Gunite allows opportunity for extraordinary designs with endless shapes and sizes. With Gunite you can achieve exactly the look and amenities you want in a pool: From uniquely shaped designs to an amazing infinity edge spillover.
With a gunite, you are in control of the final outcome no matter how big the scope of your ideas. Our team will work closely with you as we develop 3D renderings, and then our professional installation crew will bring your dream pool to life.
One of the main reasons that Gunite pools are so popular is that you get exactly what you want. With other types of pools, you are limited to what is in the catalog. From simple, to loaded with features you can be assured that your pool will be designed to meet your specific needs.
A Gunite Pool is a good fit if:
• Your budget is $50,000 or more
• You want a custom shape or depth
• You can’t find a fiberglass pool to suit your needs
• You’re prepared to spend a lot of time and money maintaining your investment
Pros:
Customization
Perhaps the greatest advantage of concrete pools is that they can be made in any shape. This means they’re especially good fits for people who want extremely deep or large pools. Custom tanning ledges and other features are available in fiberglass pools, but the fact that concrete pools can be built in any shape is a definite plus.Concrete pools are, like fiberglass models, very durable. While they may not last as long as the gelcoat surfaces boasted by fiberglass pools, concrete pools can withstand impact from sharp objects much better than vinyl liner models.
Cons:
• Maintenance required
• Water chemistry challenges
• Incompatibility with salt systems with certain finishes
• Rough surface
• Lengthy installation
• High ownership cost
• Built in and Spill over Spas
• Tanning ledges/Sun shelves with Spill overs
• Full Width Entry Steps and Beach Entries
• Customized Benches and Seats
• Customized Swim Lanes
• Specialty Aggregate Surfaces
• Amazing Surface Appearance with Pebble Tech
Here are 8 of the most common options for a Gunite swimming pool.
• Custom entry and exit stairs. At first glance stairs hardly seem like a custom option, but considering that the stairs will take up valuable swimming space, careful planning must be taken to avoid some common mistakes. For example, if you plan on doing laps, the stairs should not be placed in the center of an end wall.
• Custom Benches. What is cooler than a bench running down the entire length of your pool?
• Beach Entry. A beach entry gives you a gentle sloped entrance to your pool just like when you are at the beach. Stairs can be combined with a beach entry to accommodate smaller yards.
• Tanning Ledge. Tanning ledges are shallow water areas that are great for Ledge lounge chairs. The perfect way to enjoy a good book while the kids swim.
• Negative Edges. These can be called many different names, But the concept is the same. An area where water can cascade off the edge of the pool, giving the illusion that the pool is endless.
• Built in and Spill over Spas. Adding a Built in or Spill-Over Spa to your pool makes you look forward to those cool nights.
• Bar Stools and Swim Up Bars. What better way to party in the pool than a swim up bar. Bar Stools can be placed in any configuration or quantity.
• Salt Water Systems. Not all pool plaster can withstand the abuse that salt can deliver. At Elite Pools our Pebble Technology surface combined with chemical automation is a compatible solution for all salt chlorine generators.
In record time my spa was back running and Brian went beyond his duties and even offered some excellent advice on spa maintenance.
They were able to answer all questions we may have had and always responded in a timely manner. We are very pleased with our pool and the service we have received this far. I highly recommend Elite Pools if you are in the market for pool!
Easy experience from start to finish. We experienced great communication and enjoyed working with their teams. All around, I can’t say enough positive things about this group. Our family has thoroughly enjoyed our new pool and we would recommend Elite to anyone considering an in-ground pool!
Our project turned out beautifully, and we’ve been enjoying the pool so much! Support has been great afterwards too. We would highly recommend Elite Pools.
Nathan was easy to get in touch with and he stayed in communication with me on the process of completion. They have great prices and great service to offer. Would recommend them to my friends, family, and future real estate clients!
They installed an in ground pool for my family. They were very knowledgeable and kept me up to date on their time lines for different projects. After the pool was in, they continued to help me figure out the filtration system and chemicals.
They diligently worked on it even Saturday’s and Sunday’s to make sure we could be in it while it was still hot and Nathan stands behind his work which is really important. Would build another with Nathan at Elite Pools any day!
Awesome to deal with, showed up when they said they would, did great work, charged fairly and my in-store experience was excellent too. I’m actually looking forward to my next repair because I know I’ve got someone to call. Thanks Elite Pools. Your business is going to be a huge success.
Nathan & his staff installed our pool last month, and we couldn’t be more pleased! Each and every time I call him he answers any questions that I may have. His service has been excellent!
At Elite Pools, your experience is very important to us. That’s why we used our customer experiences over the years to refine the process, and make it as simple as possible.
