What You Get With Gunite

You get a pool that’s actually built for your life. Not some cookie-cutter design that looks like every other backyard in the neighborhood.

Gunite pools give you complete freedom. Want that perfect curve that follows your deck line? Done. Need a shallow end that works for the kids and a deep end for serious swimming? No problem. Planning to add a spa later? We build it in from the start.

The real benefit is durability. While other pool types crack under New York’s freeze-thaw cycles, gunite pools are built like fortresses. Steel rebar framework. Pneumatically applied concrete. Waterproof finishes that actually stay waterproof. You’re looking at a pool that’ll outlast your mortgage.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

How We Build Your Pool

First, we design your pool around your property and your priorities. Site visit, measurements, soil analysis. We map out utilities, drainage, and access routes before anything gets approved.

Once permits are pulled and weather cooperates, excavation begins. We dig to exact specifications, accounting for your specific soil conditions and drainage needs. Then comes the steel rebar framework – the skeleton that gives gunite pools their legendary strength.

The gunite application happens in one day. Our crews pneumatically spray concrete over the rebar framework at high velocity, creating the strongest possible shell. After curing, we apply your chosen finish, install equipment, and fill your pool. Final inspections, water balancing, and you’re swimming.

Gunite Pool Design Options

What's Included In Your Project

Every gunite pool project includes complete design services, permit handling, and construction management. You get detailed drawings, 3D renderings, and material specifications before we break ground.

Construction includes excavation, steel reinforcement, gunite application, plumbing, electrical, equipment installation, and your choice of interior finish. We handle inspections, startup, and water balancing. Your pool comes with written warranties on structure and equipment.

Optional upgrades include heating systems, automation, LED lighting, water features, and integrated spas. We coordinate with landscapers, deck builders, and other contractors to complete your entire outdoor space. Most Hillside Manor projects are completed within 8-12 weeks, weather permitting.

How long does gunite pool construction take in New York?

Most gunite pools in Hillside Manor take 8-12 weeks from excavation to swimming, but New York weather is the biggest variable. We can’t pour gunite in freezing temperatures, and heavy rain delays excavation and finishing work. Spring starts (April-May) typically finish faster because we have consistent weather through summer. Projects starting in late summer risk weather delays as we approach fall. We provide realistic timelines based on your start date and build buffer time into every schedule.

What permits do I need for a gunite pool in Hillside Manor?

You’ll need a building permit from the local municipality, and possibly additional permits for electrical and plumbing work. Most areas also require fence permits if you’re adding pool fencing. Some neighborhoods have HOA approvals required before municipal permits. We handle the entire permit process as part of our service, including drawings, applications, and inspection scheduling. Permit approval typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on local workload and whether any variances are needed for setbacks or lot coverage.

How do gunite pools handle New York winters?

Gunite pools are built specifically to handle freeze-thaw cycles that destroy other pool types. The steel-reinforced concrete shell flexes with ground movement without cracking. Proper winterization is still essential – we lower water levels, blow out plumbing lines, and add winter chemicals. Most equipment gets shut down and covered. The pool structure itself suffers no damage from freezing temperatures. We provide complete winterization service and spring opening to ensure your pool survives every winter without issues.

How much does a custom gunite pool cost in Hillside Manor?

Gunite pools in the Hillside Manor area typically range from $75,000 to $150,000 depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start around $75,000. Custom shapes, integrated spas, water features, and premium finishes increase costs. Difficult access, rock excavation, or complex utility relocations add to base pricing. We provide detailed written estimates after site evaluation so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available for qualified buyers.

What maintenance does a gunite pool require?

Daily maintenance involves skimming debris and checking chemical levels. Weekly tasks include vacuuming, brushing walls, and testing water balance. Monthly equipment inspection and filter cleaning keep everything running efficiently. Seasonal maintenance includes opening and closing procedures for New York winters. Gunite pools actually require less maintenance than vinyl or fiberglass because the surface doesn’t harbor algae like other materials. Most homeowners spend 15-20 minutes per week on basic maintenance, or hire pool service companies for $100-150 monthly.

Can I add features to my gunite pool later?

Some features can be added after construction, but it’s much more expensive than building them in originally. LED lighting, automation systems, and pool heaters can be retrofitted fairly easily. Adding water features, spas, or changing pool depth requires major reconstruction. The smart approach is planning your ultimate pool vision upfront, even if you phase the construction. We can rough in plumbing and electrical for future features, making later additions much simpler and cheaper than starting from scratch.
