"I had my pool installed by Anthony & Sylvan in 2019 we are now in 2025 and my copping of my pool looks like crap that?s because Anthony & Sylvan uses cheap materials. I call Anthony & Sylvan customer support and I complained to them and they said that they can?t help me because my warranty is no longer in effect. I spent around $90k for my brand new pool and expect for materials to be much better so me and my family can enjoy our pool, but now I have to replace my copping and it will cost me around $12,000. I am very pissed off and angry. People please be on look out if you are planning of using Anthony and Sylvan for your pool. They are good at selling but they will buy cheapest stuff around. So be on look out. "

""Unfortunately, our experience has been extremely disappointing. Communication throughout the process has been poor, with long stretches of silence and repeated failure to respond to emails or calls. There was no clear follow-up on progress, and we constantly had to chase for updates. When we receive responses, they were often filled with vague explanations or shifting excuses for delays due to the weather.

"Avoid Anthony & Sylvan Pools — Unreliable, Unaccountable We hired Anthony & Sylvan for what was supposed to be a high-end pool build. Four years later, we’re left with a crumbling mess: tile walls falling apart, leaks damaging the deck, and widespread delamination confirmed by multiple engineers. It’s a structural failure — not wear and tear, not our fault. They denied our warranty claim outright. We had to hire a lawyer and go public just to get a response. Even then, they blamed us and offered a limited repair only if we signed an NDA and removed our reviews. This wasn’t a minor issue — it was a full breakdown caused by poor materials and workmanship. A fix could’ve taken a few days. Instead, they dragged it out for months while doing everything they could to avoid accountability. Their customer service is all smoke and mirrors. They don’t stand by their product, and they care more about protecting their reputation than doing what’s right. You’re better off with a reputable local builder who won’t hide behind lawyers and paperwork when things go wrong."

The best reason to get a pool is because you’ll enjoy it regularly. While a swimming pool may not have a high return on investment—averaging 7%—it offers significant personal enjoyment and can enhance your lifestyle. If you love to swim and host gatherings, installing a new pool is a worthwhile investment.
A pool’s lifespan depends on the materials used and the quality of maintenance it receives. High-quality in-ground concrete or gunite pools last 50 to 100 years when maintained properly, with the requirement to resurface every 10 years. Above ground pools have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Fiberglass pools last 25 to 30 years, and vinyl pools remain durable for over 20 years if the liner is replaced every six to 12 years.
Building an in-ground pool takes two to three months from beginning to end. The process begins with obtaining the required permits, which takes two to six weeks, followed by a week for excavation and land preparation. Construction of the pool—including plumbing and electrical installations—takes one to two months. Each phase requires precision to ensure high-quality construction.
Fiberglass pools demand minimal maintenance, which sets them apart from other pool types. Their robust, smooth, non-porous surface actively resists algae growth. This design eliminates the need for regular resurfacing or liner replacements and reduces the frequency of chemical treatments and intensive cleanings. Consequently, homeowners benefit from lower ongoing upkeep costs and a consistently pristine pool environment.
