  This project began after a random guy stopped by the house (we just purchased and had up for re-sale) and told us that the plumbing was collapsed under the kitchen area. We asked a plumbing company we had done business with before for an estimate ($13,000) and thought it was quite high but knew this wasn't a simple project. That plumbing company had been at this property before and already had a disk from the previous year when they ran a camera through the lines. They told us there was the collapsed line under the house and we would need to bypass the plumbing under the house and add a lift station. I checked Angie's List and contacted Will's Plumbing after seeing such great reviews. We began with a couple of estimates back in August 2012. Ian came out to investigate to be able give us an estimate. Ian, a co-worker, and Cindy (from their office) spent time reviewing our existing disk but never saw a collapsed line that the other plumber claimed there was. To make sure they didn't miss anything they came up with a three step scope for the project that included costs. We also asked them for a worst case scenario, which they also did. Each step of the way, I was very informed and dealt with a very friendly staff. They had to tunnel under the house from two separate places and Pedro, the subcontractor who did the tunneling, was excellent. We completed the job last week for half the "other" guys estimate and it was fixed the right way. We can now put the house back on the market knowing the drain will function properlyshow more

  They came on time, worked diligently, and finished in what I thought was record time. Very helpful, professional demeanor throughout.

  Doug Hensarling/ASIM has maintained numerous systems for me over the past 10+ years, both residential and commercial and has done a good job on them all. This is the first time that I was actually able to use him for a completely new system and he did a great job. He was easy to deal with for scheduling, and his crew showed up to do the work when he said they would. Doug was on-site every day to manage his crew and get the job done efficiently. He’s extremely customer focused and he worked hard to make sure that I knew what was going on throughout the whole process. One of the tasks involved with a new system installation is interfacing with the County Health Dept. and their inspectors. An application has to be submitted to the county prior to construction along with a soil analysis and a complete set of plans detailing the location of the tanks and the septic field relative to the building and property lines. Doug took soil samples from several potential locations, then came back and helped me choose the best location based on the site and soil analysis. Once that was determined, he was able to complete the design and submit the application for me. Doug knows the process and the relevant regulations so he handled all of this for me which 1) took away the burden of having to deal with a gov’t agency I’m unfamiliar with and 2) gave me peace of mind knowing that it would be done right. The inspector I spoke with during one of the various observations told me that Doug is one of the best contractors they deal with. Once we got to the actual installation, it went smoothly. The weather has to be considered when doing this kind of work and once it’s started, it has to get done as quickly as possible otherwise you end up with a real mess. They dug the hole and got the tanks set all in the same day. Connection to the building and septic field layout took a couple more days and the final day was for clean up and testing. Overall, they were only onsite for a week and made short work of a pretty large job. As I said earlier, I’ve worked with Doug for over 10 years now and he’s always done me right. He answers calls and texts at all hours and has never let me down when I had an issue or needed help. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for system maintenance as well as someone who needs a new systemshow more

  They came by promptly. The driveway had to be court out in an area to find the leak. They did an outstanding job fixing the leak. A segment of pipe had to cut out and new pipes attached to complete the job. Very pleased with their work.

  We were so excited to have our outdoor patio extended with an outdoor kitchen and new landscaping. Unfortunately what we were sold was not what we received. The project began in April 2021 and had numerous delays due to materials, labor and constant project management shuffles. We would put most of the blame on the lack of communication and follow through from our various project managers. One phase of the project would be "completed" and they would move on to another step. Unfortunately they didn't often finish the first phase and reassured us that the next project manager would resolve any issues. Their business model of a new project manager with each phase may make sense to them but it lacked continuity and hampered the project in our eyes. A few examples: - The concrete team poured the foundation but then didn't remove all of the forms and we had to hound the next two sets of project managers to complete that work. The concrete work was not adequate and it required cleanup because the forms burst and didn't hold. - We had a gutter/drain that was to be incorporated into the concrete and even after we asked them to move it multiple times they insisted it would be hidden. It is not and is an eyesore. - We would be given a date for when work would be done but it was often missed and we would receive no notification. Oftentimes we had arranged our schedule to be available as requested but they would no show. - The Carvestone portion of the project was the worst phase, the team tried very hard but applied the sealant wrong twice and they had to come out an additional four more times. We still have splotches and discoloration that Allied claims is "normal". Overall the project took twice as long to complete and even though we escalated to their Senior VP, issues took forever to get resolved or we just moved on. By no means are we satisfied and would not recommend doing business with this companyshow more

  Very happy with the pool A&S built for us. We, along with the rest of Texas decided to build a COVID pool back in early 2020. We did run into some challenges, but everything has been addressed and we're extremely pleased with our result. Overall, great design and construction but the service afterwards has truly exceeded our expectations. Very grateful to have a company standing behind their build. Dan Barrett, Justin and Daylon have all been fantastic in our follow-up requests. I would build with them again in a heartbeatshow more

  Anthony and Sylvan pools in Austin TX built a beautiful pool for us last summer. Our Sales and Design Consultant Sindo helped us design exactly what we wanted and our Project Manager Mike Newman did an excellent job of keeping us well informed and the crews on schedule all along the way. I highly recommend Anthony Sylvan for anyone needing a new pool. I have heard lots of horror stories about the other builders in town. My sister in law recommended them to us and we couldn't be more happyshow more

  Took longer than I thought it would, but the very cold February winter snap set progress back considerably. Pool is now finished and my family really enjoys the water. If you do build a pool, my suggestion would be to go bigger rather than smaller. You won't regret it when your family comes over to swishow more
