Overview

Gunite for freedom of shape, vinyl for value

Gunite gives you any geometry you can draw: tanning ledges, integrated spas, vanishing edges, raised walls with sheer descents. Vinyl gives you a clean, fast, budget-friendly build with a smooth surface that swimmers love. We install both, and we will tell you plainly which one fits your yard and budget.

  • Soil, grade and water table evaluated before design is finalized
  • 3D renderings and a fixed written proposal before you commit
  • Permits, surveys and inspections handled by our office

Questions

Pool Construction FAQ

How much does a new pool cost?

Vinyl liner pools generally start near $65,000 installed and gunite pools generally start near $95,000. Access, water table, decking and hardscape drive the final figure.

How long does construction take?

Eight to twelve weeks of on-site work after permits are issued. Town permitting typically adds two to eight weeks.

Can you build on a small or hard-to-access yard?

Yes. We use compact excavators and conveyor systems for tight side yards, and we will confirm access on the first visit.

What about a high water table?

Common on the South Shore. We plan dewatering during excavation and install hydrostatic relief so the shell stays put.

Do you offer financing?

We work with several pool lending partners and can send options with your proposal.

Do I need a permit for a pool in Nassau or Suffolk County?

Yes. Every town on Long Island requires a building permit, and most require a survey, fence plan and electrical inspection. Our office files all of it.

Does the pool need a fence?

New York State requires a barrier at least four feet high with self-closing, self-latching gates around a residential pool. We include the fence plan in the permit set.

Gunite or vinyl for Long Island weather?

Both winterize well here. Gunite handles freeze-thaw with a rigid shell and any shape you want. Vinyl costs less up front and needs a liner every ten to fifteen years.

What is the best time of year to start?

Signing in fall or winter puts you through permitting during the slow season and gets you swimming by early summer. Spring signings usually finish mid to late season.

Do you build spas and outdoor kitchens with the pool?

Yes. Integrated spas, sun shelves, fire features, pergolas and outdoor kitchens are all done by our own crews on the same schedule as the pool.
