Custom Gunite Pools in Moore, Oklahoma
We design and build custom gunite pools for Moore families. Gunite is concrete sprayed in place over a steel frame, which is why a shell can curve around a swing set, a patio, or the storm shelter door you already planned the yard around. Every project starts in the 3D Pool Design Studio , where you draw the pool at real dimensions, on a photo of your own backyard if you like, before anyone schedules a visit.
What changes at a Moore address is the paperwork. The city runs its residential permitting through an online portal, and a pool cannot break ground until that review clears, so the permit step sits inside our build sequence rather than off to the side. If you are comparing pool builders in Moore, OK, ask each one how they treat that step. What never changes is the first move, a free design and estimate at your home, with the number put in writing after we walk the yard.

Building in the city that rewrote its code
Moore rewrote parts of its rulebook after the May 20, 2013 tornado. The city council moved to amend the building code, and in 2014 the Moore City Code picked up wind resistance requirements for new single family construction. Today the city lists the 2018 International Residential Code among its adopted codes, and permits and inspections run through one portal, mooreok.govbuilt.com, where an application can be followed from review to approval to final inspection.
For you, that portal is mostly a window. The permit review sits early in our nine-stage build sequence, digging waits until the city clears it, and that is exactly the kind of question we come ready to talk through at the free site visit.
Moore itself sits in Cleveland County, with Interstate 35 and U.S. Highway 77 running through the city limits on their way between Oklahoma City and Norman. Backyards here work hard. If yours already holds a fence line, a trampoline, or a shelter door, the pool gets drawn around them rather than over them. The work is the same set we offer across the metro, new gunite pools, remodels, and retile and replaster work, measured against your lot instead of a brochure.
From the project library
Every line in this pool curves
Nothing in this photograph runs straight. The shell is a freeform, an outline drawn as a loop of arcs, and the coping, the stone cap that rings the water, follows it bend for bend. Nearest the camera a tanning ledge, a shelf sitting just under the surface, opens into its own circle, the spot where small kids wade and an adult parks a chair in the water. Two red loungers mark the far curve, with boulders and planted pots softening the fence line behind them. Shape, ledge, coping, deck width. Each one is a control in the studio, and you can set them all over a photo of your own backyard before we ever meet.

Before you build in Moore
Do I need a permit to put a pool in at my Moore home?
Plan on it. Moore requires building permits for most residential remodels, additions, and improvements, and for all new construction, and an in-ground gunite pool is serious residential construction. Applications go through the city portal at mooreok.govbuilt.com, where a case can be followed from review through approval, and the permit stage is part of the build sequence we walk you through at the free site visit.
Does the wind resistance code Moore adopted after 2013 apply to pools?
The 2014 amendments Moore adopted cover new single family home construction. A pool is permitted as residential work through the same city portal, and the city has the final word on how current requirements touch any given project, so bring the question to the free site visit. The shell itself is gunite over a steel reinforcing cage at every address, in Moore and everywhere else we work.
We already have a storm shelter in the backyard. Does a pool still fit?
Often, yes. The layout has to keep the shelter door clear and respect utility lines and fence setbacks, which is exactly what the free site visit sorts out. You can test the idea tonight by loading a photo of your yard into the design studio and drawing the pool around the shelter.
How do we start from a Moore address?
The same way the rest of the metro does. Open the studio and arrive with a design, or skip ahead and book the free design and estimate. We come to your home, walk the yard, and follow up in writing, backed by more than 30 years spent in the swimming pool industry.
The next step
See a pool in your own Moore backyard first
The 3D Pool Design Studio runs in your browser and is free to use. Draw the shell at real dimensions, add a tanning ledge or a spa, and set the whole design on a photo of your backyard. When it looks right, send it over and book the free design and estimate. We measure the drawing against your actual yard and the city's requirements, then the estimate arrives in writing.
