Gunite Pools
Pros and Cons
Not sure if a gunite pool is right for you? Let’s explore the pros and cons.
Last A Lifetime
Gunite pools last a lifetime and beyond. The steel-reinforced skeleton can be remodeled and refinished many times without compromising its strength. These pools stand the test of time – only needing the occasional resurface.
Any Shape or Size
Gunite is poured on-site and can be customized into whatever unique shape best fits the contours of your space. This level of personalization means you can get truly creative with your backyard vision.
Upkeep
Because of the porous nature of concrete and plaster, gunite pools require more upkeep than fiberglass pools. Algae growth can occur if it’s not cleaned and brushed regularly.
Build Time
Although we build gunite pools quickly, they require many more steps than fiberglass pools. This means installing a gunite pool can be a longer process than other options.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a gunite pool?

Does a gunite pool add value to your home?
A HouseLogic study claims that, in ideal scenarios, a pool can increase your home’s property value by up to 7%. According to HGTV, the average gain achieved from an in-ground installation usually settles between 5% and 8%. Redfin analyzed 19 hot climate markets and found that the market values for houses with pools rose between $11,591 and $95,393.
What’s the difference between gunite and shotcrete?
The major distinction between shotcrete and gunite is that with the former, the concrete mixture is already blended with water before application; it just solidifies when it touches the ground. In contrast, gunite is a plaster-like mix that only combines with water once it’s sprayed from the application hose.
Can a gunite pool be salt water?
Yes, gunite pools are safe to use with saltwater.
