FAQ
Pool Building Questions — Matthews, NC
How much does a custom gunite pool cost in Charlotte?
Custom gunite pools in the Charlotte area typically range from $80,000 to $250,000+, depending on size, features, and site conditions. Every project is unique — during your free consultation, we'll provide a detailed estimate tailored to your specific vision and property.
How long does it take to build a pool?
A typical custom gunite pool build takes 8–14 weeks from groundbreaking to completion. The timeline varies based on design complexity, weather conditions, permitting, and any additional outdoor living features. We'll provide a detailed timeline during the proposal phase.
What is a gunite pool and why is it better?
Gunite (also called shotcrete) is a mixture of concrete, sand, and water applied pneumatically to create incredibly strong, durable pool shells. Unlike fiberglass or vinyl liner pools, gunite allows for completely custom shapes, depths, and features. Gunite pools last 50+ years and can be refinished, making them the gold standard for luxury pool construction.
Do I need a permit to build a pool in Charlotte?
Yes, pool construction in Charlotte and Mecklenburg County requires building permits, electrical permits, and often zoning approval. If you have an HOA, their approval is also required. We handle all permitting as part of our full-service approach — you don't need to navigate the bureaucracy yourself.
Do you offer financing for pool construction?
Yes! We've partnered with Lyon Financial, the nation's premier pool financing company, to offer competitive rates and flexible terms. Many of our clients find that financing makes their dream pool more accessible than they expected. Visit our Financing page to learn more and get pre-qualified.
