What You Get With Gunite

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a backyard centerpiece that your family will use for decades.

Gunite pools handle everything Long Island throws at them. Freeze-thaw cycles that crack other pool types barely affect properly built gunite. Your pool stays structurally sound through harsh winters and emerges ready for another season.

The design possibilities are endless. Want a kidney shape that fits your sloped yard? No problem. Thinking about a spa attachment or built-in seating? Gunite makes it happen. You’re not stuck with pre-made shapes or limited options like you get with fiberglass.

Your property value gets a real boost too. Well-built gunite pools typically add 5-8% to your home’s value in our area. That’s not just backyard improvement – that’s smart investment.

Gunite Pool Contractors Coram

We Know Long Island Pools

JAS Aquatics has been building gunite pools across Long Island for years. We understand the soil conditions in Coram, the permit requirements in Suffolk County, and exactly what it takes to build pools that last here.

Most pool problems we see come from contractors who don’t understand our local challenges. They use techniques that work fine in Florida but fail when winter hits. We engineer every pool for our climate from day one.

Our team handles everything from initial design through final inspection. You work with the same crew throughout your project, not a revolving door of subcontractors who don’t know your vision.

Gunite Pool Design Process

How Your Pool Gets Built

First, we design your pool around your yard and your family’s needs. No cookie-cutter approaches. We measure your space, discuss your vision, and create detailed plans that work with your property’s unique characteristics.

Next comes excavation and steel installation. This is where experience matters most. We know how to handle Long Island’s varied soil conditions and ensure proper drainage. The steel framework gets positioned exactly according to engineering specifications.

Then we spray the gunite. This isn’t concrete – it’s a specialized mixture that creates incredibly strong, watertight shells. Our crew has years of experience getting the application right. Proper gunite work is both art and science.

Finally, we install your chosen finishes, equipment, and any custom features. Tile, coping, decking, lighting – everything gets coordinated so your pool looks exactly like you envisioned. We handle final inspections and walk you through everything before considering the job complete.

Luxury Gunite Pool Features

What's Included In Your Build

Every gunite pool we build starts with proper engineering for Long Island conditions. That means steel reinforcement designed for our freeze-thaw cycles, drainage systems that handle our weather patterns, and construction techniques proven in our climate.

You get unlimited design flexibility. Curved walls, beach entries, integrated spas, swim-up bars, built-in seating – if you can imagine it, gunite can create it. We’re not limited by pre-formed shells or standard shapes.

Your equipment package includes energy-efficient pumps, proper filtration sized for your pool volume, and automation systems that make maintenance simple. We use commercial-grade components that handle daily use and last for years.

We also handle all permitting and inspections. Suffolk County has specific requirements for pool construction, and we know exactly what’s needed. You don’t have to navigate bureaucracy or worry about code compliance.

Most gunite pool projects take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size and complexity. Weather can affect timing, especially during spring and fall when rain delays are more common. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout construction. The actual gunite application happens in one day, but it needs several weeks to cure properly before we can add finishes. Custom features like spas or elaborate stonework add time but are usually worth the wait.
Gunite offers unlimited design flexibility and superior durability, especially in our Long Island climate. Fiberglass pools come in pre-made shapes that might not fit your yard perfectly, and they can pop out of the ground during freeze-thaw cycles if not installed correctly. Vinyl liners need replacement every 7-10 years and can tear easily. Gunite pools are essentially permanent structures that can be resurfaced when needed but don’t require regular replacement of major components. You also get complete customization – any shape, any depth, any features you want.
Gunite pools in our area typically range from $50,000 to $150,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start around $50-60K, while elaborate custom designs with spas, waterfalls, and premium finishes can exceed $100K. Your specific cost depends on factors like excavation difficulty, chosen finishes, equipment packages, and custom features. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your property and discussing your vision. Financing options are available for qualified buyers.
Absolutely, when built correctly. Gunite pools are actually ideal for our climate because the concrete shell flexes slightly with freeze-thaw cycles without cracking. We engineer every pool with proper steel reinforcement and drainage to handle winter conditions. The key is proper winterization – we’ll teach you the process or handle it through our maintenance service. Many of our customers have had their gunite pools for 20+ years with minimal winter-related issues. The durability is one of the main reasons we recommend gunite over other pool types in our area.
You’ll need a building permit from Suffolk County, which requires detailed construction plans and engineering specifications. If you have a septic system, additional approvals may be required to ensure proper setbacks. Some neighborhoods have HOA restrictions on pool placement and design that we help navigate. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service. The permit process typically takes 2-4 weeks, which is why we start paperwork early in the design phase. Having experienced contractors handle permits prevent delays and ensures code compliance.
Yes, that’s one of gunite’s biggest advantages. We can integrate spas, waterfalls, swim-up bars, beach entries, built-in seating, and virtually any other feature you can imagine. These elements are built into the structure during construction, not added afterward, which creates seamless integration and better durability. Popular additions in our area include attached spas (great for extending the season), LED lighting systems, and natural stone waterfalls. We design these features as part of your original pool plan to ensure proper plumbing, electrical, and structural support.
