Anthony & Sylvan Pools
I have had no problems with them and I have been satisfied with their service. I like Sylvan pools, as well. We had a Sylvan pool back in the 90s and our new pool we have now is also a Sylvan Pool.

Omni Pool Builders and Design
We were very pleased with Omni Pool Builders and Design. After visiting several pool building companies, we chose Omni Pool Builders and Design for their professionalism, quality of product used and quality of workmanship. The process went very smoothly and their time lines were realistic for completion. The employees are very knowledgeable and addressed any questions we had. I would definitely recommend Omni Pool Builders and Design for anyone considering building a new pool. We had a great experience!

Anthony & Sylvan Pools
Anthony and Sylvan Pools did an outstanding job. From sales, to installation, to getting the pool up and running, A & S was there every step of the way. Never did we feel any pressure to purchase unnecessary items. I would highly recommend Anthony and Sylvan Pools.

Subcomm Pools
My pool couldnt even be called a pool at the time an estimate was provided. The previous owner of my home atempted to turn a liner pool into a concrete pool and use kitchen tiles along the wall. Needless to say the base of the pool cracked, broke and I could literally see dirt. The service manager at Subcomm pools communicated their concerns and the quoted price along with their plan of action. They communicated consistently and always kept me abreast of what was going on. They are very courteous and will go the extra mile to ensure I was satisfied. They took the time to answer any questions that I had. They also directed me to reading material that assisted with the maintenance of my pool. Very courteous staff and hard working. They were in the heat of the sun and still kept driving on. I would bring them a pitcher of water and ice everyday and they were very grateful.

Elite Pools
Elite Pools is one of the few pool contractors with a license in the District of Columbia. Elite Pools installed an in-ground concrete pool, rectangular, 36'x18', with diving board. They also installed concrete decking. It was a good experience, particularly from the point of view of costs, some of which were presented a la carte. I would recommend them to others.

Wilcoxon Construction, LLC
They did an excellent job. This is the company that many of the pool companies subcontract with for pool plastering, coping repair and tile work. If you go to one of the pool companies, you might get Wilcoxon and you would pay more than if you went to them directly. A neighbor got several estimates from the big pool companies and Wilcoxon was a fraction of those estimates.

Anthony & Sylvan Pools
The pool install was timely considering the pandemic circumstances. I think more explanation could have been provided for some of the material choices, but overall the pool turned out beautifully.

Anthony & Sylvan Pools
In 2019 we decided on buying an inground pool. Jeremy Siebert was our salesman but ended up also being our project manager as he was so responsive to any of our enquiries. Jeremy checked on our pool regularly, interacted with our county when they had queries, and hurried the sub contractors along. The pool was completed in time for a huge celebration that we had arranged. Anthony Sylvan were aware of the date, and Jeremy was the person who made it all happen on time. We are thrilled with our pool. It has provided endless fun luncheon, and get togethers. Our association with Anthony Sylvan has not ended. We signed up for the Winterization contract. They opened our pool on time and closed it up again for winter. We give them 5 stars!!!

Anthony & Sylvan Pools
Great customer service, great follow through, and great attention to detail. The finished product is great! The technician who came out to train us on the pool did a great job with communicating to us all of the features and operations of the pool.

Anthony & Sylvan Pools
A&S subcontracts nearly every step of the installation and takes no responsibility for their contractors. Decking contractors failed inspection and had to redo decking twice, mediated by customer, not A&S. Raypack heater never had connectivity to Jandy wireless system. A&S took no responsibility for issue and gave up, leaving customer with defective product. Never saw sales representative after breaking ground. Update: Could not edit previous review, so posting update: Had issues w/ heater and customer service was quick to respond and remedy. Provided name and direct line so I could contact in the future. Appreciate the attention to customer's needs.

SUPREME POOL SERVICE
Supreme pool did an excellent job -- delivered the project on time, on budget, and without damaging all the plantings around the pool area. I highly recommend Supreme. Hard working, communicative, responsive, and dedicated to doing a great job!

Anthony & Sylvan Pools
After meeting with multiple pool companies, we felt most confident in hiring Anthony & Sylvan to build our pool. We worked with Tom Bowers to design the pool. Even though he was the designer/salesman, he remained part of the entire process and continued to check-in with us, answer questions, and advocate for us throughout the entire process. He is very personable and a man of his word. Tyler Swavely was our project manager. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. As new pool owners, we relied on Tyler to explain a lot to us throughout the build. He always answered our questions and reassured us that everything was perfect. He never made us feel that any question was too small to answer. Halfway through our build, Tyler trained Brian Akstulewicz to take over as our project Manager. Brian was nothing short of amazing. Our pool was complete in April 2020 but Brian continued to answer phone calls, respond to texts and even facetime with us to help troubleshoot. He was very responsive and 8 months later he is still supporting us and answering our questions. Tom, Tyler, and Brian were wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend this team and Anthony & Sylvan to anyone thinking about building a pool! They make a stressful process enjoyable and exciting!

Swimstyle Pool & Spa Inc
I got quotes and made all the arrangements to use them for our pool closing and a repair. I sent pictures and all the info they needed MONTHS ago. They came out to see the pool I thought they would be our go-to pool company. Then when I tried to schedule them I got a call from someone in their office saying the don't do closings or repairs on my type of pool. Their repair person WAS OUT HERE and saw the pool and gave me a quote. Now I'm in immediate need and I'm stuck without a company to do the services.

Perfect Pools
Hired Perfect Pools to install a pool in 2019...after a brutally painful process of getting the pool done, all centered around HORRIBLE communication or simply NO communication, I was happy to be done with Perfect Pools. Unfortunately in 2021 my LED lights stopped working. No worry as I had a 3 year warranty with Perfect Pools...after at first being told by Adam, owner, that they would come look at it, I was then told by Gary, not sure his role, that they would not and to call a 3rd party. I contacted them only to be told that they couldn't come out. Eventually I found the authorized Jandy warranty provider that ordered the new lights and came to install. When they ran into a problem I emailed Perfect Pool 3 times to get assistance...NO RESPONSE! Finally i was able to get the company that maintains my pool to get the lights installed but of course it was on my dime! Perfect Pools STINKS!!!!!! Stay away....they will be very responsive up to the point they dig the hole....then....good luck getting a response!

Anthony & Sylvan Pools
I worked with Tom Bowers and Tyler Swavely with Anthony & Sylvan to design and build a pool in our new house. Due to the public health emergency, we unfortunately knew we were not going to be able to have a big birthday party for my daughter. So, in building the pool, I asked Anthony & Sylvan up front if we would be able to have the pool complete and ready to swim by her birthday for a small family birthday pool party. Despite a busy summer with COVID-19 restrictions, the Anthony & Sylvan crew delivered quickly, worked around some tough weather conditions (rain), and ultimately delivered on an amazing pool. The pool was right on point with what I was thinking in our design, and the Anthony & Sylvan team helped to turn what I was thinking into reality - and better than what I was thinking. The Anthony & Sylvan team was easy to work with, very thoughtful, responsive, and delivered on a great pool. I have recommended them to others, and will continue to recommend them.

Anthony & Sylvan Pools
The project was to install a new pool from scratch. We started in Oct with the design of the pool. Overall the design process went well. The excavation took place in December and the concrete for the walls went in in Jan. From here, the schedule completely fell apart. Despite the amount of money you will pay for the pool, you as the customer will be expected to perform a lot of the oversight of the sub contractors and you are on the hook to clean up after them. March turned into April. By late April, we had figured out that our project manager had left the pool company. Our project made slow progress but by mid May the pool pump equipment was installed. By early June the pool deck was poured and the water was put in by the end of June. Despite having a new project manager, you will not see the PM on days when big events are happening, you will be on your own to make sure the project is put in correctly and that the sub contractors clean up after themselves. It is now late August and the pool has failed county inspection three times for various different issues. Do you expect hiccups along the way on a big project like a pool - Yes and we had quite a few. After all was said and done, A&S corporate headquarters stepped in and is doing what they can to ensure the project gets finished in the manner it should of be. Will you get a pool installed - Yes. Will you have to do a lot of supervision - Yes. However, for the amount of money that you will spend and how long you will look at the final product, I find it difficult to recommend using this company.

Anthony & Sylvan Pools
The Company was quick to answer all our questions and very helpful. They even added extra tile to the stairs. The renovations far exceeded our expectations and the plastering and bonding I would highly recommend because it made our pool so beautiful and new again. We were able to pick out beautiful new tile for our entire pool. This pool was really built solid as when we took off the coping we were not sure what to expect, and it was in good shape with no structural damage so we just up-graded our look. We look forward to enjoying our Anthony & Sylvania pool for many years to come. I would highly recommend them to build or do your pool.
