What You Get With Gunite

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a backyard that finally works the way you’ve always pictured it.

Gunite construction means your pool can take any shape you want. That awkward corner of your yard? We can work with it. Want an infinity edge that overlooks your garden? Done. Thinking about a spa that flows seamlessly into the main pool? That’s exactly what gunite does best.

While your neighbors deal with fading vinyl liners or cracked fiberglass shells, your gunite pool gets stronger over time. The concrete cures for months after installation, creating a structure that handles Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without the headaches that come with cheaper alternatives.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

How Your Pool Gets Built

First, we design your pool around your space and your vision. No cookie-cutter shapes or limited options. We’re talking about measurements that work with your property, features that make sense for how you’ll actually use the space.

Next comes excavation and the steel framework installation. This is where the structural integrity of your pool gets established. The rebar grid gets positioned precisely because this skeleton determines how well your pool handles ground movement and water pressure for the next thirty years.

Then we spray the gunite. This isn’t just concrete getting poured. It’s a high-pressure application that creates a dense, strong shell that bonds completely with the steel framework. After curing, we handle the finishing work, install your equipment, and make sure every detail works exactly as planned.

Most gunite pool projects in North Wantagh take 8-12 weeks from start to finish, depending on size and complexity. Weather plays a role since we can’t spray gunite in freezing temperatures or heavy rain. Spring starts are ideal because they allow for completion before peak summer season. The actual gunite application happens in one day, but then requires several weeks of curing before we can proceed with finishing work. We’ll give you a realistic timeline during consultation based on your specific project and the season.
Gunite offers complete customization – any shape, size, or depth you want. Fiberglass pools come in predetermined shapes and sizes. Vinyl liners need replacement every 7-10 years and can tear or fade. Gunite pools get stronger over time as the concrete continues curing. They handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles better than other materials. You can add features like infinity edges, built-in spas, or custom steps that aren’t possible with prefab options. The initial cost is higher, but the longevity and customization options provide better long-term value.
Gunite pools are actually ideal for Long Island’s climate when built correctly. The concrete structure handles freeze-thaw cycles better than fiberglass or vinyl. Proper winterization protects the shell and equipment during cold months. The key is working with contractors who understand local soil conditions and drainage requirements. We install pools slightly deeper than minimum requirements to prevent frost damage and ensure proper water circulation. Long Island has thousands of gunite pools that have performed well for decades when constructed with appropriate techniques for the region.
Gunite pool costs in North Wantagh typically range from $60,000 to $150,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start at the lower end, while custom shapes with luxury features like waterfalls or spas cost more. Site access, soil conditions, and local permit requirements affect pricing. The investment includes excavation, steel framework, gunite application, finishing, equipment, and all necessary approvals. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your specific property and discussing your vision. Financing options are available for qualified buyers.
North Wantagh gunite pools require building permits from Nassau County, which includes structural, electrical, and plumbing approvals. You’ll also need to comply with setback requirements from property lines and ensure proper drainage plans. Some neighborhoods have HOA restrictions that require additional approvals. The permit process typically takes 4-6 weeks, which is why we recommend starting the application process during winter for spring construction. We handle all permit applications and inspections as part of our service, ensuring everything meets local codes and requirements.
Gunite construction allows for virtually any feature you want integrated into your pool design. Attached spas, waterfalls, infinity edges, swim-up bars, built-in seating, and custom steps are all possible. These features get built into the structure during construction, not added afterward, which creates seamless integration and better longevity. The flexibility of gunite means we can incorporate multiple features while maintaining structural integrity. We’ll discuss your wishlist during design consultation and show you how different features affect both aesthetics and functionality of your finished pool.
