CSLB's public data lists 51 pool contractors with a mailing address in San Diego, and 48 of them (94.1%) show a Clear primary status.

52.9% report a workers' comp exemption, 11.2 points higher than the statewide figure for pool contractors (41.7%), so many of these businesses say they have no employees. The share with a suspension (5.9%) is close to the San Diego County rate for the same license (5.5%).

Experience varies: 60.8% have been licensed 10+ years and 7 are new this year (median 11.8 years, vs 14.6 statewide).

In California this work generally calls for the C-53 Swimming Pool Contractor license (or a B license when it is part of a larger multi-trade job). See the C-53 Swimming Pool Contractor guide for what the license covers.

How to check a pool contractor's license in San Diego

  1. Look the company up by name or license number (search San Diego). On the profile, confirm three things: Clear status, the C-53 license for this kind of work, and a contractor's bond on file.
  2. Before any money changes hands, verify the license on CSLB's own lookup. Our data comes from CSLB's weekly file, so a very recent change may not show here yet.
  3. Ask for the pocket license and a photo ID and match the name to your contract. Work of $1,000 or more needs a license (the $1,000 rule), and a down payment can't exceed $1,000 or 10% (down payment rules).
