"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."

Renting an excavator with a professional operator costs more than renting equipment only, reflecting the added value of skilled labor. This arrangement eliminates the learning curve associated with machine operation and transfers liability to the service provider. For homeowners without experience with heavy equipment, the additional expense often proves worthwhile through increased efficiency and a reduced risk of property damage or personal injury.
Residential foundation work often requires a medium-sized excavator with sufficient digging depth and power to handle the project effectively. These machines offer the necessary capabilities without the excessive costs of larger models. When selecting equipment, consider both the foundation dimensions and site access limitations. The appropriate bucket width is also important—wider buckets move more material quickly, while narrower options provide greater precision in confined spaces.
Equipment rental requires some form of liability coverage. While some homeowners' insurance policies extend to rented equipment, many do not provide adequate protection. Rental companies offer insurance options or require proof of appropriate coverage before releasing equipment. Coverage requirements and costs vary based on the equipment value and project scope, making it essential to verify your protection before beginning work.
While formal certification isn't always mandatory for equipment rental, operating an excavator safely requires proper training. Most rental companies provide basic operational instructions, but expect renters to have some familiarity with heavy machinery. Depending on your location and project type, local regulations may require specific certifications or permits. Research your area's requirements before renting to ensure compliance with all applicable safety regulations.
Securing your equipment reservation well in advance of your project start date is advisable, particularly during the construction season. A two-week advance booking is recommended to ensure availability of your preferred machine type and size. During slower periods, shorter notice may be acceptable, but early planning provides greater flexibility and peace of mind. Some rental companies offer scheduling priority to customers who book further in advance.
