After almost falling through my deck of 15 years, I decided I needed a change. Josh and his crew came by and took measurements and provided options for replacement. Not long thereafter, I received a quote for each option we discussed. After researching estimated costs of each option and looking at the quotes provided, I decided to go with a flagstone patio—I should not fall through THAT! I had friends and neighbors over for a “preview,” and the response was consistent: “This looks awesome! I want to come sit here and have coffee in the mornings!” Needless to say, I am loving it!

Our Gunite Construction Process
Layout & excavation
We stake the design and dig the shell to shape and depth.
Steel & plumbing
Rebar is tied and plumbing and electrical rough-in is set.
Gunite application
Concrete is sprayed and shaped to form the structural shell, then cured.
Finish-out
Tile, coping, decking, and plaster complete the pool.
Gunite Pool FAQ
What's the difference between gunite and fiberglass pools?
Gunite is a custom-built concrete shell — any shape or size — while fiberglass is a pre-molded shell. Gunite is more durable and fully customizable.
How long does a gunite pool take to build?
Most gunite builds run roughly 8–12 weeks depending on size, design, weather, and approvals.
Does the gunite need to cure before plaster?
Yes. The shell cures for a period after spraying before tile, decking, and plaster go in.
Do you build the deck and patio too?
Yes. We handle the pool, concrete decking, and covered patio as one cohesive project.
