Gunite Pool Construction Process

Here's How Your Pool Gets Built

First, we sit down and talk through what you want. Pool size, shape, depth, features – this is where your ideas become a real design. We handle the permits and get everything approved before any digging starts.

Next comes excavation and the gunite application. This is where the durability happens – we’re essentially building a concrete shell that’s formed to your exact specifications. The gunite process creates the strongest pool structure available, which is why these pools last for decades.

Then we install your equipment, do the finish work, and fill it up. The whole process typically takes 8-12 weeks depending on size and features. You’ll know what’s happening each step of the way, and we don’t move to the next phase until the current work is done right.

Gunite Swimming Pool Features

What You Get With Gunite Construction

Gunite gives you complete design freedom. Any shape, any size, any depth. Want a shallow end for kids and a deep end for diving? No problem. Need the pool to fit around existing landscaping or work with a sloped yard? Gunite handles it.

The construction process creates a pool that’s built into your property, not just dropped on top of it. This means better integration with your landscaping, more options for decking and features, and a finished result that looks like it belongs there.

You also get durability that other pool types can’t match. Vinyl liners need replacement every 5-8 years. Fiberglass can crack or pop out of the ground. Gunite pools are built to last decades with proper maintenance, and when they do need resurfacing down the road, the underlying structure stays solid.

Most gunite pool installations take 8-12 weeks from start to finish, depending on the size and complexity of your design. Weather can affect the timeline, especially during excavation and concrete work. We break the process into clear phases: design and permits (1-2 weeks), excavation and plumbing rough-in (1 week), gunite application and curing (1-2 weeks), equipment installation and finishing (2-3 weeks), then final startup and testing. You’ll know exactly where we are in the process throughout the project.
Gunite offers complete customization – any shape, size, or depth you want. Fiberglass pools come in predetermined shapes and sizes, while vinyl pools are limited in depth and design options. Gunite also lasts longer. Vinyl liners need replacement every 5-8 years at $3,000-5,000 each time. Fiberglass can crack or shift with ground movement. Gunite pools are built to last decades, and when they eventually need resurfacing, the underlying structure remains solid. The upfront cost is higher, but the long-term value is significantly better.
Custom gunite pools in our area typically range from $50,000 to $100,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. A basic 16×32 rectangular pool starts around $50,000-60,000. Add features like waterfalls, spas, custom lighting, or complex shapes, and costs increase accordingly. Site access, soil conditions, and required utilities also affect pricing. We provide detailed written estimates that break down all costs upfront, so you know exactly what you’re investing in before any work begins.
Yes, we handle all permit applications and coordinate required inspections throughout the construction process. This includes the initial building permit, electrical permits for pool equipment, and any required setback or zoning approvals. We’re familiar with local requirements in Wyandanch and surrounding areas, which helps avoid delays or complications. The permit process typically takes 1-2 weeks, and we don’t start excavation until all approvals are in place. All permit costs are included in your project estimate.
Our gunite pools come with comprehensive warranty coverage that protects your investment. The gunite structure itself is warranted for structural integrity, equipment carries manufacturer warranties (typically 1-3 years depending on the component), and our installation work is backed by our craftsmanship guarantee. We also provide detailed maintenance guidelines to help you protect your warranty coverage. If issues arise during the warranty period, we handle repairs promptly and at no cost to you.
Gunite pool construction is weather-dependent, particularly the concrete work. We typically build from April through October when temperatures are consistently above freezing. Cold weather affects concrete curing and can compromise the structural integrity of the gunite application. If you’re planning a pool for next summer, fall and winter are actually ideal times for design and permitting, so we can start construction as soon as weather permits in spring. This also helps ensure your pool is ready for swimming season.
