Met with Tony in my home a few weeks ago and we were blown away. We received several in home quotes and Tony stood out among them all. He was prompt, professional and best of all friendly. We never felt like we were being “sold to” which was key. He gave us so much detail and helped guide us thru the unknown. It was an easy choice to go with Dolphin and it was primarily because of Tony.

We had Dolphin install and build our first pool during the summer of 2023. Our salesman, Joe, was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable and designed our pool to our satisfaction. One year later, Joe is helpful with answering questions . Trevor, our building superintendent, was great as well and communicated details of the pool building process. Tania was great at communicating next steps in the pool build. Approximately one year later, Dolphin has been great on answering or fixing any concerns. Maria has been outstanding and patient and quick to address our concerns. She’s been fantastic. If I ever were to build another pool or recommend (my next door neighbor built his pool with Dolphin), I would go with or recommend Dolphin Pools.

This is our 2nd Dolphin pool, we wont use anyone else! This last pool, Jake Wozniak and the Dolphin team were with us every step and they did a great job! I would hear how some folks in the neighborhood felt left out with their builders but we didn’t feel this way with Dolphin. We knew what was happening and when. On the rare occasion, we had some issues, Jake was quick to respond and get us the answers or help we needed.
Dolphin Pools transformed our backyard into an oasis! We knew the steep slope and rocky terrain were going to be difficult to contend with, but Dolphin was always right there with a solution. Everyone, from the incredible office staff to the field supervisors, was friendly and communicative. Anyone who has ever undertaken an overwhelming construction job will tell you communication is key!

On that note, our family would like to extend a huge "Thank you!" To Jake Wozniak. His professionalism and courtesy were second to none. While Jake was not our direct field super, he was our point of contact when unexpected challenges arose. He was patient, and he made sure that our final product was beautiful and functional. We also want to give an extended shout out to Jonathan, the mason/artisan who crafted our massive retaining wall. He was always thinking ahead to what we would need after the project was finished. His insights and suggestions turned a necessary element into an aesthetically pleasing attraction. It is no surprise that Jake and Jonathan have a great working relationship.

Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank all of the wonderful office and construction staff who helped turn our vision into a reality. Joe, Trevor, Brenda, Gloria, Tania, Katie, Maria, Gina, and Jake: Thank you for all of your tireless efforts! This project was our unattainable dream, and you each played a part in bringing it to life. Your combined talents transformed our yard, and our lives, in less than six months time. Thank you! It was a pleasure working with each and every one of you.

Our first pool building with Dolphin Pools was so spectacular that I want them to build another one in my second home! From start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional.

The process began with an initial consultation where their team provided valuable insights and suggestions, helping to shape our ideas into a practical and beautiful design.
Throughout the project, the team maintained excellent communication. They kept me informed about each stage of the construction process and were always available to answer my questions. Their professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident in every interaction.
The construction phase was executed flawlessly. The team adhered to the timeline and managed the project with precision and care. I was impressed with their attention to detail and the quality of workmanship. The site was always clean and organized, and the crew was respectful and courteous.
The final result exceeded my expectations and is stunning. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the materials used are of the highest quality. The landscaping around the pool was also beautifully done, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.

Even after the pool was completed, Dolphin Pools continued to provide outstanding service. They offered a thorough orientation on pool maintenance and have been responsive to any follow-up questions. It’s clear that they stand behind their work and are committed to ensuring their customers are completely satisfied.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dolphin Pools to anyone considering building a pool. Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to excellence are truly unmatched.

Our home is now listed for sale and I look forward to building another pool with Dolphin Pools!

At Dolphin Pools, we know building or remodeling a pool is a major decision — and our team is here to make the process simple, transparent, and stress-free. Below are answers to the questions we hear most from Arizona homeowners.

How much does a custom pool cost in Phoenix?

Most custom pools in the Phoenix area range from $55,000 to $120,000+, depending on the size, features, materials, and site conditions. We offer free estimates and multiple pool packages to fit your goals and budget.

Do you offer pool remodeling and renovations?

Yes. We specialize in pool renovations — from replastering and resurfacing to complete layout redesigns, tile upgrades, and equipment replacement. If your pool looks dated or needs structural repair, we can bring it back to life.

What’s included in your pool packages?

Our Paradise Pool Packages are designed to fit a wide range of budgets and backyard visions. Options include:

  • Paradise Essentials – A quality entry-level package with everything you need to enjoy a custom-built pool.
  • Paradise Plus – Adds upgraded features like custom lighting, decking, and optional spa integration.
  • Ultimate Paradise – Includes high-end finishes, automation, and expanded design flexibility.
  • Paradise Plunge – A compact design perfect for smaller yards or tighter footprints.
  • Complete Paradise Package – Our all-inclusive option that blends luxury pool construction with full outdoor living and landscaping elements.

Each package includes core construction (excavation, steel, plumbing, shotcrete, plaster), energy-efficient equipment, and your choice of finishes, with customization available at every level.

How long does it take to build a pool?

On average, pool construction takes 8 to 12 weeks, depending on the project scope and permitting timeline. Weather, design complexity, and material choices can also affect the build schedule.

Do I need permits to build a pool in Phoenix or Scottsdale?

Yes. All cities in the Phoenix metro area — including Scottsdale, Gilbert, and Queen Creek — require building permits for inground pools. We handle all permitting and inspection coordination for you.

Can you design my entire backyard?

Absolutely. We offer full-service outdoor living design, including landscaping, patios, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, fire pits, and lighting. You’ll work with our design team to create a cohesive and functional backyard layout.

What types of pools do you build?

We build custom gunite (concrete) pools of all shapes and styles — geometric, freeform, modern, lagoon, and more. Every pool is designed to match your space, lifestyle, and preferences.

Do you offer landscaping services with pool construction?

Yes. We’re one of the few Phoenix-area builders that offers in-house landscaping, allowing for a seamless transition from pool to patio to plantings. This creates a unified design and saves time and cost.

What areas do you serve?

We serve homeowners throughout the Valley, including Phoenix, Scottsdale, Gilbert, San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, and Cave Creek.

Do you offer pool financing?

Yes. We offer multiple pool financing options, including low monthly payments and 0% promotional rates for qualified buyers. Our team can walk you through the best plan for your needs.
