Overview
Gunite is the gold standard for a truly custom pool. Because the shell is built on-site over steel and shot in place, there is no fixed mold and no size limit. That means any shape, any depth, and any feature you can imagine: tanning ledges, vanishing edges, integrated spillover spas, and more.

The Process
One Team, From First Sketch to Final Inspection
Most pool projects get pieced out across a designer, an excavator, a concrete crew, a plumber, an electrician, a decking company, and a landscaper. Every handoff is a place for something to slip. We do it all in-house, so one team owns your project from the first sketch to final inspection day.
One team. One quote. Zero handoffs.
Design, permits, build, and inspections are all handled in-house. You never have to become your own general contractor.
Shop With Confidence
Compare builders without the runaround. You get a real design and a clear, fixed quote, not a vague ballpark that changes later.
Custom Design & One Quote
We design your pool and hand you a single price for the whole project. No surprise trades and no piecing it together yourself.
Permits & Engineering
We prepare the engineered drawings and pull every permit your city or county requires, and we explain each step so you are never in the dark.
HOA Approval
We assemble the documents for turnkey approval with your HOA, all you have to do is submit them.
Build, All In-House
Excavation, steel, plumbing, the shell or gunite, decking, and finishes, all coordinated by one crew on one schedule.
Inspections & Final Walkthrough
We schedule and pass every required inspection through final inspection day, then walk you through your new pool and how to care for it.
