Gunite actually is easier to shape a pool to your dreams and desires. You can’t do that with liner kits and it cost a lot if you call a liner pool company to modify the steel sidings. But gunite allows you to make custom shape the pool and add any swimouts, benches, beach entries, and waterfalls to your hearts desire. Gunite cost a little more, but I'm confident you will like its advantages.

If you want to use the best subcontractors, then I suggest building the pool in the fall and winter because you won't be able to get the better crews in the spring when everyone else, like us, are building their pools. There are dozens of pool subcontractors in our area, but I quickly learned that only a few have a good reputation and they are scheduled three months ahead. Now your area might be different, so that is another question I would ask, our Pool company had to make some deals just to get the excavator he likes best to come out and dig our pool on Saturday. They were not happy about it either. You or I could never have that kind of pull.
