Custom Home Swimming Pool Construction

Building Dream Pools for Decades!

A custom swimming pool changes everything about how you use your property. Not a stock shape dropped into a hole. A pool designed around your land, your family, and the way you actually want to live outdoors. Royal Pools by Adams has designed and built custom swimming pools across the San Francisco Bay Area since 1969. One team from first sketch to first swim.

Your Swimming Pool Company: What We Build

Every residential project starts with a blank page. Our pool design and build process shapes each pool around your property’s terrain, your aesthetic preferences, and your budget. Compact urban spools in Redwood City. Sprawling resort-scale installations in Danville. Hillside infinity edges in Los Gatos.
  • Custom inground pools in shotcrete at 4,000 PSI (the industry standard gunite sits at 2,500 PSI)
  • Integrated spa construction with separate temperature controls
  • Water features including cascades, deck jets, and sheer descents
  • Baja shelves, tanning ledges, and beach entries for family-friendly designs
  • Saltwater systems, ozone systems, and pool automation
  • Energy-efficient equipment from Jandy and Hayward that meets California Title 24 standards
  • Complete pool decking, tile, coping, and drainage by masonry crews who have been with us for decades
  • Automatic pool covers custom-made for each pool
We coordinate landscaping, hardscaping, fencing, and outdoor kitchens so your pool fits into the full backyard plan. One project. One schedule. One swimming pool company accountable for all of it.

How We Build It

Our five-step process covers everything from your first property walk-through to the day you swim. We come to your home, assess the site, and talk through your vision before anyone picks up a pencil. Then our team produces detailed plans with 3D renderings, handles all permits with your local building department, and builds with our own crews on-site every day.

Why Bay Area Homeowners Choose Royal Pools by Adams

The Adams family has been building pools since 1953. Royal Pools has operated from the same San Jose location since 1969. Between both companies, that adds up to over 140 years of combined building experience and more than 350 employees who show up every day knowing exactly what they’re doing.

We build 90% of every project with our own in-house crews. Excavation, plumbing, steel, shotcrete, tile, electrical, equipment. The remaining work goes to hand-selected subcontractors who have worked with us for decades. Most swimming pool companies subcontract major portions of the job. Your excavation crew works for one company, your plumber works for another, and your tile installer has never met your project manager. We don’t operate that way.

Construction quality backs up the process. We shoot shotcrete at 4,000 PSI and use a 65 pcf double-reinforced steel schedule that exceeds engineering specifications on every project. We run two skimmers and 2.5-inch pipe where competitors use fewer skimmers and smaller pipe. The result: zero structural failures in the last ten years.

Every line item in your proposal has its own price. No bundled pricing that hides where the money goes. Two showrooms give you hands-on access to materials before construction starts. Our San Jose showroom at 2258 Camden Ave is the only outdoor pool showroom in the Bay Area. Our Pleasanton showroom at 3675 Old Santa Rita Road offers the same design consultation experience indoors.

Get Started on Your Custom Pool

The best time to start your pool design and build project in Northern California is four to six months before you want to swim in it. Permitting, design, and construction take time. The earlier you start the conversation, the more flexibility you have with scheduling. We offer free consultations at your home or at either showroom. Pool financing through our partner Lyon Financial is available with loans up to $200,000, terms up to 30 years, and no prepayment penalties.
