Riverside Pool Builders provides professional gunite & shotcrete pool construction in Riverside, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Inland Empire. Gunite is what almost every custom pool in the Inland Empire is made of, and for good reason: it lets us build any shape, any depth, and any raised feature you can draw.
We tie a steel rebar cage, pneumatically place the shell, and then give it a real wet cure.
That last part gets skipped constantly out here, because in 100-degree Riverside heat a shell will flash off and look finished in an afternoon while it quietly loses the strength it should have had. We keep it wet.
Freeform, geometric, vanishing edge, tanning ledge with bubblers, raised spa with a spillover — the design is yours and it starts as a 3D model of your actual yard, not a stock rendering.
From there we handle excavation, grading, steel, plumbing, the bond beam, and the electrical bonding grid.
Inland Empire lots hide decomposed granite, caliche layers, expansive clay, and old agricultural fill, and any of those change the dig, so we price it honestly rather than issuing a change order on day three.
Plumbing gets sized for a variable-speed pump, and every line gets a valve at the pad so a future repair means turning a handle rather than cutting a driveway.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, PebbleTec and pebble aggregate finishes, polished quartz plaster, saltwater chlorination, variable-speed pumps, cartridge and DE filtration — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Riverside and nearby communities including Moreno Valley, Redlands, Perris, Menifee.

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 construction, PebbleTec and pebble aggregate finishes, polished quartz plaster, saltwater chlorination, 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 Riverside 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 the Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
