What You Get With Gunite Construction

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a permanent addition to your property that’s built exactly how you want it.

Gunite pools give you complete design freedom. Want a kidney shape that fits perfectly around your existing patio? Done. Need a shallow area for kids and a deep end for diving? No problem. Unlike fiberglass pools that come in predetermined shapes, gunite construction means your pool matches your vision, not the other way around.

The durability factor matters more than most people realize upfront. We’re talking about a structure that will handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles for decades without cracking or shifting. Your neighbors with vinyl liner pools will be replacing liners every 8-10 years. You’ll be enjoying the same solid concrete shell.

Gunite Pool Installation Process

Here's How Your Pool Gets Built

First, we’ll come out to look at your space and talk through what you want. We’ll discuss size, shape, features, and any challenges your yard might present. You’ll get a detailed proposal that breaks down exactly what’s included.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and schedule the excavation. The hole gets dug according to your custom design, then we install the plumbing and electrical rough-ins. Next comes the steel rebar framework that gives your pool its structural strength.

The gunite application is where your pool really takes shape. We spray the concrete mixture over the rebar framework, creating the shell of your pool. After curing, we apply your chosen finish – plaster, aggregate, or tile. Finally, we install your equipment, fill the pool, and balance the water chemistry.

The whole process typically takes 6-8 weeks from start to finish, weather permitting. We’ll keep you updated throughout so you know exactly where things stand.

Luxury Gunite Pool Features

What's Included in Your Pool Project

Every gunite pool we build includes the excavation, steel reinforcement, gunite application, plumbing, electrical, standard plaster finish, and basic equipment package. That’s your complete swimming pool, ready to use.

From there, you can add features that make sense for your family. Popular upgrades include colored plaster or aggregate finishes, LED lighting systems, heating equipment, automatic covers, and water features like fountains or spillovers.

We also handle the surrounding work that makes your pool area complete. Concrete decking, coping installation, and basic landscaping coordination so everything looks finished when we’re done. You’re not left figuring out how to connect all the pieces yourself.

How long do gunite pools last compared to other types?

Gunite pools typically last 50+ years with proper maintenance, significantly longer than fiberglass or vinyl liner alternatives. The concrete shell is permanent – you might refinish the surface every 10-15 years, but the structural integrity remains solid for decades. Vinyl liner pools need complete liner replacement every 8-10 years, and fiberglass pools can develop stress cracks over time. With gunite, you’re building once and enjoying it for the long term, which is why most high-end pool installations choose this construction method.

What's the difference between gunite and shotcrete for pool construction?

Both gunite and shotcrete create strong concrete pool shells, but the mixing process differs slightly. Gunite mixes the cement and water at the nozzle during application, while shotcrete pre-mixes everything before spraying. Both methods produce excellent results for pool construction. The key factors are proper steel reinforcement, experienced application crews, and adequate curing time. We use the method that works best for each specific project based on access, weather conditions, and pool design requirements.

How much does a custom gunite pool cost in Floral Park?

Custom gunite pools in the Floral Park area typically range from $60,000 to $120,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic 16×32 rectangular pool with standard finishes starts around $60,000, while larger pools with premium features, complex shapes, or challenging access can exceed $100,000. The investment includes excavation, steel and gunite work, plumbing, electrical, equipment, and basic decking. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what’s included before making any decisions.

Can gunite pools be built in small or oddly shaped yards?

Yes, this is actually where gunite construction shines compared to fiberglass alternatives. Since we’re building your pool on-site rather than delivering a pre-formed shell, we can work with almost any space constraints or unusual lot configurations. We’ve built pools in narrow side yards, around existing trees, and in spaces where fiberglass delivery would be impossible. The key is having enough access for our equipment during construction – typically a 3-foot wide pathway to the backyard. We’ll evaluate your specific situation during the initial consultation and let you know what’s possible.

What maintenance does a gunite pool require compared to other pool types?

Gunite pools require the same basic maintenance as any pool – regular cleaning, chemical balancing, and equipment care. The concrete surface is actually easier to clean than vinyl liners since you can brush more aggressively without damage concerns. You’ll need to resurface the plaster or aggregate finish every 10-15 years depending on usage and water chemistry, but this is still less frequent than vinyl liner replacements. The main advantage is that structural problems are extremely rare with properly built gunite pools, so you’re mainly dealing with routine maintenance rather than repair issues.

How do gunite pools handle Long Island winters and freeze-thaw cycles?

Properly constructed gunite pools handle Northeast winters very well due to the structural strength of steel-reinforced concrete. The key is correct winterization – lowering water levels, blowing out plumbing lines, and adding antifreeze to equipment. The concrete shell itself isn’t damaged by freezing temperatures when properly prepared. This durability in harsh climates is one reason why gunite dominates the pool market in areas with significant seasonal temperature swings. Vinyl liner pools are more susceptible to ice damage, and fiberglass can develop stress cracks from ground movement during freeze-thaw cycles.
