High Level of Customization

One of the standout features of gunite pools is their high level of customization. Unlike pre-fabricated pools, gunite pools can be molded into virtually any shape or size, allowing you to design a pool that perfectly fits your space and aesthetic preferences. Whether you envision a sleek, modern design or a more natural, lagoon-style pool, the possibilities are endless.

Our design team works closely with you to bring your vision to life. We incorporate various elements, such as waterfalls, spas, and custom lighting, to enhance the overall appeal of your pool. With our expert help, you can create a unique, stylish, and home-complementing swimming experience.

Unique Finishes

The finishes available for gunite pools are as diverse as the design options. From vibrant tiles to smooth pebble surfaces, the finish you choose can significantly impact the look and feel of your pool. We offer a wide range of finishes that not only add aesthetic value but also contribute to the pool’s functionality and comfort.

Tile and coping are critical aspects of a gunite pool’s finish. Our selection of high-quality tiles comes in various colors, patterns, and textures, allowing you to create a visually stunning waterline. Coping, the material used to cap the pool shell wall, can be crafted from natural stone, concrete, or brick, adding a refined touch to your pool’s edge.

Longer Build Time

Building a gunite pool typically requires a longer construction timeline compared to other pool types. This extended timeframe is due to the intricate steps involved in the gunite application process and the necessary curing periods. It may seem a drawback. But, it gives a custom pool. It has unmatched durability and beauty.

During the construction process, our project managers ensure clear communication and keep you informed at every stage. From the initial consultation to the final inspection, we strive to decrease disruptions and adhere to a realistic schedule. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship means that while the build time is longer, the final product is well worth the wait.

Gunite Pool Building Process

The gunite pool building process involves several stages, each crucial to achieving a high-quality final product. From the initial design consultation to the final touches, our team meticulously handles every aspect of the project. Here’s a closer look at what you can expect:

Utility Mark-Out

Before construction, we mark out utilities. This finds any underground lines that might interfere with the pool installation. This step ensures the safety of our crew and prevents potential damage to existing services on your property. Our team works closely with local utility companies to ensure a thorough and accurate mark-out.

Pool Layout

The pool layout stage involves mapping out the exact shape and dimensions of your pool on the ground. This step is key to visualizing the final product. It allows for adjustments before excavation begins. We use precise measurements and advanced tools to ensure the layout aligns perfectly with your design specifications.

Dig Day

Dig Day marks the beginning of the physical construction of your pool. Our skilled team uses heavy machinery to excavate the area according to the predetermined layout. This process requires careful attention to detail to ensure the excavation is accurate and ready for the next stages of construction.

Steel Installation

Steel installation means placing a rebar framework in the excavation. It will reinforce the pool structure. This network of steel bars provides the necessary support for the gunite application, ensuring the pool’s strength and durability. Our skilled installers will position the rebar to meet all standards.

Plumbing

Proper plumbing is essential for the functionality and efficiency of your pool. Our team installs high-quality plumbing systems designed to handle water circulation, filtration, and heating. We ensure that all pipes and fittings are securely placed and tested to prevent leaks and maintain optimal performance.

Gunite Shells

The application of the gunite shell is a critical phase in the construction process. Gunite is sprayed onto the rebar framework, creating a solid and durable pool structure. Our skilled technicians apply the material with precision. They shape the pool to your design. The gunite then undergoes a curing process to achieve maximum strength.

Tile & Coping

Once the gunite shell is cured, we proceed with the installation of tile and coping. These elements add both functionality and aesthetic appeal to your pool. Tiles are meticulously placed to ensure a smooth and attractive finish, while coping materials are installed to cap the pool edges, providing a polished look and comfortable surface.

Equipment

Equipping your pool with the right systems is vital for its operation and maintenance. We install top-of-the-line equipment, including pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems. Our team makes sure all equipment works well. This ensures a hassle-free pool experience.

Plaster

The final step in the construction process is applying the plaster finish. Plaster provides a smooth, waterproof surface for the interior of your pool. Available in various colors and textures, it enhances the pool’s appearance and ensures a comfortable swimming experience. Our experts apply the plaster with precision, achieving a flawless finish.
