Anthony & Sylvan Pools

We decided on a cement (gunite) pool since my too concerns, cracking and porusness were unfounded. It is not done yet and may take 6-8 weeks total. I would have preferred it to move more quickly!

They did a fantastic job! Rick is a pleasure to work with and was able to meet all of our specifications with the design. Joe was able to handle any installation issues we encountered and did a great job. The installation was incredibly fast as well.

Truly customer friendly

Over all communication within the company was poor. Appointments were made with us and twice the workers showed up several days later and only after we called. The pool had to have touch up painted as the tape was left on for a week before it was removed. The workers were very courteous and worked hard while here. The overall problem was with the scheduling staff.

I contacted several pool companies to start my interview process.  Out of the three I selected to have personal visits and interviews, Anthony & Sylvan was by far the best choice.  My consultant, Phil Kinney, was prompt and full of ideas to complete my design.  Phil was a great communicator who led me through the initial process.  A big factor in my decision to select Anthony & Sylvan as my builder was their warranty process.  Smaller builders could not touch the warranty A&S offered.  Please pay close attention to potential costs while building as well as future repairs when you're searching for your builder.  If something goes wrong during the construction process like a hurricane that causes the excavation to fail, you're likely going to be on the hook with most companies. Another concern when dealing with smaller companies is handling trades who may go unpaid.  This can be a major headache if they file a mechanic's lien on your home.  Because A&S is a national company and use the same subcontractors year-round, this was not an issue. Again, because they are a national company, Anthony and Sylvan offered me discounts on some of the higher end features I wanted for my pool. I believe I received more for my money.  We built during the height of the season.  Our building time, even with HOA delays and the busy time of year, was still reasonable.  My only regret is not building it several years sooner!  Since installation, we've had only minor issues that were addressed through the warranty department.  Our pool and spa are gorgeous and very low maintenance. I would not hesitate to build with Anthony & Sylvan again. 

Great job on building the pool.  We worked with Phil Kinney at Anthony & Sylvan.  He was professional and responsive from day one until the end of the project.  He did not try to oversell anything to us and very honest and dependable.  We had limited space in our backyard due to an easement and Phil was able to provide us with his design ideas for a spool (spa/pool combination).  We are very happy with how the pool turned out.  We got exactly what we wanted given our lifestyle.  We were also happy with the crew and the additional work (stamped concrete and stone wall).  We picked Anthony & Sylvan because they are a proven company and have a good name in the business.

Phil was super responsive and then he handed us to the project manageemnt team. The project team was available every day to answer questions and were able to accept"on-the-fly changes and ammend the contract as needed.  I got some money back on one part, added a little on another, etc... it was easy and clearly on the level.  Be warned - your yard will look like a war zone for five weeks.  Then it will be beautiful!

Absolutely no communication , no one oversees the job , it took 8 times to get the rebar done and it's still of by 4 inches!!!

The final result was very good.  They did a very professional job.  The quality of the pool was excellent.
