Anthony & Sylvan built my pool and spa. All together excellent. The project manager, Skye, is on the ball and on time. Great follow up with everything. Everything turned out better than planned and am very happy with the results.
There were a few minor issues along the way but dealt with very quickly with a positive result.
If you go with colored plaster know ahead of time it will not be perfect in the finish. I went with a gray color which gives deep blue water tone. But, in the wet deck area it shows as gray since it is shallow. The finish is not perfect and looks more like the bottom of the ocean than a pool. If you are looking for a perfect finish then this color may not be for you. At first the finish bothered me but has grown on me and now would not have it any other way. It gets complements on how different the finish looks and the color of the water in the deeper section.
My original cost was $54,000. But thanks to Mr Caliche it jacked the price up the additional $6k. I had to check for myself and yes it was harder than cement. If you are putting it into a very new home you can find out from your builder if they hit it while putting in the foundation or drive way maybe. Mine was hit in the first run with the hydraulic breaker on the bobcat.
Would go with them again in a heart beat.
