A custom gunite pool in East Tennessee runs $95,000 to $350,000+ and takes about 8 to 12 weeks to build. It is sprayed in place over steel, so you get unlimited freedom in shape, depth, and features, plus the highest resale value of any pool type.
- Cost: $95,000 to $350,000+, driven by size, finish (plaster, pebble, or quartz), features, and site conditions like rock or slope.
- Timeline: about 8 to 12 weeks from excavation to swim, with weekly updates.
- Unlimited design: beach entries, vanishing edges, raised spas, tanning ledges, grottos, and water features are all on the table.
- Built to last: the concrete shell is essentially permanent (30 to 50+ years); only the interior finish is refreshed over time.
