Frequently asked questions
What is a Gunite pool?
A Gunite pool is a type of in-ground pool built using a rebar framework and a concrete/sand mixture that is sprayed (or “shot”) into place. This method allows for highly customizable shapes and superior durability compared to other pool types.
How long does it take to build a Gunite pool?
While timelines vary based on design complexity and weather conditions, most Gunite pool installations in Kansas City take between 8 to 12 weeks from excavation to completion.
Are Gunite pools more expensive than fiberglass or vinyl?
Yes, Gunite pools typically have a higher upfront cost due to their customization and durability. However, they offer longer lifespans and greater long-term value, making them a worthwhile investment.
What kind of maintenance do Gunite pools require?
Gunite pools require regular maintenance, including brushing to prevent algae buildup, monitoring chemical levels, and periodic resurfacing (typically every 10–15 years). We’ll walk you through proper care during your project handoff.
Can I add features like waterfalls, lighting, or heating to a Gunite pool?
Absolutely. Gunite pools are ideal for custom features. From integrated lighting and fountains to automated pool covers and heaters, we can design the perfect experience for you.
Is a Gunite pool right for my yard?
Gunite pools are ideal for most Kansas City backyards, especially if you want a unique shape or need to work around specific elevations, slopes, or space restrictions. We offer site evaluations to help you determine the best fit.
