residential pool contractor long beach
From a napkin sketch to twenty summers of family memories. Long Beach residential pool builder for families ready for the backyard they've pictured.
It's hard to find a company you can fully trust when the job is a six-figure inground build. Adam's Pool and Spa Service operates as a residential pool contractor in Long Beach under CA LIC# 1077901, a C-53 license verifiable at CSLB.ca.gov. One owner, one license, and one crew handle design, permits, construction, and lifetime service on every pool.
Why Does a California Pool Contractor License Matter?
A valid CSLB license is what separates a licensed pool contractor from a handyman with a truck. In California, any pool project over $500 in labor and materials legally requires a C-53 Swimming Pool Contractor license.
Our license is CA LIC# 1077901. You can look it up at CSLB.ca.gov and see the classification, bond, and insurance on file. Adam himself comes out whenever a specific issue shows up. Same name, same license, every job.
Unlicensed work creates real exposure. You lose warranty protection, you can't pull permits, and resale disclosure gets complicated. Every pool we build or remodel runs under our C-53 license.
What Does a Residential Pool Contractor Do?
A licensed residential pool contractor in Long Beach covers six scope areas. All six stay under one license on our projects.

Local Pool Contractor vs National Chain
Four differences show up when comparing our license-first model to a franchise builder:
Named owner on every job, not a rotating franchisee or account manager.
Local license in Long Beach, not a corporate license held elsewhere.
Single-crew execution by the same team you met at the consultation.
Lifetime service by the same contractor who signed the original permit.
One Contractor. Build. Maintain. Upgrade.
The anti-franchise move is full-lifecycle coverage under one C-53 license. Six service categories stay with us.
New pool construction
Design, permits, and full-build execution on custom inground pools. See construction detail.
Custom pool design
Collaborative design with equipment and surface specified at the plan stage. See the design process.
Pool remodeling
Full resurfacing, tile replacement, equipment swap, and automation upgrade on older pools. Same license, same crew.
Weekly maintenance
Chemistry, cleaning, filter service, and equipment checks on the pools we built and pools we didn't.
Equipment repair
Pump, heater, filter, and salt cell diagnosis and repair on Jandy and Pentair gear we're certified on.
Spa and pool-spa combo
In-ground spa builds and pool-spa combo integration. We don't service portable or above-ground units.

FAQ
Pool Contractor FAQ
How do I verify a pool contractor's license in California?
Go to CSLB.ca.gov, click Check a License, enter the number, and review the results. You'll see classification, bond status, worker's comp coverage, issue date, and any complaints. Our license is 1077901, classified C-53 Swimming Pool Contractor.
What's the difference between a pool contractor and a pool service company?
A pool contractor holds the CSLB license required for construction, remodeling, and permitted work. A pool service company handles cleaning, chemistry, and minor repair. We're both. Same license, same crew, same phone number across the lifecycle of the pool.
Does Adam's Pool and Spa handle both construction and ongoing maintenance?
Yes. Every pool we build stays with us for maintenance, equipment repair, and upgrades. One reviewer put it simply: they built a pool 7 years ago with Adam and are still with the same company. That continuity is the main reason customers hire us over a franchise builder.
Is Adam's Pool and Spa licensed and insured?
Yes. CA LIC# 1077901, C-53 classification, bonded and insured per California Contractors State License Board requirements. Verify anytime at CSLB.ca.gov. Every permit and every inspection runs under that license.
What warranty comes with a new pool build?
Interior plaster, quartz, or pebble surfaces carry an NPT Lifetime Warranty when specified and installed per NPT spec. Qualifying complete equipment installations carry a 5-year warranty. Workmanship warranties are spelled out line-by-line in every contract.
Why choose a local pool contractor over a national chain?
A local contractor holds the Long Beach license, knows the city's permit office, and shows up in person. Franchise builders often subcontract execution and route service through a call center. The named-owner model keeps accountability with one person on one license.
How do I get a quote from a Long Beach pool contractor?
Call (562) 439-2693 or schedule online. Adam walks the yard in person, prices the real options, and sends a line-item estimate. No sales rep, no commission-driven upsell. The consultation is the first real conversation about your pool.

Pool Contractor Reference
Construction concepts every Long Beach contractor hits
Three terms that show up on every plan-review meeting and equipment-pad spec.
- Shotcrete
-
Concrete pneumatically projected at high velocity onto a steel rebar cage. Forms the structural shell of every gunite pool and is the construction method we use on new Long Beach builds.
- Plaster
-
The interior finish coat on a gunite pool, traditionally white marble plaster. Modern variants include color quartz and pebble aggregate. Lifespan is 8 to 15 years before replastering is needed.
- Heat pump
-
An electric pool heater that moves heat from the air into pool water. Lower operating cost than gas in mild Long Beach winters; longer warm-up time than gas.
