Build Your Dream Pool to Last Generations

Gunite Pool Construction Dallas PA

Gunite pool construction creates concrete pools that become permanent extensions of your home. Unlike fiberglass pools that look like oversized bathtubs or vinyl pools that feel temporary, gunite construction delivers the structural strength and design flexibility that Pennsylvania properties demand.

SpringLake Pools & Masonry specializes exclusively in concrete pool construction using advanced gunite techniques. We don’t build fiberglass and vinyl pools because we have incredibly high standards for quality. We cannot truthfully consider installing a prefabricated shell or temporary liner in our customers’ backyards a ‘quality job.’

With 40 years of combined design experience and industry-leading construction methods, we build gunite pools that offer personalization, versatility, and durability for generations to come.

Why Choose Gunite Pool Construction?

Gunite pool construction represents the pinnacle of concrete pool building. This pressurized concrete application creates the strongest possible pool shell while allowing unlimited design flexibility. Every gunite pool is built specifically for your property and your vision.

Our gunite process begins with triple-reinforced steel rebar framework installed twice for maximum security. Pennsylvania’s freeze-thaw cycles demand this level of reinforcement. We use lasers to measure elevation precisely and manual tools to shape every curve perfectly. The pressurized gunite application bonds completely with the steel framework, creating a monolithic structure.

Key Advantages:

Unlimited design freedom – beach entries, negative edges, swim-up bars, integrated spas, custom steps
Superior structural strength – handles Pennsylvania weather better than any alternative
No prefabricated limitations – build exactly what you envision, not cookie-cutter shapes
Architectural integration – designed using industry-leading software with every angle measured to scale
50+ year lifespan – gunite pools flex with ground movement while maintaining structural integrity

Fiberglass pools come in prefabricated shells that cannot change once purchased. Vinyl pools fail when you want harsh angles, intricate shelves, benches, or design-heavy features. Gunite construction builds your dream pool with complete customization.

Our Gunite Pool Construction Process

We build custom gunite pools in 6-8 weeks, depending on project size and special features. Rock waterfall features or larger projects require additional time. Weather can affect timing – sometimes we have no delays, other times conditions set us back several days.

Design and Steel Framework
Every build begins with precise design. Our crew knows exactly where the pool goes before arriving at your site. We install triple-reinforced steel rebar twice for security – far exceeding industry standards. Steel placement follows engineered specifications for your specific pool design.

Gunite Application
Pressurized gunite application creates your pool shell in a single day. Our experienced crews apply gunite evenly at proper thickness throughout the structure. Weather must be perfect – no rain or extreme temperatures during application. The gunite cures slowly over several days while we monitor conditions.

Finishing and Startup
Pool finishing includes plaster application, tile installation, and coping placement. We offer multiple finish options from smooth plaster to premium aggregate surfaces. Equipment startup includes filling, system commissioning, and water balancing. Your gunite pool is swim-ready when we complete the project.

What makes gunite better than other concrete methods?

Gunite is pressurized concrete applied through a hose, creating superior bonding with steel reinforcement. This method allows complex shapes and provides maximum structural strength for Pennsylvania weather conditions.

How much does gunite pool construction cost in Northeastern PA?

typically cost $10,000 to $15,000 more than liner pools in our area. While the upfront investment is higher, gunite pools last 50+ years compared to liner pools that need expensive replacements every 8-10 years. The long-term value makes gunite the better investment.
