Custom gunite swimming pools designed for your property, your family, and your Long Island lifestyle.
You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a backyard centerpiece that your family will enjoy for generations.
Gunite pools offer something no other construction method can match: complete design freedom. Want a kidney shape that follows your property line? Done. Need varying depths for kids and adults? No problem. Planning to add a spa or waterfall later? We build with your future plans in mind.
The construction process creates a pool that’s essentially carved from concrete and steel. This means your pool can handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or shifting. While other pool types might need major repairs after harsh winters, properly built gunite pools just keep going.
Your investment pays off in more ways than one. These pools typically add 15-25% to your home’s value in South Valley Stream’s market. More importantly, they give you decades of family memories without the constant maintenance headaches that come with cheaper alternatives.
JAS Aquatics has been building custom gunite pools throughout Nassau County for years. We understand the specific challenges of Long Island construction – from soil conditions to local permitting requirements.
Every project starts with understanding your property and your vision. We handle everything from initial design through final inspection, working with Nassau County’s permitting process so you don’t have to navigate the bureaucracy alone.
What sets us apart is our focus on getting it right the first time. We’ve seen too many homeowners deal with problems from rushed or improper installation. That’s why we take the time to do proper excavation, steel placement, and concrete application – the steps that determine whether your pool lasts five years or fifty.
The process starts with a site visit to assess your property and discuss your vision. You’ll get a detailed design that shows exactly what your finished pool will look like, including all features and equipment placement.
Once permits are approved, excavation begins. This is where experience matters – Long Island’s varied soil conditions require contractors who know how to handle everything from sand to clay to rocky areas. The excavation creates the exact shape and depth specifications from your design.
Next comes the structural phase. Steel rebar is carefully placed to create the pool’s skeleton, followed by plumbing and electrical rough-ins. Then the gunite application – a mixture of concrete and sand that’s pneumatically applied under high pressure to create incredibly strong, watertight walls and floor.
After the gunite cures, your pool gets its finishing touches: tile, coping, decking, and equipment installation. The final step is startup and testing to ensure everything operates perfectly. From start to finish, you’ll know exactly what’s happening and when.

Your gunite pool construction includes everything needed for a complete installation. The structural work covers excavation, steel reinforcement, plumbing rough-in, electrical preparation, and gunite application.

Coping and tile work create clean lines and prevent water damage. All installations include proper decking integration so your pool looks like it belongs in your landscape.
South Valley Stream homeowners often add features that make their pools truly unique. Popular upgrades include integrated spas, LED lighting systems, waterfalls, and automated controls. The beauty of gunite construction is that these features can be built into the original design or added later without compromising the pool’s integrity.
Every installation comes with detailed operating instructions and maintenance guidance. You’ll understand how your equipment works, what regular care looks like, and when to call for professional service. This isn’t just about building a pool – it’s about setting you up for years of trouble-free enjoyment.
