IS GUNITE RIGHT FOR YOU?
Signs a gunite pool is the right choice
Gunite is the most durable and customizable pool type available. Here is when it makes the most sense for your project.
- You want a completely custom shape that no prefabricated form can match
- You plan to stay in the home long-term and want a pool that lasts decades
- Your yard has complex grade changes that require an engineered shell
- You want integrated features like vanishing edges, tanning ledges, or grottos
- You prefer a plaster, aggregate, or glass tile finish
- You want the highest resale value a pool can add to your property
- You are building a spa attached to the pool with shared or independent systems
- You want a pool built specifically for Northern NJ soil and climate conditions
If any of these apply, call (973) 520-5866. We design and build the full space around your pool.

OUR PROCESS
How EverClear builds a gunite pool
Design Consultation
Jason or a project manager visits your property to assess soil, grade, utilities, and setback requirements. You discuss shape, features, and budget.
Engineering and Permitting
Engineer-stamped structural drawings are produced. EverClear pulls all NJ building, electrical, and plumbing permits before construction begins.
Excavation Through Gunite Shoot
The yard is excavated, steel rebar is tied and inspected, plumbing is roughed in, and gunite is pneumatically applied to form the shell. The shell cures before finishing.
Finish, Fill, and Walkthrough
Tile, coping, plaster or aggregate finish, decking, fencing, and equipment are installed. The pool is filled, water chemistry is balanced, and you walk through everything with your project manager.

Common questions about vinyl liner pools
Gunite pools cost more than vinyl due to custom shaping, steel reinforcement, and longer build times. The total depends on pool size, shape, features, and finish materials. EverClear provides a free written estimate after the site consultation.
Most gunite pools take 3 to 6 months from design to completion. Cure time after the gunite shoot, weather delays, and permitting timelines are the main variables.
A properly built gunite shell can last 50 years or more. The interior finish (plaster, aggregate, or pebble) typically needs resurfacing every 10 to 15 years depending on water chemistry.
