Custom Concrete Pools on the Space Coast
Custom Gunite Pool Construction in Brevard & Indian River County
A gunite pool is built to last, shaped exactly the way you picture it, and made for Florida coastal living. Our team handles every step, from the first sketch to your first swim.
What a Gunite Pool Is
Concrete Pools Built to Last
A gunite pool is built to last. The shell is made from steel and sprayed concrete, so it holds up to Florida's shifting ground and salt air for decades. If you want a pool shaped exactly the way you picture it, gunite gives you that freedom.
At Intercoastal Pool & Spa, we build custom gunite pools across Brevard County and Indian River County. We handle every step, from the first sketch to your first swim, and treat your home like our own along the way.
The Process
How Gunite Pool Construction Works
Gunite is concrete that gets sprayed into place at high pressure. That method lets us build almost any shape, depth, or feature you want. The process starts with excavation, which usually takes one to two days. Next we set a grid of steel rebar inside the hole. This steel frame is what gives a gunite pool its strength.
Then comes the gunite itself. Our crew sprays the concrete over the steel and shapes it by hand. Once the shell cures, it becomes a solid, seamless structure. We finish it with the tile, coping, and interior surface you chose. Interior finishes range from classic plaster to premium pebble and quartz. Pebble and quartz surfaces can last 15 to 20 years, which makes them a smart pick for a pool you plan to keep.
Gunite handles Florida's coastal conditions well. Our sandy soil moves and settles over time, and the steel-and-concrete shell flexes with it instead of cracking. That is one big reason concrete pool construction stays popular along the Space Coast.
The Local Difference
Why Space Coast Homeowners Choose Us
We work only in Brevard County and Indian River County. That focus means you get a gunite pool builder who has built for these exact conditions, not a crew passing through.
We Build for Local Ground
We have learned how local soil drains, what county permit offices require, and which designs hold up in our climate. Our clients in Satellite Beach, Indialantic, Melbourne Beach, and across the Space Coast count on us for that know-how.
Clear Timelines, Honest Pricing
We deliver on time, on budget, and with close attention to the small details. From permitting to the final inspection, you always know where your project stands.
Built to Last for Generations
A well-built gunite shell can serve your family for generations with normal care, made to handle decades of Florida summers.
Is It Right for You
Who Gunite Pools Are Right For
Gunite is the best choice when you want full control over your design. Maybe you want a freeform shape that wraps around a patio. Maybe you want a tanning ledge, a spa, a vanishing edge, or a deep end for diving. Gunite makes all of that possible because we build the shell from scratch on your property.
It also suits homeowners who want a pool that lasts for the long haul. If you would rather have a quicker install with a smooth factory finish, ask us about fiberglass pool installation instead. We build both and can help you compare.

Design & 3D Renderings
Our design team draws up detailed plans and 3D renderings so you can see the pool before we break ground.
Permitting & Schedule
After you approve the design, we pull all permits with Brevard County or Indian River County, give you a clear schedule, and keep you updated as work moves along.
Shell & Finishes
Once the shell is sprayed and cured, we add your tile, coping, and interior surface, then install energy-efficient equipment like variable-speed pumps, LED lighting, and automated controls.

Every pool includes proper bonding, grounding, and safety features that meet or beat current electrical codes. Then we hand you the keys to your new backyard.
The Same Proven Method We Trust
Gunite construction is the same proven method we use throughout our residential pool construction work, so you get a shell built to handle decades of Florida summers.

FAQ
Gunite Pool Questions, Answered
A few of the questions we hear most from Brevard and Indian River County homeowners planning a gunite pool.
How long does it take to build a gunite pool?
Timelines vary with design, weather, and permitting. A custom gunite pool usually takes longer to build than a fiberglass pool because we form and cure the shell on site. We give you a realistic schedule before we start and keep you posted at each stage.
Is a gunite pool good for Florida's soil?
Yes. The steel-and-concrete shell flexes with our sandy, shifting ground, which helps it resist cracking over time. That durability is a big reason gunite is common across Brevard and Indian River County.
Can I add a spa or special features to a gunite pool?
You can. Because we build the shell by hand, we can add spas, tanning ledges, vanishing edges, water features, and custom depths. Gunite gives you the most design freedom of any pool type.
