We've been thinking about having a pool for 10 to 15 years. We actually looked up Anthony & Sylvan on the Better Business Bureau, and got a pool from them. We've had numerous interactions with the project manager and scheduling team that have kept us updated, and we were very pleased with that. They were very proactive in our communications and pretty involved in scheduling dates and times, and in keeping us informed. As an example, we were having our house built at the same time as our pool, so they came out and made sure that when we talked to the builder of the house, we would tell them that we needed to put up construction fencing to ensure the safety of the house crew versus the pool crew.

Our new pool is free form and has a spa that we enjoy. We live in Houston so I feel a little warm, but we enjoy the spa in the cooler weather and swimming in the pool during the summer. Our kids are in college now so we enjoy having the barbecues out when they're home. We enjoy any time by the pool with the family, and then eventually we would more enjoy spending time with the grandkids out there.
