Why Choose Gunite?
Gunite pools (also known as shotcrete pools) offer the ultimate in design flexibility and durability. Unlike pre-fabricated options, gunite allows us to shape your pool into anything you can imagine—curves, angles, beach entries, tanning ledges, swim-up bars, built-in spas, and more. It’s the gold standard for custom pools in Houston’s luxury neighborhoods, and it’s what we do best.
Our team works closely with you to create a pool that fits your property, lifestyle, and budget. From the first sketch to the final tile, we guide you through the process with clear communication and total transparency.
