Anthony & Sylvan Pools

Designer came, asked some questions, took some measurements. Never heard back from him or his company.

We are very happy with the results. We had a rough draft sketch of the pool area on the initial appointment at our house. After finalizing the design and getting the approval from the HOA, they waisted no time with getting the project complete. From the date they started digging to the day we were able to get in and enjoy the pool was 30 days. They said 4 to six weeks. Expect 6 weeks. We got lucky. The weather cooperated extensively. I highly recommend having them design and install your pool. They were also less expensive then what we were told from companies at the Home and Garden shows we attended. (By about 20 - 25K)

I don't typically leave reviews but have to say that our experience with Anthony n Sylvan pools has been amazing. Rick Blatter our salesman and David Agular our pool foreman have been on top of everything. They have taken alot of time to answer every question and have went above and beyond on anything asked. The best part is I'm a shift worker so they even accommodate my sleep schedule so to not wake me when I work nights.

I live in Baytown, TX and I have a recently installed Anthony and Sylvans pool. We love our pool! I am beyond happy with my choice. My salesman Rick Blatter was very honest and enthusiastic. He was very well prepared and blew any competition out of the water in my eyes. He was very well prepared. If you do your research, there is no better pool warranty. Michele Hokanson was our coordinator. She was helpful and was there for us every step of the way. I honestly have her cell phone number and I text her any time that I have questions, in which she promptly answers me. This is probably out of her job description since my pool is finished and I still text her, I don't even use her work phone! I could not be any more pleased with my choice.

On time and budget could have cleaned yard a bit bettter

Overall experience went great. Exceeded my expectations for sure.

All went as expected. The only regrets I came out with is i wish i had got the automatic pool cleaner and a second skimmer. I feel the salesman shares some responsibility for this as he talked me out of the cleaner and did not recognize the need for the second skimmer. Construction wise all materials seem to be of good quality.

I was very impressed with their service. They stayed on schedule, were very professional and did a good job.

Everything went great. The pool is beautiful. We participated in a promotion for their 70th Anniversary and I am not surprised that they've been in business for that long because the final product exceeded our expectations.

it went very well, no issues. I was pleasantly surprised at how quick they were.

It was an easy process considering it's not an easy project. My only problem was not getting a lot of options given to me in the beginning. I should have done more research and known of the small different options. My project manager was great. The contractors and sub-contractors were all great.You never know with a big job like this how the sub-contractors will be but they were all very good. They all were friendly and cleaned up after themselves. If they had any questions they would have me out to ask me. Now that they are getting busy and we just have a few things left on my project I am having trouble getting them to return my calls. I just want it all completely done. The only thing I had trouble with was not having options given to me and things explained in the beginning. Out of everyone I talked to they were the best for this project.

I was really impressed with the quality of work and craftsmen ship. We did our research and were very pleased with the results. They put travertine tile down, a waterfall, and flagstone around. There's a 4 ft wall on one side that acts as a privacy area. We even have a little sun deck area and a fire pit as well. The workers were really impressed with their work as well, and they even took photos because they enjoyed doing the more customized projects. We even stayed in touch with the designer during the project, and had great responses when using the warranty a few times as well. I would highly recommend them.

Terrible. They wasted four months of my time until the summer ended. One problem after another and I finally pulled the contract.

The work is excellent. The warranty is excellent. The price was a little high, but you get what you pay for, so you pay a little more for better quality.

Design with Phil was good. No issues there. Construction process was a nightmare. Started at the end of June still waiting on them to fix my tile and coping. The pool was dug incorrectly, and we had to tell them it was wrong. This caused delays and there was no effort to get us on track. We were told construction would take 4-6 weeks rain could cause delays. It took 7 weeks and we only had rain once up until the very last week. The tile crew cut the tile on the tile that was installed. We have saw marks in the tile that they installed. I have been trying for weeks for them to get out here and fix it. Still not fixed. The tile crew came out 4 times already. The PM should have been on-site when they came out the last time. They said that I would know 24 hours in advance of when crews would be onsite. Crews either didn't show up or showed up on days they weren't supposed to be there. If a crew didn't show up I had to contact the project manager, Paul. And basically was told ya they probably aren't going to show up. In my opinion, the PM should check in with you regularly and stop by during the process, and let you know If the crew isn't going to make it. We paid a premium to go with Anthony and Sylvan to get good service and craftsmanship. We feel we didn't get either. If I had to do this process all over again, I wouldn't. I will not recommend this company in the future.

I shopped around a lot of pool builders over a year. Phil Kinney from Anthony and Sylvan Pools was the most knowledgable person and he knew exactly what I wanted. I made a few changes to the original design and he was very accomodating. He even talked to the owner and tried to get the best price for the options. I added many pricey options such as travertine and glass tiles yet they were able to beat any competitions who only offered higher cost with smaller pool with concrete decks. The construction started in April when it almost rained everyday. Despite the difficulties related to the inclement weather they tried hard to keep the construction going. At the end it took almost 3 months to finish the project but they did not compromise the quality. I am very satisfied with the result. We jump in the pool almost everyday and haven't encountered any problems at all.

It is perfect. I just called in and let them know what I needed done and they came out and built my pool. They listened to everything I wanted specifically and they built it exactly how I wanted it built. From beginning to end, I lead the project and what needed to be done. It was wonderful.

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.

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!

It was great. We love them. We are very happy with them. I liked their design. They had an estimate and plan for us within one day. They were very organized with having their workman scheduled. Sometimes I couldn't reach anyone while the work was happening. They were very efficient and proactively gave me their schedules. They kept everything clean. I have recommend them to friends.

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

They were very professional and experienced. I felt extremely comfortable with them. The scheduler, Amy Flood, was extremely helpful. She was on top of the steps that were needed to make the job complete. She was very friendly and easy going.

My neighbor was building a pool with Anthony & Sylvan Pools out of Houston. For excavation they accessed my property and delivered all of the dirt to our home. The crew came early in the morning just as the scheduler Amy Flood had told us they would. The crew followed directives for access perfectly and there was no issues. As they dug the pool the dirt removed was brought to my pasture and spread out and graded. The crews really knows what they are doing. All crews after that were professional and extremely clean for a construction crew. Your office staff is amazing. Amy really went out of her way to make this process seamless for all of us. We enjoy the pool as much as the people that purchased the pool and share the care and maintenance responsibilities. I would highly recommend Anthony & Sylvan to anyone looking for a pool installation and we (my neighbor and I) have already referred a customer and they are set to break ground on 10/13. Once again I will be receiving the dirt from their project and I look forward to the same courtesy and professionalism we received the first go round.
