Reno Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Construction — Residential

Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Construction in Reno, NV

Reno Pool Builders provides professional gunite & shotcrete pool construction in Reno, NV for homeowners across the Truckee Meadows. Gunite and shotcrete pool construction is still the right way to build a pool that survives a Northern Nevada winter.

We tie a steel rebar cage, pneumatically place the shell, and then let it cure properly, because a shell that cures correctly is a shell that does not spider-crack the first time the ground freezes and heaves at 4,500 feet.

Freeform, geometric, vanishing edge, tanning ledge with bubblers, raised spa with a spillover — the shape is your call, the structure is ours.

Every project starts with a 3D design so you are looking at your own backyard rather than a stock photo of somebody else's. From there we handle excavation, grading, steel, plumbing runs, the bond beam, and the electrical bonding grid.

Reno soils are not the easy dig people imagine: decomposed granite, caliche layers, and the occasional boulder field are normal here, so we price the dig honestly instead of discovering the problem on day three and rewriting your contract.

Plumbing gets sized for a variable-speed pump and pitched so every line can be blown out in October, and skimmers, main drains, returns, and the spa loop all get isolation valves. That last detail sounds trivial in June.

It is the difference between a repair and a rebuild in January.

With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, PebbleTec and pebble aggregate finishes, polished quartz plaster, saltwater chlorination, variable-speed pumps, cartridge and DE filtration — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Reno and nearby communities including Sparks, Carson City, Fernley, Sun Valley.

Materials, equipment and how we do gunite & shotcrete pool construction

The difference between gunite & shotcrete pool construction that lasts and gunite & shotcrete pool construction that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete construction, PebbleTec and pebble aggregate finishes, polished quartz plaster, saltwater chlorination, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.

Every Reno job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Truckee Meadows means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.

Services That Pair With This

Before You Book Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Construction

What am I likely to pay for gunite & shotcrete pool construction here?

It comes down to square footage, access, the condition of what is already there, and the materials you choose — gunite and shotcrete construction, PebbleTec and pebble aggregate finishes, polished quartz plaster. We do not price a job off a phone call and a guess. We measure on site and hand you an itemized free estimate with the scope written out, so you can compare it line by line against anyone else's number.

How fast can gunite & shotcrete pool construction be finished?

Most residential gunite & shotcrete pool construction work in Reno runs from a single day to about a week once materials are on site. Weather, permit review and material lead times are the usual reasons a date moves, and you hear about those from us before the crew starts, not after.

Is a permit required for this in Reno?

Yes, on any work that needs one. We file with the Reno building department, schedule the inspection and stay on site for it. Skipping a permit is how property owners end up paying twice — once for the work, and again when it fails at resale or an insurance claim.

Is Reno Pool Builders licensed and insured?

Licensed by the Nevada State Contractors Board. That license is Nevada's and it does not travel: California licenses separately through its own board, so work on the California side of the Sierra is a different credential and a different question to ask.. Fully insured and bonded. Pool & Hot Tub Alliance member.

Every gunite & shotcrete pool construction job carries Written workmanship warranty on every job, and we have been doing this in the Truckee Meadows for 15+ years. Ask any contractor for those four things in writing before you sign — the ones who hesitate are telling you something.

Do you take commercial pool work?

No. Reno Pool Builders is a residential pool contractor. Commercial pool work for hotels, apartment complexes and HOAs is licensed and inspected as a different trade, and we would rather point you to someone who holds that license than pretend. If it is your own home in Reno or the Truckee Meadows, that is exactly the work we do.
