The design was really incredible. We live on a hill and they were able to actually build the pool into the hill. The design is perfect. Overall they were really good about keeping in communications with us. We had a few other issues with the landscape around it but that wasn't due to the company.
Description of Work: They constructed and installed a pool.

Spend the extra $$ and hire someone who will use reputable sub contractors. While A&S make it look like all their subs are separate entities on paper (for obvious liability purposes) they are all owned by A&S. While some execute their portion of the project without a hitch, others do the quickest job they can to get to the next. Then you are stuck dealing with management to things right. It will be 4 years this fall and I am still trying to get things corrected.

We are very happy with the product. The workman ship is phenomenal, and their attention to detail shows. Everyone who see it is breath taken. The water falls, decking, and the stonewall are amazing. We had previous landscape work in the back yard and they made sure all of our trees were good! They did their best to make sure everything survived. They walked us through every stop of the design process. They made a suggestion to do a larger Spa and we are very happy we took the sales mans advice, he really looked out for our interest and they are top notch. Everything was worth the price.

My initial expectation what that my pool was going to look like new immediately after the service, but it didn't meet my expectiations. However, after the water was in the pool for awhile it started to clear up, and now it does look like new. I just wasn't given the proper expectations on the process from the beginning, so I was unhappy at first, but now I am satisfied a month later.

A&S was great on all levels. The work was done in a timely and professional manner. The only delays were weather related, but A&S quickly rescheduled. The sales and service staff were great before, during , and after the install. Small issues arose (like any large project) but the A&S staff immediately corrected the issues. After completion, I utilized the pool service staff for a few service issues (covered under warranty) and the service was handled very quickly, resolving my small issues. More importantly no cost to me. I visited the Chantilly, Va, store on a regular basis for free water testing and all around pool care questions regarding the pool maintenance. The store was an Invaluable resource for a 1st time pool owner. Also, used them to open and close the pool for the summer and winter season. I would totaly recommend A&S for pool constrution, retail store, and service calls. Great company with outstanding service.
Description of Work: During thr spring of 2016, Anthony & Sylvan (A&S) constructed a 20,000 gallon gunite swimming pool for my family. Pool opeing, closing, retail store in Chantilly, Va and service calls.
