Gunite Pools in Setauket, NY
Custom Gunite Pools Built to Last
Engineered for Long Island’s climate with unlimited design possibilities and decades of durability.
Custom Gunite Pool Installation
You get a pool that’s built exactly how you want it. No compromising on shape, depth, or features because you’re working with gunite – the most flexible pool construction method available.
Your family gets a gathering place that works for everyone. Shallow areas for kids, deeper sections for serious swimmers, built-in seating wherever it makes sense. The design is completely up to you.
You also get something that lasts. While other pool types start showing their age in 10-15 years, properly built gunite pools in Setauket are still going strong after 30, 40, even 50 years. That’s because gunite isn’t just poured concrete – it’s steel-reinforced and pneumatically applied for maximum strength and durability.
Setauket Gunite Pool Contractors
JAS Aquatics has been building custom gunite pools throughout Suffolk County for years. We understand the local soil conditions, drainage requirements, and permit processes that make or break pool projects in this area.
Our team knows what works in Setauket’s climate. We’ve dealt with the clay soil, the seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, and the specific challenges that come with building pools on Long Island’s North Shore.
Most importantly, we build pools the right way from day one. No shortcuts, no rushing through critical steps, no hoping problems don’t surface later.
Gunite Pool Construction Process
First comes design and permitting. You work with JAS Aquatics to create exactly what you want, then we handle the Suffolk County permit process and utility marking.
Next is excavation and structural work. Our crew digs your pool, installs the steel rebar framework, and runs all plumbing and electrical lines. This is where experience with local soil conditions really matters.
Then comes the gunite application. High-pressure pneumatic equipment shoots the concrete-and-aggregate mixture over the steel framework. This creates the strongest possible shell – much stronger than poured concrete.
After curing comes finishing. You choose your interior surface, decking materials, and any additional features like lighting or water features. The final step is startup and water balancing, plus showing you exactly how to maintain your new pool.

Gunite Swimming Pool Features
Gunite gives you design freedom that other pool types simply can’t match. Want a kidney shape with a spa attached? No problem. Beach entry with multiple depth levels? Easy. Infinity edge overlooking your landscaping? Completely doable.
You also get the strongest pool shell available. The steel-reinforced gunite construction handles ground movement, freeze-thaw cycles, and decades of use without the cracking or separation issues you see with other methods.
The surface options are endless too. Plaster, aggregate, tile – whatever matches your vision and budget. And when you want to update the look in 15-20 years, you can resurface without rebuilding the entire pool.
