He pays attention to the little details and genuinely cares about doing quality work, not just checking a box and moving on. What stands out most is that Josh truly cares about the people he works with. He treats customers the right way and takes pride in delivering results they can be happy with.

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.
