Renovations Built for Boulder-Set Properties and Wide-Open Lots
Verified Reviews from Homeowners We’ve Worked With
- Salten pools are awesome! Let me tell you why. We had a handful of companies come to our home when we realized the pool was not refilling itself although … More we had the equipment to do it. Shannon, Carlos and Justin came out and knew exactly what needed to be done to resolve the issue and at a reasonable price. They were also very neat and clean when digging, removing pavers to replace piping. Other pool companies were only giving us short term solutions and at outrageous prices. The Salten team are the one’s to call for all your pool needs.
- We’ve had a great experience with Salten Pools for our pool maintenance. We have been using them a little over a year and they have kept our pool clean … More and well maintained year round. Weekly maintenance has kept our pool clean and clear and have had no issues with our service. Communication with the company has been great. We highly recommend Salten Pools for anyone looking for pool maintenance and repair.
- I cannot say enough good things about Salten Pools! Their technician was awesome. After the monsoon my pool was a full of debris and started to turn green. … More They were able to clean it up and fix my filter. They were on time for the appointment and completed the job quickly while still getting everything done. I highly recommend Salten Pools for anyone in need of pool cleaning services!
Our Remodel Capabilities on Desert Properties
Salten Pools renovates pools built to work with the natural terrain found throughout Carefree, tucked among boulders or framed around a mountain view, without disrupting the setting the original design was built around.
Negative-Edge and View Repairs
Pools designed to blend into a desert or mountain view get updated plumbing without disrupting the sightline they were originally built around.
Natural Stone Integration
We work carefully around existing boulders and rock formations during resurfacing and equipment upgrades.
Desert-Grade Resurfacing
Full sun exposure on open lots accelerates plaster wear, so we resurface with pebble or quartz finishes suited to that level of UV.
Water Feature and Spa Renovation
Raised spas, spillways, and rock waterfalls get rebuilt plumbing and controls while we preserve the original design intent.
Remote Equipment and Automation
For owners who split time elsewhere part of the year, we install automation that allows remote monitoring and control.
Why Owners Here Choose to Remodel Their Pools
A pool on a property like this was rarely an afterthought. It was usually sited as part of the home’s original architectural plan, and a remodel should respect that intent.
Preserves the Original Design Intent
We start every project by understanding what the original builder was going for, so the work fits the terrain instead of fighting it.
Plans for Seasonal Ownership
Many of these properties sit empty part of the year. Durable finishes and low-maintenance equipment matter more here than in a full-time residence.
Matches the Property’s Actual Value
High-value homes generally support more than a basic resurfacing job, full water feature rebuilds and premium finishes included where it makes sense.
Protects Natural Hardscape During Updates
Boulder formations and native landscaping can’t be replaced if damaged, so we plan equipment access and staging carefully around them.
Keeps Maintenance Requirements Low
Finishes and automation chosen for extended UV exposure hold up longer without constant attention while the home sits unoccupied.
Experience With Desert Terrain
Our team has handled boulder-integrated and view-oriented pool work around Carefree for years.
Designs Shaped by Your Property
We design around the home’s architecture, the lot’s natural features, and how the owners actually use the space.
Every Remodel, Fully Managed
Whether the scope is a targeted resurfacing job or a full water feature overhaul, we manage design and execution under one project.
Equipment Rated for the Sun
Given the sun exposure typical of an open desert lot, we default to finish and equipment options rated for extended UV and heat.
The Stages of a Full Pool Remodel
1. Site Assessment
We walk the property, evaluate the pool’s relationship to the surrounding terrain, and assess the shell, finish, and equipment.
2. Design and Planning
We develop a plan that respects the pool’s original design intent while addressing what’s failed or fallen behind current standards.
3. Execution and Revitalization
Our crew works carefully around existing natural hardscape and landscaping throughout the project.
4. Final Inspection
We review the completed work together and confirm equipment, automation, and water chemistry before we call it done.
Make Your Older Pool Feel Right at Home Again
Craftsmanship That Matches the Original Build
Quality here means matching the craftsmanship that went into the property’s original design. Our care around natural rock formations and custom water features has made us a trusted choice for desert estate owners.
Modernize Your Pool Without Losing Its Character
You don’t have to tear out a pool you love just because it’s showing its age. We’ll assess what can stay, what needs attention, and where the right updates can make your pool easier to enjoy, more efficient, and a better fit for your home.
