I went for Anthony & Sylvan Pools because of their reputation and the fact that a relative of one of my friends works there. But the excavator that they used for our pool was horrible. We had a lot of problems with them but the project manager, Dennis, was awesome and he is the reason we ended up having a pretty decent experience. And now, our concrete sport pool makes the yard an extension of our home. It's very enjoyable and we spend a lot of time out there much more than we did before we had it. It's also relaxing and refreshing to be out there even in the hot weather rather than being in the house all the time.
