Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
A typical custom gunite pool build takes 8–14 weeks from permit approval to final water fill. Complex designs, including integrated spas, large water features, or full outdoor living additions, may require additional time. We provide a detailed project schedule after the design phase so you always know the timeline.
Yes, always. We produce a full photorealistic 3D rendering of your pool design before any contract is signed. You should see exactly what you are getting before you commit. This step is included in our process at no cost to you.
Gunite is a pneumatically applied concrete that allows us to build any size, shape, or depth you can envision. Fiberglass shells arrive pre-formed in a fixed selection of shapes and sizes and simply cannot deliver a custom result. Gunite pools are permanent structures that can be renovated indefinitely; fiberglass shells have a finite lifespan and limited design flexibility.
Yes. We have built pools for hotels, apartment communities, HOA amenity centers, and private clubs throughout Middle Tennessee for over 20 years. Commercial projects receive the same dedicated project management and in-house crew standards as our residential builds.
Custom gunite pools in the Nashville market typically range from $80,000 to $250,000+ depending on size, features, and site conditions. We do not give phone quotes because every project is genuinely different. The best way to understand what your project will cost is to schedule a consultation, we will walk your property, understand your vision, and give you a real number.
