The Aqua Doctor Way to Build a Pool

A great pool starts long before the water goes in. We plan every detail and build it to last, the same way we have since 1996.

Designed Around You

Gunite is our specialty. It gives you the most freedom in shape, size and finish, and it’s built to last. Aqua Doctor designs every pool around your yard, your home and how you plan to use it. Want a shallow play area for the kids or a long swim lane? We build it to fit.

What Is a Gunite Pool?

Gunite is a concrete mix sprayed over a steel rebar frame. Once it cures, it forms a solid, one-piece shell. The shell is then finished with tile, coping and an interior surface. Because it’s shaped on site, it isn’t limited to factory molds or standard sizes.

Designed Without Limits

Almost any shape works, from classic rectangles to freeforms that follow the curve of your yard. You choose the depth, steps, benches and tanning ledges. Planning a diving board? We’ll set the depth and layout to fit it during design.

Strength and Longevity

Steel and concrete make a strong, lasting shell. Over time, the surfaces can be refreshed with new plaster, tile or coping instead of replacing the pool. When that day comes, our gunite renovation team can handle it.

Surface Finishes

The interior finish sets the color and feel of your pool. We offer a range of quality finishes and help you pick the one that suits your style and how you use the pool.

Built-In Features

It’s easy to build features right into the pool. Think tanning ledges, benches, waterfalls, sheer descents, deck jets and LED lighting. Planning them during construction gives the cleanest result. See our water features and lighting.

Built Year-Round, Built to Last

Most gunite pools take 10 to 16 weeks to build, depending on size and complexity. Our heated domes let us dig, spray and finish in the coldest months, so your project stays on schedule. Call (973) 236-0160 to book a design consultation.
