Why pools

Elegant and Functional Outdoor Water Features

Designing and building an outdoor space that features a swimming area requires careful attention to both form and function. DECOMA Industries creates elegant and efficient water features that transform a backyard into a personal retreat, while also considering safety, durability, and aesthetic value. Every project starts with an understanding of the homeowner’s needs and the existing landscape, whether the goal is a family-friendly pool for recreation or a sleek, modern design for entertaining guests. The team ensures that each water feature blends seamlessly with the home’s architecture, creating a space that feels natural, inviting, and luxurious.

Efficient Pool Design Solutions

Material selection, layout, and advanced systems such as filtration and heating are all carefully planned to optimize the use of the space and ensure longevity. From natural stone features and custom tiles to integrated lighting and water elements, each component is designed to elevate the beauty of the pool area. Additionally, consideration is given to energy-efficient solutions and low-maintenance technologies, allowing homeowners to enjoy their outdoor oasis without excessive upkeep. These projects not only increase the home’s value but also offer a functional space that can be enjoyed year-round, creating a perfect blend of comfort, leisure, and visual appeal.

FAQ

Common questions.

Are you licensed for commercial pool work?
Yes. DECOMA holds CSLB Class A and B licenses (#375508). For commercial pool work in LA County, we also coordinate the LA County Public Health Department plan-check and operating permit, which apartments and HOAs are required to maintain.
How long does an apartment pool renovation take?
Replaster only: 3-4 weeks (pool out of service). Full renovation with retile, replumb, equipment upgrade: 6-10 weeks. We coordinate with property management on tenant notice, fence access, and the pool reopening schedule.
What about VGB compliance on older commercial pools?
The federal Pool & Spa Safety Act (VGB) requires anti-entrapment drain covers on every commercial pool. Single-drain pools also need SVRS (Safety Vacuum Release System) or conversion to dual drain. Many older apartment pools in the South Bay still aren't compliant — we upgrade them and document for LA County Public Health.
Do you do ADA pool lift installation?
Yes. Permanently-installed pool lifts compliant with ADA Title III, anchored per manufacturer spec, with the right transfer area and clear floor space. Required at commercial pools serving the public — apartment complexes vary by usage.
Can you work on commercial spas and hot tubs?
Yes — commercial spas have stricter equipment requirements (separate filtration, antimicrobial, mandated turnover rate of 30 minutes vs 6 hours for pools). We renovate and replace commercial spas as part of larger HOA and multifamily projects.
Do you offer ongoing pool maintenance contracts?
We design and build; for ongoing service we hand off to vetted local pool service companies and stay involved on warranty issues. For commercial repeat clients we coordinate the service handoff so the same company handles maintenance across multiple properties.
