Gunite Pool Design and Build

Here's How We Build Your Pool

First, we’ll visit your property to discuss your ideas and assess the space. We’ll talk about size, features, and budget to make sure we’re building something that actually works for your family and your yard.

Once you approve the design, we handle permits and scheduling. Excavation comes first – we dig to exact specifications and prepare the foundation. Then we install plumbing and electrical rough-ins before the gunite application.

The gunite itself is sprayed concrete applied under high pressure. This creates the pool shell – strong, waterproof, and shaped exactly to your design. After curing, we install your chosen finishes, fill the pool, and balance the water chemistry. The whole process typically takes 6-8 weeks, depending on size and features.

What You Get With Gunite

Gunite construction gives you options other pool types can’t match. We can build curved walls, beach entries, integrated spas, and custom seating areas. The concrete structure supports heavy features like rock waterfalls or built-in slides.

For Oyster Bay’s climate, gunite pools handle freeze-thaw cycles better than vinyl liners. The concrete won’t crack from ground movement, and there’s no liner to replace every 7-10 years. You’re looking at decades of use with proper maintenance.

We typically include LED lighting, automatic cleaning systems, and energy-efficient equipment as standard features. The pool automation lets you control temperature, lighting, and cleaning cycles from your phone. These aren’t add-ons – they’re part of building a pool that actually enhances your lifestyle instead of creating more work.

Most gunite pool projects in Oyster Bay take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during gunite application and curing phases. We also factor in local permit processing times, which typically add 2-3 weeks before construction begins. Complex designs with multiple features or challenging access may extend the timeline. We’ll give you a realistic schedule upfront and keep you updated on progress throughout the project.
Gunite pools typically cost more upfront than vinyl liner pools but less than you might expect when you factor in longevity. While a vinyl pool might need liner replacement every 7-10 years at $4,000-8,000 each time, gunite pools can last decades with just surface refinishing every 10-15 years. The customization options with gunite also mean you’re getting exactly what you want, not settling for standard shapes and sizes. We’ll break down the real costs during your consultation.
Gunite pools are actually ideal for Long Island winters. The concrete structure handles freeze-thaw cycles much better than vinyl liners, which can crack or pull away from walls. We build with local climate in mind, including proper drainage and winterization features. The key is proper closing procedures each fall – we’ll show you how to winterize correctly, or we can handle seasonal maintenance for you. Many of our Oyster Bay clients have had their gunite pools for 15+ years with no winter-related issues.
That’s where gunite really shines – we can integrate almost any feature directly into the pool structure. Attached spas, rock waterfalls, beach entries, swim-up bars, built-in seating, and tanning ledges are all possible because we’re building with concrete. These features become permanent parts of the pool, not add-ons that might fail later. We design everything together from the start, so the finished pool looks cohesive and functions properly. The structural strength of gunite supports heavy features that other pool types can’t handle.
You’ll need a building permit from the Town of Oyster Bay, plus electrical permits for lighting and equipment. We handle the permit applications as part of our service – we know the local requirements and work with town inspectors regularly. The process typically takes 2-3 weeks once we submit complete plans. You’ll also need to maintain required setbacks from property lines and ensure compliance with local pool fencing requirements. We’ll walk you through all the regulations during our initial consultation.
Gunite pool maintenance is straightforward and similar to other pool types for daily care – regular cleaning, chemical balancing, and equipment maintenance. The advantage is durability – no liner repairs or replacements to worry about. The concrete surface may need acid washing every few years to remove buildup, and refinishing every 10-15 years depending on use and water chemistry. We’ll set you up with proper equipment and show you the maintenance routine, or we can handle ongoing service if you prefer. Most owners find gunite pools easier to maintain long-term than vinyl alternatives.
