Your pool should be the easiest part of your property. We keep it that way through dependable care and consistent service year after year.
What is Gunite and Why Renovate?
Gunite is a strong concrete shell used to build in-ground pools, prized for its durability, design flexibility, and long life. Even so, every gunite pool eventually needs renovation to restore its look, safety, and performance.
A well-planned renovation can refresh the surface, replace aging features, and add years of life to your pool. Bona Pools has been renovating pools across Northern NJ since 1960, so we know what works and what doesn’t on the gunite pools in Morris County backyards.
When to Consider a Renovation
Your gunite pool is built to hold up, but years of use and exposure to the elements eventually take their toll. Renovating at the right time keeps your pool looking sharp and stops small problems from turning into expensive repairs. Here are the signs it may be time for a renovation:

Rough or scratchy surfaces, visible cracks, pitting, ongoing staining, and unexplained water loss are the main signs. If your plaster is 10+ years old and showing wear, it's worth having us come out for an assessment.
Most gunite renovations take 3 to 6 weeks from start to finish, but the exact timeline depends on the scope. A simple resurfacing job moves quickly, while a full renovation with new tile, coping, and equipment takes longer. We'll give you a clear timeline before we start.
Plaster is the classic, smooth, lower-cost option, with a typical lifespan of 8 to 12 years. Quartz adds quartz aggregate for a richer look and longer wear, usually 10 to 15 years. Pebble is the most durable and gives you a textured, natural look that can last 15 to 20 years or more.
Sometimes, yes. Small surface cracks can often be patched without a full resurfacing. Bigger structural cracks usually mean a deeper fix. We'll inspect the pool first and let you know whether a repair is enough or if a full renovation is the smarter call.
It depends on the finish you choose and how well the water chemistry is maintained. Plaster usually lasts 8 to 12 years, quartz 10 to 15 years, and pebble 15 to 20+. Steady weekly water testing is the single biggest factor in stretching the life of your finish.
