Who’s Really Licensed to Build Your Pool in California?

You’ve probably heard that only a C-53 contractor can legally build a swimming pool in California. That’s a myth.

The truth? Both C-53 and B General Contractors are fully licensed to build pools—so long as the project includes multiple trades, which every new pool does.

Think of it like building a house. The general contractor (a B license) doesn’t frame the walls or pour the foundation—they manage and coordinate licensed specialists to get it done right. Pools work the same way.

At Maverick Construction, we’re a licensed B contractor. We don’t just build pools—we manage the full vision, from design to ex*****on.
