What is Gunite and Why Renovate?

Gunite is a robust, long-lasting concrete shell for in-ground pools — a popular choice for inground pools because of its structural strength, flexibility in design, and durability. 

Over time, however, even gunite pools need renovation to restore their original elegance, safety, and functionality. A renovation can rejuvenate the pool’s surface, upgrade worn-out features, and improve overall pool health.

When Should You Consider a Gunite Renovation

A gunite pool is built to last, but like any long-term structure, it will eventually show signs of wear.  Renovating at the right time not only restores your pool’s beauty but also prevents minor issues from turning into costly repairs. You may want to consider a renovation if you notice any of these:

Cracks in the Pool Shell or Plaster
Visible cracks — hairline or deeper structural cracks — are some of the first warning signs that your pool needs attention.
Rough, Peeling, or Worn Plaster Surface
As plaster ages, it begins to lose its smooth finish. You might feel rough patches on the walls or floor, notice discoloration, or see areas where the plaster is chipping away.
Loose, Cracked, or Outdated Tile or Coping
Tile and coping are not just decorative — they help protect the pool shell and edge from water damage.
Leaks or Visible Signs of Water Loss
If you find yourself topping off the pool more often than usual, it may indicate a leak.
Old or Inefficient Equipment (Pumps, Filters, Heaters, Plumbing)
Older equipment often struggles to maintain water clarity, circulation, and proper sanitation.
An Outdated Style or Finish
Sometimes the pool simply no longer fits your taste or the design of your outdoor space.
