They drained the pool and tore out the old tiles. They put in new tiles, repaired the walls of the pull and replaced the pumping. They put in a new deck and regraded around the pool. Then they put in the bond coat and poured the plaster Amazingly well! Beyond what I would have expected. They were professional as could be, called me at every stage of the process to tell me what would happen next, who was doing it and when it was going to happen. They followed up after each stage and were available any time I had questions. I had a scheduler, a planner, a local scheduler, an inspector, about 4 different people I had contact with. They were all amazingly well.

The pool was vintage 1978 initially built by Sylvan. I had it painted a few times. The work done was a joke because the paint it had had a lot of pin holes in it so it was leaching through the paint. That's why I had it redone. In the last eight years or so, I had to re-put the tile back up that the ice kept breaking free. There is a deal of the chemicals that attacked the concrete, so that's an overall problem. Also, I have to paint my walkway so I had to get information on what paints are available because it's discolored in many places.
They came in and did the job quite well. They seem to have a good crew. The design consultant explained things pretty good. Anthony & Sylvan stripped the paint off, cemented the walls at one place where it was in need of it and resurfaced the pool with concrete. I also got new tile job. The end result was quite good. The finish I got took a lot of chemicals and it required a lot of work but the end results are what I'm looking forward to seeing how it stood up over the winter. The pool itself look like a new pool.
There were some questions I had in terms of the rounded plastic over the floor drains that they charged me $750 for. In essence, it was a $20 or $30 deal, so that was a joke on jokes. I had a diving board which the bolts that held the diving board in place I wound up paying $50 some more for, but didn't fit. Sylvan didn't have the parts for the old board even though they did sell me that board initially. I had one skimmer they elbow into the pool but nothing fits. They cemented over it and the old one that didn't fit anymore, so I have one that's working and one skimmer where the water reaching it is not controlled. There's no elbow to position the water coming in and nowhere that it comes straight like out of a pipe. Also, at one time, they showed up when I didn't even know they were coming. The woman that did the schedule was on vacation. The schedule was changed and I had no one to talk to.

I'm a second generation Anthony & Sylvan owner. All I can say is when I move from this house and am looking to build another pool, the decision on who to use is already made: Anthony & Sylvan. And, when my children decide to build, I am sure they will be a third generation owner! Ours has been in for over 10 years and has performed flawlessly. The construction was exactly as promised - on time, on budget, and what we were promised. The team was great to work with. No, they are not the least expensive builder out there, they never promise to be. You have to pay for quality and it is an investment that increases the value of your home. Well worth it.

We went to Anthony & Sylvan for the pool renovation because they were the original builders of the pool in 1984, and I also had other dealings with them before. I had broken something and I couldn't find a replacement part. I ended up calling them up and they were able to get me the exact part I needed, which was great because it was causing a problem with my kids.
The outside of my pool has stones which were very sharp so they were ripping up my kids' feet because it was rough. I went around and priced a couple of different people and what I found was most of the people that I was looking at weren't interested in just a small redo of the pool. They wanted to take the deck apart, and weren't even willing to give me a quote on it. A guy from Sylvan came in and he gave me different options, some more expensive and some cheaper, that he thought I'd be happy with. He also introduced me to the original guy who put my deck on the pool 25 years ago. That man came back and helped me fix the outside of my pool. We left the old coping and he sanded down the outside of the pool, which was the deck. That made it a very economical option for us rather than the $75,000 option that I was getting from other people. They also replastered and retiled.
The renovation design consultant was very helpful. He came out and helped me decide what to do. He was the one who suggested that I just sand down around the pool rather than pull out the deck and put in new stones. He was also extremely helpful with what finish to put on the pool which had many different options. He went as far as putting the little samples in the pool so I could see what it would look like underneath the water. He kept sending me samples via text because I wanted to confirm what tile I wanted around the pool. He was even willing to come back and his drive was around an hour and a half away.
The coordinator was also great and on top of everything. She told me exactly what I needed to do and when I needed to do it. She was there helping me and reminding me with the payment schedule and coordinating every piece of the process. We had to change the schedule a couple of times because it started raining, it rained all summer. I didn't have to worry about anything or do a thing. I've had other people trying to coordinate events and it's usually a disaster. I usually have to take over. And this was perfect. I'd definitely recommend Anthony & Sylvan Pools to a friend. The deck around the outside is now nice and soft, I no longer hear my kids complain that their feet are getting ripped up. And the inside of the pool is very pretty. It has a stone finish and it is extremely smooth. I'm finding that my kids are going in the pool more because they're no longer getting little cuts on their feet when they go in the pool for too long.
