How It Works
1. Design and quote
We come to you, measure the yard, check setbacks and easements, and design your pool in 3D so you see it before anyone touches a shovel. The quote is itemized down to the tile, so you know what you are paying for.
2. Permits and excavation
We pull the permits through the City of Long Beach and handle the dig, the steel, and the inspections. You get a written schedule and the same in-house crew from the first day to the last.
3. Shotcrete, tile, and finishes
Steel cage, shotcrete shell, plumbing, tile, coping, interior finish, and decking. Equipment is sized to the pool, not to the invoice, and everything metal is specified for coastal air.
4. Fill, start-up, and handoff
We fill it, run the 28-day plaster start-up, balance the chemistry, and walk you through the equipment pad until you can run it yourself. Weekly service is optional, never assumed.
Our Pool Services in Long Beach, CA
Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Construction
Gunite pool construction in Long Beach is a sprayed concrete shell over an engineered steel cage, and it is the only method that lets you build a genuinely custom shape that outlives the house. We design it in 3D, pull the City of Long Beach permits, and hand it back filled and balanced in roughly 8 to 12 weeks of construction.
Fiberglass Pool Installation
Fiberglass pool installation in Long Beach gets you swimming in a fraction of the time a gunite build takes, because the shell arrives on a truck as one finished piece and gets craned into a prepared hole. If your priority is a pool this season rather than a fully custom shape, this is the honest recommendation and we will make it.
Pool Remodeling & Renovation
Pool remodeling in Long Beach turns a structurally sound but dated pool into something you actually want to look at, for a fraction of what a new pool costs. We remodel in layers so you can decide exactly where to stop, and the quote shows you what each layer buys.
Pool Resurfacing & Replastering
Pool resurfacing and replastering in Long Beach replaces the worn interior finish that makes an old pool feel rough underfoot and look permanently dirty. We chip out the failed surface, prep it properly, and trowel on new pebble, quartz, or plaster in one continuous pour, then manage the 28-day start-up ourselves.
Waterline Tile & Coping Replacement
Waterline tile and coping replacement in Long Beach is the cheapest way to make an ordinary pool look like a renovated one, because those two bands are the only part of the pool anyone actually looks at from a standing position. We replace failed tile and coping, or clean and reset what is salvageable, and rebuild the expansion joint properly while we are in there.
Pool Decking & Hardscape
Pool decking and hardscape in Long Beach covers everything outside the water line: travertine, pavers, stamped concrete, overlays, drainage, seat walls, fire pits, and outdoor kitchens. We design and build the deck as part of the pool rather than as an afterthought, because you spend most of your pool time standing on it rather than swimming in it.
Spa & Hot Tub Installation
Spa and hot tub installation in Long Beach comes down to two routes: an attached gunite spa built into the pool, or a standalone acrylic tub on a pad. We build both, and we will tell you which one your yard, your budget, and your actual habits point to before you spend anything.
Water Features & Waterfalls
Pool water features and waterfalls in Long Beach do two jobs: they make the yard look finished, and they cover the sound of Pacific Coast Highway, the 405, and whatever is happening in the yard three doors down. On a dense city lot that second job is worth more than most people expect, and we design for it deliberately.
Pool Lighting & LED Upgrades
LED pool lighting in Long Beach is the best value upgrade in this entire trade: swapping a 500-watt incandescent fixture for a modern LED drops the draw to roughly 40 to 70 watts and turns a dim yellow puddle into something worth looking at from the kitchen window. We retrofit existing niches, replace whole fixtures, and install nicheless LEDs where the old niche is past saving.
Pool Automation & Smart Controls
Pool automation in Long Beach replaces the mechanical timer that loses an hour every month and the valve you have to walk out and turn by hand with a controller you run from your phone. We install new systems, retrofit controls onto existing equipment pads, and program the schedules with you so the thing does not sit on factory defaults for three years.
Pool Heaters & Heat Pumps
Pool heater installation and repair in Long Beach covers gas heaters, electric heat pumps, and solar, and the right answer depends entirely on whether you want heat fast or heat cheap. We size the unit from surface area, target temperature rise, wind exposure, and cover use rather than from the square footage on a brochure, and we specify corrosion-resistant heat exchangers on coastal jobs as standard.
Variable-Speed Pumps & Filtration
Variable-speed pool pump installation in Long Beach is the single largest running-cost saving available to a pool owner, because the pump is usually the biggest electricity user in the backyard and often the second biggest in the house. We size and install variable-speed pumps and matching cartridge, DE, or sand filtration, rebuild tired equipment pads, and set the speeds so the system actually performs instead of just complying.
Saltwater Chlorination Systems
Saltwater pool conversion in Long Beach swaps the jugs of liquid chlorine in your garage for a cell on the equipment pad that makes chlorine on demand from dissolved salt. We install new salt systems, convert existing chlorine pools, replace and descale cells, and check the coping, decking, and metalwork first so the conversion does not quietly cost you more than it saves.
Leak Detection & Structural Repair
Pool leak detection in Long Beach finds where your water is actually going, using bucket tests, dye testing, individual line pressure testing, and electronic listening equipment rather than guesswork and a shovel. We pinpoint the failure first so we open one small section of deck instead of trenching your yard, then repair it, from a reset skimmer to a structural gunite patch.
Weekly Pool Cleaning & Maintenance
Weekly pool cleaning and maintenance in Long Beach keeps the water balanced, the equipment alive, and your Saturday free. Every visit covers skimming, brushing, vacuuming, baskets, filter service on schedule, a full chemistry test and adjustment, and a proper look at the equipment pad, with a written report sent afterwards showing exactly what was tested and what was added.
Commercial Pool Construction & Service
Commercial pool construction and service in Long Beach covers hotels, marina resorts, apartment and condo communities, HOAs, gyms, and community centers, built and maintained to California commercial pool code with the documentation an inspector actually asks for. We handle new builds, remodels, resurfacing, and scheduled maintenance contracts, and we stage the work so your amenity spends as little time closed as possible.
Pool Safety Fencing, Covers & Alarms
Pool safety fencing, covers, and alarms in Long Beach keep small children out of the water and keep your pool compliant with California's Swimming Pool Safety Act, which requires new pools and many remodels to include at least one approved drowning-prevention feature. We install removable mesh fencing, automatic and manual safety covers, gate and door alarms, and surface and subsurface alarms, and we upgrade existing gate hardware.
Pool Demolition & Removal
Swimming pool removal in Long Beach is either a partial fill-in or a full excavation, and the choice matters far more than most homeowners realize when it comes time to sell the house. We pull the demolition permit, disconnect utilities at the pad, break out or haul out the shell, backfill with engineered fill in compacted lifts, and grade the finished area so it drains.
What Long Beach Customers Say
They designed our pool in 3D so we knew exactly what we were getting. Crew was on time every day and the tanning ledge is my kids' favorite spot in the house, which is saying something. Worth every penny.
Got three quotes for a remodel. These guys were the only ones who showed up when they said they would and actually explained the difference between quartz and pebble instead of just pushing the expensive one. New pebble finish looks brand new.
Our pump died the first week of July, which is apparently the law. They diagnosed it and had a variable-speed unit in the next day with no upsell on anything else. Now on their weekly service and the water has never been clearer.
Built our pool and the travertine deck together. It genuinely does not burn your feet in August. Honest about the timeline, stuck to it, and cleaned up every single day.
Long Beach Pool Pros is a licensed and insured swimming pool contractor with over 15 years of experience designing, building, remodeling, and servicing pools for residential and commercial properties in Long Beach, CA.
Our work covers new gunite and shotcrete pool construction, fiberglass pool installation, pool remodeling and renovation, resurfacing and replastering, waterline tile and coping replacement, pool decking and hardscape, spa and hot tub installation, water features, LED pool lighting, chemical automation, heaters and heat pumps, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination, leak detection, structural repair, weekly maintenance, safety fencing and covers, and pool demolition and removal.
We finish interiors in PebbleTec, pebble aggregate, quartz, and standard white plaster, set travertine coping and glass or porcelain waterline tile, and build tanning ledges, Baja shelves, raised spas with spillovers, and infinity edges for backyard pools, hotel pools, apartment pools, and HOA pools alike.
The coast is the reason half our phone calls happen. Salt air off San Pedro Bay eats bare metal fasteners, heat-exchanger fins, and cheap light rings, so we specify cupronickel or titanium heat exchangers, sacrificial anodes, and corrosion-resistant hardware as standard rather than as an upsell.

About Long Beach Pool Pros in Long Beach, CA
Long Beach Pool Pros has spent over 15 years designing, building, and maintaining swimming pools across Long Beach and the South Bay. We started as a small family crew doing resurfaces in Lakewood and Bellflower and grew the way we build pools, which is to say slowly and without cutting the steel schedule.
Today we handle everything from custom backyard gunite pools to commercial pools for waterfront hotels, marina resorts, and apartment communities, and we still run every project with our own in-house crews rather than handing your yard to a subcontractor you never meet.
What actually sets us apart is that we are still around after the build. We design your pool in 3D so there are no surprises when the shell goes in, we specify corrosion-resistant equipment because ocean air off San Pedro Bay is unforgiving, and we back every construction, remodel, and resurfacing project with a written workmanship warranty.
We hold a California C-53 Swimming Pool Contractor license regulated by the CSLB, carry general liability and workers' compensation coverage, are bonded, and are members of the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance.
We are also happy to talk you out of things. If your plaster has five good years left, we will say so. If a $9,000 remodel gets you 80 percent of what a $40,000 remodel gets you, we will show you the difference and let you decide.
From new construction and remodeling to resurfacing, decking, equipment repair, leak detection, and weekly maintenance, Long Beach Pool Pros is one point of contact for a pool that looks right and runs cheap for decades. Se habla español, and the estimate is always free.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a new pool cost in Long Beach?
Most inground gunite pools in the South Bay land between the low $60,000s and the low $100,000s, depending on size, interior finish, decking square footage, and whether you add a spa, tanning ledge, or water feature.
Lot access is the wild card here: a Belmont Shore backyard reachable only through a side gate costs more to excavate than a Lakewood yard with alley access, because the dirt leaves by wheelbarrow instead of by truck. You get a firm itemized number after the free in-home design.
How long does a pool build take from permit to swim?
Budget 8 to 12 weeks of construction once we break ground, plus 3 to 6 weeks up front for design, engineering, and City of Long Beach permitting. Remodels run faster, usually 1 to 3 weeks for a resurface and 3 to 5 weeks if tile, coping, and decking all get replaced at once.
Does ocean air really damage pool equipment?
Yes, and it is the most underrated cost of owning a pool within a few miles of the water. Salt-laden air corrodes heater heat exchangers, pump hardware, light ring screws, and unprotected rebar in the deck. We specify cupronickel or titanium heat exchangers, stainless or brass fasteners, and sealed light niches on coastal jobs, and we rinse and inspect equipment pads on our weekly routes.
Do you build and service commercial pools?
We do. Waterfront hotels, marina resorts, apartment complexes, condo associations, HOAs, and community centers across Long Beach and the Gateway Cities use us for new construction, remodels, resurfacing, and scheduled maintenance built to California commercial pool code, including ADA access and lifts.
Will you service a pool you did not build?
Almost always yes. We take over weekly service, repairs, resurfacing, and full remodels on pools built by anybody. The one time we say no is when a shell is structurally failed beyond repair, and we will tell you that straight instead of selling you a resurface that cracks again in two years.
Is a saltwater pool worth it in Long Beach?
For most homeowners, yes. The water feels softer, there are no chlorine jugs in the garage, and running costs drop to roughly a few bags of pool salt a year plus a cell replacement every 3 to 7 years. The catch is that salt is hard on natural stone coping and on metal, so if you have untreated flagstone decking or an older heater, budget for sealing and for a corrosion-resistant heat exchanger before you convert.
