We signed a contract with *********************************************** in August of 2020 and broke ground in November. From the beginning we were met with issues of incompetence, poor planning and work not being completed in a quality or timely manner. Some of these issues include our designer providing incorrect elevation details for our backyard, resulting in the back of our pool being 5-feet above ground level; the gunite subcontractor pouring our pool shell with a shallow-end depth of 4.5-feet, which had to be patched and repoured; and our patio / drainage being so poorly planned and executed that it also required brainstorming and ill-suited work-arounds in attempt to correct it. We have been continuously and painfully bounced from PM to PM, service coordinator, quality assurance coordinator, general manager and most recently have been blown off by the president of new pools and his assistant. We simply want to come to a conclusive point in construction with a fully functioning pool system. We have been working to correct the following list of items since May of 2021: 1) Repair drip at the filter union on the pump 2) Finish install the Ozone / UV unit that is not currently operable (requires 3 extension of equipment pad, as discussed with multiple points of contact) 3) Address pool lights not working correctly 4) Repair back and side foundation of house with ***** coat (machinery took off chunks of foundation / electrician mistakenly drilled multiple holes in foundation) 5) Install split-face travertine on exposed pool at lower deck area, as discussed and promised 6) Supply 2 lids for umbrella sleeves (tan). In addition to the duress that the entire process has caused us, the headache of trying to get in touch with anyone who can or will address your concerns is insulting. At this point, we have given *********************************************** more than the benefit of the doubt and they have exhausted our patience. It seems that *********************************************** has written us off and do not intend to complete the project.Business response

We are in communication with the ***********. We have gone above to repair drainage which per our contract is not Anthony & Sylvan responsibility. Without any cost to the homeowner we put in a new drainage. We also have a crew going out today to plug small holes on her outdoor brick because she wanted the gas strap lowered and are extending the equipment pad to accommodate a system because her husband wanted a 2 in 1 instead of 2 separate chlorination system. This is also a customer relation gesture. We hope to keep forging forward and resolving any other issues that are Anthony & Sylvan responsibility.Customer response

Complaint: 17070580
I am rejecting this response because: The "customer relations gestures" that ********************** & ********************** say they made were all efforts to correct issues that resulted from their lack of oversight and project management as well as poor workmanship that went unchecked due to zero quality control. While we appreciate that they fixed certain aspects of the project that were unsatisfactory, they still have not finished the job. They did, in-fact, send someone to extend our equipment pad and fill the holes that the electrician created erroneously, but they have not finished the following tasks:Install Ozone/UV unit to full function
Fix the pool lights that don't operate properly
Provide 2x umbrella sleeve caps (beige)
*****-coat back of house to cover gouges made in the foundation and messy concrete work
Install split-faced travertine on sides of pool to camouflage the height of the pool's elevation and cover messy concrete work.
Fix Drip at filter union.
Once each of these items has been completed to 100% we will consider the project complete. Until then, partial work is only partial work, and unsatisfactory.
Regards,

I am rejecting this response because:While we appreciate that the list of incomplete items is being addressed, the project is still not complete. When they installed the Ozone/UV unit, they uninstalled our heater/chiller and we are now awaiting an electrician to come back to re-install it. We also do not yet have fully functioning pool lights.
Lastly, we have not been advised regarding the ***** coat on the back of our foundation or the split-face travertine install on the sides of our pool.
Once these four items have been addressed and are in full working order, we will consider this project complete.

Complaint: 17070580
I am rejecting this response because:Anthony & Sylvan have literally had over a year and three months to complete these items (our pool was filled with water in May of 2021). Crew availability and weather are pathetic, unacceptable excuses for why they haven't attended to these "last few items" when we have just literally had three months with ZERO rainfall. We have not heard a peep out of them since before they submitted their previous response a month ago. This company is a sad excuse for a business who claim they are "committed to excellent customer satisfaction" - we've had anything but satisfaction since regretfully choosing them to build our pool.

We signed a contract with A&S in June of 2020 to build a $107,000 pool. 1 year and 9 months into the project, our pool is STILL NOT COMPLETE. We have experienced 20 months of scheduling issues, long periods of inactivity and delays in pool construction and clean-up. The A&S 'designer' under-estimated the engineering of the pool and did not check HOA truck weight restrictions before bidding which led to 2 unanticipated change orders. We have seen significant turnover of schedulers and project managers and the local Austin ********** group is non-responsive. This has been the single worst construction experience we have endured. You can only blame so much on Covid... We are requesting a quick completion to the open items on our pool (gas line trenched, connected to the heater and tested, as well as 'browncoat' finish on the exposed walls, per their bid. We are also requesting compensation in the form of price reduction for the 20 months of problems and inconvenience.Business response

We completed a pool renovation in 2021 with Anthony and Sylvan. The work was supposed to start in January and we were told it would take approximately 6 weeks. The work started on Feb 22ed and it did not get completed until June. We had problems through the whole experience getting a response from the company, updates and worked continued and completed. We were the ones completely project managing the work. A project manager or site ******* did not come to our house to look at anything until May after repeated emails and calls to their office. When we were planning the renovation, we discussed with their sales guy and also went into their show room to pick out materials. We have a salt water pool and we explained that and wanted to make sure what we picked out would be fine with salt water. Several months after the work was finished we noticed the coping around the edge of the pool was eroding. We assumed they had not sealed the coping/stone that has been installed less than a year and was less than 6 months from install that we started noticing this. We decided to call some other companies to see is they could properly seal the coping for us, and have been told that the product used is a type of limestone and it will continue to erode and there is nothing we can do. One company quoted us $7,800 to remove and replace the coping with a stone that would work for the salt water pool. We are also in the process of getting another opinion and estimate for comparison. *********************************************** should not have used this product that has not even lasted 6 month. I have sent an email to the regional manager, our sales guy, the project manager and the scheduling assistant that we worked with during this project and as typical with our previous experience we have received no response. We want to know what *********************************************** is going to do about this?Business response

I hired this company in September of 2020 to construct a pool and spa. The construction hasn't been finished yet, but around September of last year they got the pool to a point where I could use it yet there were still a number of unresolved issues. I've been attempting to get the unresolved issues resolved ever since. In the process of trying to get the issue resolved, the heater broke making the pool unusable and it has been broken now for 1 month with no actions taken to resolve. Here were the issues communicated:1. Heater is not working.2. Plaster has discolorations and streaks throughout. I consistently brushed daily for over a month and still 3. Gunnite overspray is all over my fence and areas of the home.4. City inspection has not been completed because the A&S deck design is not compliant. Inspector states railing is needed yet A&S is stating I have to add it.There is no reason for pool construction to take a year and a half, but that's where I am at costing me more than $11,000 in interest on something that I can't even use. There has been sparse communication but here I am still waiting for something to be done like I've been waiting most of the past year and a half. I just want this project I paid over 6 figures for to be finished.Business response

Anthony & Sylvan has spoken to **************. We are replacing his heater on Tuesday The 22nd of March and have an acid wash schedule in 3 weeks. We are currently investigating the deck situation to come to a joint revolution. ************* was very receptive to our timeline and we hope to have this matter settled shortly.

*********************************************** (A&S) were contracted to install a pool at my house on 10/8/2020. Primary pool completion was not completed until mid-November 2021 (significantly overdue), but multiple open items/issues remain and are being ignored by A&S management. After primary pool completion, I discovered that essentially all electrical features on the pool had been installed incorrectly: the filter pump, the pool light, LED bubbler, and the deck jets. After months of requests, these items were fixed the week of February 14th. However, I had also requested that the electric heat pump be inspected and its functionality verified (given the other electrical issues). These requests have been and continue to be ignored. After multiple attempts to pass the Citys electrical inspection, the project was tentatively approved with the understanding that a grounding cable that was not properly buried would be addressed before the project could be finalized and permits could be closed. This occurred at the end of September 2021, but the issue still has not been addressed. A robotic cleaner that was to be provided as a part of the fence resolution package was not delivered until the first week of February, and despite multiple requests over multiple weeks for this equipment to be installed and training provided , these requests have been ignored. 7 months of complimentary pool servicing were also a part of the fence resolution package. I have been requesting this service to be initiated since December of 2021, but these requests continue to be ignored.Business response

I met ********* and Will ***** (Aqua Cal rep) on site. We explained AquaCal operation and some equipment issues. She said the pool cleaner has been working fine and we still need to get the bond wire buried.

I am rejecting this response because: the open items/issue have not yet been completed/resolved in their entirety. I appreciate the increased attention that they have given my project and I have no issue with the individuals who have come to my house to support the resolution. However, I have been waiting for several weeks for several items to be addressed which have been acknowledged by Anthony & Sylvan. If and when these remaining issues are resolved, I will be happy to accept the company's resolution, but my experience (of >1 year) with A&S has made it clear that I cannot trust them to finish/close out open items without the threat of some sort of repercussion (such as an ongoing BBB complaint).

As my issues are, in some cases, > 6 months old, and my project is well over a year beyond schedule, I have no confidence that these issues will be resolved without the BBB's intervention/pressure.

I am rejecting this response because: no final inspection has been communicated to me, and doors have been alarmed for +3 weeks. No inspectors have visited our site apart from an apparent tree inspection that was not previously communicated as something that was going to happen. This assertion is quite simply false and/or an inspection occurred that was not communicated to me in which the inspector did not knock on the door in order to be let in to inspect the doors or we were not at home as, again, no scheduling was done. I would request proof of this alleged final inspection, and if it occurred, I find it extremely surprising that this is the first I am hearing of it.Further, the promised check from A&S was delivered in the wrong (lesser) amount; the autofill still does not appear to be working as it has once again over-filled the pool; and while the heat pump chiller runs, it does not appear to be appropriately setup within the iAqualink App as it does not respond to attempts to turn it on. All of these items need to be corrected before this issue can be closed.

Our pool construction started in June 2020 and after a very painful and frustrating process of having to chase down multiple Project managers, Schedulers, and other A&S personnel the pool was plastered on 21st December 2020 after multiple teardowns and fix attempts by various subcontractors because either the design/plan wasnt right, or they didnt do the work as per spec.We had several pending items remaining to be addressed for project completion and it took them over 7 months to get them addressed after following up multiple times.The major items that are present from day one and have not been addressed yet:1) Vanishing Edge / Negative is not functional since day 1. Water spills outside the basin/coping into the yard, not what we paid a premium for only to use it as a water reservoir. We were told by the warranty technicians that the catch basin needs to be made wider and the angle of the edge of the pool needs to be adjusted to ensure water flows into the basin.2) Constant leak in the pool and spa. The leak detection crew hired by A&S came out multiple times and identified the issue in the light housings and applied a temp fix (putty) and provided a recommendation for a permanent fix which is to replace the housings as they have not been installed correctly per spec. We have to manually top off hundreds of gallons of water every few days to avoid the plaster from being exposed and damaged.3) We have not received reimbursements for extra water/gas bills incurred because of having to drain and refill the pool multiple times, heat the pool for leak detection, etc. as promised by **.4) Autofill does not work 5) Negative edge pump shuts down randomly after a few mins.They assured us the issues will be resolved ASAP and we have nothing to worry about. However, since the ** we were working with is no longer employed by A&S its been a nightmare to get a hold of anyone or get a response on when and if they intend to fix the pending issues.Business response

We purchased a pool from ************************************************ The approximate build time was 8 weeks it took over 6 months. It was start on 1/2021. It still has not passed city inspection. We also purchased a heater we cant get to work and it is virtually impossible to get ahold of anyone to come out and fix it. We paid almost $60,000 for a pool we cant use or get serviced. Weve been trying for 2 months to get our heater fixed and pass city inspection.Business response
