What Types of Swimming Pools Do We Remove?

We can safely remove most above ground swimming pools. To avoid any potential property damage, you must drain the water from your pool before your appointment with us to remove it. You should also make sure that it is disconnected from any water or electrical sources.

Most swimming pool removal begins at around $200 and includes the pool sidewalls as well as any equipment attached, such as filter, pump, etc. This price does not include any decking, fencing, or other structures attached to the swimming pool, for that we will likely need to make an estimate if you wish to have an above ground pool deck removed. If the pool is very large or unusually heavy there may also be an additional charge.

Hot Tubs Removal

Because of the large size of hot tubs, we traditionally will dismantle them on the site and then pack the pieces into the truck. Our procedure for hot tubs is similiar to that of removal of swimming pools. We ask all hot tubs be drained and that it is disconnected from any electrical or plumbing hookups prior to your appointment.

1. Safety Issues: Many people do not realize that many of their older items in their home could present a possible safety hazard. Appliances and electrical items may not be up to code or could present potential fire hazards. Older toys may have been part of the millions of toys recalled due to lead based paint. Items that are broken can also be a safety hazard to use. Not to mention the more stuff you have, the increased likelihood you will have trips, falls, and stubbed toes in the middle of the night.

2. You’re Paying For Storage: If you’re paying for a storage unit, you may want to really think about what you have in that unit and what you have in your home that you may want to get rid of instead. We cost comparably or less than 1 month’s fee compared to most rental areas for an equivalent space in our truck. If you haven’t had the need to visit your storage unit in the past 6 months, it’s likely time to start thinking about what you have that you could get rid of.

3. You want to Be More Organized: Whether you’re looking to organize your garage, basement, kitchen, or tackling Closet Organization, the less stuff you have, the easier it will be to find and organize all of your things.

4. You Want to Improve Your Property Value: Most real estate experts will agree that having too much stuff inside or outside of your home can negatively affect the perceived value of your property. Cleaning up inside and out can help your property sell more quickly or help professionals accurately place a value on it.

5. Save Time: Most of our full truckload jobs can be done in just a few hours, depending on what items you have and if you have us move the items for you or if you have them ready to go on the curb. You can also save a lot of time

6. Get More Space: A once cluttered garage can become a workshop or studio. Turn that cluttered office into a workout room. When you have more space, you can find that you have more freedom to do more things.

7. Feel More Relaxed: When you have less clutter, you will likely find yourself feeling less stressful and more relaxed in your environment. Too much stuff can lead to distraction or making it hard to concentrate.

Below is a quick checklist of things you should do before putting your home up for sale this spring:

1. Get Rid of Anything You Don’t Need: No, we’re not just saying this because we’re a junk removal company. Having too much clutter, a garage or basement piled high with items you don’t need or use, or any debris in your yard can really turn potential buyers away, costing you precious time and money as your home stays on the market longer. A buyer should be focused on the selling points of your home – not how much stuff you have! Having cluttered rooms or too much furniture can also make a large room seem much smaller than it actually is. You can donate items to charity, sell them, or you can always contact us to haul it away for you. Getting rid of things you don’t need can also save you money on moving and storage fees.

2. Give the Home a Thorough Cleaning: Cleaning might not be a lot of fun, but it is important that you give your home a thorough cleaning in order to make it outshine the competition. Beyond the basics of washing windows, dusting, mopping, and vacuuming, you will also want to make sure you give attention to small details such as your appliances, doors, and baseboards.

3. Consider a Fresh Coat of Paint: A freshly painted room instantly looks better. Neutral colors such as beige and tan seem to be the most appealing to home buyers, so if you have rooms that are bright vibrant colors you may want to tone them down a little to make your home seem like a blank canvas for potential buyers to decorate.

4. Clean Up the Outside: The way your home looks from the street, also known as curb appeal, can also help attract more buyers to your home. Many promotional materials for selling a home include outdoor pictures, so you will want to make sure the outside of your home looks its best. Make sure your walkways are in good shape, any shrubs are taken care of, and that any debris or unwanted items in your yard or on a deck and porch have been cleaned up also.

5. Consider a Home Inspection: Almost all buyers will request a home inspection when putting an offer on your home. Having a pre-inspected home can help save you unexpected surprises and make repairs early on your terms and budget, as well as stronger negotiating power when the home goes under contract.

6. Interview Agents With Care: There are hundreds of real estate agents in the Pittsburgh area. You will want to make sure when you are interviewing agents to sell your home that you ask them important questions such as their experience, the technology they use, their marketing plan, and how they will communicate with you. Don’t choose an agent just because they think they can sell your home for more than the other agents you’ve talked to – the listing price alone is not as important as your level of satisfaction of service you receive and the agent’s knowledge and negotiating experience. If you plan on selling your home “for sale by owner” or FSBO, be sure you speak to a real estate attorney to make sure all aspects of selling your home are covered.

Approximately 5000+ homes sold in Western Pennsylvania in just 30 days or less according to WPML statistics. Doing these things listed above can help make sure your home sells this spring in the least amount of time for the best possible price.

And of course, if you need help removing items you don’t want from your home before placing it for sale, feel free to call us at 412-848-1388 or use our contact form to request more information and set up an appointment. We’d be happy to help you get rid of unwanted items and sell your home successfully.
