A traditional gunite pool renovation typically includes repairing or replacing the tile, coping, patio, skimmer, and pool surface. In Smithtown NY we rebuilt most of the Gunite swimming pool due to the wall's deterioration. Often in New York, we face unique challenges due to the harsh regional climates, including severe freeze-thaw cycles and intense summer heat, which requires gunite pool resurfacing.
Over time, the gunite pool's plaster surface can deteriorate. Issues you may see include flaking, peeling, stains, roughness, discoloration, cracks, rust spots, and dislodged pebbles or aggregate. The deterioration can affect the pool's structural integrity and aesthetics.
Factors that can cause deterioration include:
Water chemistry: Aggressive water chemistry, such as pH levels that are too high or too low, can break down cementitious products over time.
Poor water balance, such as low calcium hardness, can also cause pitting.
Repetitive impact: Abrasion or impact to the surface coating can also cause deterioration
Maintenance practices: The quality of the plaster and maintenance practices can also affect its lifespan.

Negative Edge Trough
Gappsi rebuilt the entire trough including new negative edge tiles and a marble top. A negative edge is when only one side of the pool is lower than the deck level. The homeowners feel that the water is disappearing into nature from the house or deck. It is, of course, a visual effect. It is undoubtedly best known because it has a significant aesthetic impact. It reveals all its beauty on the ground with a slope, but it can create a beautiful effect on almost flat land.
New Porcelain Tiles for Waterline - Gunite Pool Renovation
Waterline tiles are a must-have for inground gunite pools, as they protect the perimeter and make it easier to remove buildup from hard water and other sources. They can also prevent a yellow ring from forming around the pool's edge due to sunscreen, body oil, and other substances. Waterline tiles can also be used to customize the look of the pool with different designs. On this Gunite pool renovation, we installed new porcelain tiles on the waterline.
Porcelain tiles are a great choice for gunite pool waterlines because they are durable, non-porous, and resistant to water.
