Albuquerque Pool Pros provides professional spa & hot tub installation in Albuquerque, NM for residential and commercial properties across the Albuquerque metro and the Rio Grande valley. Spa and hot tub installation is arguably the more valuable half of the project in a market with an eleven-week unheated swim season.
A pool in Albuquerque is a summer amenity; a spa is a February amenity, and sitting in 102-degree water under a clear high-desert sky at 20 degrees is one of the genuinely great things about living here.
We build gunite spas as part of new construction and retrofit them into existing pools, most often as a raised spa with a spillover that sheets back into the pool and doubles as a water feature.
Build quality shows up in details people do not see.
A spa needs its own suction and return circuit, a heater sized to the volume rather than borrowed from the pool, jets aimed where adults actually carry tension, and seat depths that fit a person instead of a catalog average.
Spa and pool share an equipment pad with automated valve actuators so the changeover happens from the app on the drive home, not from you turning ball valves in the dark in January.
Spillover weir length gets calculated against the flow rate, because a spillover that is too wide runs thin and noisy.
Freeze protection is not optional at this altitude — spa plumbing is short, shallow, and the first thing to split in a hard freeze — so every spa we build gets automated freeze protection and a pad laid out so a proper winterization can be done in under an hour.
Interior finishes match the pool in pebble or quartz, and the tile band usually gets upgraded since a raised spa sits at eye level from the patio.
We also pour pads and run electrical for portable hot tubs: a reinforced slab that will not heave, a 50-amp GFCI disconnect within sight of the tub, and a clean conduit run that passes inspection the first time.
And we repair what you already have — cold spas, dead blowers, cracked shells, failed heaters, and jets that lost their pressure years ago.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, flagstone and travertine coping, high-efficiency heat pumps and gas heaters, variable-speed pumps, cartridge and DE filtration — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Albuquerque and nearby communities including Rio Rancho, Santa Fe, South Valley, Los Lunas.

Materials, equipment and how we do spa & hot tub installation
The difference between spa & hot tub installation that lasts and spa & hot tub installation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, flagstone and travertine coping, high-efficiency heat pumps and gas heaters, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Albuquerque job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Albuquerque metro and the Rio Grande valley means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
