Royal Pools by Adams designs and builds custom inground swimming pools across the 95035 zip code, the single zip that covers all of Milpitas. We are a Diamond Certified pool construction company based about 25 minutes away on Camden Avenue in San Jose, and we have been building Bay Area pools since 1969. Our five-step program takes your project from first sketch to first swim.
95035 is all of Milpitas in a single zip: about 78,800 residents across 25,100 households, from historic Sunnyhills, one of America’s pioneering intentionally integrated neighborhoods of the 1950s, across the valley-floor tracts to the hillside band rising toward the eastern ridge. The median home dates to 1987, so the stock is modern, and the city is refreshingly explicit about what pool construction here requires: Milpitas’ own pool and spa handout states that in-ground pools shall be engineered for expansive soil unless a soils report shows otherwise. That is not a caution to us, it is our default posture; every Royal Pools shell here is engineered for the clay that this valley floor is known for, and hillside parcels east of the freeway add slope and drainage design on top. Permits run through the City of Milpitas building division, and we manage the submittal through final inspection. Water arrives through the city’s own utility, which draws on two different wholesale systems depending on where in the city you live, so we confirm your zone during design and balance the fill-day chemistry to the water you actually get. Flat or foothill, 1980s tract or new build, the process is the same: engineer first, then swim.

Royal Pools by Adams is part of the Adams Pool Group, a family-run organization that has been building and finishing pools since 1953. Every 28 Palms project is backed by the same leadership team that oversees every Royal pool in the Bay Area.

We build across all of Milpitas:
The historic 1950s neighborhood with a national story, on the city’s west side.
The 1970s-1990s family streets that make up most of the city.
The hillside band toward the ridge, where slope engineering leads the design.
Our citywide Milpitas page.
All of Milpitas; 95035 is the city’s only zip, spanning Sunnyhills, the valley-floor tracts, and the east foothill band. The citywide Milpitas page covers the full picture.
Because the city put it in writing: Milpitas’ pool and spa requirements state that in-ground pools shall be engineered for expansive soil unless a soils report indicates otherwise. The valley floor’s clay swells and shrinks with moisture, and a shell that is not engineered for it cracks. Ours are engineered for it by default.
Yes. Pool projects run through the City of Milpitas building division, and we prepare the engineered plans, manage plan review, and schedule inspections through the final with a full pool.
The City of Milpitas’ own utility, which draws on two different wholesale systems depending on your part of the city. We confirm your zone during design and test the actual fill water on fill day before balancing the startup chemistry.
Yes. The band east of the freeway climbs toward the ridge, and those parcels get per-lot slope evaluation, drainage design, and any required geotechnical work on top of the citywide expansive-soil standard.
Full-size family pools and pool-spa combos fit these lots comfortably, and with a median home year of 1987, the earliest pools in the zip are reaching remodel age, so we quote both new construction and honest remodel-versus-replacement comparisons.
