Anthony & Sylvan Pools

Built Our Pool in 1978. Sylvan built our pool in '78 and we had it renovated. Everybody from their team, from the design consultant to the people who handled scheduling and coordination, has been very nice and helpful. They replastered the pool and it came out very nice. We like the new surface and it looks like new again.

My parents did a pool with Anthony & Sylvan. Then I got them to construct our 40 by 20 rectangular pool with overspills and a raised spa. I had an issue with the pool but the project manager was very helpful. I like the size of the pool and the Jacuzzi. I enjoy it with my family and my kids.

We heard about Anthony & Sylvan through a friend and we decided to choose them based on reputation and more on price. Our pool is a free-form with a spa that goes over into the pool. I like the overall aesthetic of the pool, the way it fits into the yard and also the spa. We interacted frequently with the project manager throughout the design process in figuring out what we wanted. And as far as scheduling goes, everything was done in a timely manner. We got calls, had a good time, there's been a reasonable amount of time to get the pool scheduled and done. Overall, I like being able to let my children enjoy it, watching the friends enjoy it and complete our weekend for the summer.

I have a pool with an attached Jacuzzi that has a waterfall going in. It is 16 years old and Anthony & Sylvan were the ones that built it. I looked to see if they did renovations. I then saw the work that they did and it just made sense to use someone like Anthony & Sylvan. I was very satisfied with them the first call around. The woman that I was dealing with laid out the number of days when they would be there. They showed up on a Tuesday morning just as she promised. They took down all the tile work first. She told me the next day there would be another team, and they were there, got the new tile in and prepped the body of the pool. Then they had to wait one day before they could deal with it. After we arranged for a meeting, the gentleman showed up to show me what different type of surfaces were available. Since I was also doing tiles around the pool, he brought the samples of different types of tiles. He even had pictures of what color the plaster would look like when it was soaked with water so I got a very good picture of that. He laid everything out right so it was easy to see what all might look like. It was a very easy process and I was very pleased with his recommendations on the type of materials to use and we went forward with it. They redid all of the tiles around the pool and in the Jacuzzi and then resurfaced the entire pool on the inside. That entailed taking more of the tiles out. They then prepped the pool, scratched it, put a bonding agent and got it ready for the final coating. I've made my pool as a cantilever top, so the coping goes right into the pool. They filled the entire area around the pool with silicone and it really looks beautiful. I changed the tint on the inside. It was white on the inside so it looked bright, and I like that. It's got some blue stones and it's very nice. So everything was like clockwork. They were there exactly when they said they would be there. They got it done in actually less time than I had anticipated. Even on the last day when they came, the truck showed up with all of the plaster first thing in the morning at 8 o'clock, ready to roll and got it done all in one day. They turned up and wrapped the hoses so that they wouldn't stain and they helped me fill the pool up. It was a surprisingly pleasant experience. Once they set the commitment, they were able to keep it and the work was carried out. The consultant called several times just to make sure that I was happy with everything and that makes a big difference. I was even surprised at the price as it was very, very fair. I was expecting to pay more for the tile and the resurfacing but it was very pleasing to see that it was a good price and was first-class work. I'm very happy with it and I'm exceptionally satisfied with the renovation that was made.

My swimming pool is approximately 20 years old and was originally built by Anthony & Sylvan, so I chose them for the pool renovation. They did the replastering, and I like the sailfish mosaic at the bottom.

Anthony Sylvan Pools installed a 25 by 45 free form in ground gunite pool for us over the summer. I had several other contractors bid the project for me, but Sylvan blew them away on pricing, they were basically half. We figured that since they were a big company and much less money we would have to put up with aggravation, but we were pleasantly surprised that there was none. They ran the project perfectly from start to finish which took aproximately 30 days. The quality of work was superb, having owned several other custom gunite pools I can attest that the work was top notch. The contractors they used were professional and efficient, they also were onsite when they said they were going to be. The deck mason they recommended was fantastic and also did a great job. Anthony Sylvan is a first class operation with a first class product, I cannot recommend them enough.

Anthony & Sylvan refinished the surface of the pool. No tiles, just the granite. Their salesman was very good and attentive. The only thing negative I have to say is that when it came time for the installation, they didn't advise me fully of what is required of me to have ready when they got here. They did it 8, 9 months in advance and actually, it's the contractor that did it before and so when it came time to install it, I had to scramble to get everything ready for what they needed. They're very good.

We had a granite pool installed by Anthony back in 1986. And our neighbor across the street had some work done on her pool. My wife said, “Who did it?” They said, “Anthony.” My neighbor across the street is just very thorough with getting estimates and costs and all that stuff. When we called the company, a salesman came over. We liked what we heard. And they are familiar with the construction that I wanted. So I chose Anthony because I had already used them in the past and my neighbor had a very good experience. They renovated the pool. It's a granite pool so they had to remove the coping, the tiles, plaster. They put in the steel pipes and the concrete. It's a brand new pool. Both my wife and I had extraordinarily positive experience with one of their employees. Her name is Pam **. She's the renovations coordinator. We must've asked her a zillion questions via the phone or email. She got back to us in an extraordinarily timely fashion, always with a smile on her face. What I expected, they exceeded a little bit more.
