What You Get With Gunite

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a backyard centerpiece that’ll handle everything Long Island weather throws at it for decades.

Gunite construction means your pool is built to your exact specifications. Want a shallow end for the kids and a deep end for diving? Done. Need built-in seating or a spa attachment? No problem. Unlike prefab options, gunite pools adapt to your space, not the other way around.

The concrete shell cures underwater-strong, which means your pool won’t shift, crack, or fail when the ground freezes and thaws. That’s peace of mind you can’t get with vinyl liners or fiberglass shells that weren’t designed for our climate.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

How Your Pool Gets Built

First comes the consultation and design phase. We visit your property, discuss your vision, and create detailed plans that work with your space and comply with local codes.

Next is excavation and steel reinforcement installation. Our crew digs to exact specifications and installs the rebar framework that gives gunite pools their legendary strength. This steel skeleton is what separates gunite from every other pool type.

Then comes the gunite application itself. High-pressure pneumatic equipment shoots the concrete mixture onto the steel framework, creating a solid, seamless shell. After curing, the surface gets finished with plaster, tile, or aggregate depending on your preference.

Finally, plumbing, electrical, and filtration systems get installed and tested. Your pool gets filled, balanced, and you get a complete walkthrough of operation and maintenance.

What's Included In Your Project

Every gunite pool project includes complete design consultation, permitting assistance, and construction management from start to finish. You’re not dealing with multiple contractors or trying to coordinate different trades.

We handle excavation, steel installation, gunite application, plumbing, electrical, and finishing work. We also coordinate inspections and ensure everything meets or exceeds local building codes.

Design options include custom shapes, multiple depth zones, built-in spas, water features, LED lighting systems, and energy-efficient equipment. Since gunite is formed on-site, almost any design concept is possible within your space and budget constraints.

Most gunite pool projects in Northport take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size, complexity, and weather conditions. The gunite application itself only takes a day, but proper curing time is essential for long-term durability. Permitting can add 2-4 weeks to the timeline, which is why starting the permit process early matters. We provide realistic timelines upfront and keep you updated throughout construction so you know what to expect each week.
Gunite pools are completely custom-built on your property, so you’re not limited to pre-manufactured shapes or sizes. The concrete construction handles freeze-thaw cycles much better than fiberglass shells, which can crack in Long Island’s climate. Unlike vinyl liners that need replacement every 7-10 years, properly built gunite pools can last 50+ years with basic maintenance. You also get unlimited design flexibility for features like built-in spas, custom lighting, or unique water features that simply aren’t possible with other construction methods.
Gunite pool costs vary widely based on size, features, and site conditions, typically ranging from $50,000 to $150,000+ for luxury installations. Basic rectangular pools start lower, while custom shapes with spas, waterfalls, or complex lighting systems cost more. Factors affecting price include excavation difficulty, electrical requirements, decking materials, and equipment selection. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs so you understand exactly what you’re paying for, with no surprise charges during construction.
Yes, gunite pools require building permits from the Town of Huntington, plus potential approvals for electrical and plumbing work. You’ll also need to comply with setback requirements, fencing regulations, and drainage considerations. Some neighborhoods have additional HOA or architectural review requirements. We handle the permit application process and know local requirements, which saves you time and ensures everything is done correctly. We also coordinate required inspections throughout construction to keep the project moving smoothly.
Gunite pools need regular chemical balancing, skimming, and equipment maintenance like any pool, but the concrete structure itself is very low-maintenance. The plaster surface may need acid washing every few years and resurfacing every 10-15 years depending on usage and care. Pool equipment like pumps and heaters require seasonal maintenance and eventual replacement. We provide complete operation instructions and can recommend local service companies for ongoing maintenance if you prefer professional pool care over DIY maintenance.
Gunite pool construction is best done during warmer months when concrete can cure properly and ground conditions are stable. Most construction happens between April and November, though planning and permitting can start anytime. Winter construction is possible but requires special considerations for concrete curing and may extend timelines. Starting the design and permitting process in winter or early spring ensures you’re ready to break ground as soon as conditions allow, which means you’re swimming by summer rather than waiting another year.
