This job could not have gone any better. I needed my uncle's house cleaned out after he passed away, and I live out of state. After going through the house myself, I contacted Smuts Brothers from an ad in local Pgh. paper. They visited the house, made suggestions of additional services they could provide--more than I could have even hoped for. In addition to removing all the contents, they took up the carpeting and tack strips, uninstalled an electric chairlift on the stairway, took down a dilapidated shed in the yard, and left the house broom swept and clean. They were a pleasure to deal with, prompt communication through email, phone, and text. And they sent photos of the finished job. All for a very reasonable price. I credit them for the many showings we have had on this property, several offers, and I expect a fast sale. I cannot recommend them enough--they were a lifesaver!
Description of Work: Complete house clean out of furniture, carpeting, etc.

Response from SMUTS BROTHERS DEBRIS REMOVAL
[Member Name Removed], I AM WRITING THIS RESPONSE YEARS TOO LATE! I WAS GOING THROUGH A ROUGH PATCH AT THE TIME OF YOUR LAST CALL, PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY. I APOLOGIZE FOR NOT RESPONDING EARLIER. I WAS NOT IN PGH. FOR AROUND THREE WEEKS DURING THAT TIME, I DIDNT CHANGE MY PHONE VOICEMAIL UNTIL ABOUT 10 DAYS AWAY.I THINK I DELETED ALL OF MY MESSAGES. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO HELP YOU AGAIN, SHOULD YOU EVER NEED IT.AGAIN, I AM DEEPLY SORRY FOR MY LACK OF CONCERN.

We had about 10 cubic yards of construction debris hauled, and a small cinderblock wall that needed demoed. If the quote was right, we also wanted the back porch roof demoed and hauled. When looking around, Smuts brothers sounded like the best option. With good reviews and not a big name brand, I wanted to help support the little guy. When my calls finally got through to Christian at Smuts Brothers after three days of calling and getting a full voicemail, he sounded quite cheerful and quickly set up the estimate for 9am the next day (9/5). Come 8:40 AM on 9/5, Christian called to say he was having car trouble and would be taking his truck to the shop and then heading over after and should only be an hour or so late. I said that was fine, and that I would be here all day. At 1:30pm, I gave him a call to see when he was going to be able to come or if we needed to reschedule. I heard the phone pick up and quickly hang up, and it did not go to voicemail. So I shortly called back and it was allowed to go to voicemail. I left a message asking to reschedule. I did not get a call back, and called and left another message two days later, and then three days later. It is now 9/15 and I have yet to hear back from Smuts Bros. Today, Junk King has hauled the junk after we did the demo ourselves. I would highly recommend Junk King, unlike the lack of professionalism of Smuts Bros. I had to use a vacation day to meet up with Christian, and would have at least liked to know he wasn't going to be able to make it.
Description of Work: Scheduled an estimate. Couldn't make it or find the time to call back.

FIGURING YOU WOULD MOVE ON AND I COULD TEND TO MY ISSUES AT HAND AND GET BACK ON TRACK.I NEVER HUNG UP ON YOU INTENTIONALLY! REGARDLESS OF MY TERRIBLE ACTIONS ON THAT FATEFUL DAY, I HAVE CONTINUED TO SERVE PITTSBURGH AND ITS SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES WITH PRIDE AND JOY.

. Two men removed old whole - house vacuum piping from our basement ceiling. They also removed broken shelving and moved furniture for us. All debris was hauled away. Christian (company owner) has been here to help us four other times as we've done work around our new home. He is always very courteous, and he works very fast and very effectively. In addition, his prices are always fair.

No business was conducted with Smuts Brothers.
Description of Work: I called Smuts Brothers and left a voice mail 3 weeks ago. No one returned my call. They are listed as a number one performer.Their business must be thriving and not in need of new customers. I would have appreciated a return call. Their lack of courtesy prompted me to call the second gentleman on the list. He was wonderful!!! My call was answered immediately and my huge hauling job was smoothly and inexpensively. So my annoyance gave way to excitement,appreciation, and joy.

Sorry, Member if you called between May 4 and may 31, you would have received a message that informed all potential customers that I would not be available until the end of the month. I had a personal unplanned matter that I needed to attend to.I had many customers that were inconvenienced by my absence, and I have since been working full time to assist all of my customers. Again, I am sorry for the inconvenience I caused you and will be here should you have any additional needs.

It went very well. Price was a little over the estimate, but it was worth it to have it all cleaned out responsibly. Christian offered to take some usable things to the recyclers for us. I think he and his team were great to work with.
Description of Work: Christian and his team took down a medium size storage shed, a lightweight basement wall, two large old workbenches, and generally cleaned up the mess in our garage and yard that was left by previous house owners.

They were fantastic. I loved that they were professional and they were on time. They not only cleared everything out, they also cleaned up after themselves; my patio was spotless. They are really amazing. The workers that came out were fantastic. Christian Smuts, the guy who owns it, came out, I guess he goes to every job. It's him and his workers. Because of his professionalism; he sets the bar very high, they don't tread over it. They were great. I would use them again if needed.

Once, the price was about $300. The other time it was about $500. They were very thorough. We were very impressed and very happy with them. If we knew somebody who was moving out of an old house that they lived in for 30 years and needed a final cleanup, we would absolutely recommend Smuts Brothers to them.
Description of Work: I used Smuts Brothers Debris Removal in March of 2010. They came twice. We were moving out of the house, so it was cleaning up. It was trying to leave a clean house for the buyers. It was more than routine garage or anything like that, but it was not construction debris. It was old stuff that had been around.

I sent an e-mail to this company and they called in response the same day. They also came out and provided a competitive estimate on the spot the same day. The desired job was removing debris from recent exterior remodeling work (busted concrete and wood). I ultimately did not use them. My contractor had already lined up a family member to remove the debris, so this is the route that was taken. If I need similar services in the future I will definitely contact them first. They are very proud of their reputation and diligently strive to maintain it.

It went great. My gentleman caller spoke to Christian Smuts. He said he'd be here in an hour to give an estimate. He showed up (pretty much) on time. Said he could haul it all for 150. WM was 99.00, but they couldn't handle their own job. He took it all away within minutes. (he's also kind of cute. ;-) )
Description of Work: I had bought a bagster bag. They didn't make it clear that I needed to place it away from all utility wires and trees. Stupid to sell these in the city because there is no area with no lines. Anyway, I had it filled up and ready to go. Waste Management came and left a note saying they could not pick it up. They didn't call. Just a note. Christian and his 2 guys came and collected the contents, some old nasty palettes, and old computer equipment.

Spoke with them on a Thursday and agreed that they would come give me an estimate on Saturday between 10:30 - 11:00 am. This was after I stressed that I wanted a specific time so I could schedule the rest of my day around when they would be coming. Further, they said they would call me 20-30 minutes prior when they came. Saturday came and went and no one called or showed up. I was really hoping to have the good experience others have stated with this company, but they wasted my time and a day (since I arranged the day around them coming) so I have to give them this poor rating.

Chris and two workers performed the work in about a day and a half. The work site and workers were well-organized the whole time, and various items disposed of, donated, or recycled efficiently. Although the project did go over the initial estimate, it was a BIG job with a few surprises along the way (such as the volume and weight of stuff to be removed & weather complications). I was left with a clean site. All the items I wanted to keep were neatly stacked. They worked really hard and definitely earned their money. Chris runs a tight ship and communication was good throughout the project.
Description of Work: Stripped the interior of a garage down to its framing. Removed and sorted wood and metals scraps, old furniture, bricks, and misc junk. They removed badly installed and weather-damaged drywall from the garage interior and de-nailed much of the interior. They also demolished and removed a set of solid-cast cement stairs, a large pile of heavy landscaping rocks, and a lot of heavy topsoil.

Christian was excellent The same also goes for his brother and wife. They came out in no time and got straight to work. They are a true hard working family who knows their profession. I knew this was a difficult job to do even before contacting Christian, but he and his family knew exactly what to do when they got there and they got the job done in less than the time they said over the phone. Then, to my amazement, after the jobs were completed, Christian suggested a charge of less than what I had been anticipating. I highly recommend Smuts Brothers for any of your debris removal and dismantling jobs. If you don’t consider them first for your next job, then the only one to blame is yourself if you hire someone else and end up dissatisfied. They are the only ones you need call.
Description of Work: They performed a difficult and meticulous job of dismantling a custom made curved stair lift. A stair lift is kind of, like an elevator device made that elderly or handicapped people ride up and down on the stairs, only you sit on it instead of standing. They also loaded all of the large items that I had placed in the garage in no time. They didn’t really know what all they were going to be hauling away that day based on the telephone calls I made to Christian.
