Best Water Feature Design in Phoenix AZ

They built a 2ft high retaining wall in our backyard which looks great! They showed up on time and worked all day. A week later we found 2 cracked bricks. They returned and fixed them promptly. Thank you Rob and company.

its almost a year and still pool not done, now there is not much left and now the holidays are coming. Oh well I would say don't expect much with this company. i'm sure now that i posted something someone will call. My husband and i were told this would not take a year, well its almost a year, and they got their money for what they have done so far, so i guess that means the customer can just wait. just very disappointed, I would say look for a different builder, that might have more workers and better communication. They are very nice people, but as far as communication, not so great, but hey they got their money, I'm sure when it comes time and I have to pay they will want all their money really fast, to bad I can't put them on the back burner. oh well.

Hired Kangaroo Pools to install pool automation system. The process was not the greatest experience but it was not the worse either. To start, communication was in question as getting a hold of them is hard and the return time expect 24 to 48 hours even if they just called you or emailed you 1 minute before. After communication issues, I still decided to go with them and have them complete the work. They ask you to send photos of the system and give you a quote. They then give you a recommendation of what you need which is great. After a little back and forth my wife and I settle on what system to go with. At this time I am asking questions and making comments of what I need for my system and making sure the estimate includes everything and is within our budget. I told them we needed 3 actuators and they told me no you need 2. I repeated and told them again I need 3 based on my system and based off what was told to me by the pool builder. They said two will work and you will not encounter any surprises cost. I agreed and sent payment to get scheduled. You would think they would call and let you know a date and time if when is good for the customer? Not in this situation, I got a call from the installer saying he was on his way and will be there in 30 minutes. Luckily we were able to get the dogs locked up and let him work that day. A good thing Vanessa did was call and leave a message apologizing for what happened. I appreciated that taking accountability. So that was great. They installed the system and to my surprise I get hit with $120 charge for electrical whip which I could have ordered online $25 if they needed that and I still have wires going all over the place. But the kicker was the installer telling me we were good to go. Had he tested all the stuff he installed he would have realized it was not working correcting. Needed to get that 3rd actuator that they said we didn't needed. Another $250 and they charged me an install fee at that. But said they normally would charge $120 but charged $40 because of the situation. The situation that could have been avoided. Needless to say I feel nickeled and dime and it left a sour taste in my mouth. One thing I can say is they are very friendly and easy to work with for the most part. They try and fix the issues when they come up but could have all be avoided. I'm not made about paying for the service or equipment. I am upset because I was not told these prices up front which went over our intended budget. I'm also frustrated at the fact they charged be $120 for electrical whip that cost $22 on Amazon or Home Depot and tried to sale me on the face they normally charge $75 per for it. But even with that the $40 charge for the extra labor really pissed me off the most. I spent a lot of money for this system and to have this many issues with communication and service you would have thought it would have been. Hey sir we know it's been a rough go. We are just going to charge you for the parts.

No hard feelings the system is working. My wife and I hide all the cords that they left exposed. So from that stand point we are happy. No trying to bash. This company just giving an honest experience and you mark your choice. I do truly think they are a company that is trying to be great and just fell short for me but over all not a horrible experience.

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.

Fantastic customer service! Very prompt and thorough. I highly recommend smart pools for new builds, repairs, and weekly service! They actually care about when customers.

We completely ripped out and remodeled our backyard this year and we hired Phil and Shearon Design Collective to help us design everything. Not only did he do a perfect 3D model of what we designed originally, but he also gave feedback and improved on our original design significantly, then redesigned the 3D model. We're so glad we hired him.

Some things that he helped us decide to change were:
- [ ] Overall layout of the pool
- [ ] Height and thickness of the wall
- [ ] Shape and radius of the rounded pillars
- [ ] Placement of the scuppers/water feature
- [ ] Layout of the pavers around the pool (he literally hand drew the pattern)
- [ ] Placement of our pool fence
- [ ] Placement of our cafe light polls and where the lights would fall
- [ ] Placement of the gas line for our removable fire table
- [ ] Layout of our front landscaping

Check out some of the screenshots of the 3D Model he created. If you're doing a backyard remodel, do yourself a favor and hire Phil and his team!

BRAVO to the team at Artistic Alloys & Design! My family and I are so happy with the design of our Range Hood!

After searching around the Los Angeles area for a range hood I was not satisfied with the price and time it would take to build a range hood. I found Artistic Alloys and Design on yelp and spoke to Scott the same day. He assured me it would get done at my price point and in the time I needed! I showed him the idea of the hood and he and his team did the rest! I have very low ceilings in my kitchen which required a custom range hood. Scott walked me through all the requirement details. I sent him photos and measurements of the kitchen and within 48 hours he drew up a sketch! He replied to every text message I sent!

The range hood came to my door perfectly wrapped and ready to go! It is perfect and hangs magnificently in my kitchen as the centerpiece!

I cannot thank Artistic Alloys & Design any more! I highly suggest using this company for your home or business needs!

You've gained a customer for life! Thank you!

Chris and his team did an amazing job on our PebbleTec repair. Quality work, excellent communication and reasonable prices!  Highly recommend these guys!!

This is a FACT I can and will screanshot our texts

This guy Eddie Foster Jr. Is in NO way a honest contractor or businessman

HE DOES NOT DESERVE YOUR HONEST MONEY

In NO way clear communication inFACT

this joker shows up at my house and measured the project. we spoke and he refused to listen to the man to hire him he knew best was the attitude and body language he displayed to me so I shook his hand and said thank you and I look forward to his quote.

So a day later I get a text from Eddie saying:

Labor and material other than what you are supplying is $11,500 and whatever cost of the permit from city to be determined...

So if this idiot would have even listened to the potential customers request he would be a Half of a business man
And as you can see from his short text quote with no break down of cost or anything

So I texted Eddie asking what a
Creative engineering officidonado
Would have the nerve to get a $11500 job by shitty text and not email with a proper letter head and price breakdown

I say this guy is only a CROOK
and a screaming J O K E

Rusty and his team provided our family a beautiful outdoor living space, as well as, a beautiful front yard. The design and implementation was easy to follow.  We have an outdoor kitchen, including a pergola and turf for our pupping to run around in.  We also have beautiful landscaping, including trees, cacti, boulders, and a river rock.  They were easy to work with and followed through with everything discussed.  We recommend this team!

I purchased my home November 2021 and Sonoran newly remodeled/resurfaced the pool before I purchased it. Within a month of owning the home a pool leak was discovered coming from the pool light, and skimmer throat seal. I contacted Sonoran Water Custom Pools and Spa and was told because I am a new owner that the warranty is not transferrable. I thought to myself okay that's weird that they don't stand behind their service. So I went ahead and spent over $1000 to drain the pool and fix the leaks. Additionally it was recommended that I fix the foundation bellow my pool pump because the pump was placed over unstable ground.
Now 5 months later another water leak is discovered. This time the tile is found to be cracked leading to the pool steps. Why is the pool that is newly resurfaced already having cracks in the tile and pebble tec? Both my leak detection professional and pool maintenance person were surprised that this is happening so soon after the pool was resurfaced. The only logical answer as to why is that the pool company didn't fix all the problems under and around the pool before it was resurfaced.
I have reached out the Sonoran about these problems and haven't received a call back. If they are a reputable pool company they should care about the quality of their work and stand behind their services. I am afraid what other leaks and cracks this pool will have in the future because in less than 6 months I have had 3 sources of leaks. I do not recommend anyone uses this company until they start taking responsability for the services they provide.

We love our pool, it turned out exactly as we had hoped for. The construction delays are unfortunately the new reality and no reflection on the builder, so patience is required! The team at Desert Tropics was great to work with, and Robin took the time to design the pool the way we wanted. Truly very happy with this company and the end result!
