Gunite & Shotcrete Contractor
Professional Gunite and Shotcrete Services in Reno, NV
Sacramento Prestige Gunite & Shotcrete provides professional gunite and shotcrete construction services in Reno, Nevada and surrounding Washoe County areas. We work with homeowners, builders, and commercial clients across the region, including neighborhoods near Downtown Reno, Midtown, the Truckee River corridor, and areas around Rancho San Rafael Park. With more than 27 years of hands-on experience, our team builds durable concrete structures that require reinforcement, precision, and long-term structural strength.
Reno projects come with unique environmental conditions. High-desert weather, large temperature swings, and challenging soil types can all impact concrete performance if the work isn’t planned and executed correctly. Whether you’re building a custom pool, reinforcing a retaining wall, installing a water feature, or lining a canal or water-control system, we bring the equipment and experience needed to build it right the first time.

Our Gunite and Shotcrete Applications
Gunite and shotcrete are ideal for projects that require a strong structure, custom shaping, and long-term durability. Our Reno, Nevada gunite and shotcrete services include:
Swimming Pools & Spas: Custom gunite and shotcrete pool and spa shells built for strength, longevity, and smooth finishes. These systems are ideal for Reno’s climate because they allow for structural reinforcement and reliable performance over time.
Retaining Walls: Reinforced retaining walls designed for grade changes, slope support, and erosion control. Whether the wall is functional, decorative, or both, we build with proper reinforcement and drainage considerations for long-term stability.
Water Features: Watertight foundations and structures for waterfalls, fountains, spillways, and decorative water features. Gunite and shotcrete provide the strength and shaping flexibility needed for clean, durable results.
Ponds: Functional and decorative ponds built to retain water reliably and withstand environmental exposure. Great for residential outdoor spaces, commercial properties, and landscape-focused projects.
Irrigation Canals: Gunite and shotcrete linings for irrigation channels, drainage structures, and water-control systems. These linings improve flow efficiency, reduce seepage, and strengthen water infrastructure.
Why Choose Us for Your Project

Our Gunite and Shotcrete Process
Every Reno project follows a proven process designed to keep quality high and prevent problems later.
1. Evaluation: We review your site and project goals, then evaluate important factors like soil conditions, access, grading, slope, and drainage. Reno’s terrain and soil types can vary significantly by location, which is why this step matters. It helps determine reinforcement requirements, thickness, and the best approach for long-term durability.
2. Preparation & Structural Setup: Before any material is applied, we install rebar reinforcement, formwork, and framing. This stage defines the strength and shape of the finished structure and ensures the concrete bonds correctly during application.
3. Gunite / Shotcrete Application: Our crew applies gunite or shotcrete using high-pressure pneumatic equipment for consistent placement and compaction. This creates a dense, uniform surface designed to last for decades.
4. Finishing & Curing: After the surface is shaped and smoothed, curing begins. Curing is critical for long-term strength, especially in high-desert climates where heat and dry air can impact concrete if the process isn’t handled correctly.
5. Final Inspection: We complete every job with a detailed inspection to confirm alignment, finish quality, and overall structural integrity. We want the finished structure to meet expectations visually and structurally.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which areas do you service in California?
We serve Reno and surrounding areas throughout Washoe County, including Sparks, Spanish Springs, Sun Valley, and nearby communities. Depending on the scope and scheduling, we may also take on projects in other parts of Northern Nevada. If you’re outside Reno, just call and we’ll confirm availability.
What’s the difference between gunite and shotcrete?
They are very similar and both are excellent for reinforced concrete construction. The main difference is the mix method. Gunite is sprayed as a dry mix with water added at the nozzle. Shotcrete is mixed wet before it’s sprayed. Most customers don’t need to stress about which one is used. The most important factor is that the structure is reinforced properly, applied evenly, and cured correctly so it lasts.

Why is gunite and shotcrete ideal for Northern California?
Gunite and shotcrete perform very well in Reno because they create dense, reinforced concrete that can handle temperature swings and dry high-desert conditions. They’re ideal for pools, retaining walls, and water features because they allow for custom shapes while maintaining strength. With proper curing and reinforcement, these methods hold up extremely well over time in Northern Nevada.
How long does a typical gunite or shotcrete project take?
Timelines depend on the size and type of project. Smaller jobs may take only a few days, while larger builds may take several weeks. Site access, weather, and curing time can also affect the schedule. After reviewing your property and project goals, we’ll provide a clear timeline so you know what to expect.
