Custom Gunite Pool Installation

What You Get With Gunite

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a permanent part of your property that your family will use for decades.

Gunite pools give you complete design freedom. Want a kidney shape that fits perfectly between your deck and garden? No problem. Need a shallow area for kids and a deep end for diving? That’s what we do. The concrete construction means we can build exactly what you envision, not what comes out of a mold.

Your pool will handle Long Island’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or shifting. The steel-reinforced concrete shell is built to last 50+ years with proper care. Compare that to vinyl liners that need replacing every 8-10 years, and you’ll see why gunite makes financial sense long-term.

We Know Long Island Pools

We’ve been building custom gunite pools across Long Island for years. We understand the local soil conditions, permit requirements, and weather challenges that affect pool construction in this area.

Every gunite pool we build starts with proper excavation and reinforcement. We work with local inspectors and know exactly what Wheatley Heights requires for permits and safety compliance. No shortcuts, no surprises.

Our team handles everything from initial design through final startup. You work with the same crew throughout the project, so communication stays clear and your vision stays on track.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

How We Build Your Pool

First, we design your pool based on your property, budget, and how you want to use the space. We handle all permits and utility markings before any digging starts.

Excavation comes next. We dig to exact specifications and install the steel reinforcement framework that gives gunite pools their strength. This rebar structure is what separates a professional installation from a DIY disaster.

Then we spray the gunite mixture onto the rebar framework. This creates a solid concrete shell that’s stronger than poured concrete because it’s applied under pressure. After curing, we install your chosen finish, plumbing, and electrical systems.

The final step is filling, balancing the water chemistry, and walking you through basic maintenance. Most gunite pools take 6-8 weeks from start to finish, depending on size and features.

Gunite Swimming Pool Features

What's Included In Your Build

Every gunite pool installation includes excavation, steel reinforcement, gunite application, plumbing, electrical, and your choice of interior finish. We handle all permits and inspections required in Wheatley Heights.

You can add features that aren’t possible with prefab pools. Integrated spas, swim-up bars, beach entries, and custom lighting all get built into the concrete structure. Waterfalls and rock formations become permanent parts of your pool, not add-ons that might shift or leak.

We use only commercial-grade equipment for filtration and heating. Your pool gets the same quality pumps and heaters used in hotel and resort installations. This means fewer repairs and longer equipment life compared to residential-grade alternatives.

Most gunite pools take 6-8 weeks from excavation to completion. Weather affects the timeline since concrete needs proper curing conditions. We typically excavate and install rebar in the first week, spray gunite in week two, then spend 3-4 weeks on plumbing, electrical, decking, and finishing work. The final 1-2 weeks involve filling, equipment startup, and water balancing. Complex designs with multiple features may take longer, but we’ll give you a realistic timeline during planning.
Gunite pools are permanent concrete structures that last 50+ years with proper maintenance. Unlike fiberglass pools that come in predetermined shapes, gunite can be formed into any design your property allows. The concrete surface is stronger than fiberglass and won’t puncture like vinyl liners. Gunite also handles ground movement better than other pool types, which matters in Long Island’s clay soils. While the upfront cost is higher, you avoid liner replacements every decade and get unlimited customization options.
Gunite pool costs vary based on size, features, and site conditions. A basic rectangular pool typically starts around $60,000-80,000, while custom shapes with features like spas or waterfalls can reach $100,000+. Factors affecting price include excavation difficulty, electrical runs, decking materials, and equipment choices. We provide detailed estimates after evaluating your property and discussing your priorities. The investment makes sense when you consider the pool’s 50+ year lifespan and the property value increase.
Yes, gunite pools require building permits in Wheatley Heights, and we handle all permit applications for you. The process includes submitting construction plans, scheduling inspections during key phases, and ensuring compliance with local setback requirements. We also coordinate utility markings before excavation and arrange required electrical inspections. Our familiarity with local codes means fewer delays and no permit surprises. The permit process typically takes 2-3 weeks, which we handle before starting any work on your property.
Gunite pools work well on challenging terrain because we build them in place rather than dropping in a prefab shell. Sloped lots often create opportunities for dramatic designs with raised spas or infinity edges. We can work around existing landscaping, utilities, and structures that might prevent other pool types. Soil conditions matter more than slope – we evaluate drainage and stability during the planning phase. Rocky soil increases excavation costs, but clay or sandy conditions typical in Wheatley Heights work fine for gunite construction.
Gunite pools need regular chemical balancing and cleaning like any pool, but the concrete surface requires some specific care. You’ll brush the walls weekly to prevent algae buildup and maintain proper water chemistry to avoid surface staining. The interior finish may need replastering every 10-15 years depending on use and maintenance. Equipment maintenance is the same as other pool types – filter cleaning, pump servicing, and seasonal opening/closing. Overall maintenance costs are similar to other pools, but you avoid liner replacements and have fewer equipment failures with commercial-grade systems.
