Why Glendale Homeowners Choose Caribbean Pools
We Know Glendale’s Build Conditions
Glendale’s neighborhoods span from the established central areas near downtown to the master-planned communities along the Arrowhead corridor and north toward the Loop 101. HOA requirements, lot access, and soil conditions vary considerably. We’ve built pools across Glendale for decades and factor local conditions into every design and quote — no surprises after excavation begins.
ROC-Licensed, Fully Permitted Every Time
Caribbean Pools is licensed by the Arizona Registrar of Contractors (ROC #325789 B-04). We pull every permit ourselves — pool, fencing, electrical, and gas if applicable. We handle all City of Glendale inspector coordination from submittal through final sign-off. Your pool is built legally, by the book, every time.
Line-Item Pricing — No Package Guessing
We don’t sell packages. Every pool is priced from a detailed line-item sheet so you pay for exactly what you want and nothing you don’t. Your quote shows every item individually: pool shell, interior finish, decking, water features, equipment, and permit fees. No hidden charges, no upgrade surprises mid-build.
One Team, Start to Finish
From your first design meeting through equipment commissioning and your final walkthrough, you work with the same Caribbean Pools team. Your salesperson stays involved. Your project manager stays reachable. That continuity makes the difference.

The Glendale Pool Building Process — What to Expect
1. Free Design Consultation
We meet at your home, walk your yard, and talk through goals and budget. No pressure, no commitment. You’ll leave with a clear sense of what’s possible and an honest cost framework. Most consultations take 60–90 minutes.
2. Design + Quote
We produce a custom design and a detailed line-item quote with every option priced individually. You see exactly what you’re paying for. Revisions are free until you’re satisfied.
3. Contract + Permit Submittal
Once you sign, we collect a 30% down payment and immediately submit for permits. The City of Glendale permit process typically takes 3–5 weeks. We handle every application, inspector coordination, and fee — permit costs passed through at cost, no markup.
4. Excavation + Steel
We stake the pool footprint, excavate the shell, and set the rebar cage. Inspection follows before the next step begins.
5. Shotcrete
The structural concrete shell is applied over the rebar framework. After shotcrete, the pool shape is fixed. The structure carries a lifetime warranty.
6. Plumbing, Electrical, Equipment
All plumbing lines, conduit, equipment pad, automation wiring, and gas lines (if applicable) are installed and rough-in inspected before anything is covered.
7. Hardscape + Decking
Coping, travertine or pavers, water features, fencing, and any outdoor living features are completed. The backyard takes shape at this stage.
8. Interior Finish, Fill, Final Inspection
Plaster or pebble finish is applied, the pool is filled, equipment commissioned, water chemistry balanced, and we walk you through every aspect of operation. City final inspection signs off your permit, and the pool is yours.
Total timeline: typically 3–5 months from contract signing to completion in Glendale.

Caribbean Pools installs Hayward equipment on every build — no exceptions. We don’t install Pentair, Jandy, or off-brand alternatives.
- Pumps: Hayward TriStar Variable Speed (VS 900 or VS 950)
