What Is a Custom Pool & Why Choose Gunite?

A custom pool is designed and built specifically for your property, budget, and lifestyle—not a mass-produced kit.

Gunite is a sprayed concrete process that forms a durable shell. It allows unlimited shapes, sizes, and features—infinity edges, sun shelves, integrated spas, waterfalls, and more. For Pacific Beach's coastal climate, gunite with proper sealing and maintenance outlasts vinyl liners and is more resilient to salt air and sand.

Durability: 25+ years with proper care, often longer.
Design freedom: Any shape, waterfall, or integrated feature.
Resale value: Gunite pools add significant home value.
Energy efficiency: Works with modern pumps and heater systems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to build a pool in Pacific Beach?

Yes. San Diego requires permits for inground pools, spas, and decking. We handle all permitting, inspections, and city approvals so you don't have to manage the process.

How does sandy soil affect pool construction near the beach?

Sandy soil can shift and cause excavation collapse if not properly reinforced. We use compacted fill, pea gravel, and increased gunite thickness to ensure a stable, long-lasting pool shell in Pacific Beach's coastal soil conditions.

Can you work on a small Pacific Beach lot?

Absolutely. Many Pacific Beach homes sit on compact urban lots. We specialize in custom designs that maximize space—lap pools, plunge pools, and spas that fit tight footprints without compromising function or aesthetics.

What maintenance does a new gunite pool require?

Regular cleaning, chemical balance, and equipment checks keep your pool healthy. We provide guidance on maintenance and offer service plans. Proper care extends your pool's life well beyond 25 years.

Can I add a hot tub to my existing pool?

Yes. We integrate spas with existing pools or build new attached spas as part of a remodel. Integrated systems share filtration and heating, making them efficient and user-friendly.

Do you offer financing or payment plans?

We work with several financing partners to make pool ownership affordable. Ask about available options during your consultation—we'll help find a plan that fits your budget.
