Built Right, Built to Last

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re investing in decades of family memories, increased home value, and the kind of backyard that makes neighbors stop and stare.

Gunite pools give you what other pool types can’t – complete design freedom. Want a kidney shape with an integrated spa? Done. Thinking about a geometric design with a tanning ledge and waterfall? No problem. Your backyard, your vision, your way.

The real payoff comes years down the road. While your neighbors are dealing with vinyl liner replacements or fiberglass repairs, you’ll be enjoying the same beautiful pool that’s only gotten better with age. That’s the gunite difference – a pool that appreciates instead of depreciates.

Gunite Swimming Pool Features

Everything You Want, Nothing You Don't

Your gunite pool installation includes everything needed for years of enjoyment. Professional excavation and grading ensure proper drainage and structural integrity. The gunite shell application creates a rock-solid foundation that won’t shift, crack, or deteriorate like other pool types.

Premium plumbing and electrical systems are installed to code, with energy-efficient equipment that keeps operating costs reasonable. You’ll get proper filtration, heating options, and lighting systems designed specifically for your pool’s size and features.

The finishing touches make all the difference. Choose from premium plaster finishes, natural stone coping, or decorative tile work that reflects your personal style. Every detail is handled by experienced craftsmen who take pride in their work and understand what Long Island homeowners expect.

Most gunite pool projects in Fort Salonga take 8-12 weeks from start to finish, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. The timeline includes permit approval, excavation, gunite application, plumbing and electrical work, and final finishing. Spring and summer installations may take longer due to higher demand, so planning ahead helps ensure your pool is ready when you want it. JAS Aquatics provides detailed timelines upfront and keeps you updated throughout the process, so you always know what to expect next.
Gunite pools offer complete design flexibility – any shape, size, or depth you want. Unlike fiberglass pools that come in predetermined shapes, or vinyl pools with limited design options, gunite can be formed to fit your exact vision and yard layout. They’re also the most durable option, lasting 50+ years with proper maintenance. While vinyl liners need replacement every 7-10 years and fiberglass can crack or fade, gunite pools actually improve with age and can be resurfaced to look brand new whenever you want a fresh appearance.
Gunite pool costs in Fort Salonga typically range from $60,000 to $150,000+, depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start at the lower end, while custom shapes with spas, waterfalls, and premium finishes cost more. The investment includes excavation, gunite shell, plumbing, electrical, equipment, and basic decking. Additional features like outdoor kitchens, fire pits, or extensive landscaping add to the total. JAS Aquatics provides detailed estimates upfront with no hidden surprises, so you can make informed decisions about your investment.
Properly constructed gunite pools are designed to handle Long Island’s winter conditions without cracking. The key is professional installation with proper steel reinforcement, correct gunite mixture, and adequate curing time. JAS Aquatics uses techniques specifically developed for Northeast climates, including proper depth below the frost line and reinforcement patterns that accommodate ground movement. Proper winterization is also crucial – closing the pool correctly and maintaining appropriate water levels prevent freeze damage that could cause structural issues.
Fort Salonga requires building permits for all inground pool installations, including setback approvals, electrical permits, and sometimes health department approvals for waste water discharge. The permit process typically takes 2-4 weeks and includes plan review, site inspections, and final approval. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service, ensuring everything meets local codes and regulations. We’re familiar with Fort Salonga’s specific requirements and work directly with town officials to keep your project moving smoothly through the approval process.
While some features can be added after initial construction, it’s much more cost-effective to include them during the original build. Spas, waterfalls, and lighting systems require plumbing and electrical work that’s easiest to install during construction. However, gunite’s flexibility does allow for some modifications – additional lighting, upgraded equipment, or surface refinishing can be done anytime. We recommend planning for features you might want in the future, even if you don’t install them immediately, by including the necessary rough plumbing and electrical during initial construction.
