Our luxury custom spa construction in Tucson AZ, involves building a permanent, steel-reinforced structure directly into your yard. We tie a thick rebar cage and spray high-pressure shotcrete to create a shell that is much stronger than a pre-made tub. We plumb these units with dedicated manifold lines so every single jet gets full power, and we install high-output gas heaters that get the water hot in minutes.
We take care of the whole technical setup, from pulling the Pima County building permits to finishing the electrical work. Our builds include digital panels so you can turn on the jets from your phone and high-efficiency pumps that keep your power bill low. We focus on the literal layout of the spa, making sure the seating and the jet positions match exactly what you asked for.
Why would you spend money on a spa that’s just a generic, uncomfortable plastic box? We don’t use molds; we tie a steel cage and hand-shape the interior masonry to fit your body. Our masons spend hours with a trowel, curving the benches and loungers to your specific height so you aren’t fighting the water pressure just to stay in your seat. Choose your own finishes, like silver travertine or natural slate, which are basically the only materials that won’t burn your skin off during a Tucson July.
We’re on the lot from the first shovel of dirt to the final pressure wash. Our crew manages the digging, builds the plumbing manifolds, and sets every piece of stone personally to make sure the job actually gets done right. If you want a vanishing edge or a stone spillway that drops into your pool, we build it right into the structural shell. We also deal with Pima County ourselves, handling the permits and the inspectors so you never have to touch a piece of paperwork.
Count on 6 to 10 weeks of work. That covers the whole process from the first dig and pipe installation to the final tile work and filling the shell.
We plumb everything by hand, so you can point to exactly where you want every jet. We’ll set them at the right height for your back or shoulders so the pressure hits the spots where you actually want it.
A high-end build usually starts in the $25k to $35k range. The price moves based on your jet count and the specific stone you pick for the exterior.
The sun out here eats cheap materials, so we only use UV-rated pebble and natural stone that won't fade or peel. We select these specific finishes because they can bake in 110-degree weather for years without cracking or falling apart on you.
Just call us for a site visit. We’ll check your yard and your electrical box, then give you a straight price to get the job moving.
