Gunite Pool Construction Process

Here's Exactly What Happens

First, we meet at your house to discuss your vision and measure your space. We’ll talk about what you want, what’s possible, and what permits we need. You’ll get a detailed proposal that breaks down every cost.

Once you approve the design, we handle all permits and scheduling. We excavate your pool area, install the plumbing and electrical systems, then build the steel reinforcement framework. This is the skeleton that makes gunite pools so strong.

Next comes the gunite application. We spray the concrete mixture over the steel framework under high pressure, creating the shell of your pool. After it cures, we install your chosen finish, tile, and coping. Finally, we fill it up, balance the water chemistry, and walk you through everything you need to know about your new pool.

Gunite Swimming Pool Features

Built Exactly How You Want

Every gunite pool we install includes professional excavation, steel reinforcement, high-pressure concrete application, and your choice of interior finish. We handle all plumbing, electrical work, and equipment installation as part of the base package.

You can add custom features like built-in spas, waterfalls, LED lighting systems, or heating equipment. The concrete construction means we can create bench seating, swim-up bars, or any other custom feature you want. North Bay Shore homeowners often choose saltwater systems and variable-speed pumps for lower maintenance and operating costs.

We also include startup services, water balancing, and a complete walkthrough of your pool equipment. You’ll know exactly how everything works before we consider the job finished.

How long does gunite pool installation take in North Bay Shore?

Most gunite pool installations take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size and custom features. Weather can affect the timeline since concrete needs proper curing conditions. We excavate and install plumbing in the first week, spray gunite in week two, then allow 4-6 weeks for curing and finishing work. Complex designs with multiple features may take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.

What permits do I need for a gunite pool in North Bay Shore?

You’ll need a building permit from the Town of Islip, plus electrical and plumbing permits for the equipment installation. If your pool is close to property lines, you may need a variance. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service, so you don’t have to deal with the paperwork or scheduling. We know exactly what North Bay Shore requires and have relationships with local inspectors to keep your project moving smoothly.

How much does a custom gunite pool cost?

Gunite pools in North Bay Shore typically range from $60,000 to $150,000 depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic rectangular pool starts around $60,000, while custom shapes with spas, waterfalls, and premium finishes can reach $150,000 or more. Factors that affect cost include excavation difficulty, electrical runs, custom features, and finish materials. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost so you know exactly what you’re paying for.

Are gunite pools better than fiberglass or vinyl liner pools?

Gunite pools offer unlimited design flexibility and superior durability compared to fiberglass or vinyl options. While fiberglass pools come in pre-made shapes and vinyl liners need replacement every 7-10 years, gunite pools are custom-built to your exact specifications and last 50+ years with proper maintenance. The concrete construction handles freeze-thaw cycles better than other materials, which matters in New York. You’ll pay more upfront, but gunite pools typically have lower lifetime costs and higher resale value.

What maintenance does a gunite pool require?

Gunite pools need regular chemical balancing, weekly skimming, and periodic brushing of the walls and floor. The concrete surface is non-porous when properly sealed, making it easier to keep clean than you might expect. You’ll need to resurface the interior every 10-15 years, but this is a planned maintenance item, not an emergency repair. Most North Bay Shore homeowners either maintain their pools themselves or hire a local service company. We’ll teach you the basics and recommend reliable service companies if you prefer professional maintenance.

Can you install gunite pools year-round in New York?

We install gunite pools from April through November in North Bay Shore. The concrete needs to cure properly, which requires temperatures above freezing for several weeks. Spring and fall installations often have shorter wait times and sometimes better pricing than peak summer season. Winter planning is actually ideal – we can finalize your design, secure permits, and schedule installation for early spring. This way, your pool is ready for swimming season instead of being completed as summer ends.
