Welcome to Optima Pools & Spas
Who Are We at Optima Pools?
We are a small company owned and operated by Thomas Bessette, who stays focused on our current clientele, keeping them as our number 1 priority. We’ve found that our customers appreciate us when their project is always our priority, rather than on a higher volume of future sales. We subscribe to the Golden Rule with Mid-West values so we do operate differently.
We will do our best to meet with serious potential customers who refuse to settle for second best. If you appreciate personalized attention to detail, communication and care throughout your project, then call and we’ll see what we can do for you; we do want and are asking for your business.
The best way to truly vet or check us out is to read our reviews/testimonials of the experiences our previous customers have had. We’ve been consistently top rated with Home Advisor, Angie’s List as well as having a satisfactory record with the Better Business Bureau and Arizona Registrar of Contractors.
Why We’re Different
We’ve decided to stay a small company in order to provide more personalized service in order to maintain a good working relationship with consistent communication, control of higher standards and in the same way, using superior crews, materials, products and care to achieve excellent results. We’re proud and blessed to have so many wonderful people as well as our extremely happy customers and their written testimonials from all over the valley of the sun!
You can always expect friendly, personalized services from us and we look forward to assisting and discussing your plans and exploring your dreams. We’ll offer many ideas and options with direction and care. We will be there for you throughout the entire process – from start to finish and beyond.
We understand that a backyard project like a pool or spa or both may be one of the most expensive investments someone will ever make so it can be a little overwhelming with all to consider and learn in order to make the right choices, keep within your budget and get the most satisfactory results insuring your future enjoyment with the most efficient ease in maintenance and operational cost too.
Why We’re Your Best Choice
We offer each customer complete satisfaction with over 4 decades of experience assisting people with special services doing new pool and spa construction, troubleshooting, repair, renovation and remodeling including depth conversions and shape modifications throughout the Phoenix Metropolitan area. Along with that extensive experience, we have worked with many other pool companies as a sub-contractor doing their new pool/spa start-ups, in-house repairs, warranty work and supervision. Having that experience, we’ve learned a lot as well as what not to do!

a few recent testimonials from our valued customers
-
Although Optima Pools is renowned for their New Pool Builds…they also do remodel jobs…which is what we had done. We were on a tight budget and Tom Bessette….the General Contractor….worked with us on a one to one basis…no middle man.

I would highly recommend working with Tom and his team. His level of customer service and attentiveness to the job, checking in with me, stopping at the job site, making sure everything was done correctly is truly impressive.
-
Thomas is a great person to work with. He did an amazing job. He was on time and very fast to finish the job.

I had a hard time deciding on a contractor when Tom came along he made a lot of sense very knowledgeable very good price did an excellent job and done in a timely manner.

Our pool was built in 1972, and clearly needed some upgrades and changes in the decor. Tom is licensed and bonded and has built and repaired several friends pools, and has been in the business longer then anyone I know.
