Super knowledgeable about equipment. Our old pump was loud and chugging electricity. They upgraded us to a variable speed pump and automated system, and our electric bill dropped noticeably the first month.
Maricopa County, Arizona
Scottsdale pools run the full range — Old Town backyards through the newer neighborhoods up in Troon North. We've renovated across every one of those decades, and after 20+ years in this market we know what each era's builders did differently.
Scottsdale is one of the few places in the Valley where you can renovate straight through the decades. Old Town and the older neighborhoods hold pools built across multiple eras, and you can identify how different builders constructed their projects once you've seen enough of them. That history is what makes the work interesting — and sometimes what makes it more challenging, because what's under the surface depends entirely on who built it and when.
The newer areas up toward Troon North are a different job altogether. Those are closer to clean slates, but they bring their own set of challenges rather than fewer of them.
Right now we're also seeing a lot of teardowns and new builds going up on older properties, which changes what a backyard needs entirely.
What we specialize in here: shape changes, depth conversions, water feature additions, spa additions, and integrating an older-style pool into a complete backyard lifestyle rather than treating it as a standalone box of water.
Depth conversions mean exactly what they sound like — taking a deep pool and making it shallow, or taking a shallow pool and making it deeper. Custom changes to existing pools are very frequent in Scottsdale, including adding Baja shelves and similar features to pools that were never built with them.
The water in Scottsdale isn't horrible, but it does lead to a lot of scaling. That's the recurring issue we design around here.
We've been implementing technological advances to handle it — automatic descalers, enhanced water treatment systems, and alternative styles of chlorinators — rather than leaving homeowners to fight scale by hand.
Scottsdale is known for service and repair work that brings equipment into the 21st century. A lot of homeowners here are embracing pool automation and tying it into a complete home automation system. Sometimes people try to overcomplicate what should be simple, and part of our job is saying so.
Nine times out of ten, when we go into Scottsdale for a renovation, it's to add something the pool never had:
Scottsdale also gives us the chance to work with vintage designs and real history on one job, then completely modernize a yard with a new pool or a new addition on the next. There's a lot of demand for new spa additions.
After all the years operating here, Scottsdale offers a plethora of opportunity to enhance the Arizona lifestyle. A lot of the customers moving here have never owned a pool before, or they arrive with a vision of something they've always wanted.

Matt was in and out with an easy fix. He showed me how to avoid the issue in the future. We have had Matt on various calls throughout the years. When it comes to pools, he knows his stuff!

We had an outstanding experience with WFUP! In less than 2 weeks they completely resurfaced our pool and are already filling it with water. We had no idea it could be done so quickly. From start to finish, their communication has been excellent, even when I had silly questions (new to the process). We were kept informed every step of the way, which made the process stress free. Their team showed up every single day…
Full pool renovations including new interior finishes, tile, coping, decking and modernized layouts.
Replastering and resurfacing worn, rough or stained pool interiors with pebble, quartz or plaster finishes.
Pump, filter, heater, automation and plumbing repairs or upgrades to energy-efficient equipment.
Leak detection, crack and shell repair, skimmer and plumbing fixes for pools losing water.
Decking, pavers, water features, ramadas and complete backyard makeovers built around the pool.
