Killeen Pool Builders provides professional gunite & shotcrete pool construction in Killeen, TX for residential and commercial properties across Bell and Coryell counties. Gunite pool construction gets you whatever shape you draw rather than whatever shape came out of a mold, and around Killeen the shape is the easy part. The hard part is what's under your grass, because most Bell and Coryell county lots sit on shallow Edwards limestone and caliche, and rock is the single biggest swing in a Central Texas pool price. There's a real difference between a yard that digs with a standard excavator in a day and one that needs a hydraulic hammer or a rock saw for a week. So we probe the site before we hand you a number, instead of writing rock in as a change order and surprising you in week two. If we find something ugly, you hear about it while you can still move the pool ten feet left. Design comes first either way. We do 3D layouts so you can see the thing against your actual house before any steel goes in, because a pool that looks great on paper and blocks your back door is still a bad pool. From there the build runs in stages you can watch: layout and dig, then steel, then plumbing and electrical rough-in, then the shell, then tile and coping, then deck, then interior finish and startup. Rebar tied on 12-inch centers with a thickened bond beam. Concrete placed pneumatically at 4,000 PSI so the shell is dense the whole way through and not only where the trowel touched it. Dual main drains under VGB-compliant covers, and 2-inch suction lines, because undersized pipe is a mistake you can't fix later without a jackhammer. Then a week of wet curing before tile goes anywhere near it. Shells that get rushed at that stage are the ones showing shrinkage cracks in year three, and by then everybody has forgotten why. Figure 8 to 12 weeks from first cut to first swim on a typical build, and longer if spring decides to rain for a fortnight, which it does. Sloped lots on the west side of town need an engineered retaining plan, and that's a line item worth pricing honestly up front rather than discovering in month two. Now the honest part. If what you actually want is a 14 by 28 rectangle with a bench and no ledge, gunite is the expensive way to get it. A fiberglass shell will buy you the same swim for less money in a third of the time, and we'll install one of those instead without sulking about it. Gunite earns its money on freeform shapes, tanning ledges and Baja shelves, spa combinations, sport pools with a flat 5-foot bottom, and any yard with an awkward corner to work around. We pull City of Killeen permits, book the inspections, and keep the same crew on your property start to finish. You'll know the foreman by name by week two, which is worth more than any brochure.
With 15+ years of experience, our licensed and insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, white plaster, glass mosaic and porcelain waterline tile, travertine coping and decking, variable-speed pumps — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Killeen and nearby communities including Temple, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, Belton.

Materials, equipment and how we do gunite & shotcrete pool construction
The difference between gunite & shotcrete pool construction that lasts and gunite & shotcrete pool construction that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, white plaster, glass mosaic and porcelain waterline tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Killeen job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in Bell and Coryell counties means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
