Our 24+ year-old pool needed repairs and updating, and we wanted to add a hot tub. We sought bids from six different top Tucson pool builders/contractors. Once we saw Carlos Arzate’s design, it was a no-brainer to choose Arzate Design Group to do the remodel.
During the design phase, Carlos asked great questions about how we wanted to use the yard and even took into consideration our view from the inside. The view from my office was of the unattractive pool equipment. He was the only designer to suggest moving the pool equipment to a corner with an awkward angle that made it unusable for anything else, thus solving two issues with one change. He also took into consideration that we intend to stay in the house into our senior years. Carlos Arzate’s design completely reimagined how we could use that part of our yard.
The best part is that the end result looks exactly like the original design images! Now seven months after completion, we’re still thrilled each time we step into our new pool area, and amazed at how it came out.
As with many building projects, the process of getting to the end result was not always smooth. We had to navigate an easement issue that we’d been unaware of, and the pandemic hit in the middle of our construction. Carlos and his crew kept their head through it all (even when I was losing mine!), and they ably maneuvered the obstacles. Shout out to project manager Zac who went the extra mile during a pandemic to get this job done.
The results exceed our expectations. We are so pleased with the work, we hope to hire Arzate Design Group again to create a cohesive design for the other half of our yard. We highly recommend Carlos Arzate and Arzate Design Group for all pool building, remodeling and yard design needs.
