What a Swimming pool contractor (C-53) license covers

Swimming Pool (C-53) covers building and repairing swimming pools, spas and hot tubs, including excavation, forms, plumbing and equipment that are part of the pool.

Note: C-53 is pool construction and repair. Routine pool cleaning (skimming, brushing, chemicals) generally isn't licensed by CSLB; equipment and plumbing repair is contractor work. Under California's minor-work exemption, jobs under $1,000 (labor and materials combined) that need no building permit generally don't require a CSLB license.
