Why should I build a concrete/gunite pool?
Choosing a concrete pool over fiberglass or vinyl liner offers several long-term advantages in terms of durability, design flexibility, and overall value:
1. Unlimited Design Flexibility
Concrete pools can be custom-built to any shape, size, or depth, making them ideal if you want a fully personalized design—whether it's a geometric lap pool or a freeform tropical oasis. Unlike fiberglass or vinyl, which come in pre-manufactured shapes and sizes, concrete pools are built on-site and tailored to your vision.
2. Superior Durability and Longevity
Concrete is extremely strong and long-lasting. While it may require occasional resurfacing over time, a well-maintained concrete pool can last 50+ years—far longer than vinyl liners, which usually need replacement every 7–10 years, and fiberglass shells, which can suffer from stress cracks or warping over time.
3. Premium Aesthetics and Custom Finishes
Concrete pools support high-end finishes like our pebble plaster, which not only enhance the look but also improve durability and comfort. You can also incorporate custom features like sun shelves, vanishing edges, attached spas, and integrated lighting with ease.
4. Better for Complex Terrain or High-End Landscaping
If your property has a slope, tight space, or unique grading needs, concrete is often the most adaptable choice. It can be shaped on-site to fit the landscape perfectly, whereas fiberglass and vinyl options may be limited by access or ground conditions.
5. Investment in Long-Term Value
Although concrete pools have a higher upfront cost, they add significant long-term value to your home. They’re considered a luxury feature and appeal to buyers looking for quality construction and a custom backyard experience.
In short, if you're looking for a fully customizable, long-lasting, and high-quality pool, concrete is the best investment—especially for those building their forever home or wanting a unique, luxury outdoor space.
