FAQS
What is the typical time required to dismantle a billiard table?
Answer: Dismantling a billiard table usually takes about 45 minutes to an hour, though it may take longer for antique tables.
How long does it typically take to assemble a billiard table?
Answer: Assembly time for a billiard table varies based on the make, size, and model, generally taking between 1.5 to 4 hours. If replacing the cloth and rubber, additional time may be required.
How long does it take to recover a pool table?
Answer: The time required to recover a pool table typically ranges from 2 to 4 hours, depending on the size and condition of the table.
For a standard 8-foot table in good condition, the process usually takes about 3 hours. This includes careful disassembly, old cloth removal, surface preparation, new cloth installation, rail recovery, reassembly, and our thorough final inspection.
We always ensure that we take the time necessary to do the job right, guaranteeing a perfect playing surface.
Can you move my pool table to a different room or house?
Answer: Absolutely! We offer professional pool table moving services for both short and long-distance relocations.
Whether you're moving your table to another room or to a new home, our experienced team can handle it safely.
We use specialized equipment and techniques to disassemble, transport, and reassemble your table with utmost care. For in-room moves, we can often use our caster system to relocate the table with minimal disassembly.
Always consult professionals for moving your pool table to avoid damage and ensure proper leveling at the new location.
How do I know if my pool table needs new cushions (bumpers)?
Answer: There are several signs that indicate your pool table might need new cushions:
1. Inconsistent or "dead" bounces off the rails
2. Visible cracks or separations in the rubber
3. Balls that don't reach the head rail on a break shot
4. Cushions that feel overly firm or too soft when pressed
5. Rails that are more than 7-10 years old
If you notice any of these signs, it's a good idea to have your table inspected by our professionals. We can assess the condition of your cushions and recommend replacement if necessary. Replacing worn cushions can significantly improve your game by ensuring consistent and lively ball rebound.
