South Bay Custom Pool Builders in Torrance, CA

Romano Pool Builders designs and constructs custom inground pools across Torrance and the South Bay beach communities. One licensed crew carries each project from the first design sketch through grading, steel, shotcrete, tile, plaster, and the final inspection, so the backyard you imagine is the backyard that actually gets built.

โœ“ Community Focused  โœ“ Customer First  โœ“ Quality Workmanship

A pool is the centerpiece of a South Bay backyard, and around here that backyard does a lot of work. It is the spot for weekend cookouts after a morning at the beach, the place the kids spend every afternoon from June through September, and the view you look at from the kitchen window the other ten months of the year. Romano Pool Builders treats it that way. We are a design-build company, which means the people who draw your pool are the people who pour the deck, and the plan you approve is a plan we already know how to construct on your specific lot.

The neighborhoods we work in, from the flats near the Torrance border to the hillside parcels closer to the Palos Verdes peninsula, each present their own puzzle. Lot sizes are tight, side-yard access is often narrow, the marine layer keeps the air salty, and the grade can change sharply within a single property. A builder who knows these conditions plans around them at the sketch stage instead of running into them at the dig. We size and place your pool to fit the access and the slope, we engineer the shell for the soil underneath it, and we sequence the trades so the job keeps moving from excavation to your first swim.

Whether you picture a sharp modern rectangle with a raised spa and a sheer-descent wall, a freeform pool with a tanning shelf and a built-in bench for the children, or a complete rebuild of an aging plaster pool you inherited with the house, every project begins the same way. We sit down, talk honestly about how your family will actually use the water, draw the design with you, and hand over a written price before anyone breaks ground. We would rather win your confidence with a careful plan than push you toward a signature, and most of our calendar fills from South Bay homeowners pointing their neighbors our way.

What You Get With Our Torrance Crew

Design Through Build

There is no finger-pointing between trades when one team owns the build. No juggling separate designers, excavators, and finishers, it is all us.

Premium Materials

We build the shell, set the steel, and finish the surface to a standard that holds. Quality shows up as a pool that simply keeps performing.

Code-Right, Start To Finish

Permitting in California is involved, and we handle all of it for you. A permitted, engineered build protects your home and your investment.

Towns We Serve From Our Torrance Base

About Romano Pool Builders

Romano Pool Builders is a Torrance-based design-build pool company serving homeowners throughout the South Bay. We design, engineer, permit, and construct custom inground pools, and we handle renovations, remodels, resurfacing, decking, and equipment with the same in-house crew. From the first walkthrough of your yard to the day we hand you a balanced, swimming pool, one accountable team owns the project, so there is never a gap between the person who promised something and the person responsible for delivering it.

We built the company around the parts of a pool that nobody sees once the water goes in. The grading, the steel cage, the shotcrete shell, and the plumbing runs are what quietly decide whether a pool still holds its shape and its finish a decade later. Any crew can make a brand-new pool photograph well on opening day. Building one that still looks and runs right after years of South Bay sun, salt air, and constant family use is the harder job, and it is the one we set out to do.

Most of our projects arrive by word of mouth, which is the only kind of growth we ever wanted. We are licensed, bonded, and insured. We pull the permits and arrange the structural engineering ourselves rather than leaving you to chase paperwork. When you call 424-421-3763, you reach the builders who will design and construct your pool, not a call center and not a lead broker selling your information down the line.

Why one design-build crew changes the whole project

Pools go sideways in the seams between companies. When one outfit sells the design, a second digs the hole, and a third finishes the surfaces, the spaces between them are exactly where the trouble hides. A drawing that looked clean on a tablet meets a soil surprise, an access problem, or a grade the designer never measured, and suddenly no one will own the fix. A design-build crew erases those seams. The same team that stood in your yard, sketched the layout, and quoted the number is the team that excavates, shoots the shell, sets the tile, and pours the deck.

That continuity earns its keep in the South Bay, where so many lots are compact, sloped, or hemmed in by neighbors on three sides. We design with the genuine limits of your property in front of us from the first line, so the plan we deliver is one we are confident we can build without an expensive course correction halfway down. It keeps the schedule honest, it keeps the budget where we said it would be, and it puts a single crew on the hook for the result from the first scoop of dirt to the final city sign-off.

It also means every decision that touches cost and longevity gets made together rather than in isolation. The shell, the plumbing layout, the equipment, the interior finish, and the surrounding deck all lean on one another. Designing and constructing them as one continuous project, instead of bidding each phase to a different sub, is how a backyard ends up reading as one deliberate space rather than a collection of separately purchased parts.

Built for South Bay sun, salt, and everyday use

The structure is the part we are most stubborn about, because the structure is what determines how long everything else lasts. We engineer the shell for your particular soil and slope, tie the steel to specification, and shoot the gunite or shotcrete so the shell is sound from the start. The plumbing is laid out for efficient, quiet circulation, and the equipment pad is set up to code with room to service it later. Only once that foundation is right do we move to the tile, coping, plaster, and decking you see and touch every day.

Finishes near the coast have to be chosen with the marine environment in mind. Salt-carrying air and intense afternoon sun are hard on interiors, coping, and metal hardware, so we steer you toward plaster, quartz, or pebble interiors, tile and coping, and decking materials that hold their color and their footing through years of South Bay weather and heavy weekend traffic. We pick them alongside you to match the design and the way your household lives outdoors, never as a reflex upsell.

We build to local pool code and the relevant ANSI/APSP and ICC-5 standards, with the engineering and inspections that keep a pool safe and durable for the long run. The aim is straightforward. We want a pool that looks as sharp and runs as cleanly in its tenth summer as it did the afternoon we filled it and handed you the keys.

Our Torrance crew designs and builds the whole pool: new pool construction for a brand-new custom inground pool, pool renovations to bring an aging pool back to life, a pool redesign to reshape and modernize what you have, refinishing the surface for a fresh plaster or pebble finish, pool deck installation for the decking and hardscape around it, and energy-efficient equipment for energy-efficient pumps, heaters, and automation.

Beyond Torrance itself, we cover the surrounding area, including Redondo Beach, CA, Manhattan Beach pool construction, pool construction work in Hermosa Beach, pool construction in Gardena. If you searched for local pool construction service, you found a pool builder with a real address and a real phone.

Local Pool FAQs

What is a fiberglass pool?

In plain terms, a fiberglass pool is one of the main ways a pool is built or finished, each with trade-offs. It works as part of the whole build, so its fit affects the finished pool. If you are weighing options, a consultation settles what suits your yard. Phone 424-421-3763 for an honest recommendation.

How much is it to get an inground pool?

There is no flat rate for a pool build, because the price follows the size, the type, and the site rather than a set figure. Gunite, fiberglass, and vinyl-liner pools price differently and suit different budgets and yards. We assess the yard, plan the build, and lay out the full scope and cost in writing. Call 424-421-3763 for a no-pressure Torrance estimate.

Can you add a pool to a new construction home?

The honest answer to this one depends on your pool, your yard, and your goals, and we would rather be straight than give a blanket yes or no. We would rather tell you what is genuinely true for your pool than push you toward the bigger job. The surest way to a real answer is a site visit, and we will lay out the honest options. Phone 424-421-3763 for a Torrance consultation.

Can you remodel an inground pool?

This is a fair question, and the real answer is a plain "it depends," for good reasons. A general rule only goes so far; your specific pool and goals decide it. We will give you the honest recommendation, whatever it is, and if a smaller job will do we will say so. Call 424-421-3763 for a straight answer.

How do you replace inground pool light?

You can tackle some pool tasks yourself, but building or major work is skilled, permitted, and unforgiving. A build done wrong leaks or cracks, and fixing it later costs far more than doing it right. We are glad to tell you honestly what you can do yourself and what needs a professional. Reach 424-421-3763 for a Torrance consultation.

Can you finance an inground pool?

Here is the straight answer, without a sales pitch. A general rule only goes so far; your specific pool and goals decide it. For anything involving permits or feasibility, we will tell you plainly what your yard allows. Call 424-421-3763 for a straight answer.
