Why Houston Homeowners Choose Concrete Pools

Concrete pools, also called gunite pools, are one of the most popular choices for custom inground pool construction in the Houston area. Four benefits explain why homeowners keep choosing them.

• Lasting durability: A well-maintained gunite pool can last over 20 years before it needs to be replaced or resurfaced, standing up to Houston’s summer heat and heavy rain season after season.
• Limitless customization options: Concrete takes any shape, so the pool fits your backyard rather than the other way around.
• Affordability: Concrete is made from low-cost materials, making new pool construction and future resurfacing more budget-friendly than many homeowners expect.
• Ease of surface repair: When the surface eventually needs attention, concrete pools are straightforward to refinish without full replacement.

Concrete Pool Customization Options

Gunite’s biggest advantage is shape flexibility. Unlike prefabricated pool types, gunite isn’t restricted to standard forms, so we can design a pool that works with the contours of your yard and matches your aesthetic preferences, whether that’s a layout built for family swim time or a space designed for entertaining.

Pool gunite comes in a variety of colors, giving you control over the look and feel of the water. If you want more texture and natural beauty, you can add a pebble surface finish made from river rock. This option is durable, naturally beautiful, and available in multiple colors and patterns to complement many backyard designs.

Gunite vs. Shotcrete: What’s the Difference?

Beneath the surface of every concrete pool is a structural layer of either gunite or shotcrete. Both produce strong, long-lasting pools, but they’re made differently. Gunite is a dry concrete mix that combines with water only at the nozzle tip as it’s sprayed into place. Shotcrete is a wet concrete mix applied fully premixed directly from the hose. Gunite is considered an affordable yet strong alternative to shotcrete, and both are well-suited for residential pool construction.

The right material for your project depends on what’s available locally. Contact our Houston team to learn which option may make sense for your installation.

Pool Permitting in Houston

New swimming pool construction in the City of Houston requires a building permit submitted through the Houston Permitting Center via the iPermits portal. Plans may require review from multiple city departments, including Structural, Planning, Utilities, Stormwater, and Electrical. A health inspection is also required alongside standard building inspections. If your property sits in a 100-year floodplain, a topographical survey and drainage plan are part of the process as well.

Under Chapter 43, Section 43-33 of the City of Houston Code of Ordinances, pool gates must be self-closing and self-latching. We handle permit coordination and code compliance on your behalf, so you don’t have to navigate city paperwork on your own.
