What You Get With Gunite

You’re not just getting a pool. You’re getting a backyard centerpiece that transforms how your family spends time at home.

Gunite construction means your pool becomes part of your property’s foundation. Steel rebar reinforcement and pneumatically applied concrete create a structure that handles New York’s freeze-thaw cycles without cracking or shifting.

The surface stays smooth for decades. No liner replacements every 7-10 years like vinyl pools. No algae-trapping seams or sharp edges that tear swimsuits.

Your pool shape isn’t limited by pre-made molds. Want a kidney shape that follows your deck line? A deep end that actually lets you dive? Integrated spa with spillover? Gunite makes it possible.

Wildwood Gunite Pool Contractors

We Know Wildwood Backyards

We’ve been building custom gunite pools in Wildwood and surrounding areas for years. We understand local soil conditions, permitting requirements, and what works in New York’s climate.

Every pool we build gets the same attention whether it’s a simple rectangle or an elaborate resort-style design. Our crews know the difference between doing the job fast and doing it right.

We’re not the biggest pool company, and we’re not trying to be. We focus on quality installations for homeowners who want their pool built once, built correctly.

Gunite Pool Construction Process

How Your Pool Gets Built

First, we handle permits and utility markings. Most Wildwood projects need town approval, and we know exactly what documentation they require.

Excavation comes next. We dig to exact specifications, accounting for your lot’s drainage and any underground obstacles. The hole gets shaped for your specific design, not a generic template.

Steel rebar installation creates your pool’s skeleton. This reinforcement grid determines your pool’s structural integrity for the next 50 years. We don’t cut corners here.

Gunite application happens in one continuous pour. Our crews pneumatically spray the concrete-sand mixture over the rebar framework. This creates a monolithic shell without joints or seams.

Plumbing, electrical, and finishing work complete your pool. Tile, coping, and interior surface get installed once the shell fully cures. Your backyard goes from construction zone to swimming paradise.

Your pool comes with startup service and basic maintenance training. We don’t disappear after construction – you get ongoing support for questions about your new pool.

Most gunite pools in Wildwood take 6-10 weeks from excavation to completion, depending on size and complexity. Weather affects the timeline since concrete needs proper curing conditions. Spring and fall construction often moves faster than summer builds when crews are busiest. We provide realistic schedules upfront and keep you updated on progress. Permit approval adds 2-3 weeks before construction starts, but we handle that process for you.
Gunite offers unlimited customization—any shape, size, or depth you want. Fiberglass pools come in pre-made shells with limited options. Vinyl pools need liner replacement every 7-10 years at $4,000-6,000 each time. Gunite pools last 50+ years with just surface refinishing every 15-20 years. The concrete shell handles ground movement and freeze-thaw cycles better than other materials. You get a truly custom pool that becomes part of your property’s foundation.
Gunite pools in Wildwood typically range from $60,000-120,000 depending on size, features, and site conditions. Basic rectangular pools start around $60,000. Custom shapes, spas, waterfalls, and premium finishes increase the investment. We provide detailed estimates that include all construction costs, permits, and standard features. No surprise charges or hidden fees. The higher upfront cost pays off through decades of durability and no liner replacements.
Yes, Wildwood requires building permits for inground pool construction. We handle the entire permit process, including site plans, engineering drawings, and inspection scheduling. Most residential pools also need electrical permits for lighting and equipment. HOA approval may be required in some neighborhoods. We know local requirements and submit all necessary paperwork. Permit costs are typically $1,500-3,000 and included in our project estimates.
Absolutely. Gunite construction is ideal for New York’s freeze-thaw cycles. The reinforced concrete shell flexes with ground movement without cracking. Proper winterization protects plumbing and equipment from freezing. We install pools below the frost line and use techniques proven in cold climates. Many of our Wildwood pools have been through 20+ winters without structural issues. The key is professional installation and proper winter closing procedures.
Daily maintenance involves skimming debris and checking chemical levels. Weekly tasks include vacuuming, brushing walls, and testing water balance. The gunite surface resists algae better than vinyl but still needs regular brushing. Professional service costs $100-150 monthly if you prefer hands-off maintenance. Major maintenance includes acid washing every 3-5 years and surface refinishing every 15-20 years. Overall maintenance is less intensive than vinyl pools since there’s no liner to protect or replace.
