If your pool's gone green, your heater won't fire, or your plaster's chalking after a decade in the Long Beach sun, you're in the right place. Adams Pool & Spa is a family-run pool and spa company serving Long Beach and surrounding LA County with weekly maintenance, full repair diagnostics, custom pool construction, and in-ground spa work. We handle the whole lifecycle of a backyard pool so you don't chase three different contractors to get one job done right.
Adams Pool & Spa is a Long Beach, CA pool and spa contractor founded and owned by Adam Aguirre, a 15-year industry veteran who's Jandy Certified and a Pentair Expert Installer. We build, service, repair, and resurface residential and commercial pools across Long Beach and surrounding LA County.
Every new client gets Pool School, a 30 to 40 minute walkthrough of your own equipment so you actually know what you own. The company has run on three principles since day one in 2013: return every call within 24 hours, quote in writing before any work, and fix the root cause so the same problem doesn't come back next quarter.
Read Adam Aguirre's full founder story for how the company started and what's kept clients with us for a decade.
Adam didn't start in a sales office. He started in equipment rooms, two years as an apprentice pulling motors, rewiring heaters, and learning why a sand filter that looks fine on the gauge is actually cooked on the inside. That apprenticeship is the part most Long Beach pool companies skip, and it shows up later when a tech can't tell you whether your Pentair heater needs a new igniter or a new gas valve.
After those two years, Adam opened Adams Pool & Spa in 2013. He kept hearing the same three complaints from homeowners whose previous companies had burned them: nobody called back, the pricing was vague, and the fix came back broken a month later. A pool company that just returned calls, quoted clearly, and actually repaired the root cause would stand out in Long Beach. It did.
Today the company handles the full lifecycle of a backyard pool. Adam is still the lead technician on construction jobs and major repair diagnostics. If your heater is down and you need somebody who's been inside a few thousand of them, you're calling the right guy.
Most pool companies in Long Beach are set up to sell as many service visits as possible. We're set up to keep your pool running so well you rarely need us. That flip changes everything about how we operate.
A 30 to 40 minute walkthrough of your own equipment pad on the first visit. Skimmer baskets, pump strainer, filter, heater, chlorinator, automation panel. When something's off three months from now, you'll know whether to call us or flip a breaker. Nobody else in Long Beach runs a program like it.
Call us and we call you back within 24 hours. Every time. Sounds like the lowest possible bar for a service business, and it is, but it's also the number-one complaint homeowners have about pool companies in this city. Written into our emergency service policy.
You shouldn't hire a pool builder, a repair tech, a resurfacing crew, and a weekly maintenance company. We do all of it. Construction, custom design, repair, weekly cleaning, and in-ground spa work.
Adam personally handles every specific-issue diagnostic. Routine maintenance runs through the trained crew, but when something's actually broken, the owner walks the pad. Customers tell us that's the difference: someone who's seen a few thousand failures recognizes yours in two minutes.
Every diagnostic ends with a line-item quote: parts, labor, and a repair-vs-replace recommendation. Nothing gets replaced until you see the number. If the fix turns out minor, we often cover it on the visit and waive the diagnostic fee.
If a pump is under 8 years old and the fix is under $300, we repair. Past 10 years, we usually recommend a variable-speed replacement because the energy savings pay back inside 3 years. We tell you which math fits your equipment, not which one pads our invoice.
Anyone can say they "know pool equipment." Manufacturers don't. They require training, testing, and volume of installs before putting your name on their certified list. Adam holds two of the hardest credentials in the industry, plus an NPT partnership that carries lifetime surface coverage:
We cover residential and commercial work across the full pool lifecycle.
Weekly maintenance, filter cleaning, chemical balancing, skimmer and basket service. See residential pool cleaning service for what's on the visit.
Pumps, motors, heaters, filters, leaks, plumbing, and tile. One company for every system on the pad. See residential pool repair service.
New gunite shells, equipment pads, coping, and decking. In-house custom pool design for new builds and major renovations.
Pebble, plaster, and quartz finish restoration on older pools. Backed by NPT's lifetime warranty. See pool resurfacing.
Built-in spa diagnostics, heater and jet repair, resurfacing. See spa repair service. One note: in-ground built-in spas only, portable hot tubs sit outside our scope.
HOA pools, hotels, and apartment complexes. Multi-visit weekly schedules, Title 22 documented chemistry, single account manager. See commercial pool maintenance.
Long Beach pools are different. Salt air off the harbor eats exposed metal faster than inland pools. Older plaster in Belmont Heights and Bluff Park is chalking out at 12 to 15 years instead of 20. Signal Hill pools sit at awkward elevations that mean pump sizing matters more than usual. Naples Island waterfront homes have pools 30 feet from brackish water, which changes what you need to do with sacrificial anodes and bonding.
A pool company that hasn't worked in these specific neighborhoods for a decade won't know any of that. We service the whole city plus the surrounding LA County market: Alamitos Beach, Belmont Shore, Belmont Heights, Bixby Knolls, Bluff Park, California Heights, Carson Park, Cypress, Downey, Lakewood, Los Alamitos, Naples Island, Paramount, Rossmoor, Seal Beach, Signal Hill, and Westminster.

"I have been using Adam's Pool & Spa Service since 2016. Very responsible and trustworthy. Adam himself comes out whenever I call with specific issues."
"We have used Adam's Pool and Spa since we built our pool 7 years ago. The service has been great and the pool is always clean and sparkling throughout the year."
"Adam's Pool and Spa was extremely helpful in upgrading our pool pump. They helped us source the best price and they were readily available to do the install."
"My swimming pool's pump stopped working. He showed up on time and within a couple minutes had figured out and corrected the issue."
"It's hard to find a company you can fully trust, but Adam and his team give you real peace of mind."
"Adam called me back in three hours on a Sunday. Nobody else even called me back on Monday."
Adams Pool & Spa is based in Long Beach and covers every neighborhood in the city plus the surrounding LA County. Our service radius runs roughly 25 miles from 910 E 72nd Street.
Coastal pools in Belmont Shore, Naples Island, and Alamitos Beach see us most for salt-air corrosion and heater work. Inland pools in Bixby Knolls, California Heights, and Lakewood Village see us for pollen load and chemistry swings tied to year-round heat.

Adams Pool & Spa has been operating for 13 years under its current ownership. Adam Aguirre spent an additional 2 years as an apprentice before founding the company in 2013, for a total of 15 years of hands-on pool industry experience.
Yes. Adam is Jandy Certified and a Pentair Expert Installer. Both certifications require manufacturer training and ongoing volume, and they're what allow us to honor factory warranties on equipment we install.
Pool School is a 30 to 40 minute walkthrough we give every new client at their own equipment pad. We explain what each piece of equipment does, what the gauges should read, and what to do if something looks off. It's included at no extra charge because an informed homeowner is a better long-term client.
No. We work exclusively on in-ground, built-in in-ground spas that are plumbed into a pool equipment pad. If you have a portable unit on a deck, you'll need a spa dealer who specializes in those.
We cover Long Beach and its neighborhoods (Alamitos Beach, Belmont Shore, Belmont Heights, Bixby Knolls, Bluff Park, Naples Island, Signal Hill, Wrigley, and more) plus surrounding LA County cities including Cypress, Downey, Lakewood, Los Alamitos, Paramount, Rossmoor, Seal Beach, and Westminster Village. See our locations.
Yes. Pool School on your first visit is led by Adam on most accounts. For specific repair calls, Adam handles the diagnostic himself. Read more about him on Adam Aguirre's founder page.
Book Pool School, schedule a repair diagnostic, or get a quote on a new build. You'll talk to Adam or someone on his direct team, not a call center, and you'll get a callback within 24 hours.
