When it comes to durability fiberglass is just as good as gunite. Gunite pools will need major refurbishments every 7-10 years on average. Gunite also needs more maintenance and care throughout the season. Gunite is also rough on the feet and takes much longer to install. However, to your point gunite can be fixed easier than fiberglass if there is an issue. Fiberglass cons are you cannot customize the shape and sizes are limited. I got nothing against gunite. They are the most expensive type of pool because they are amazing. Fiberglass is just as good and has additional benefits I was looking for. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Patriotsfatboy1 1,432 Posted October 26, 2020 Congratulations on moving in. Sucks on the back issue, but hiring a moving company (for us old people) is usually worth it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

True, but I'm cheap saved me at least 1k. I'll take a few days of back issue for the savings. The b1tch of it is I was al done with the heaving moving I was just lifting sh1t to put padding underneath. Three days of heavy lifting caught up to me.

Fiberglass cons are you cannot customize the shape and sizes are limited. I got nothing against gunite. They are the most expensive type of pool because they are amazing. Fiberglass is just as good and has additional benefits I was looking for. Actually I do know what I'm talking about. FIberglass is not as durable as gunite. Just ask any respectable pool builder. A properly constructed gunite pool will outlast you. Under perfect conditions fiberglass can last as long, but most fiberglass installers are not great at their jobs, which is why they install fiberglass, it's much easier to do. Fiberglass tends to leak and repairing the leak is a chore. Gunite does not need major refurbishment every 7-10 years. As I said, the gunite will last over a lifetime. What you might be referring to is the finish over the gunite, which can be several options. The cheapest and easiest is plaster, which can have a short lifespan if pool chemistry is neglected, 7-10 years. There are other more durable surfaces like pebble, or even tile which is the most durable and most expensive. As far as surface texture, most good finishes over are comparable to fiberglass. Fiberglass can fade over time, and it cannot be refinished, which means a whole new pool vs a $10K remodel. You can do whatever you want with a gunite pool. The big problem I see with your pool is depth, it's only 6 feet deep. No diving board, no diving, I'd even be afraid to jump in that shallow of water. So yeah it's cheaper, and my original advice was don't cheap out on the pool, but whatever. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,366 Posted October 29, 2020 The master bed and bath is 10 degrees colder than the rest of the house. There is a noticeable temperature change when you walk into it. So I go up into the attic and these motherfockers didn't insulate the attic. Jesus focking Christ. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Especially with exterior walls. I work from home and periodically inspected their work. Watched them put up dry wall on an exterior wall with no insulation. Made them rip it all out. Should have kicked them out my house. They love cutting corners on insulation and when they do install it looks like shLt. Any crap job like that you are going to find the winners of the world.
