Tony and his company many times over the past few years, for my business projects and at my residence.  We've worked on small projects and large ones too. The quality of work is great, the crews are on time and the price is fair. Keep up the good work.

Tony was great to work with.  He gave me several options to repair a leak in my pool as well as add some returns and vaccum line.  He was very affordable and gave me honest feedback on what the end results would be.  I am extremely happy with the final product and would definitely use him again.

Budget Pool Repair and Replastering did a recent remodel on our 30+ year old pool.  Tony, the owner, was quick to respond to our inquiry to meet to review the project.  He was friendly, knowledgeable and proactive in helping determine the best plan and finishes for the remodel and at the best value.  Once the work started Tony and his crews were responsive, friendly and tidy and the project finished on-time and on budget.  We could not be happier with the process and the finished product.  The pool is beautiful, and the water is crystal clear.  Thank you Tony, Manny and the rest of the team at Budget Pools.

Tony and his crew did a great job in resurfacing our pool. He said the job may take up to two weeks. It was all finished in five days! His crew was very friendly and they started the work after early morning coffee with us. His crew cleaned up whole area and removed all debris.  They started filling the pool on the fifth day, then Tony came and added all chemicals. The best of all was that Tony has integrity, honesty, and knowledge. Before Tony I had three other quotes, but it was Tony's great personality that we selected him to do the job.

We had Tony and his crew replace some missing pool tile and install a water leveler.  The initial price quotes was very fair and they were able to schedule the work quickly.  Unfortunately, his guys ran into some problems during the leveler install and ended up breaking a pipe which in turn resulted in them needing to spend a lot more time on the job and creating a much bigger mess than anticipated, ultimately resulting in us needing to drain the entire pool and refill.  Tony was very responsive to our concerns and worked to create an amicable solution to take care of the unexpected refill expenses.  His guys did a good job patching up the cement/plaster on the pool deck and cleaning everything up.  We'd work with Tony again!

Tony replaces our flagstone around our pool and spa with beautiful travertine and painted our decking. He crew was fast and did a wonderful job. Could not be happier. Thanks Tony

Our pool was fifty years and had cracks in it and the cool decking. To repair it we chose Tony.  We decided to put in mini pebble plaster and to not only put in new cool decking around the pool but also do the complete patio.  I thought we were going to have to replace the coping but Tony suggested that we keep it.  He added a different  texture to it and painted it to match the trim on the house.  We also kept the old tile and  just cleaned it. It turned out fantastic, we could not be more pleased.  And the price was fair.  How nice it was to have a good experience with a home re-do.

I have used Budget Pool Repair for several jobs and they do a FANTASTIC job!!!! Best prices and Best service!!! Truly A+++++++

This company is fantastic!  We got a great price on a variable speed pump and new sand filter, installed quickly and neatly. Tony, the owner, has a wonderful staff supporting him. We would recommend this company to anyone needing anything for their pool.

Wow was I surprised and PLEASED ! I I just moved into a 30 year old home with a old white plaster pool. The G kids and I used the pool last summer and knew that it was in needed of a re-plaster. Hunks of old plaster were falling off sides and the bottom plaster was worn down to cement.  I found Tony and Budget pool by searching Google, Yelp and home advisor.  I interviewed and received 4  ESTAMENTS  from  contractors. All were about same price give or take 1k. I know a thousand is a lot of money but I wanted a quality job done in a timely manor. Tony was a bit of a gamble, even though he had received great reviews from all the sites. Budget Pool seemed to be the only one that did re plaster as their main business. Others did this work as part of a pool service.  I meet with tony and picked color of tile and pebble color. Tony had lots of great ideas and suggestions. Pool would take two weeks to complete and be done before Thanksgiving 2018.  Demo crew came and had work done in 1/2 day. They took all ruble away and picked up yard. Tony crew installed a Baja deck and steps raised the deep end from 10 feet to 7 feet,  installed hand rail for steps, re cemented pool, installed tile and installed all new water jets, drains and water fill line that was broken. Crew came and applied pebble finish then acid wash and started to fill pool.  Each crew cleaned up after themselves all were  very nice and worked quickly. Since I am retired engineer i was able to watch complete process. Tony came every day to check with crews and speak with me. I highly recommend Budget Pools  and have recommended them to friends.

We hired Tony for replaster of our pool and cool deck repair/paint. He was recommended by our friends. Tony delivered good quality work and completed it on time in spite of weather set back. Our pool looks great!!We would recommend Budget Pool Repair and Replaster. Reasonable price with timely quality work!

There are very few people that do what they say they will, but Tony and his crew delivered everything they said they would and more!  If you love having excellent service with quality work done and excellent communication, you need Budget Pool Repair and Replaster.  They came in and removed old plaster, replastered the pool and re-cool decked at our house along with adding start up chemicals and making some repairs on our pool pump in less than a week!  We will have him build the pool on our new home!  Thanks Tony!  Your the best!

I can't say enough about this company! Our pool remodel started in early December. We needed the pool resurfaced from plaster to pebble tec and a complete resurfacing of the cool deck. After dealing with two other companies who had zero understanding of quality and integrity, we called Tony at Budget. I wish we had called him first...it would have saved us a ton of frustration, time and money. Tony was straightforward, fair and very affordable in his estimate. There was no trying to sell us stuff we didn't need. I asked for communication about the job (something seriously lacking in the other two companies), and Tony always kept us informed. His guys actually showed up exactly when Tony said they would. They were respectful of our home and cleaned up each time they worked here. I have recommended Budget Pools to a family member who's also been through an ordeal with Barefoot Pools. If you need your pool remodeled, I highly recommend Budget Pool Repair & Replaster! You won't be sorry! Thanks again Tony!
