Every Claim, Backed by Data.
Average Permit Approval
We've pulled permits in 47 California municipalities. Our permit coordinator handles every document, every revision, every callback — so your build date doesn't slip because of city hall. The 14-day average is tracked across our last 200 projects.
Gunite-to-Swim Window
From the day our shotcrete crew finishes spraying your shell to the morning you can swim: 3.2 weeks on average. That includes plaster cure, equipment startup, water chemistry balance, and our final inspection walk. We publish this number because we can back it up.
Change-Order Surprises
Our fixed-price contract locks every line item before a single shovel breaks ground. Material escalations, labor overruns, weather delays — those are our problem, not yours. In 16 years, no Gunite client has ever received an invoice higher than their signed contract.
Pools Completed, Zero Abandoned
Every pool we've started, we've finished. We require a 20% deposit — not 50%, not 60% — because a contractor who needs your money upfront is a contractor who's already in trouble. Our completion rate is 100%. That's not a tagline. It's a public record.
Other Builders' Contracts
vs. Ours.
Ask any contractor for their contract before you sign. Most will stall. We publish ours because the differences are the entire argument for choosing us.
This comparison reflects industry-standard contracts reviewed from 40+ LA/OC pool contractors, 2024–2025.

"We had two contractors ghost us — one mid-design, one after the deposit cleared. Gunite showed us their license number on the first call, locked our price in writing, and the crew was in our backyard on the exact date they said. Eleven weeks later we were swimming. That's it. That's the whole story.

"I'm a property investor. I've done four pools with four different contractors over the years. The others all had change orders — the smallest was $4,200, the worst was $31,000 over contract. Gunite's fixed-price guarantee isn't marketing. I've tested it. Final invoice matched the signed contract to the dollar.

"I spent 18 months on Pinterest. I knew exactly what I wanted and I was terrified to hand that vision to someone who'd cut corners. Gunite walked me through every material choice, explained the tradeoffs honestly, and delivered a kidney-shaped pool with a raised spa that looks exactly like my saved photos. The warranty seal on my paperwork is the first thing I show guests.
