SAN JOSE, CA – August 18, 2026 – PRESSADVANTAGE –
Royal Pools by Adams, a custom residential pool construction company serving the San Francisco Bay Area, has earned Diamond Certified status and secured a place on the 2026 Pool and Spa News Hayward Top 50 Builders list, two industry benchmarks that recognize quality workmanship and construction volume among pool contractors nationwide.
The dual recognition reflects standards that homeowners can use when evaluating pool professionals. Diamond Certified status is awarded only to companies that pass an independent research and ratings process measuring customer satisfaction and business practices. The Pool and Spa News Hayward Top 50 Builders list ranks builders based on the scope and volume of completed projects, offering a national reference point for construction activity within the industry.
For Bay Area homeowners considering a backyard project, these designations point to broader questions worth asking before selecting a licensed pool builder. Verifying credentials, reviewing independent ratings, and confirming a track record on completed projects are part of the due diligence process that industry observers recommend when planning custom swimming pool design and construction.
Royal Pools by Adams (royalpools.com), based in San Jose, California, operates as the custom residential brand of the Adams Pool Group, a family-operated business tracing its roots to 1953. The company constructs custom inground pools using shotcrete rated at 4,000 PSI, a strength above the industry standard of 2,500 PSI, and builds equipment packages that meet California Title 24 energy efficiency requirements.
Tony Adams, CEO of Royal Pools by Adams, said the recognitions align with how the company approaches each project. “Diamond Certified status and a spot on the Top 50 Builders list are outcomes that follow from consistent construction standards rather than goals in themselves,” Langford said. “Homeowners researching a project can treat independent certifications and volume rankings as useful reference points when they compare pool builders across the region.”
Adams added that education is central to the design and permitting process. “Many homeowners begin without a full picture of how material choices, construction timelines, and permitting requirements shape a finished pool,” he said. “Understanding those factors early helps set realistic expectations for a custom project.”
Royal Pools by Adams pool construction services extend across Santa Clara County and the South Bay, including Campbell, Cupertino, Los Altos, Los Gatos, Monte Sereno, San Jose, Santa Clara, and Sunnyvale. The company designs pools tailored to each property, coordinating landscaping, hardscaping, fencing, and outdoor kitchen construction to fit the overall backyard plan. Additional offerings include integrated spa construction with separate temperature controls, water features, and family-oriented designs such as Baja shelves and beach entries.
Royal Pools by Adams maintains showrooms in San Jose and Pleasanton where clients can review materials in person, and the company holds membership in the California Pool & Spa Association and the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance. Beyond residential work, the firm builds commercial aquatic facilities for developers, municipalities, hotels, and recreation centers, and provides pool resurfacing services.
With more than five decades of construction experience in the region, Royal Pools by Adams continues to focus on custom residential pool design and construction for homeowners throughout the Bay Area.
