Frequently Asked Questions About Swimming Pools on Long Island
Gappsi designs and builds three types of inground pools for Long Island homeowners: gunite (concrete), vinyl liner, and fiberglass. Gunite pools are the most customizable; they can be built in virtually any shape or size and are ideal for high-end, one-of-a-kind designs. Vinyl liner pools offer a smooth, comfortable surface at a lower upfront cost, while fiberglass pools are a faster-installation option with a low-maintenance finish. During your consultation, Giuseppe Abbrancati will help you evaluate which type best fits your yard, budget, and long-term goals.
Timeline varies depending on pool type and project scope. A gunite pool typically takes 8 to 14 weeks from permit approval to completion, depending on the complexity of the design, weather, and municipality. Vinyl-liner pools can sometimes be completed more quickly, in about 6 to 10 weeks. Permit processing time in Nassau and Suffolk County adds additional time before construction can begin, typically 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the town. Gappsi handles the permitting process on your behalf and keeps you informed throughout.
Gappsi offers a wide range of interior plaster finishes to suit different aesthetics and budgets. Options include traditional white plaster, gray and black marble dust plaster, quartz (Diamond Brite), glass bead finishes, Hydrazzo, and natural stone pebble finishes. Each finish varies in texture, appearance, durability, and price. Pebble and quartz finishes generally last longer and resist staining better than standard white plaster. All finish samples are on display at the Gappsi showroom in Smithtown, NY, so you can see and touch them before making a decision.
Gappsi offers an extensive selection of coping and patio materials, all viewable at their Smithtown showroom. Options include natural stone (bluestone, limestone, travertine, granite, marble), porcelain pavers, and concrete paving stones. Natural bluestone is a popular choice on Long Island due to its durability and classic look. Porcelain offers a modern aesthetic with very low maintenance. Gappsi also imports natural stone directly, which means a wider selection and more competitive pricing than most local contractors.
Gappsi works with the leading pool equipment manufacturers, including Pentair, Hayward, Jandy, Raypak, Autopilot, Sta-Rite, and Waterways. Equipment options include saltwater chlorine generators, ozone sanitation systems, gas heaters, heat pumps, LED lighting, automatic safety covers, solar covers, diving boards, water slides, DE and cartridge filters, and Fastlane lap swim systems. Gappsi will walk you through every option during the design phase so you can make informed choices that match how you plan to use your pool.
