Hiring tip

Swimming pool construction requires building, electrical, and plumbing permits. California also requires compliant safety barriers under the Swimming Pool Safety Act. Verify the contractor includes all required safety features in the bid and ask about warranty coverage for the pool shell.

California law requires a contractor license for this type of work on projects valued at $500 or more (combined labor and materials). Hiring an unlicensed contractor for work requiring a license may void your consumer protections.
