Anthony & Sylvan Pools

They did a fantastic job with the installation of our pool and we are very pleased. I will definitely recommend them and absolutely use them, again.

The entire process went exactly like they said it would. They checked with me every step of the way and made sure I was happy before moving on to the next step. They were careful not to leave messes and we were very satisfied. We have recommended them to others.

They came out to the home and helped with the design. They built it just like the design, the even produced graphics to show what it would look like. It was very professional and good value for money.

Anthony & Sylvan Pools, Houston, finished our new pool in spring of 2016 and we are completely thrilled with the pool AND the company. We have been swimming for about a year and a half now. We chose A&S pools after reading hundreds of reviews and interviewing 4 pool companies, and I was familiar with them for having built many pools in my home state and ones I grew up swimming in. We first interviewed A&S two years ago, and had Phil at the Houston location draw up a design for us. We also interviewed a small company that had built some neighbors pools. We weren't impressed with the smaller company's ideas and what they said during the interview. At the time we had too much going on and placed the idea on hold for a while. Then we called Phil from A&S again recently (which was 2 years later) and told him we were ready, and wanted to get his new pricing and had a few design changes for him. He still had our design on file, and he came out to discuss it further. We interviewed 2 additional other companies just to be fair and help make the decision, for a total of 4 companies in all. We showed them all a collection of photos that we had found on the internet of what we wanted. They all listened and came up with similar designs to each other but we noticed that they all had different design elements, materials, warranties and were including (or not including) different things. Some said we definitely needed something, and the other company said you definitely don't want that. There were pretty big differences. Once we realized this, we told them all that we needed to compare apples to apples and had them all build the same pool on paper with the same dimensions and same choice of materials. This resulted in them almost coming in about $1000 from each other. Finally the decision became obvious when we went with how comfortable with the company we were, keeping in mind the different guarantees, and the hundreds of reviews we looked at. Some companies had no reviews or just as many bad as good. We decided that we could NOT go wrong with Anthony Sylvan with how much BETTER their reviews were than everyone else, and again the fact that I was familiar with the company already. It seemed like the smartest and safest bet, also with someone that has been in business for over 70 years, and not changing their name because of bad practices like other companies. Boy were we right. I don't know how many times during the build we said "Wow am I glad we chose Anthony Sylvan and not one of the others." Our pool is about 26,000 gallons of pool and spa combined. They finished it in only 28 days from dig to water. 28 days! We did have good weather thru 90% of the project. This exceeded our expectations because we were told 6-8 weeks. We are used to contractors so we thought maybe 8-12 weeks. This was an end of winter/early spring build, so they were less busy than in the summer. Michele in scheduling provided us with a schedule online for each task to be completed that we could refer to. This was adjusted by Michele for rain and crew availability. It was nice to follow along. She was magnificent during the whole process. Their local pool showroom did not have a ton of choices of materials available, so we asked them what local tile companies supplied them, and we went to the massive show rooms of the tile companies and chose what we wanted, and then told A&S what the names were and it was not a problem at all. Glad we did! The workmanship on the pool is excellent. Lupe our project manager was great and everything is working as it should. There were small things along the way that needed attention, but we told A&S and they took care of all items quickly. We even made quite a few small changes to the pool along the way as we saw it being built and thought about things. A&S was great about accepting the changes and making it happen. As long as it isn't too late in each phase, you can do so, but of course be conscious of where they are in the process, and keep it to a minimum. We widened the pool by 4 feet and added decking square footage. Glad we did. At then end we had pool school with Brad that showed us how to operate it and take care of it. He knows what he is doing and was a very professional teacher. Also John helped us program our pool lights and did an excellent job as well. We didn't have ANY unexpected costs come up from A&S. That was a pretty huge deal to us and was a concern while interviewing the 4 companies. Some of the others we interviewed said that if the pool caved in after the dig and before gunnite due to heavy rain, that they would split the cost with us, or come to some kind of deal! Other people have been charged thousands by them for that. No way! A&S covers that, and even though it wasn't an issue for us, it was comforting to know that it would be covered. They were very trustworthy and their estimates were right on. No extra costs for plumbing nor electrical. The price of the contract was the price the pool cost. We are extremely happy we chose Anthony Sylvan to build our pool. Everyone involved was great, and we give them 5 stars as a company. As good as it gets! People that have come to see our pool say it's one of the best pools they have seen. Lots of compliments. It continues to be great in workmanship and operation. We are thrilled with our pool. They are a solid company with a ton of great reviews and happy customers, and we are added to that list. -Mark and Kelli, Houston

It went pretty good. They talked us through what they were going to do and they did everything exactly as they said they would.

Awesome! It was smooth sailing from start to finish. Everybody from the salesmen to the crews were very professional and they just did a wonderful job!

They were a great bunch of guys. Any problems or questions that I had the Project Manager took care of everything. This was the closest thing to maintenance free that I ever had.

It was great! I was actually out of the country and my wife handled everything. It all went very smoothly.

Excellent! The planning began with our Sales Rep, Phil Kinney. He did a great job capturing the details of our design and offered us with many options to help us close the deal. There was never any pressure. Price remained as agreed. David was assigned as our project manager. He also was very attentive to the schedule and also knowledgeable with the product. It was evident that both Phil and David maintained great communication to ensure a successful project. The turnaround time was about 4-5 weeks. During this time, all the trade hands worked very well, never an issue. As a final testament, this is our second pool with Phil Kinney and Anthony & Sylvan. Thanks...we, our friends and family are very pleased with the final product.

Pool construction went as planned. The time from when they first dug dirt out of the ground to actually having water in the pool only took 5 weeks. They were professional and showed up per schedule unless if there's rain. There were a couple of issues but were resolved timely. Phil Kinney, our project designer, was great and provided very good suggestions during the design phase regarding plaster color, recommended equipment and other aesthetic issues. We are very happy we listened. He also was involved with resolving other issues during the construction phase. I would definitely recommend this company and will use them again in the future.

I was thrilled! They were on time to the site and on time for the project completion. I was pleasantly surprised at the organization and communication among the subcontractors used.

It went really well... there were a couple little hick-ups, but they corrected these minor things in a very timely manner. They were on time, clean up was very good, very professional and I would highly recommend them to others.

They are knowledgeable, do quality work and over was well manged. I was impressed with the quality of the work. It did take a little long than anticipated, but I didn't mind based on the quality of work.

They were really helpful throughout the whole project. They were very upfront with what was going on with the project. They're very tech savvy and they updated the project website with weekly progress to keep me informed. I always knew what was going on with the project and was kept in the loop. Everything was very very good.

They always followed up and provided great detailed information to maintenance of the pool They cleaned up well after all working days. They finished the job right on time.

This was the first time I've built a pool, it went really well. The sales team helps design to meet your needs. We work really closely with us for the layout. Then selected tile decking at the design center. Then assigned project manager who works with you thought the project. They were really responsive with meeting need and requests. Very accommodating working with timing. They have a really good warranty. I feel comfortable that they will be around for a long time.

The sales process was amazing, and going through the project, we had a project manager and a website that tracked the process. Everything was very easy and very nice.

It went very well. The sales person did an outstanding job listening to what we were looking for and designed the pool around our likeness. It was what we were looking for, not what he wanted to design. He worked on the computer with us and showed us examples based on what we described with him. The experience took about 90 days. The workers were extremely thorough and professional and cleaned up after themselves each and every day. We are very satisfied with the pool. We showed our neighbors one night this week, and I think they're going to use Anthony & Sylvan Pools. The neighbors were even happy with the contractors that came and went, because they were so good at keeping everything so clean.

Did not hire .Too high and did not know what they were doing.

Although we had some rain delays the job went well. They were very helpful and very professional. They walked us through the stages from design to finished project. Always made aware of schedule. I would highly recommend them.

They did a pretty good job. I would highly recommend them.

It went well. Everything from the sales piece to the actual design/layout, construction, and post installation. I would recommend them to other interested parties. I think that the sales person was extremely knowledgeable, the scheduler was on top of things, the supervisor for the construction was available when needed, the workmanship and quality was just what we expected, and if there was anything that we had questions about or any concerns after the pool was installed, they followed up with us and made sure we were satisfied.

It went really well, we were really happy with it. We are just now able to swim in the pool, and we are happy with everything. This is actually the third time I've used Anthony & Sylvan Pools.

We think the process was pretty painless and the outcome is beautiful.

I liked their service. This was the second pool they built for us. They are very thorough about their work. Their scheduling was right on time. Their construction manager, Michael Avalar, would come in after each portion of the construction to keep us up-to-date on the progress. The small issues we did have, he addressed them right away.
