TurnKey Pool Builders has introduced a dedicated gunite pool construction service for residential customers across the metropolitan region, expanding its scope of work with a full-phase offering that covers every step of the project from initial design consultation through final installation and handover. The company has extended gunite pool construction services to 14 communities, including New Orleans, Baton Rouge, and 12 additional parishes and municipalities throughout the surrounding area.
Gunite pool construction involves pneumatically applying a mixture of cement, sand, and water onto a steel rebar framework to form the pool shell. The method produces a rigid, non-porous concrete structure that can be shaped into nearly any configuration, including classic rectangular pools, freeform organic designs, modern infinity-edge pools, and lagoon-style builds. Project costs for gunite construction in the region typically range from $35,000 to $100,000, with the final figure determined by pool size, design complexity, and additional features selected by the homeowner, according to TurnKey Pool Builders.
The service is available throughout New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Covington, Gretna, Hammond, Harahan, Kenner, Laplace, Madisonville, Mandeville, Metairie, River Ridge, Slidell, and St. Rose. The coverage spans communities across both sides of the greater metro corridor, including areas north of Lake Pontchartrain and municipalities along the Mississippi River corridor.
TurnKey Pool Builders describes its construction workflow as beginning with a free on-site consultation in which its team assesses the property and reviews the homeowner's design preferences and functional requirements. The company then produces a 3D rendering of the proposed pool, allowing clients to visualize the completed project before any construction begins. TurnKey Pool Builders also manages the permit application process with local municipal and zoning authorities on behalf of the client. Once permits are in hand, work proceeds through excavation, site preparation, steel rebar installation, gunite application, and a curing period before moving into the finish phase.
Finish options available through TurnKey Pool Builders include decorative tile and coping along the pool perimeter, integrated water features such as waterfalls, fountains, scuppers, and sheer descents, custom lighting systems using LED and fiber-optic fixtures, and pool deck construction in concrete, pavers, or other suitable materials. All project phases are managed under a single contract, with TurnKey Pool Builders coordinating trade scheduling and site logistics from excavation through final walkthrough.
"We manage the project from the first site visit through to the day the homeowner takes possession of the finished pool," a company spokesperson said. "Permitting, excavation, the gunite application, and all the finish work are handled under one roof, so the client has a single point of contact for the entire build."
The regional environment suits Gunite's structural characteristics well. High humidity, warm temperatures, and soil movement common to the area can stress pool structures over time. According to industry construction standards, the monolithic concrete shell made by the gunite method is less likely to shift and suffer surface damage than vinyl liner and fiberglass systems. TurnKey Pool Builders backs its gunite work with warranties covering both the pool structure and the installed mechanical systems.
In addition to gunite pool construction, TurnKey Pool Builders offers inground pool installation, custom pool design and planning, pool remodeling, pool renovation, pool replastering, pool equipment repairs, and spa construction for residential clients across its service area. The company also operates preventative maintenance programs and provides ongoing equipment repair services for clients beyond the initial construction phase.
