Our home turf

Proud to call South Bay home.

South Bay landmark

The South Bay is where Los Angeles meets the Pacific, a string of beach cities and inland communities from Manhattan Beach to Carson, defined by ocean breezes, diverse neighborhoods, and a deeply rooted sense of local pride.

Your South Bay team lives and works in the South Bay, supports its schools and leagues, and treats every pool as a chance to strengthen the community that's been their home for a long time.

A pool is so much more than a pool. It adds lasting value to your home, your family, and your lifestyle. It's where summer birthdays become core memories, where the kids burn off energy after school, and where you unwind with a glass of wine as the string lights flicker on. California Pools of South Bay makes the whole process easy, from the first design sketch and free consultation to the day you dive in and start relaxing. Our local experts are here to guide you every step of the way, making the decisions straightforward, understandable, and genuinely enjoyable. When your builder lives down the street and is proud to call South Bay home, every backyard becomes a personal point of pride.

What our South Bay clients say.

“We recently completed a pool and backyard remodel with California Pools of South Bay/Los Angeles. Overall, we are extremely happy with the result. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail really transformed our backyard into a beautiful space that family and friends will enjoy for years to come. Like all, or most, large projects, there were some unforeseen delays (weather,etc) but because of Spencer’s excellent communication skills, I never had a doubt. He was very responsive when it came to any questions or concerns I may have had, and always set my mind at ease. What mattered most to us was the end result, and they delivered a finished product that looks amazing. The pool, hardscape, and overall design came together beautifully, and we’ve already received many compliments. We appreciate the effort that went into such a large-scale project and would recommend them to others looking for a high-quality pool remodel.”

“California Pools (South Bay / Los Angeles): Simply the best, far exceeded expectations! California Pools (South Bay / Los Angeles) managed the entire process with professionalism and efficiency. We aimed to transform our backyard into an aesthetically pleasing and relaxing landscape. After determining our desire for a backyard pool, we researched pool contractors in our vicinity. Given the magnitude of this project and investment, it was imperative that we select a reputable pool contractor. We choose five pool contractors for initial designs and quotes. After the first round, we shortlisted down to two. Both revised quotes were comparable. Our final decision was based on factors such as professionalism, detailed quotes, staff expertise and responsiveness, references and reviews, and price. We selected California Pools (South Bay / Los Angeles) because Spencer was professional, responsive, and trustworthy. He answered questions, offered pricing alternatives, and provided ample time for decisions. The pool project was completed seamlessly and efficiently. Spencer explained each phase thoroughly, provided daily updates, and assisted with our design changes while suggesting cost-effective alternatives. Change orders were issued for modifications we requested. Spencer was always available to answer our questions and facilitated additional work like re-routing a sewer line, stuccoing brick wall, installing gates that complied with city requirements. All city inspections were passed the first time, proving the high quality of the work. California Pools (South Bay / Los Angeles) provided a straightforward quote with no hidden costs. The process was efficient, and the work was high-quality. Spencer managed the project well and communicated effectively. California Pools (South Bay / Los Angeles) is professional and trustworthy. Our backyard now looks like a mini resort, thanks to Spencer and California Pools (South Bay / Los Angeles). We are very happy and extremely satisfied with our new pool / backyard. Highly recommend giving California Pools (South Bay / Los Angeles) an opportunity - you will be very happy you did!”

“Very satisfied with our pool. Spencer came up with a great design which included pool and jacuzzi. From start to finish the crew showed up and did all of the work. They had to install a handicapped chair and it was done perfectly. Any follow up questions and issues were handled right away. I would use them again.”
