Gunite Pool Contractor in New Canaan, CT

Why a Gunite Pool Contractor in New Canaan

New Canaan combines modernist architectural heritage with two-acre minimum lots. Inland Wetlands Commission review adds 6-10 weeks. Historic District properties may require additional hearings. Ledge rock is common in northern and eastern portions of town. A gunite shell handles all of it - we engineer the steel cage and the shotcrete thickness to the actual site, not to a fiberglass mold or a vinyl liner template.

• Hand-tied #4 rebar cages per ANSI/NSPI standards
• Shotcrete (gunite) shells applied at 4,000 PSI minimum
• PebbleTec, PebbleSheen, or premium quartz finishes
• 15-20 year finish life vs 7-12 for standard plaster
• Custom shapes - rectangles for modernist homes, free-form for landscape-led designs
• Engineered for ledge rock and Inland Wetlands sites
