Custom Gunite Pool Installation

What You Get With Gunite

You get a pool that’s built into your yard permanently. No liner replacements every few years. No worrying about punctures or tears.

Gunite construction means your pool becomes part of your property’s foundation. The concrete shell can handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or shifting like other materials might.

Your pool shape isn’t limited by pre-made molds. Want a kidney shape that fits around your deck? Need shallow areas for kids and deep ends for diving? Gunite lets you build exactly what works for your space and family.

We Know Long Island Pools

JAS Aquatics has been building custom pools for Bohemia and Suffolk County homeowners who want quality work done right the first time.

You’re not getting a crew that disappears halfway through your project. You’re working with local contractors who understand New York building codes, soil conditions, and what it takes to build pools that survive our winters.

Every gunite pool installation we complete includes proper permits, inspections, and the kind of attention to detail that comes from years of experience in this market.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

Here's How We Build It

First, we design your pool based on your yard, your budget, and how you want to use it. No cookie-cutter approaches. We measure everything, check for utilities, and create plans that work.

Next comes excavation and steel reinforcement. We dig your pool shape and install a grid of rebar that gives the concrete its strength. This framework is what makes gunite pools so durable.

Then we spray the gunite mixture over the steel framework using high-pressure equipment. This creates a solid concrete shell that’s stronger than poured concrete. After curing, we add your chosen finish, install equipment, and handle all the final details.

Luxury Gunite Pool Designs

What's Included In Your Project

Your gunite pool installation covers everything from initial design through final startup. We handle permits, excavation, steel installation, gunite application, plumbing, electrical, and equipment setup.

You choose your interior finish – plaster, pebble, or tile. We install your filtration system, heating equipment, and lighting. Safety features like fencing and covers are coordinated with your local requirements.

Bohemia homeowners often add features like built-in spas, waterfalls, or custom lighting during construction. It’s easier and more cost-effective to include these elements while we’re building rather than retrofitting later.

How long does gunite pool installation take in Bohemia?

Most gunite pool projects take 8-12 weeks from start to finish, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. The actual gunite application happens in one day, but proper curing takes time. We excavate first, install steel reinforcement, spray the gunite, then handle plumbing, electrical, and finishing work. Long Island’s seasonal weather can affect scheduling, so spring and summer projects typically move faster than fall installations. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.

What's the difference between gunite and shotcrete pools?

Gunite and shotcrete are both concrete application methods, but gunite mixes dry ingredients at the nozzle while shotcrete arrives pre-mixed. Both create durable concrete shells, but gunite gives installers more control over the mixture during application. The end result is essentially the same – a permanent concrete pool shell that’s stronger than poured concrete. Some contractors prefer one method over the other, but both produce quality results when applied by experienced crews. What matters more is proper steel reinforcement and allowing adequate curing time.

How much do custom gunite pools cost in Bohemia?

Gunite pool costs vary widely based on size, shape, features, and site conditions. Basic gunite pools start around $50,000-60,000, while luxury installations with spas, waterfalls, and premium finishes can exceed $100,000. Your specific cost depends on excavation difficulty, required permits, equipment choices, and finishing materials. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront. Remember that gunite pools typically cost more initially than vinyl liner pools but require less long-term maintenance and last much longer.

Do gunite pools crack in Long Island winters?

Properly built gunite pools handle freeze-thaw cycles very well when constructed with adequate steel reinforcement and proper concrete thickness. The key is professional installation that accounts for local soil conditions and drainage. We use steel rebar grids that give the concrete flexibility to handle ground movement. Problems typically occur when pools are built without enough reinforcement or when water isn’t properly winterized. With correct construction and seasonal maintenance, gunite pools in our area regularly last 50+ years without structural issues.

Can you add features to existing gunite pools?

Yes, gunite pools can be modified and upgraded more easily than other pool types. We can add spas, water features, new lighting, or updated equipment to existing gunite pools. The concrete shell can be cut and modified if needed, though it’s always more cost-effective to include desired features during initial construction. Pool resurfacing is also straightforward with gunite – you can update the interior finish without rebuilding the entire structure. This flexibility is one reason many homeowners choose gunite over other construction methods.

What permits do I need for a gunite pool in Bohemia?

Bohemia pool installations require building permits from the Town of Islip, and we handle the permit application process for you. You’ll also need electrical permits for pool equipment and lighting. Some properties require additional approvals for setback variances or if you’re in special zoning areas. We coordinate with local inspectors throughout construction to ensure everything meets current codes. Safety requirements include proper fencing, pool covers, and GFCI electrical protection. Having experienced local contractors handle permits saves you time and ensures compliance with all current regulations.
