Gunite Works Inc

Who they are

Gunite Works works out of East Bahama Road in Winter Springs and holds two Florida contractor licenses: CPC1457339, current since November 2006 and running to 2028, and CPC1457690, added in May 2008. Two live licenses usually means a second qualifier in the business. Eighteen years is a long run, and the name says what they are: gunite is the sprayed concrete that forms a pool shell, and it is the specialism this company is built around.

What they build

New pool construction, renovation, spas and water features, with the shell work at the centre of it — their site carries a page explaining the case for gunite specifically. That specialism is genuinely useful to understand if you are choosing between construction methods, because almost no builder in Florida states theirs at all. It also shapes who deals with them: a good deal of shell work is done for other builders rather than direct for homeowners, so if you are hiring them yourself, establish clearly which parts of the job are theirs and which belong to whoever finishes it.

Where they work

Winter Springs, Seminole County and the wider Orlando area. They publish no pages for individual towns, so there is nothing documenting the reach — confirm your own address. Their site was updated in July 2026.

What the record shows

Google has them at 3.2 from twelve reviews, which is well below the 4.52 average across Florida's builders — but twelve is a small enough base that the average itself is not the point. Half of those twelve are five stars, and three customers name their professionalism, so there is a real body of satisfied work here. What is worth reading is what the negative half is about, because it is consistent and it is not about pools. Three separate reviewers describe damage from the company's vehicles on public roads: rock and concrete debris coming off their trucks on the central Florida highways, in one case quantified at over seven thousand dollars of damage to a car, with the reviewer stating the company refused to disclose its insurer or accept responsibility. A third describes a near miss with a company pickup. A separate account alleges invoices for materials that were not installed or delivered. None of these is a complaint about a finished pool, and it is important to be clear about that — nobody here says the shell work was bad. What they describe is how the company conducts itself away from the job and how it responds when it is asked to put something right, and on a record of twelve that is three people saying the same thing. If you are considering them, that points at one specific thing to settle in advance and get in writing: their insurance details and the process for reporting damage, before any vehicle of theirs is on your road. It is an unusual thing to have to ask a contractor for. On this record it is the right question.
