Gunite Pool Construction Process

From Vision to Reality

We start with your property and your vision. During our consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, assess your space, and explain what’s realistic within your timeline and budget. No surprises, no pressure to decide on the spot.

Once you’re ready to move forward, we handle the permits and scheduling. Excavation comes first, followed by the steel framework that gives your pool its shape and strength. The gunite application is where your pool really takes form – we spray the concrete mixture that creates the shell.

After the gunite cures, we install your chosen finishes, equipment, and any custom features. The final steps include startup, water balancing, and walking you through everything you need to know about your new pool. You’ll have our contact information for any questions that come up later.

Gunite Swimming Pool Features

Built for Long Island Living

Your gunite pool includes professional-grade equipment designed for our climate and usage patterns. We use variable-speed pumps, efficient filtration systems, and automation options that make maintenance straightforward rather than overwhelming.

The construction process accounts for Long Island’s specific challenges. Proper drainage, freeze-resistant plumbing, and reinforcement designed for our soil conditions are standard, not upgrades. We’ve learned what works here and what doesn’t.

Custom features integrate seamlessly because gunite construction allows for them. Whether you want a spa, beach entry, or unique lighting, these elements become part of the structure rather than add-ons that might fail over time. Your pool is designed as a complete system, not a collection of separate components.

Most gunite pool projects in North Babylon take 8-12 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. The gunite application itself happens in one day, but it needs time to cure properly before we can continue with finishing work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during planning and keep you updated if anything changes. Spring and summer are our busiest seasons, so starting the planning process early helps ensure your preferred timeline.
Gunite offers unlimited design flexibility and superior durability, especially important in Long Island’s climate. Unlike fiberglass pools that come in preset shapes, gunite is applied wet and forms to any configuration you want. It handles freeze-thaw cycles better than other materials and can be resurfaced when needed rather than completely replaced. The initial investment is higher, but gunite pools typically last 50+ years with proper maintenance, making them more cost-effective long-term than pools that need replacement every 15-20 years.
Yes, gunite pools require building permits in North Babylon, and we handle the entire permit process for you. Requirements include setback distances from property lines, safety barriers, and sometimes health department approvals. If you have an HOA, they may have additional requirements we need to address. We’re familiar with local regulations and will ensure everything is properly permitted before we start construction. This protects you from potential issues when you sell your home or need inspections later.
Gunite pool costs in North Babylon typically range from $60,000 to $120,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start at the lower end, while custom shapes with spas, waterfalls, or complex features cost more. Site access, soil conditions, and utility locations also affect pricing. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs so you know exactly what you’re paying for. Financing options are available, and we’ll work with you to design a pool that fits your budget without compromising on quality.
Gunite pools need regular chemical balancing, cleaning, and equipment maintenance, but they’re not high-maintenance if set up properly. Weekly water testing and chemical adjustments keep water clear and safe. The gunite surface itself is durable and doesn’t require special care, though it may need resurfacing every 15-20 years depending on usage and water chemistry. We’ll teach you basic maintenance during startup and can recommend local service companies if you prefer professional maintenance. Proper initial water balancing and equipment setup make ongoing care much easier.
Gunite pools can be built during most of the year in North Babylon, but timing affects the process. Spring through fall offers the best conditions, while winter construction requires special considerations for concrete curing and excavation. We typically avoid gunite applications when temperatures drop below freezing, but excavation and prep work can continue in mild winter weather. Starting your project in late winter or early spring means completion by summer swimming season. We’ll recommend the best timing based on your specific project and local weather patterns.
