Why gunite

The gold standard for custom pools

Gunite is steel-reinforced concrete, sprayed in place and shaped by hand. It's how the world's most ambitious pools get built — because it can be formed into literally anything.

Swipe the cards

✏️Truly custom, no molds

Geometric, freeform, lagoon — vanishing edges, sunken conversation pits, any depth from a wading shelf to a diving well. The design starts from your yard and your imagination, not a catalog.

🏛Built for generations

An engineered steel rebar cage, gunite shell, tile, coping and plaster — a permanent concrete structure that can be refreshed, replastered and even remodeled decades from now.

🌴The features you actually want

Tanning ledges, Baja shelves, beach entries, raised spillover spas, rock waterfalls, sheer descents, swim-up bars, fire features. If it holds water or throws light, we build it in.

📋Engineering & permits, handled

Structural engineering, plans, city permitting and HOA paperwork are all part of our scope — you make design decisions, we carry the clipboard.

How it works

From sketch to swimming

Swipe the steps

1

Free design call

20 minutes with Morgan. Your yard, your wish list, your budget — and an honest number for what it takes.

2

Design, engineering & permits

Your pool is drawn, structurally engineered and submitted. We manage the city and the HOA so you don't have to.

3

Excavation & steel

Dig day. Then the rebar cage is tied by hand and the plumbing is roughed in — the skeleton of a pool built to outlast the house.

4

Gunite shell

Concrete is sprayed at high velocity over the steel and shaped by hand. This is the day your yard permanently has a pool in it.

5

Tile, coping & plaster

Waterline tile, coping, decking, then the plaster interior — the finish work that makes it yours.

6

Fill it & swim

Equipment start-up, chemical balance, and a full owner walkthrough of your new backyard.

Honest timeline: most custom builds run about 8–12 weeks from excavation, depending on city review times, HOA approvals and design complexity. We'll give you a real schedule before you sign anything.

Built for the people who'll live in it.

A pool is a twenty-year decision. We build like it.

Same crew, same standard

This one is a Latham fiberglass Astoria 16, finished July 2026. Gunite or fiberglass, it is the same crew doing the tile, the decking and the finish work — that is what you are actually hiring.

I was so impressed with the quality of their work. They matched my existing concrete color perfectly, and adapted to the weather to make sure I got the best, most long-lasting product possible. I love my pool and love the design.

I found your old postcard advertisement from when you first canvassed our neighborhood. You said we would be your 11th customer. These many years later, we have never regretted that decision, or our decision to invest in your skill and in building your business legacy.

The best, most detailed pool builder I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I couldn't be happier with my pool. My only regret is not getting more done while they were here!

Questions

Custom gunite, answered

What does a custom gunite pool cost?
Complete builds start at $52,995 for a 15'×30' pool — including design, engineering, permits, excavation, steel, gunite, tile, coping, plaster, decking, equipment and start-up. Size, features and finishes move the number up from there; you'll get an exact fixed price after your free design call. Central Valley pricing. Prices are subject to change based on distance from Hanford, CA.
How long does a gunite build take?
Most custom builds run about 8–12 weeks from excavation, depending on city review timelines, HOA approvals and how ambitious the design is. Design and permitting happen before that. We'll map your real schedule on the design call. Need to be swimming sooner? Ask about our fiberglass pools — set in a single day.
Can I add a spa, tanning ledge or waterfall?
That's the point of gunite — everything is on the table. Raised spillover spas, tanning ledges, Baja shelves, beach entries, rock waterfalls, sheer descents, fire bowls, swim-up seating, automation, saltwater. Bring the Pinterest board; we'll tell you what it costs.
Who handles engineering and permits?
We do. Structural engineering, plans, city permitting and HOA paperwork are part of our standard scope, handled by a licensed, bonded and insured California contractor (CSLB #1139527, C-53 & C-61/D-35).
How much do I have to put down?
$1,000, maximum. California law (B&P §7159) caps a pool contract down payment at the lesser of 10% or $1,000 — and unlike some builders, we follow it. You never pay ahead of completed work.
Do you build where I live?
We're based in Hanford and build across the Central Valley — Fresno, Visalia, Tulare, Kings and surrounding counties. Farther out? Ask on your design call; we'll tell you straight what we can do.
