Custom Gunite Pool Installation

Built to Last Generations

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re creating the backyard your family will remember for decades.

Gunite pools handle everything Long Island throws at them. Freeze-thaw cycles, ground shifts, heavy use – your pool stays solid while others crack and fade. The steel-reinforced concrete shell we build becomes part of your property’s foundation.

Your neighbors with fiberglass pools will be dealing with repairs and replacements while you’re still enjoying crystal-clear water in the same beautiful pool. That’s the difference between buying a product and investing in permanent outdoor living space.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

Here's How We Build Yours

First, we handle the permits and design approvals so you don’t have to navigate Smithtown’s requirements alone. Our team knows exactly what the town needs to see.

Next comes excavation and steel placement. We dig to exact specifications and install the rebar framework that gives your pool its strength. This steel skeleton is what separates gunite from every other pool type.

Then we spray the gunite – a high-pressure concrete mixture that forms your pool’s shell. Our crews shape it by hand to match your exact design. After curing, we install your chosen finish, whether that’s plaster, aggregate, or tile.

Finally, we complete the plumbing, electrical, and equipment installation. Your pool system is designed to run efficiently and quietly, with easy access for any future maintenance.

Every Detail Matters

Your gunite pool includes everything needed for years of reliable operation. We’re talking about commercial-grade equipment sized properly for your specific pool volume and usage.

The filtration system we install handles Long Island’s seasonal debris and maintains crystal-clear water with minimal effort from you. Automatic controls manage chemical balance and cleaning cycles, so you spend time swimming instead of testing water.

Whether you want a natural stone deck, outdoor kitchen area, or fire features, the gunite construction accommodates any design element you envision. Your pool becomes the centerpiece of a complete outdoor living space that fits your family’s lifestyle and your property’s character.

Most gunite pools in Smithtown take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size and features. Weather can add time during winter months, which is why we recommend starting projects in spring or early summer. The actual gunite application happens in one day, but proper curing takes several weeks before we can add water. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you updated throughout the process so you know exactly what to expect.
Gunite pools are built on-site using steel-reinforced concrete, making them completely customizable and incredibly durable. Unlike fiberglass pools that come in pre-made shapes, your gunite pool can be any size or configuration your yard allows. The concrete shell handles ground movement and temperature changes better than vinyl liners or fiberglass shells. You’re also not limited in depth – we can build shallow play areas, deep ends for diving, or beach entries that fiberglass simply can’t accommodate.
Yes, Smithtown requires building permits for all pool construction, and the process includes plan review and inspections. We handle the entire permit process for you, including submitting engineered drawings and coordinating with town inspectors. The permit typically takes 2-3 weeks to approve. We also verify setback requirements from your property lines and ensure your pool meets all local safety codes, including proper fencing and equipment placement.
Custom gunite pools in Smithtown typically range from $75,000 to $150,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start at the lower end, while elaborate designs with spas, water features, and premium finishes cost more. The investment includes excavation, steel and gunite installation, equipment, decking, and all permits. We provide detailed written estimates that break down every cost so you understand exactly what you’re getting for your investment.
Gunite pools need regular chemical balancing, filter cleaning, and seasonal opening/closing like any pool. The concrete surface may need acid washing every few years to remove stains and keep it looking fresh. Plaster finishes typically last 10-15 years before needing renewal, while aggregate finishes can last 20+ years. The equipment we install is designed for easy maintenance access, and most homeowners either handle basic upkeep themselves or hire a local pool service for weekly maintenance.
Absolutely. Gunite construction actually works better on challenging lots than other pool types because we build everything custom on-site. Sloped yards often create opportunities for dramatic pool designs with raised spas, infinity edges, or multi-level decking. We handle all the excavation and grading work needed to create a stable foundation. The steel and concrete construction adapts to your specific terrain rather than requiring extensive site preparation to accommodate a pre-made shell.
