Gunite is a process or method of building a swimming pool. It is widely use around the world and has been in existence for many years. We are not nor do we claim to be the owner to this method or process nor did we invent it. What we do claim is the name Gunite Pools, Inc. that has been spoken all over the Rio Grande Valley for over 30 years. Because of this, we take issue with some builders (or wannabes) that claim to build Gunite Pools. Their obvious attempt is not to state the type of pool they build but to confuse the public of the Valley of who they are. Our focus is and always will be our customers and we will continue to distiguish ourselves from our competition by using innovative construction methods and pool equipment second to none.

With that said let's talk about us. Gunite Pools, Inc is located in the beautiful Lower Rio Grande Valley of Texas. It was founded by Mr. J.P. "Tino" Garcia in 1980 after working for two local competitors. Since then, Gunite Pools, Inc. has built pools all over the Valley as well as Corpus Christi. We honestly believe that our products save our customers time, money and frustration. Our innovative designs, pool equipment and service have earned us the reputation of a quality pool builder.

We are not the largest pool builder in the Valley nor do we want to be. We feel that we will be better able to address your personal needs on a one to one basis than that of myriad of personnel that don't know who you are. If you have dealt with us in the past, we'll probably remember your pool, location, who built it and how old it is.

Our office is located on FM1015N and Mile 12-1/2 in Mercedes Texas. This allows us to serve the entire Valley from a central location. With over 30+years of "hands-on" experience you can rest assured that our staff of pool professionals can address all of your pool concerns.

Simplicity! Our designs, products and services are designed to make use of the your hard earned dollar. Energy efficient pumps, heaters and filters save you hundreds of dollars per year on operating costs. Our cleaners are the most efficient in the business and have superior warranties than that of the competition.

If your shopping for a pool, compare apples to apples. This site is an attempt to show the prospective pool owner the "ins-and-outs" of pool construction and ownership. Check out local pool builder web-sites, better business bureau and ask the pool salesman which companies are respected among their peers. You'll soon narrow down your list of potential pool builders and complete your backyard transformation into a family center for all!

The overall question is "Do we know pools"?

Tino, our Dad, has been in this business since 1967. He knows the ins and outs of pool construction and service...Who's come and Who's gone... He's been around. And as you can well imagine, our family was brought up on the pool and lawn sprinkler business. From the oldest to the youngest....From the phone to the Gunite Nozzle. We've been there...done that. We know Gunite Pools. Give us a call and find out for yourself why owning a Gunite Pool in the Valley is simply Better!
