What You Get With Gunite Construction

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a backyard centerpiece that increases your property value and gives you unlimited design possibilities.

Gunite construction means your pool can take any shape, any depth, any feature you want. Unlike prefab options, there are no size restrictions or cookie-cutter limitations. Your pool fits your space perfectly because it’s built specifically for your property.

The durability difference is real. While vinyl liners need replacement every 7-10 years and fiberglass can crack, properly built gunite pools last for decades with minimal maintenance. You’re investing once for a lifetime of enjoyment, not signing up for ongoing replacement costs.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

From Design to Swimming in Clear Steps

The process starts with understanding your vision and evaluating your property. We handle all permit applications and utility markings, so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.

Excavation comes next, followed by steel reinforcement installation and plumbing rough-in. The gunite application is where your pool really takes shape – pneumatically applied concrete that’s shaped and smoothed to exact specifications.

After curing, the finishing work begins: tile installation, coping, decking, and equipment setup. Final inspections ensure everything meets code before filling and startup. The entire process typically takes 8-12 weeks, depending on complexity and weather conditions.

Properly constructed gunite pools can last 50+ years with routine maintenance, significantly longer than vinyl liner pools that need liner replacement every 7-10 years or fiberglass pools that may develop stress cracks over time. The concrete shell is permanent – only the surface finish needs periodic renewal every 10-15 years. This longevity makes gunite pools the most cost-effective choice over time, despite higher upfront costs. You’re essentially building a permanent structure rather than installing a temporary solution.
Gunite offers unlimited design flexibility since it’s applied wet and shaped on-site, unlike fiberglass shells that come in predetermined shapes and sizes. You can create any depth, shape, or custom feature your space allows. Structurally, gunite is reinforced concrete that can withstand ground movement and freeze-thaw cycles better than other materials. Vinyl liners are puncture-prone and need replacement, while fiberglass can develop stress cracks. Gunite pools also allow for easier renovation and feature additions years later since you’re working with a solid concrete structure.
Custom gunite pools in North Hempstead typically range from $75,000 to $150,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Factors affecting cost include excavation difficulty, custom features like waterfalls or spas, premium finishes, and equipment choices. While gunite pools cost more upfront than vinyl options, the long-term value is superior when you factor in durability and property value increase. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you understand exactly what you’re investing in without surprise charges later.
Most gunite pool projects take 8-12 weeks from excavation to completion, though complex designs or challenging site conditions may extend the timeline. Weather affects the schedule since concrete work requires appropriate temperatures for proper curing. The process includes permit approval (1-2 weeks), excavation and steel installation (1 week), plumbing and gunite application (1-2 weeks), curing time (1-2 weeks), and finishing work including tile, coping, and equipment installation (3-4 weeks). We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout the process.

This includes building permits, electrical permits, and any required variance applications if your property has unique setback requirements. We coordinate with local utilities for marking underground lines and schedule all required inspections throughout construction.

We provide comprehensive gunite pool repair and resurfacing services throughout North Hempstead. Common services include plaster resurfacing, tile replacement, coping repair, equipment upgrades, and structural crack repair.
