What You Get With Gunite

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a backyard that finally works the way you’ve always pictured it.

Gunite construction means your pool can be any shape, any size, with any features you want. That curved edge that follows your patio line? Done. The built-in spa that connects seamlessly? No problem. The shallow play area for kids that gradually deepens for adult swimming? Exactly what gunite does best.

Here’s what matters most: this pool will still look and function beautifully decades from now. While your neighbors deal with liner replacements and fiberglass repairs, you’ll be swimming in the same stunning pool that gets better with age. Gunite pools increase your property value more than any other type, and they handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without the cracking and shifting issues you see with other materials.

Gunite Pool Contractors Amityville

We Build Pools That Last

JAS Aquatics has been building custom gunite pools across Long Island for years, and we’ve learned what works in our climate and what doesn’t.

We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. You’re investing in proper excavation, quality steel reinforcement, and gunite application techniques that prevent the problems we see other contractors create. Our pools don’t develop cracks in year three or require major repairs before you’ve even paid them off.

Every project gets proper permits, inspections, and the kind of attention to detail that keeps customers referring their neighbors. We work in Amityville and throughout Nassau County because we understand local soil conditions, building codes, and the specific challenges Long Island weather creates for pool construction.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

How We Build Your Pool

First, we design your pool around your space, your family’s needs, and your budget. No cookie-cutter shapes or features you don’t want. We handle all permits and utility markings before any digging starts.

Excavation comes next, followed by plumbing and electrical rough-ins. Then we build the steel framework that gives your pool its shape and strength. This is where gunite construction really shines – we can create curves, benches, steps, and features that other pool types simply can’t match.

The gunite application is where experience matters most. We spray the concrete mixture over the steel framework in layers, creating a solid, monolithic shell that’s incredibly strong and completely waterproof. After curing, we apply your chosen finish – plaster, aggregate, or tile – and install your equipment. The entire process typically takes 6-8 weeks, depending on size and complexity.

Luxury Gunite Pool Features

What's Included In Your Project

Your gunite pool project includes complete design, engineering, and construction from excavation to final cleanup. We handle all permits, inspections, and utility coordination so you don’t have to navigate those headaches.

The construction includes proper excavation, steel reinforcement, gunite application, plumbing, electrical, equipment installation, and your choice of interior finish. We also include basic coping and decking to get your pool area functional, though many customers choose to upgrade these elements.

What sets our gunite pools apart is the ability to incorporate custom features during construction. Built-in spas, swim-up bars, beach entries, waterfalls, grottos, and custom lighting can all be integrated seamlessly. These aren’t add-ons bolted to your pool later – they’re part of the original structure, which means they look better and last longer. We also include proper winterization equipment and training, because Long Island pools need to be closed correctly to prevent freeze damage.

How long do gunite pools last compared to other types?

Properly built gunite pools regularly last 50+ years with routine maintenance, significantly longer than vinyl liner pools that need replacement every 7-10 years or fiberglass pools that can develop stress cracks over time. The concrete shell is permanent – you might refinish the interior surface every 15-20 years, but the structural pool itself is built to last generations. This longevity is why gunite pools typically provide better long-term value despite higher upfront costs, and why they add more to your property value than other pool types.

What makes gunite better for Long Island's climate?

Gunite handles freeze-thaw cycles much better than other pool materials because it’s a monolithic concrete structure that moves as one piece. Vinyl liners can tear when ground shifts, and fiberglass can crack under pressure, but properly reinforced gunite flexes without breaking. We also build with Long Island’s soil conditions in mind – our steel reinforcement and concrete mix are designed for the ground movement and water table issues common in our area. The key is proper construction techniques and adequate steel reinforcement, which is why choosing experienced local contractors matters so much.

How much does a custom gunite pool cost in Amityville?

Custom gunite pools in our area typically range from $75,000 to $150,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start at the lower end, while pools with spas, waterfalls, custom shapes, or challenging access fall toward the higher end. The wide range reflects how truly custom these projects are – your final cost depends on your specific design, soil conditions, permit requirements, and feature choices. We provide detailed written estimates after evaluating your property and understanding your goals, so you know exactly what you’re investing in before construction begins.

How long does gunite pool construction take from start to finish?

Most gunite pool projects take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion, though complex designs or challenging site conditions can extend this timeline. Weather also affects scheduling – we can’t pour gunite in freezing temperatures or heavy rain. The process isn’t rushed because each step needs proper curing time, especially the gunite application and interior finish work. We typically recommend starting your project in early spring if you want to swim by summer, as peak construction season fills up quickly. Permit approval can add 2-4 weeks to the front end, which is why early planning matters.

Can you add features like spas or waterfalls to gunite pools?

This is where gunite really excels – virtually any feature can be integrated during construction because we’re building a custom concrete structure from scratch. Attached spas, waterfalls, grottos, swim-up bars, beach entries, built-in seating, and custom lighting are all common additions. The key advantage is that these features are part of the original structure, not aftermarket add-ons, so they look seamless and last as long as the pool itself. We design these features into the original plan and build them during construction, which is more cost-effective than trying to add them later.

Do I need special permits for a gunite pool in Amityville?

Yes, gunite pools require building permits in Amityville, and the process involves plan submission, inspections during construction, and final approval before you can fill the pool. We handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections – electrical, plumbing, and final structural – so you don’t have to navigate town requirements yourself. Some properties also need variance approvals for setback requirements or have HOA restrictions to consider. We review these requirements during initial consultation and factor permit timelines into your project schedule, typically adding 2-4 weeks to the front end of construction.
