Had a great experience with Build Your Own Pool out of Mesa Az. They helped me with all the subs and helped create my design for the permits and for the subs to use. I did have some doubts about going through build your own pool versus a local pool builder, however after some of my ridiculous quotes from local pool builders (like 30-40k higher than we built it for) and talking to several homeowners that also used build your own pool I decided to go for it. Now I have subbed out for homes we have remodeled and a few flips so I might have been more comfortable through the process than others might, but I think if you need more help they'd be there for you. I worked a lot with Ryan for the plans at the beginning and then with John Green who we also ordered the equipment through. John was extremely helpful and did not get annoyed with my calls or emails on my many questions. From breaking ground to completion it took about 5 months. The pool builders which we talked to were about 10-12 months out and basically said we wouldn't have the pool until December or January when we were getting bids. We finished just in time for the summer and have already used it a lot. I highly recommend BYOP and am extremely satisfied with my pool! read more

Build Your Own Pool - Finished pool. - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Still a lot of work to be done but we finally have a pool. Starting from day 1 of excavation we managed to have the pool built and completed within 2 and a half months. Takes time and effort but worth it in the end. Every question was always answered, and all the subs were easy to work with. Looking forward to having the rest of the yard finished. Please remember that you are the GC. Ive seen reviews like the one before where they pool light was too short. This is stuff you are responsible for noticing, as a GC you should know how long your light run is and how long of a light cord you need. I worked with John and he was great, we even had issues with a drain and he had a rep come out immediately and resolve the issue. I worked with Roy during the design stage and I made several changes over and over to the design and it never took Roy more than 24 hours to make changes or respond to questions. Remember this is your project and you are responsible for running the show, reviewing drawings, equipment lists, etc. read more

Poor quality and attention to details. An error in hard scape qualities that the contractor based his bid on caused a $2,600 change order. When I asked them to help with a some portion of this cost I was told it was my responsibility to verify their work. They also tried to tell me I gave them the measurements, which I did not. There were other error that cost me money, but this was the most significant. I signed up for their so called "Premium" service agreement. There are other companies offering a higher level of assistance that I recommend you consider before deciding. Good luck building your own pool as a first timer. read more

If you're interested in having a pool built, this IS the only company to hire! YOU are the contractor, you must be involved throughout the process so please keep in mind you must check emails daily, place calls to the companies you want to work with & it's a great learning process along the way! I can't believe just how helpful our guy Roy was, we described what we wanted in the drawing & he did exactly what we described, however Roy took it one step further and offered a second drawing (which we chose) of a completely different pool plan & we absolutely loved his recommendation! Roy was available every time we needed him, John was also extremely helpful too! I know, had we gone with another pool builder, our pool would have been out of our price range but thanks to BYOP & Wholesale Pool Equipment, we stayed very close to our original budget! Now that the summers here, we will stay cooler than last summer & it's all because this company cares about their customers! From the bottom of our hearts, we can't thank you enough for providing the names & numbers of the top companies in our area to get the pool built on time & very close to our budget! I highly recommend Roy!! I tried to put the photo with the review but it ended up in the group photo page. We are picture "103" of 109 photos.... read more

We had a wonderful experience from beginning to end with BYOP! We were a little skeptical in the beginning (especially after getting multiple bids with pool builders that were so high) - but we have ended up saving literally THOUSANDS of dollars partnering with BYOP. Doug was a pleasure to work with and is VERY knowledgeable every step of the way! BYOP is the only way to go! We would do it again, and again and highly recommend using them. It is such a big investment and BYOP exceeded our expectations. Thank you BYOP!! read more

Build Your Own Pool - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This is the only way to build a pool. I received bids from Shasta, Presidential and Cal Pools before calling BYOP. That gave me a ballpark cost and also provided me with a professionally done design of what we wanted. I took the design to Ryan with BYOP and he used that as a template to create my final pool layout and plans. I paid their fee ($1995) and almost immediately got a huge list of contractor bids for every phase of the project. All I had to do was pick one for each phase, call and schedule. BYOP gave me a "timeline" for the project so I knew what order to schedule the phases. They also gave me a packet with everything I needed for my permits. I walked into the city permit office and had zero issues getting my permit. When I began scheduling contractors it was obvious they were all familiar with the BYOP process and were very helpful, making sure I hadn't missed any details. I only had a couple of questions for Ryan but he answered calls and texts immediately. The equipment bid from their Wholesale Pool Equipment side was also the cheapest I could find anywhere. From the first phase (existing yard demo) to swimming was about 10 weeks. Maybe a bit longer than having a pool company do it for you but it was so easy it was worth the wait. We did our entire backyard with top of the line equipment, finishes and landscaping and paid about $45,000 when it was all said and done. Doing the math the same job from a pool company would've easily cost $65,000 or more. If you're skeptical, I get it, I was too. Now that I've taken the leap I am so glad I did. And no, I was not paid for this review! Feel free to message me if you have questions! read more

These guys are awesome!! Ryan P and team were amazing in helping us build our pool. They answered everyone of our questions about the process and we had a pool in exactly 33 days. I was very nervous about doing something like this ( Building my own pool) but these guys walked us thru the process answered all of our questions..... the biggest incentive to using these guys was the savings.... we saved A TON of money by using them VS a pool company. Approx 40 to 45% less in costs. ( no joke). I have already referred them to 2 different friends who also built their pool! read more

This is the only way to go when considering an owner build pool. Absolutely the best investment I made for this type of project. Todd is incredible - his advice, suggestions, and foresight is unprecedented. You save a ton of money going about this on your own, and you do have a partner in the project - BYOP. I called/emailed quite often for questions, and received quality and cost-saving advice throughout the ENTIRE process, not just the initial setup. You will not be disappointed, building a pool can be challenging, daunting, and overwhelming but these guys know how to make it go smooth and put your concerns at ease. 10 stars if Yelp could let me. read more

This is the third pool we have built. We are in the construction industry and we thought the service provided by BYOP would make the process a little easier. The BYOP representative convinced us we would be best served by paying $ 2,500 for the premier service. Additionally we paid a $1,000 to have them design a ramada. Our package which was supposed to include a complete backyard design, email & phone support as well as 3D drawings. Lets start by saying the 3D drawings were not to scale and somewhat rudimentary. Essentially this is sorta cool but useless. We never received backyard planning designs. If our rep is feeling ambitious it takes about a week for him to email or call us back. As far as our pool plan, we received a plan that we would have gotten with the basic package. (When you look at their packages online, notice line 11 on the preferred package is the same as line 4 on the basic package) The pool plan was sent to us with the wrong address, which we requested to our rep to please change. We have never received a set of plans with the correct address. This has resulted in our telling our subcontractors offices that the address is incorrect. However the subcontractors seemingly just give their personnel the plan with the incorrect address, leading to my fielding multiple phone calls asking where we live. It actually led to one sub calling me questioning, "Why do you need us if you already have a pool?" To which I replied, "You are in someone else's backyard and that you should probably leave sooner rather than later." I am curious how many subcontractors went into that backyard and how heavy a sleepers those people are. Another issue was that we requested our pools structural engineering so that we could seek bids outside of the contractors that BYOP sent our plans to. We were told we could not have them. Several of the quoting contractors contacted us and BYOP requesting them and were also told that they can't have them. So our quotes were complete with caveats and contingencies. We were told that our plans and engineering were submitted to the city and that we should receive a permit in a few weeks. Two weeks later we contacted the city and were told that nothing had been submitted and that they had no record of our address in the system at the time. We contacted our rep who told us he doesn't handle that part so he can't say for sure what was going on. The next week we learned our plans had been submitted a week later than what we were told initially. We scheduled excavation and requested our in floor pool design. When the excavator had finished we tried to schedule a plumber who said they needed the in floor design which we had been waiting weeks for. When I pressed our rep for the in floor design I received an email from the in floor designer with a plan for a residence in Mesa (We live in Peoria) for people with the same last name. We are building a square pool and they sent a kidney shaped pool. I had to point out to my rep that this was not my pool. So you can see how much attention to detail and customer service you get with the premier package. Three days later we received an in floor design that was correct. At this point I was still requesting the design for our ramada, which they sent me a few days later (seven weeks in).The design and engineering were nothing remotely like what we requested or the 3D rendering BYOP had sent us prior. We had sent pictures of exactly what we were looking for which the rendering matched. We had been asking our rep should we be meeting with anyone to discuss the design, to which he answered no they knew what we wanted. "We have a picture." I was a little more than disconcerted that the premium service. Keeping score we had gotten a pool plan with an incorrect address, no landscape design, an in floor plan for a pool in Mesa and a ramada that looked nothing remotely like what we asked for or their own 3D rendering. Our rep took the tact of blaming literally everyone else for all of these errors. He told us that the way that BYOP had been restructured he had almost zero ability to resolve our issues. I am an extremely patient person so I politely asked our rep to redesign the ramada and let me know how soon we could get a correct drawing. I assured him that I understood how busy construction was and that I get it these things happen. Three weeks later my wife contacted our rep who hadn't been responding to our calls or emails. He responded that we were the cause of the delay and since we didn't accept what they sent us initially we would need to pay quite a bit more money. My wife told him this was unacceptable. She asked him why this wasn't brought up three weeks prior? He told her, "you are in construction why didn't you just handle this yourselves." My wife asked to speak to his supervisor and he hung up the phone on her. Probably go with the basic package and cross you fingers. Good luck. read more

Just finished up our pool build with the help of BYOP and we are very pleased. After meeting with 7 different pool builders we were shocked by the price quotes we received. Then we were turned on to BYOP from friends of friends that just had completed their project. We were very skeptical as neither my wife nor I have any background in construction or even project management. But after talking it over with someone that had just completed their pool and was happy we decided to give it a go. With the help of BYOP throughout the process, we made it through and felt confident during each phase of the project. Now don't get me wrong, we were very nervous on the first couple of days of excavation, but every trade that BYOP referred us to was very professional and did an excellent job. Overall we saved money and still upgraded our project in several areas. Thank you BYOP for the support and we are happy to our pool done and ready for the 2019 summer season! read more

We had a very good experience with BYOP. The pool was completed in just under 6 weeks.(we made a ton of changes during the job). Every job was done with great quality and speed. I've heard of other people using name brand pool company and having such a hard time dealing with them. BYOP made every step easy. Overall we saved about 1/4 the cost if we would have hired another company. I would not hesitate using them in the future. I will make sure to tell my friends and family about our positive experience. If you get a grotto, makes sure to use Oasis Images. Norm did an incredible job. CRAZY AWESOME grotto. It is the center piece of our pool. Norm is worth the wait. (I was told he son is great also). To be honest, every job was really good. Our pool has over-exceeded our expectations. read more

Just passed final inspection and will be filling the pool in the morning. Great experience. I cant thank Todd and the guys at BYOP enough. Todd gave me a guess on what he thought the all in cost would be and the pool came in literally 40% less than all my quotes. It was a bit of work on my end but not rocket science. I literally finished in 21 days from the day we started the dig. Most of the subs were really friendly. I highly recommend these guys! read more

BYOP was a great decision we made! The process was simple and fun being able to work with each company we hand chose to do the work. Roy and John were always willing to help when we had questions. We truly believe we are getting so much more for our money than if we built through a standard pool company. We have so many neighbors interested in the progress and will most likely use BYOP for their own upcoming pool projects. Thank you BYOP for helping us built a beautiful pool! read more

I am really disappointed with the lack of responsiveness and challenges connecting with representatives from this company. I've been trying for 3 weeks to coordinate someone to come and firm up a bid so that we can begin the process. I've been working? (seems like an overly generous word) with Roy - and have not had any progress since my initial inquiry. I was referred by a previous customer and have really taken back by the lack of effort or care given to my remodel. read more

This was recommended to us by several people. so far, it has been amazing and we are so impressed. we are going to have a huge pool, 90k pool for about 40k! read more

We started a Build Your Own Pool in October. Initial sales and consultation was great. Ongoing consultation has been good also. For a $3k fee, BYOP measures everything; provides a design spec; gives you a list of equipment to purchase from their sister company, Wholesale Pool Equipment; recommends subcontractors and helps with any questions/issues. Excavation started in November, we were told if all goes well, two months total so we ordered equipment in November, $14k worth, seemed like a good deal at the time. Plumbing and rebar in December. Gunite was backed up due to heavy demand, January. Then we had an ice storm in TX, which wreaked havoc on many existing pools and new pool construction. Equipment, construction materials became scarce and expensive. Tile, coping took about a week, however it took a month to schedule. Same subcontractor did the deck, which took over a month to schedule. Long story short, electric work was done in June and the electrician, recommended by BYOP, went to install pool lights and one needed a longer cord. We called Wholesale Pool Equipment and were happy to hear they can exchange the light for same model with 150' power cord, for difference in price, and they had four in stock. The next day, John, the head of sales at Wholesale Pool Equipment, told us, sorry, we can't exchange the light because 1) the box had been opened, and 2) it was purchased more than 60 days ago. So, now we're stuck with a $700 paper weight :( read more

I have not built my new pool yet but just starting out I went in to talk to Todd and he was so helpful, it was really appreciated, and John in The Wholesale store was very nice as well, when I build my next pool I will use these guys for sure read more

After getting quoted over $60k to build our pool with a local pool company we started looking for other options. BYOP saved us a ton of money! Ryan and John are fantastic! Ryan drew up our dream pool and answered our numerous questions via email and phone throughout the process. We felt very supported! our neighbors went through a traditional pool company and we used all the same contractors but our pool was done way faster. Couldn't recommend byop enough! read more

Great experience working with Todd to help design the pool. All the contractors that bid our job were very helpful and it was super easy because they were there if I had any questions. I highly recommend building your own pool with them. Pool came out exactly as we wanted and we built a pool for $19,000 that a pool contractor estimated the same pool would cost $27,000 if we went the traditional route and had pool company build. read more

These guys are really GREAT!! Put in a new Pool Filter for me, at a great price! Did other work and took the time to show me and my son all of it and how to use and maintain it all.. Saved me a ton of $$$ Thanks so much!! read more

Took the step of building my own pool, worked with Todd and count be more happier with the outcome. I saved thousands of $$ in the process.

If you can find it, and I suggest you do, They have the best prices in town! This place really can save you thousands. Wholesale pool equipment weather you need just a motor or a whole system replaced I couldn't find lower prices! When I needed parts I knew it would cost me but they beat Leslies and A&M Corsons. John the counter man is extremely knowledgeable and help me fix my pump. GREAT JOB GUYS! read more

I stopped here this morning to get pool sand and o-rings for my pool. The place was very clean and organized and the staff was very friendly. I wish I would have known about this place years ago when I bought my house in 2007, it is about 5 mins. away. This place is off the beaten path by worth looking for, the prices are good. read more

We've had a great experience with BYOP. We were hesitant initially because we didn't know the 1st thing about building a pool but Ryan was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. We were able to save thousands on our pool. We are so glad we chose BYOP! Thank you!! read more

Thank you for our amazing new pool. You saved me thousands of dollars and getting it done in 3 weeks was a bonus. read more

My wife and I were excited to use build your own pool due to the many positive reviews. We bought the best premier plan. Unfortunately we didn't have a good experience. First, we were never contacted after we bought out plan and had to make many calls to get out pool plan. We never received the 3D pool plan as stated online for the premier package and never received the help we needed to build our pool. Thankfully we had a friend who built his own pool that walked us through the process. The biggest issue we had was that they had the wrong dimensions on our pool plan. This caused several issues as our pool was bigger than what the plan had. We had to have the contractors rebid after the excavation due to the difference. We would have built a smaller pool due to the increased price after the accurate dimensions were given but it was too late because the pool was already dug. This caused a huge issue when we had the inspector come because the permit information they submitted was incorrect. We had to pay additional money to revise the permit and had to go three different times to fix. Overall, this was a terrible experience and caused many more headaches than benefits. We would not recommend build your own pools. read more

Ordered 2 energy efficient variable speed Hayward pool pumps on a Friday and picked them up on Tuesday since I live in the general area. The sales force is super and the pricing is great. I live a block away from another pool supply chain in the valley but they were quite a few hundred dollars more than B.Y.O.P for the exact thing. Online or in there showroom they can't be beat. I will be using B.Y.O.P all the time now. Installed the main variable speed pump and the water feature pump in a couple of hours and they work great. Can't wait for the electricity savings to start adding up. Thanks B.Y.O.P read more

I had the pleasure of working with John and he was not only prompt in responding to my questions but he was very knowledgable and easy to work with. Their pricing was better than anybody else and I was in a bit of a time crunch and he took care of everything for me. Delivery went very smooth and everything looks great. I would highly recommend them to everybody! Thanks guys! read more
