How Long Does It Take to Build a Custom Gunite Pool? Here’s What to Expect from Arista Pool & Spa

One of the very first questions we hear from homeowners is simple and direct: how long does it take to build a pool? It is a fair question. When you are investing in a custom backyard retreat, you want to know when you will be able to enjoy it.

At Arista Pool & Spa, the average time it takes for us to build a custom inground Gunite pool is 6 to 8 weeks. That timeline often surprises people. Many companies quote much longer build times. We are able to complete projects efficiently because building high end custom Gunite pools is all we do. Our experience, organization, and dedicated crews allow us to move with purpose without ever sacrificing quality.

If you are thinking about getting on our build schedule for 2026, now is the time to start the conversation.

Why Our Gunite Pool Projects Move Faster Than Most

Decades of Focused Experience

Arista Pool & Spa only builds Gunite pools. We are not a general contractor who occasionally installs a pool. We are not splitting our time between fiberglass, vinyl liner, and concrete builds. Our entire process is built around one thing: custom inground Gunite pools.

Because of that focus, our team understands every phase of construction inside and out. From excavation and steel reinforcement to Gunite application, tile, coping, and finishing details, each step flows into the next. Our crews know the rhythm of a properly managed project. That efficiency reduces downtime and eliminates unnecessary delays.

Streamlined Scheduling and Coordination

A pool build involves multiple trades and inspections. Without strong coordination, projects can stall. Our process is refined. Materials are ordered in advance. Crews are scheduled with precision. Inspections are anticipated, not reacted to.

This level of organization allows us to consistently complete most pools within 6 to 8 weeks. We move quickly because we know exactly what needs to happen and when.

Why We Only Build Gunite Pools

The Most Durable Pool Structure Available

Gunite is widely considered the strongest and most durable type of inground pool construction. It is a form of concrete that is pneumatically applied over a reinforced steel framework. Once cured, it creates an incredibly solid shell that can withstand shifting soil, changing temperatures, and years of use.

When you invest in a Gunite pool, you are choosing a structure designed to last for decades. That long term durability is one of the main reasons we build only Gunite pools.

Unlimited Customization Options

Gunite pools are also the most customizable option available. Because they are built on site and formed by hand, they are not limited by pre manufactured shapes or sizes.

With Gunite, you can design:

• Freeform lagoon style pools

• Geometric modern designs

• Infinity edge pools

• Integrated spas and tanning ledges

• Custom steps, benches, and swim outs

Your backyard is unique. Your pool should be too. Gunite allows us to tailor every detail to your vision and your property.

Long Lasting Beauty

Gunite pools offer a wide range of finish options, including premium plaster, pebble finishes, tile accents, and custom coping materials. These finishes not only enhance the look of your pool but also add to its longevity.

When built properly, a Gunite pool becomes a permanent and valuable extension of your home.

Does Faster Mean Cutting Corners? Absolutely Not.

Some homeowners worry that a shorter build timeline means shortcuts. At Arista Pool & Spa, that is never the case.

Our ability to build custom inground Gunite pools in 6 to 8 weeks comes from experience and process, not rushing. We have spent decades refining how we build. Our results speak for themselves in the quality of our finished projects and the satisfaction of our clients.

We focus on:

• Proper steel reinforcement

• Precision Gunite application

• High quality materials

• Skilled craftsmanship at every phase

• Clear communication from start to finish

Building efficiently does not mean building carelessly. It means building with confidence and expertise.
