Custom Gunite Pool Installation

What You Get With Gunite

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a backyard that finally works the way you want it to.

Gunite construction means your pool can be any shape, any size, any depth. No cookie-cutter designs or “close enough” compromises. Your sloped yard, your tight space, your specific vision – none of that matters. We build around what you have and what you want.

The construction process uses steel rebar and pneumatically applied concrete, creating a shell that’s built to handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles for decades. While vinyl liners need replacement every 7-10 years and fiberglass pools crack, your gunite pool becomes more durable over time.

You’ll have a pool that increases your property value, gives your family a place to actually want to spend time, and handles whatever weather East Moriches throws at it. No regrets, no do-overs needed.

East Moriches Pool Contractors

We Know Long Island Pools

We’ve been building custom gunite pools across Long Island for years, and we understand what works in East Moriches. The soil conditions, the local codes, the weather patterns that affect construction timing.

We’re not the biggest pool company on Long Island, and we’re not trying to be. We focus on doing the work right the first time, using quality materials and proven construction methods that hold up to our climate.

Our team handles everything from initial design through final startup, so you’re not coordinating between different contractors or dealing with finger-pointing when something needs attention.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

How We Build Your Pool

The process starts with a site visit to assess your space, discuss your vision, and handle any permit requirements specific to East Moriches. We’ll walk through design options that work with your property and budget.

Excavation comes next, followed by steel rebar installation to create the structural framework. Then comes the gunite application – pneumatically sprayed concrete that forms the pool shell. This cures for several days while we handle plumbing and electrical rough-ins.

After the shell cures, we install your chosen finish, whether that’s plaster, aggregate, or tile. Equipment installation, decking work, and final startup complete the process. Most gunite pools take 6-10 weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity.

We keep you updated throughout each phase and handle inspections so you don’t have to deal with the bureaucracy.

Your pool comes with comprehensive warranties on both construction and equipment, plus startup service and water balancing to get everything running correctly from day one.

How long does gunite pool construction take in East Moriches?

Most gunite pools take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, but Long Island weather can affect timing. Spring and fall construction may take longer due to rain delays and temperature requirements for proper concrete curing. We schedule projects to account for seasonal factors and keep you updated on any delays. The actual construction time depends on pool size, complexity of features, and any custom work like spas or water features. We provide realistic timelines upfront and don’t rush critical steps like curing just to meet arbitrary deadlines.

What's the difference between gunite and other pool types?

Gunite pools use steel-reinforced concrete sprayed pneumatically to create a custom shell, while fiberglass pools are pre-manufactured shells and vinyl pools use liner systems. Gunite offers unlimited design flexibility – any shape, depth, or size your property allows. The construction is also more durable, typically lasting 50+ years compared to 15-25 for fiberglass and 7-10 years before vinyl liners need replacement. The trade-off is longer construction time and higher upfront cost, but you get a truly custom pool that’s built to last through Long Island’s weather cycles.

How much does a gunite pool cost in East Moriches?

Gunite pool costs vary widely based on size, features, and site conditions, typically ranging from $50,000 to $150,000+ for custom installations. Factors affecting price include excavation difficulty, pool size and depth, interior finish choice, decking materials, and equipment selection. East Moriches properties sometimes require additional drainage work or access considerations that affect total cost. We provide detailed estimates after assessing your specific site and requirements, breaking down costs so you understand what you’re paying for. Financing options are available for qualified buyers.

Do I need permits for a gunite pool in East Moriches?

Yes, gunite pool installation requires building permits from the Town of Brookhaven, which governs East Moriches. You’ll need permits for excavation, construction, plumbing, and electrical work. The process also requires setback compliance, safety barrier installation, and final inspections before approval. We handle all permit applications and coordinate inspections throughout the project, so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy. The permit process typically takes 2-4 weeks, which we account for in project scheduling. Some properties may require additional approvals if you’re in a historic district or have environmental considerations.

What maintenance does a gunite pool require?

Gunite pools require regular chemical balancing, skimming, and filter cleaning like any pool, but the concrete shell itself needs minimal maintenance. The interior finish may need acid washing every few years and resurfacing every 10-15 years depending on use and water chemistry. Equipment maintenance includes pump servicing, filter replacement, and seasonal winterization for Long Island’s climate. Most owners spend 2-3 hours weekly on basic maintenance or hire a service company. We provide startup training and can recommend reliable local pool service companies if you prefer professional maintenance.

Can gunite pools be built year-round in East Moriches?

Gunite pool construction is weather-dependent and typically runs from April through November in East Moriches. Concrete curing requires temperatures above 40°F for several consecutive days, making winter construction impractical. The ideal construction window is late spring through early fall when weather is most predictable. We can do design work and permitting during winter months to start construction as soon as conditions allow. Planning ahead ensures better scheduling and avoids the rush of peak construction season when contractors and materials are in highest demand.
