Thunderbird Pools & Spas is a family-owned, award-winning pool builder with more than 20 years of experience designing and constructing luxury pools across the Phoenix Metro area. Led by owners Cohl and Lisa Workman, our team is committed to exceptional craftsmanship, transparent communication, and creating outdoor spaces that bring families together.
Whether you’re dreaming of a brand-new custom pool or looking to remodel an existing one, Thunderbird delivers high-end design, durable construction, and a seamless customer experience from start to finish.
Your backyard should feel like a personal retreat. We build every pool using high‑quality shotcrete to ensure long-term structural strength and performance in the unique soil conditions found throughout the West Valley. From modern geometric layouts to lush resort-style escapes, every design is crafted with precision and premium materials.
If your existing pool needs a refresh, Thunderbird specializes in complete transformations. We understand local Glendale requirements; for most standard remodels—such as interior resurfacing and decking—permits are typically not required unless structural changes are involved, helping streamline your project timeline.
- PebbleTec® Finishes: As a certified provider, we offer genuine PebbleTec interiors exclusively in their Pebble Sheen and Pebble Essence lines. These finishes deliver a beautiful, durable surface with rich color, refined texture, and long-lasting performance. Optional quartz or glass bead accents can be added for enhanced sparkle and depth.
- Longer Lifespan: PebbleTec finishes are engineered for longevity, offering a significantly extended surface life compared to traditional plaster. With proper care during startup and routine maintenance, your new interior will maintain its beauty and durability for many years.
- Tile & Coping: We partner with industry leaders, including Monterrey Tile Company, National Pool Tile (NPT), and Noble Tile Supply, to provide a wide selection of glass, porcelain, and stone materials that complement any design style.
Enhance your outdoor living with energy-efficient equipment and modern features:
- Equipment Upgrades: We utilize high-performance Hayward® systems, including variable-speed pumps and smart automation.
- Water & Fire Features: Add sheer descents, scuppers, waterfalls, or dramatic fire bowls to create the perfect evening ambiance.
- LED Lighting: Upgrade to energy-efficient LED systems for a vibrant nighttime experience.
