Guniting is HARD work! We know because we all started at the very bottom as extra men and bottom finishers and have worked at every position of a gunite crew. In fact, most people who come into this field don't make it very long. So, while this is a good job, it's not an easy one -- and it's certainly not a job for a lazy or unmotivated moving person!
We always get asked: If it is so hard and such a dirty job, why do you do it? We do it because it's rewarding work. The hours and days are very long, the work is tough and dirty, the climate and elements are harsh, but the pay is good and you get to create something tangible that will last for years and create amazing memories for someone. A well-built swimming pool will last a family a lifetime and provide them with endless hours of fun, entertainment and quality time together. A guniter's job is hard but it's also rewarding and satisfying.
Texan Gunite is located in Central Texas, northwest of Austin in the Cedar Park and Liberty Hill area and services 45+ pool builders and contractors in the Greater Austin Area, and services an area around Austin of about 80-100 miles from its loading yard.
