Report
Nothing but a hole in my backyard with wiring and plumbing. No water no concrete. This process was started by my homebuilder who recommended I use presidential pools two years ago. I was assured the pool would be done when the home was finished. So I've been in the house two months now and pool appears half done. I've seen no action on finishing the pool for months. No calls back or response from Presidential on when it will be done. Perhaps going out of business and not telling people? If they are still in business I recommend steering clear of this "Pool Builder"

Presidential was the only company in Tucson that was easy to get a hold of and get a designer out to the house. We started working with Dave and then our construction manager Heather. They both followed up with me when I asked questions and never left me hanging. We came into this process knowing that it would take awhile to complete so we stayed patient. We are overall happy with the design process and construction process. There were a few time delays but nothing too crazy.

We decided to get a pool last year and love our decisions. Presidential Pools was 1 of 3 vendors we had give us a quote and they were the most professional. I had to follow up with the other companies just to get a design and quote. Working on the design and picking the materials was so much fun and we even decided to make the pool bigger once we laid everything out. The install was great and we had our pool in time for the summer. So glad we have the pool to deal with the summer months.

I NEVER write reviews online and this is now my 2nd review for Presidential, which I hope helps demonstrate how frustrated I am. I wrote a review back in November after 9 months of frustration and here we are just shy of 1 year process with even higher frustration. Communication has been worse. Everyone at Presidential and their preferred landscape company Sanctuary, points the finger at each other instead of solving the problem and just getting the pool built.
This is a complete lack of management on this project. I could go on and on, but I'll just say this. If you're okay with false claims, incorrect information, over promises, miscommunication and nobody to ensure the project moves forward without you yourself calling people at Presidential, this is the pool builder for you!

Sales process was great, sales rep engaged during construction phase. Construction was slow, covid impact to some degree. Problems started after final payment was given, laws in AZ require final payment before shot crete can be started, even if other inspections are not done and other work to be done is not completed and pool equipment is not tested. We have pool equipment issues and now the company is not responsive to addressing these issues since they received full payment. What good will the warranty be if they cannot respond to issues that should have neen addressed during construction.
