Why is having a pool important to you and your family?

Having a pool is important to our family for several reasons:

  1. It serves as a great backdrop for family and friends to spend quality time together in a relaxing environment.
  2. It provides an avenue to escape the stifling Arizona summer heat.
  3. It is a fun way to stay active and get exercise.
  4. It is a beautiful addition to our backyard and provides great views from the house.
  5. It provides a place for us to unwind and escape from the stresses of day to day life.

Which features were most important to you in designing your pool?

We had a fairly extensive list of features that we wanted to incorporate into our design, but the two that we were most excited about was a baja shelf with a pergola covering and a sunken kitchen with a swim up bar and media wall.

Our designer, Trevor, really helped us to flesh out these concepts and came up with some truly unique and beautiful additions.

What advice would you offer to those just starting the pool building process?

The primary advice that I would give would be to ask lots of questions during the design process and to be open to suggestions.

We spent a lot of time corresponding with our designer and getting information on all of the options available to us. Trevor brought up lots of ideas that we had never considered and many of these new ideas ended up being some of our favorite aspects of the pool once completed.

An example of this was Trevor’s suggestion to use a darker black finish for the inside of the pool. At first we thought this was a strange idea, but we asked Trevor to show us some examples and really fell in love with the color. The end result is something that is beautiful and very unique.

Another example of this is the custom water features that Trevor was able to design into our pool such as the pergola rain sheer and the three fountain curve. We had never considered items like this when we first came to Presidential, but they give the pool much more character and we are extremely happy with how the came out.

Why did you choose Presidential Pools & Spas as your pool builder?

We chose Presidential Pools amp; Spas as our pool builder for their professionalism, design expertise and price. From day one Presidential was enthusiastic and responsive to all of our requests and inquiries

Their designer went over and above to work with us to create a design that was truly unique, functional and beautiful. He was willing to come out to our property for an extensive one-on-one meeting, create an intricate 3D model of the design and go through several rounds of modifications to help us arrive at something that we were thrilled about

Lastly, Presidental was able to do all of these things at a price that was very competitive to other quotes that we had received.

What do you like most about your pool now?

The thing that we like most about our pool now is how unique the overall design is while still maintaining functionality.

We’ve never seen a pool that looks quite like ours from the custom rain sheer to the sunken kitchen. It’s these features that make the pool such a great fit for our family and something that serves as the centerpiece of our home.

Why is having a pool important to you and your family?

Having a pool in our backyard allows us to relax and unwind on the weekends in the privacy of our own backyard. It also allows us spend time with family and friends in a relaxing enjoyable atmosphere.

Which features were most important to you in designing your pool?

Being able to meet with our sales person and talk about different features and designs and the pros and cons of each was beneficial in designing a pool which highly met our needs.

Jeff Hill 4

What advice would you offer to those just starting the pool building process?

Do your research, look at different pool companies, talk to people who have built pools in the past, and choose the company that you feel will be the best for you.

Price will always be a major consideration, however, it shouldn’t be the only factor in choosing of the company. You pay the price one time but have to live with the quality and service from the pool company for the life of your pool.

Why did you choose Presidential Pools & Spas as your pool builder?

The sales person was very knowledgeable and easy to work with.

I liked being able to go to their store front and look at the many different pool designs they had already built on their property. We were able to see many of the features that we wanted built in our pool and how they would look in real life versus just on a drawing.

What do you like most about your pool now?

The thing we like the most about her pool now is the fact that we got all the features laid out the way we wanted them because of the successful preplanning we had with our sales person. We have built pools in the past and wished we would’ve done different things but they never came up in the design layout process.

We got exactly what we wanted because of the knowledgeable sales person. We were able to discuss pros and cons of many different things and were able to get exactly what we wanted.

Why is having a pool important to you and your family?

My husband and I love to entertain, so having a pool where all the neighbors can feel comfortable to just come over and relax and allow the kids to swim is awesome.

Desree Nash 11

Which were you looking for in your pool design?

We wanted a pool that was functional for swimming laps but had a few water features for ambiance. We wanted a simple design.

Desree Nash 7

What advice would you offer to those just starting the pool building process?

Be patient. It is not a race and if you want a quality pool you will need to allow the process to happen from start to finish. Presidential Pools are the experts, so let them do their job!

Desree Nash 12

Why did you choose Presidential Pools & Spas as your pool builder?

We asked realtors, friends and went to home shows to get ideas and then we did a lot of research on equipment, textures and what works best in the desert environment. 

Once we had that done, we researched what company could offer us the most for our money and then looked at current customer reviews.  Presidential came out on top.  They were not the cheapest and not the most expensive, but for value they offered the most. We have always felt you get what you pay for. Current customer reviews played a key impact on our decision and then, of course, the sales person is key because if you do not have a connection or don’t feel like you can trust his/her word then the company will not get our business.

Desree Nash 3

What do you like most about your pool now?

I love having relaxing time around the pool with friends and family. I love looking at my backyard from my living room of kitchen, it’s so peaceful and tranquil. I love being able to walk out and take a dip anytime in these hot desert summers to cool off and then go about my day.
