Approximately four years ago we decided to have our Gunite Pool renovated. We received several bids to perform and total renovation including pumps, heater and filters. We ended up selecting Anthony Sylvan as the contractor. The process did not go well. I ended up taking days off from work in order to ensure the construction work was being performed properly. We noticed several areas of concern within the first two years. When I called customer service they said they could not help us. Any repairs would result in a fee. These issues included but are not limited to: Anthony Sylvan took unapproved shortcuts by using all the existing pool fixtures, including spa jets, filter basket housings, filter baskets, spa pool light and pool return jets. These all should have been replaced with new since they were almost 30 years old. The new pool heater circuit board has been replaced four times with service visit charges. Now we are told we will be charged for additional units and the cost of service. The heater was a lemon to begin with and should have been replaced. Pool piping was reused rather than running new pipe to the pool pumps and filters. The pools cantilevered Concrete work was not secured properly and has since become detached and loose around the Spa area. The Gunite did not reflect the initial Blue color we selected and we were told that the variation was normal. The Gunite is already cracking at the pool steps. Customer service there was nothing they could do unless we wanted to pay for the repairs. Recently the 2.5 HP Filter Pump seized. I was informed by the technician that these pumps are made not to last and that was the probable cause of the failure. An $800 dollar failure. The pump was over sized for the pool when we renovated. The original size was 1.5 HP. (28 years with no problem)

There chemicals are better than any pool supply store. Their chemicals work very well and last longer. The people in the store are all very nice. The manager takes the time to explain everything in detail. He explains how to use the product and in what order you should sue them. The store is also spotless, very clean.

The experience was excellent. I owned a sylvan pool. We built it at our other house. We had it for about 18 years. We recently moved and we called sylvan again. They were extremely knowledgeable and right from the beginning the experience was very good.

I was there last week and the sales person was very helpful. He told me what I had to do and how to solve my problem. They helped me carry heavy things out to my car, and they always go out of their way to help please all of their customer. I have no complaints.

They use their own contractors. They took the job and ran with it so we didn't have to deal with. We got a good quality product. They were open to all suggestions and changes. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pool. The communication was a key success in the process and they always have someone to get in touch with to get things.

It was painless. We had heard from multiple people the process was unorganized and negative things. Our experience was nothing like that. The contractor was very communicative and the subcontractors were on time. They cleaned up after themselves and it only took 6 weeks.
