What You Get With Gunite

You get a pool that’s built into your property, not just dropped onto it. Gunite construction means your pool becomes part of your landscape – shaped exactly how you want it, where you want it.

The concrete shell cures underwater-strong, handling Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without the cracking you see with other materials. Your pool will look the same in twenty years as it does the day we finish it.

No cookie-cutter shapes. No size limitations. If you can imagine it, gunite can build it. Infinity edges, beach entries, integrated spas, custom benches – the design is entirely yours.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

How We Build Your Pool

First, we design your pool around your space and your family’s needs. You’ll see exactly what we’re building before we break ground – 3D renderings, material specifications, timeline.

Excavation happens fast, usually within a day or two. We hand-dig around utilities and landscaping you want to keep. The steel reinforcement framework goes in next – this is what gives gunite its strength.

The gunite application is where the magic happens. We spray the concrete mixture under high pressure, creating a solid shell that’s stronger than poured concrete. After curing, we apply your chosen finish – plaster, pebble, or tile.

Plumbing, electrical, and equipment installation follow. We test everything twice before filling your pool. You get a complete walkthrough of all systems and maintenance requirements before we consider the job finished.

Luxury Gunite Pool Features

What's Included In Your Build

Your gunite pool installation includes complete design services, all permits and inspections, professional excavation, steel reinforcement, gunite application, and your choice of interior finish. We handle the plumbing rough-in, electrical connections, and equipment installation.

Every pool gets energy-efficient circulation systems sized for your specific design. We install variable-speed pumps, automated chemical systems, and LED lighting as standard. Safety features like proper drain covers and emergency shut-offs are included, not add-ons.

Middle Island’s sandy soil actually works in your favor – it drains well and excavates cleanly. We know which areas of town have high water tables and how to handle them. Your pool will be properly engineered for local conditions, not built from a generic template.

Most gunite pool projects take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size and complexity. Weather can extend timelines during spring and fall months. The gunite application itself happens in one day, but it needs 28 days to fully cure before we can apply the interior finish. We schedule around Long Island’s permit inspection requirements, which typically add 1-2 weeks to the overall timeline. Custom features like waterfalls or integrated spas can add additional time, but we’ll give you exact timelines during the design phase.
You’ll need a building permit from the Town of Brookhaven, electrical permits for pool equipment and lighting, and possibly a fence permit depending on your current property setup. If you’re in a homeowner’s association, you’ll need their approval before we can pull permits. We handle all permit applications and scheduling of required inspections – you don’t need to deal with the town directly. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, which is why we start it before any construction begins. All permits must be approved and posted before excavation can start.
Gunite pools in Middle Island typically range from $75,000 to $150,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic 16×32 rectangular pool with standard equipment runs around $85,000-$95,000. Custom shapes, integrated spas, waterfalls, and premium finishes increase costs. Your lot’s accessibility, existing landscaping, and utility locations also affect pricing. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost – no surprises or hidden fees. Financing options are available for qualified homeowners, and remember that a well-built gunite pool typically adds 7-15% to your home’s value.
Gunite offers complete design flexibility and superior durability, especially in Long Island’s climate. Unlike fiberglass pools, which come in pre-made shells with size limitations, gunite pools are built specifically for your space in any shape or size you want. Vinyl liner pools require liner replacement every 7-10 years at $4,000-$6,000 each time. Gunite pools can last decades with just periodic resurfacing every 15-20 years. The concrete shell won’t shift, crack, or pop out of the ground like other pool types can. For Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles, gunite is the most reliable long-term choice.
Daily maintenance involves checking chemical levels and skimming debris – about 10-15 minutes. Weekly tasks include vacuuming, brushing walls, and cleaning the skimmer baskets. Most homeowners either handle this themselves or hire a weekly service for $100-$150 per month during swim season. The gunite shell itself requires minimal maintenance – just periodic acid washing and resurfacing every 15-20 years. Equipment like pumps and heaters need annual professional servicing. We provide complete maintenance training and can recommend reliable local service companies if you prefer professional care.
Gunite pool construction typically runs from April through October on Long Island. We can’t spray gunite when temperatures drop below 40°F or during freezing conditions – the concrete won’t cure properly. Winter months are perfect for design and permitting, so spring construction can start immediately when weather permits. We book projects year-round but schedule construction for optimal weather windows. Starting your project planning in winter means you’ll be swimming by summer. Emergency repairs and equipment work can happen year-round, but new construction follows seasonal schedules for best results.
