We went online and looked at all the local pool companies and interviewed about five different ones. As I researched more and looked at Better Business Bureau and anywhere I could find information online, everything pointed to Anthony & Sylvan as a reputable company. Their salesperson was very helpful and we chose them. We were having a lot of rain. But when the process started and the first crew came in and dug up the hole, everything went really fast. Every week, I had somebody there doing a major portion of it. It didn't take long at all. There was some hiccup initially because we kept changing our minds with the size and shape, and they were very receptive. The gentleman kept coming back and we were doing it in the yard with the flag, so that was very helpful as well.

We have a granite free-form pool. We wanted something that would enhance our home and was nice to look at, not just something that the kids would get wet in and use during summer. It was supposed to be aesthetically pleasing and functional, and truly Anthony & Sylvan has delivered. Every single person that has been to my house is astonished by how nice it looks. My favorite thing is that it is a saltwater pool and low maintenance. I am grateful for where the location of it is within the backyard and the color we chose for the white stuff at the bottom of it. We chose a color that truly gives that aqua blue color.

Our kids are exactly at the right age, and we wanted them to have a pool as they were growing up. I grew up with a pool and have very fond memories of growing up with one, so I wanted to make sure my kids had the same opportunity as they grew up. I've told Anthony & Sylvan that If anybody in the local vicinity wants to see what their final product looks like, they're welcome to bring them over and show them the pool. The experience can be really daunting to figure out who they really want to go with and what size, gaps and color. It's hard to put it together and my pool may assist them.
