Pool Remodeling, Travertine Decks and Outdoor Living in Scottsdale, AZ

In many Scottsdale neighborhoods, a pool or outdoor living project has to satisfy the house, the lot, and a design review board. Love Your Pool AZ is a licensed Arizona contractor (ROC# 329963) and has been remodeling pools and building custom outdoor spaces since 2018. We work in Scottsdale on pool remodels, deck remodels, new custom pools, and full outdoor living builds. For a free estimate, call (480) 577-3638 or email office@lypaz.com.

Architectural review is not a formality in a number of well-known Scottsdale communities. McCormick Ranch requires prior approval from its Architectural Control Committee — and often from a sub-association first — before exterior or landscape changes begin. Troon Village requires Architectural Review Committee approval for exterior and landscape work, and its standards address how pools and spas are screened from streets and natural open space. DC Ranch uses village-specific design standards and a formal review process for pool projects. We do not treat those rules as optional, and we will not pretend every Scottsdale HOA is the same. After we see your property, we can tell you what a typical submittal involves. Love Your Pool AZ handles the City of Scottsdale permits. Homeowners are responsible for obtaining HOA approval.

The work itself still has to perform in the desert. Scottsdale summers make deck surface temperature a practical issue, which is one reason homeowners often look at travertine or porcelain instead of leaving an old concrete or worn acrylic deck in place. We remodel decks and coping in travertine, porcelain, cobblestone pavers, and Kool Deck acrylic, and we can coordinate the deck with new waterline tile and an updated interior finish.

For the pool, we resurface with plaster, PebbleTec, or MicroGlass; clean calcium-crusted tile with media blasting (no drain required) or replace the tile; and repair leaks, cracks, and equipment. Hard Valley water and high evaporation show up in Scottsdale the same way they do in the rest of the metro area: as scale at the waterline, on water features, and sometimes on the finish itself. Automation, lighting, autofill, and custom water features are common upgrades when the goal is a quieter, more finished outdoor room, not just a new surface.

We also build new custom pools and complete outdoor living spaces in Scottsdale, including patio covers, pergolas, and BBQ islands or outdoor kitchens, plus turf, landscaping, and lighting. On new pool construction we can install in-floor cleaning systems. Equipment placement and screening should be planned early in communities that review those details. Work carries a 2-year workmanship warranty generally, with 5 years workmanship and 15 years material on pebble interior finish, 4 years workmanship and 7 years material on quartz plaster, and 2 years on tile and decking.

We serve all of Maricopa County plus San Tan Valley and Gold Canyon and screen each job after a conversation. Call (480) 577-3638 or email office@lypaz.com, Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

Frequently asked questions

Can you help with HOA architectural review in places such as DC Ranch, McCormick Ranch, or Troon Village?

We work in Scottsdale communities that require architectural approval before work starts. Those HOAs are not identical, so we review what your community typically asks for after we see the property. Love Your Pool AZ handles the City of Scottsdale permits. Homeowners are responsible for obtaining HOA approval.

What pool deck materials make sense in Scottsdale heat?

Travertine and porcelain are common choices because they tend to stay cooler underfoot than bare concrete. We also install cobblestone pavers and Kool Deck acrylic. The right material depends on the house, the HOA, sun exposure, and how you use the yard.

Do I need a permit for a new pool in Scottsdale?

New pool construction in Scottsdale generally requires a city building permit, and electrical work associated with a pool is also typically permitted. Many HOAs require their own approval as well.

How much does a Scottsdale pool remodel or outdoor living build cost?

A typical pool remodel in Scottsdale runs $8,000 to $20,000, depending on the size of the pool and the scope of work. A new custom pool typically runs $50,000 to $60,000, including decking. Every project gets a final written quote after a site visit.

Do you build new custom pools and outdoor kitchens in Scottsdale?

Yes. We build new custom pools and full outdoor living spaces, including patio covers, pergolas, and BBQ islands or outdoor kitchens, and we remodel existing Scottsdale pools and decks.
