Gunite Shaped for Watts Bar Waterfront Grades
Around Harriman the ground rarely comes flat. Lots step down to the Emory River, tilt toward the Watts Bar reach, or ride the ridges above town, and that is exactly the terrain gunite was made for. Because a gunite pool is formed and shot on-site, we shape the shell to the grade you actually own: stepped into a slope above the water, wrapped around a lake view, finished with a beach entry, an infinity edge, or an integrated spa. We engineer the excavation, steel, retaining details, and drainage for Roane County soil and for waterfront grades where slope and runoff have to be respected, not guessed at. This corner of East Tennessee is home turf for our team, so a Harriman build gets fast local response, no travel markups, and one project manager from layout to first swim. We hold Tennessee contractor license 77919 and carry a 4.9 star rating across 41 Google reviews, backed by 16+ years building across East Tennessee.

Frequently Asked
How much does a gunite pool cost in Harriman?+
Most custom gunite pools in the Harriman area run $95,000 to $350,000+. Size, depth, and features drive the number, and on Emory River and Watts Bar lots the grade often adds engineering, retaining, and drainage work that a flat yard never needs. Because every gunite pool is custom, we price to your design and your site, then give you a detailed, no-obligation quote after we walk the lot.
How long does it take to build a gunite pool?+
Plan on about 8 to 12 weeks. Gunite is formed, shot, and cured on-site rather than delivered as a pre-made shell, and that time is what buys you a pool shaped exactly to your lot and your view. Permitting happens before the dig, and we set the full schedule with you up front.
Should I choose gunite or fiberglass?+
Near the water it usually comes down to the lot. Gunite wins when the grade slopes toward the lake, when crane access is tight, or when you want a custom shape, a beach entry, an infinity edge, or serious depth, and it carries the highest resale value of any pool type. Fiberglass is faster and lower-maintenance where the site is more forgiving. We build both, so we will tell you straight which one your property calls for.
Can you build a gunite pool on a sloped or lakefront lot?+
Yes, and this is exactly where gunite earns its keep around Harriman. Because the shell is shaped on-site, we can step a pool down a grade toward the Emory River, terrace it into a ridge above the Watts Bar reach, or build behind a lake house where a one-piece fiberglass shell could never be craned in. The steel, retaining details, and drainage all get engineered for the slope and for Roane County soil.
Do gunite pools hold up in East Tennessee winters?+
Yes. We engineer the shell, decking, and drainage for our freeze-thaw seasons and for Roane County ground, and we winterize the pool correctly, so the structure rides out the cold without heaving or cracking year after year.
Can I finance a gunite pool in Harriman?+
Yes. Pool financing is available so you can treat the project like any other major home improvement and turn the cost into a monthly payment. Ask and we will point you to the current options.
Are you a licensed gunite pool builder in Harriman?+
Yes. We build under Tennessee contractor license 77919, fully insured, with a 4.9 star rating across 41 Google reviews earned over 16+ years across East Tennessee. The Harriman area is home turf for our team, not a long haul on the schedule.
