About Anthony & Sylvan Pools

Anthony & Sylvan Pools has pulled 18 pool permits through the City of Orlando, with every single permit classified as Pool work — 100% pool-only specialization with no fence, SFR, or renovation dilution in the record.

Across its three recorded years of permits in the City of Orlando system — 2000, 2001, and 2002 — Anthony & Sylvan Pools pulled a total of 18 pool permits. Their busiest years were 2001 and 2002, each with 7 permits, while 2000 shows 3 permits. The average permitted project cost ranged from roughly $18,290 in 2001 to $22,333 in 2000 and $21,529 in 2002. That consistency across years signals a mid-range residential pool operation, not a luxury boutique. The priciest single permit on record was $64,000 at 300 E South St in the Central Business District — a commercial or large-scale outlier. Nine of the 18 permits have been finaled, and 0 permits are currently open in this dataset, indicating these are historical records rather than active local permits.

The permit record maps to several distinct Orlando neighborhoods, with Southport, Ventura, Boggy Creek, Orwin Manor, and Bel Air each appearing twice. Lake Davis/Greenwood adds one more. This spread across six named neighborhoods — rather than heavy concentration in one — reflects a contractor that ranged across the mid-Orlando area rather than anchoring in a single subdivision. The Central Business District and Metro West permits suggest Anthony & Sylvan was comfortable taking jobs in diverse settings, from established residential neighborhoods to more commercial corridors.

Every permit on record in this dataset is categorized as Pool work — 18 out of 18. There is no fence, SFR new construction, renovation, or accessory structure work mixed in, meaning this location or franchise operated as a dedicated pool contractor during this period. The license of record is CPC1459777, held by qualifier EXUM, MICHAEL REID, certified through the Florida DBPR as a Certified Pool/Spa Contractor with a license date of 2022. Nine of the 18 permits have achieved finaled status in the public record, which represents a 50% finaling rate on these historical permits — the remaining are closed or otherwise resolved, with 0 currently open.

On the customer side, Anthony & Sylvan Pools carries a 4.9-star rating across 80 Google reviews — well above the Florida pool builder average of roughly 4.4 stars. Reviewer Azyadeth Francois described the experience as one that "exceeded all expectations from day one," noting that "just two months later, our pool was complete." Ian Klein, who had shopped three competing builders, called it "the best pool builder I've ever worked with," specifically highlighting the 55-day average build timeline and the top-of-the-line equipment package. Customer praise centers on three themes that appear repeatedly across reviews: design quality (the highest-weighted praise tag, appearing 17 times), communication (11 mentions), and crew professionalism (9 mentions). The word "recommend" appears 9 times independently — a strong signal of repeat referral behavior. No complaint tags appear in the review analysis.

For a homeowner vetting this builder, the data tells a focused story: Anthony & Sylvan is a pool-only operation with a national brand behind a Jacksonville, FL office located at 1250 Imeson Park Blvd Building 400, Ste. 408. The permit-based average project cost of roughly $21,500–$22,500 reflects permit valuations from 2000–2002 and will not reflect today's pricing, which typically runs $55,000–$100,000+ for inground gunite. The 0 open permits in the Orlando dataset means this office's current workload is not captured here — call (904) 604-5227 or visit anthonysylvan.com to ask about current availability and scheduling timelines in the Jacksonville market.

The Florida DBPR license CPC1459777 for this entity has been on file since 2022.

Does Anthony & Sylvan Pools offer a warranty?

Multiple reviewers specifically called out Anthony & Sylvan's warranty as a key differentiator. Ian Klein ranked it as the second most important factor in his builder selection, writing: 'Warranty (Anthony & Sylvan has the best warranty) — this is huge.' Cindy Whiting's review tested the warranty in practice 25 years after her pool was built: the company's Jacksonville design consultant volunteered to resolve a county permitting records issue with her construction permit at no charge, leading her to conclude: 'When your Anthony & Sylvan representative tells you about their Lifetime warranty — YOU CAN BELIEVE IT.' Ask the company for the current written warranty terms before signing.

How fast does Anthony & Sylvan Pools complete a pool?
