Gunite & Pool Shell Construction Since 1965
Gunite Work delivers professional gunite and pool shell construction for projects across Central Florida. With decades of experience in early-stage pool construction, our crews focus on accuracy, consistency, and jobsite coordination from start to finish.
We support commercial and residential projects, working closely with pool companies and contractors to deliver durable structural results.
Built on Experience and Jobsite Execution
Since 1965, Gunite Work has been involved in the foundational phases of pool construction where precision matters most. From excavation and steel placement to expertly shot gunite, our role is to ensure the structural shell is built correctly so the rest of the project can move forward with confidence.
Our approach is straightforward, technical, and process-driven, shaped by decades of real-world jobsite experience.
Our Core Services
Precision-shot gunite for projects that are ready to move into the shell phase. This service is ideal when excavation and steel are complete and the next step is building a strong, long-lasting pool shell.
Our team coordinates closely with the contractor to ensure proper access, placement, and execution at the time of the shoot.
A streamlined option covering the primary construction phases required to complete a structural pool shell.
Included phases:
Site prep and sod strip
Formwork & layout
Excavation
Steel placement
Structural gunite
Backfill & pregrade
This option allows for continuity across phases and consistent oversight throughout construction.
Structural concrete work for existing pools and water features, including:
Pool shell modifications
Spa additions
Raised walls, fountains, and new water features
Beach area, step and bench add-ons
Each project is reviewed individually to determine scope and compatibility with existing structures.
Why Gunite?
Gunite is a dry-mix form of shotcrete recognized by American Concrete Institute standards for its strength, adaptability, and performance in structural applications. Applied at high velocity, the material compacts as it is placed, creating a dense, durable structure with reduced voids and strong long-term performance. Because water is added at the nozzle, the mix can be adjusted in real time, allowing for precise placement around complex shapes, vertical surfaces, and detailed designs while maintaining consistent quality.
This level of control makes gunite a preferred method for pool construction and other structural concrete work where durability and flexibility are critical. It allows for fully customized pool shapes, integrated features like steps and spas, and a monolithic shell that performs under constant pressure. Beyond pools, gunite is also used for retaining walls, slope stabilization, and specialty structures where strength and adaptability are essential.
