Description of Work: I had an old and dilapidated garage on my property that I should have had demolished many years ago. Last year, after checking for some references via Angie's List, I contacted Smuts Bros., among others,for a quote. Christian Smuts was the first person to get me a price for this work. Although I found the quote very reasonable, other expenses precluded me from going forward with the work. This spring, I decided to get more quotes and I was horrified at how high the estimates were. I called Christian Smuts back and he stopped by my house that afternoon. His quote was increased by a minimal amount from the previous year (due to increases in landfill fees). I immediately booked the job with him and he started early the following week. Christian and his two-man crew began work on a Tuesday and, by Thursday, there were no signs that the garage ever existed. This was a 20 x 20 wooden structure that was built sometime in the 50's. It did not fall easily. But Christian's crew worked until all remnants of the building were gone. This included emptying contents, demolishing the structure, and hauling away all of the remnants. Before they left, they swept up all of the remaining dirt until they were down to a concrete pad. I would recommend Smuts Bros. Demolition for any disposal job, big or small. In fact, I keep their business card above my desk.

Description of Work: If there were such a thing as concierge service trash hauling, this would be it. We had recently cultivated a section of our yard and unearthed a huge amount of rock and debris, which could not be disposed of as garbage. Christian came to our house shortly after I called and hauled out the refuse in just a few minutes, apologizing that he had to charge us the minimum fee (which could have been less than $100 but I don't recall exactly.) He was extremely agreeable. Highly recomemnd.

Nothing to tell.
Description of Work: On 9/1/2011 and 9/6/2011, I called Mr. Smuts about getting an estimate for hauling furniture and other materials from my basement. Left a message on both occasions and have yet to hear back from Mr. Smuts -- writing this on 9/8/2011. Hired another company.

It was a good experience. On the first trip they sorted, cleared, and broom cleaned the basement. They set aside what we wanted to keep and what they could not haul. They removed what had to go from the exterior. On the final trip, they worked around the movers to clear out what we were not taking or giving away on the first, second, and third floors. In sorting the debris, they separated usables, recyclables, and junk and took them to wherever appropriate. After the movers left, Chris's crew left our house broom clean. They were A-1 in every way.
Description of Work: Our 11 room house has 37 plus years of stuff. When the couple who had dickered for several months came up with a price six weeks before they wanted to take possession, we desperately needed help. Christian and his crew came to the rescue. After Chris visited to look the situation over, they made TWO work trips. They brought a dumpster. They cleared us out and cleaned us up, inside and out.

I hired Christian on the basis of his prior feedback on Angie's List. I've used other cleanout companies before and generally they are pretty rough customers. However, my experience with Christian was exactly as described in the other Angie's List report. He was responsive, meticulously polite, and listened well as I described the service that I needed. Even his truck and helper were nice and it is obvious that he takes pride in his work. I highly recommend him.
Description of Work: Christian and his helper hauled an antique cabinet from Zelienople to my house in Pittsburgh and backhauled two large cabinets and some miscellaneous items from my basement to Goodwill.

All three men removed their boots so they would not mess up the rugs. They were extremely professional and responded to my first call within hours. They were punctual for the estimate and the work. I was very impressed and they were a pleasure to deal with.

I was in the process of landscaping my front yard and the hauler that I had discussions with did not return my calls when the load was ready. I called Christian at 7.45 am, discussed the job, received a phone quote in a dollar range subject to his final inspection He arrived at the scheduled time 11:00 am the same morning and was loaded and departed within ninty minutes.The load was tied down and the street swept prior to departure.His price was in mid range of the phone quotation. It was delightful to do business with Christian.
Description of Work: Loaded and hauled away a truckload of bushes which had 35 years of growth plus the tree trimmings from two mature maple and a cherry tree.

I first e-mailed Mr. S*** and then followed with a phone call. He responded quickly to both queries. In our phone conversation he said he would be more than happy to come over to pick up the items and advised me to call him back as soon as I was sure I had everything removed. I called Mr. S*** over the Memorial Day weekend and he came the Tuesday after the holiday. He and his crew picked everything up and even cleaned up all the dust left on my porch! He asked me if there was anything else I needed him to pick up and gladly removed a cement block left two years ago by a construction crew that did some work for us.
Description of Work: My husband and I removed old tiles from the floor and ceiling of our basement, as well as other debris left over by the previous owner of our house. Our local trash service would not pick them up from the curb.

I called Christian and reached his voicemail. I left a message explaining what i wanted removed. He returned my call a few hours later and we agreed upon a day when he could come by to pick up the items. I was unable to be there (because I had to work), but he understood what I needed to have done and said he'd call me when he reached the house. That Friday, he called right when he said he would and confirmed what I wanted removed. He gave me a quote (almost exactly what he had estimated over the phone without having seen the materials) and then removed everything. I sent him a check in the mail the next day.
Description of Work: Christian removed a sofa sleeper from our back porch. To do this, he and his partner had to remove one of the window screens and lift the sofa through the window opening. He also removed a small pile of contractor refuse (lumber, broken concrete, etc.) and a broken radiator (monitor) leftover from cleaning out our basement.

I was very pleased with Smuts Brothers. I thought their price was extremely fair considering the amount of debris they removed. I worked directly with Chris; he was very flexible and even offered to come to my home the evening I called him to provide an estimate. They arrived the next morning to haul away the items. Chris also cut back some old railroad ties that I did not want removed; they certainly went above and beyond my expectations. Also very professional. I highly recommend this company!!
Description of Work: I own a townhouse and needed to clean up my backyard by having several items removed. Smuts Brothers removed two old fence panels, an old rotted wood pile, 7' bench, wood paneling surrounding my A/C unit and the remnants of a retaining wall (several railroad ties and approximately 15-20 large stones).

Description of Work: Smuts Brothers did an excellent job hauling away a large quantity of debris including a refrigerator and a number of air conditioning units, boxes, and other items. Christian Smuts, our contact, was very polite, very business-like, very pleasant, and got the job done to our complete satisfaction. According to my building manager, Mr Smuts and his assistants spent as many as 6 hours, and congratulated me on negotiating a good price, and he never complained. I highly recommend his services.

Christian called back promptly, came out, took a look and gave me an estimate for 2 to 3 days work. The next week, he and 2 other workers came out and had the job completely demolished in 2.5 days. I had the entire house (unnecessarily) COVERED in plastic because everyone warned me how dirty demolition was going to be. All that plastic was a waste. Christian and his guys got rid of everything with nary a particle of dust....... I don't know how they did it! You will not meet a NICER guy than Christian. He is upbeat, hard-working and a joy to work with. I started wondering, "What else can I have them demolish?" This was a very positive experience! PLUS Christian's price was the best by far. Others said that it would take TWO WEEKS to demolish the bathroom.[Obviously didn't know what they were talking about!] and much more expensive. Look no farther: Christian is your man!!!!
Description of Work: Completely demolished our master bathroom (13' x 14') so that it was ready for remodeling.

The team was great, fast and efficient. I spoke with Christian on a Tuesday, and he came to the house two days later to perform the work. He was very professional on the phone. He called the night before to confirm, as well as in the morning to let me know they were on their way. I was impressed with the level of responsiveness, during the renovation of our bathroom, we were shocked to find that many service providers do not even have the courtesy to return phone calls. Christian certainly renewed my faith, not all vendors are alike. I would definitely call him for any hauling needs I have in the future.
Description of Work: Christian and his team removed debris from a bathroom renovation, including a steel bathtub and glass shower doors. We had approximately twenty boxes filled with debris, ceramic tile, wood, plaster, etc., as well as large pieces of cement board.

Called for an estimate. Within a few days, they came out & called us back with an estimate. Work was scheduled within the week. Shed was removed in less than 1/2 day, and the site cleaned up and leveled. Left very little sign that they were ever there. They were prompt, professional, clean and courteous.

Christian responded to my initial inquiry quickly, and came to my home the day after the initial contact for an estimate. He explained the entire project, the length of time it would take, and how it would be done. The crew was on time and worked efficiently, completing the project in 2 days. They left the area clean and did great work. The price they gave was higher than some quotes I had received, but lower than others. I decided to go with them because of the professional approach, and the fact that I had a high level of confidence in their ability to complete the project in a timely manner.

Smuts Brothers were very professional in that they took care to clean-up at the end of work day and did not disrupt our normal routine inside our home during their work. Their rates were very reasonable as well. I would recommend if you have a demolition and/or hauling project, that you call Christian Smuts. We were very satisfied with his work on our home.
Description of Work: Smuts Brothers demolished, cleaned and hauled away a small addition of our home which was an added exterior enclosed staircase from the ground to the second floor. They also gutted a master bath down to the studs, floor joists and ceiling joists including removing sink, toilet, tub and shower. And lastly, the job entailed removing debris, including demolishing a concrete wall, from a previous greenhouse.

He came promptly, both when giving a quote and when doing the work. He swept to get the last bits and pieces up.
Description of Work: I did a major remodeling project at my home and had lots of construction debris left afterwards. Christian came and gathered it up and hauled it away. The next day, I realized I had forgotten to tell him about some other materials at the side of the garage. He came back and took it as part of the original job without any fuss over an extra fee. The firm also does demolition.
