His breadth of knowledge about the industry and his craft along with his genuine, old fashioned, good business practices are, unfortunately, now a bit of a rare find these days. He is responsive, shows up when promised, is more than fare with his prices, does not oversell or try to talk his clients into more work that is possibly not necessary. He listens to what is being asked for and respectfully guides his clients to what might be a better fit for their yard, their budget, their expectations, etc. This is an honest, hardworking small business that larger companies cannot compete with for customer service excellence. I simply cannot say enough positive things about this pleasure to work with company and an owner with integrity.

We recently hired Cactus Pools and Remodeling for a pebble tec repair at our home in Scottsdale,…read moreand we couldn't be more pleased with the results. The original pebble tec around the stairs had been cracking and breaking away into the pool, and it was in serious need of repair. Giovanni did an outstanding job matching the original pebble tec as closely as possible, making the repair blend seamlessly with the existing finish. His attention to detail was impressive. As an added touch, he incorporated a subtle turtle design into the pebble tec on the stairs, which turned out beautifully and added a unique, custom element to our pool. The workmanship, professionalism, and care throughout the project truly stood out. We are extremely happy with this company and will definitely be calling Gio again when we're ready to resurface the pool in the future. Highly recommend.

Debated between a 3 or 4 and gave them 4 because the work itself was good. The customer service,…read morehowever, was not a great fit for us. Pool work done Mar-April 2026. I'm not sure if they hide other reviews or if we're the first to have issues, but we chose them from Yelp and they were the lowest price by far out of other bids. We originally wanted a drain and clean, but they suggested a full remodel, when we asked why they said they saw some exposed rebar (first red flag: there was never any exposed rebar). But we agreed to a remodel and the beginning stages were OK. Jovanny offered a discount on building a sun shelf in our pool and he said the discount was to gain our business, but then he used that discount to sort of complain about the budget? And tried to make a smaller sun shelf, so we had to pay 2K extra to get what we wanted. Lots of pointing fingers and "I didn't say that" or "well technically we talked about this.." instead of wanting to give us good customer service. I understand making money is necessary as a business, but we didn't ask for a discount; we shared our goal price and a discount was offered and I guess we didn't realize that came with work that reflected that discount. In writing I asked if a pool remodel came with a drain and refill, he said yes it came with that, which I thought included starting up the pool with chemicals, but I guess it just means using our own hose to refill the pool Wouldn't include a chemical startup so we found another company to do that for us. Overall a frustrating customer experience side but the pool itself looks good and took 2 weeks longer than we were told. Be sure to get every detail in writing especially designs and be prepared to mainly text or email (wouldn't answer many phone calls)

After a few years, the pebble colors tend to fade out due to hard water deposits. After the Acid Wash I could see the pebbles looking colorful and shiny again. Aqua Harmony was great from the initial call to schedule, and workmen were right on time (for draining yesterday) and the acid cleaning today. The technician that did the cleaning today was Zack. He is a very polite individual and consciences about his work. He made sure I was happy with everything before he packed up his equipment. Then I called Joe in the office to inquire about how I am supposed to pay. Joe was very helpful during the initial call to get the work scheduled. And he was very helpful today, and asked me more than a couple of times if I was happy with all of the work. They truly want to do a good job and want to make sure the customers are happy. The next time I need to acid wash, or need any equipment repairs, I won't hesitate to call them for help. I am very happy with their work and with the quality of their employees. And I would gladly recommend them to any family and friends that need any work done on their pool.

I have or had 2 properties that were serviced by Desert Art Pools and they are a HUGE disappointment! I had a repair requested that was never completed and when I called back I was told it wasn't the same area leaking. Which is incorrect, the same area is still leaking,. They say they provide a complete service report and the initial leak and subsequent leaks were not reported. We were disappointed earlier this year with conflicting pricing quotes and services provided. However we did like our maintenance tech and decided to give them another chance. Fast forward - While away attending to personal business our electric heater was mistakenly turned on by the maintenance tech and left running for 2 weeks . I received a huge bill of $1000 from APS and when I called APS they pinpointed the source of the excessive use of energy to the spa running so long approx 360 continuous hours. APS was able to tell us the exact date and time it was turned on ( yes the time and date Desert Art Pools came out to service our pool). We can see a mistake happening the first week, but on the next visit the following week, it should have been turned off or at least a phone call to let us know it was on, and ask how to shut it off if he didn't know. But at the end of week 2, the maintenance tech did call and asked if I could turn the pump off remotely. I can turn off the pump remotely. But not the spa. Which I turned off myself the next day upon my return. I checked the spa water temp and the water was warm, but not hot, so here we go with another problem and we're hoping an element wasn't burned out as a result. Now,after paying the bill already, my husband and I brought this issue to the owner. His immediate response was that tech 's shouldn't turn on the spas at all. The next response is that there should have been a charge to turn on the spa. Ok, fine with that, if there was a charge, no one said there was. Im assuming he thought we wanted to have him pay the bill. We weren't asking for $1000 our normal bill would run $250- $300. We like our tech very much and are very understanding of human error. Our thoughts were to have the company provide a small credit each month to go towards the bill. He just said he was "calling it" and discontinuing service. Never gave or offered any sort credit or compromise. He blamed the victims and packed up and left and not even servicing our pool. Then his office sent invoices for payment. In addition to the bill, we are left with the the spa not heating like it had prior to the 360 hours of continuous running. And it was just installed in March of 2024! We were looking to the professional to provide guidance on what to do next, who should we call? We aren't pool heating experts, we're retirees! Randy, said that has 300 pools service and in so many words we were not worth the time and effort. I cant imagine any other business based on customer service who would have the gall to be so insulting. This company lacks management, customer relations training and good old fashioned ETHICS, and I would not recommend them to anyone. I should have given more thought to the other 1 star reviews. I know next time. I expect another "Cover Myself" response, or untruths in response to this review. But that will be just another case in point.
