Service
Commercial & structural gunite.
South Coast Gunite shoots structural and commercial gunite across Houston and the Gulf Coast — for commercial pools, aquatic structures, and large-scale concrete work built to spec. As an experienced gunite contractor, we also work as a subcontractor for pool builders and general contractors who need a reliable crew for the structural shell.

Gunite creates exceptionally strong, monolithic structures — ideal for commercial aquatic facilities, water features, and engineered applications that have to perform under load and weather. We bring 20+ years of shooting gunite to every commercial project.

Common questions
Do you work as a subcontractor for pool builders and general contractors?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. Builders and GCs bring us in to shoot the structural shell and hand it back ready for the trades that follow. There is a page specifically for that: send plans or dimensions and get a bid on the shell.
Do you shoot gunite or shotcrete on commercial work?
Gunite. Both are sprayed structural concrete over a steel frame, but gunite is the dry mix, with the water added at the nozzle by the nozzleman, while shotcrete is batched wet at a plant and arrives on a ready-mix truck. We shoot gunite because the water stays under the control of the person placing it, nothing starts setting until it leaves the nozzle, and the rig can pause between sections in Gulf Coast heat without a load going stale. If a spec calls for wet-mix shotcrete, say so when you send plans and we will tell you straight whether it is a fit.
What kinds of commercial work do you shoot?
Commercial pools and aquatic structures, engineered retaining walls, water features, and structural concrete applications that have to perform under load and weather. Work is shot to the engineer's specification.
Why use sprayed concrete instead of formed and poured?
Because it does not need two-sided formwork. Sprayed concrete is placed against one face, so curved, sloped and irregular structures that would be expensive or impractical to form can be built directly, and the result is one continuous piece rather than an assembly with joints.
