Pool Table Movers Who Disassemble, Transport, and Re-Level Your Table

Why a Pool Table Can’t Be Moved in One Piece

When it comes to moving a pool table, many homeowners might think they can simply tip and carry it, but that’s not the case.

Pool tables, especially those with slate beds, require a more nuanced approach. The slate, which gives the table its weight and stability, is extremely heavy and fragile. If we were to drag or tilt the table whole, it would risk cracking the slate and warping the frame, leading to costly damage.

Instead, we must carefully break down the table into its components. This is a multi-stage process involving disassembling the table into rails, felt, and slate.

Each piece is then transported individually, guaranteeing no harm comes to the delicate parts. This method not only preserves the integrity of the table but also allows for precision reassembly and leveling once it reaches its new location.

Our approach guarantees your table remains in perfect playing condition.

How We Disassemble the Rails, Felt, and Slate

Dismantling a pool table requires careful precision. First, we remove the pockets and rails, guaranteeing each piece is handled with care.

Next, we turn our attention to the felt. We carefully unstaple or unglue it from the slate, preserving its integrity for potential reuse. Once the felt is safely removed, we focus on the slate bed.

In Alpharetta, pool tables typically feature a three-piece slate bed. We unbolt each slate section from the frame, taking note of their specific positions for accurate reassembly later. This meticulous process guarantees the slate remains undamaged and ready for re-leveling.

Finally, we disassemble the frame and legs, labeling each component to streamline the reassembly process. Our methodical approach assures that every part is accounted for, allowing us to reassemble your table with the same level of precision and care.

This attention to detail guarantees your pool table will play perfectly once it’s set up again.

Transporting Heavy Slate Without Cracks or Warping

Transporting heavy slate without cracks or warping is vital to maintaining a pool table’s integrity. We recognize that the slate is the crux of your table, with its three bed pieces weighing several hundred pounds altogether. Each piece is carefully padded and carried separately by our team to guarantee safety.

It’s essential that the slate remains flat and stable during transit to prevent any shifting, which could lead to cracks. This is why we always transport your pool table in pieces, never assembled, securing its safe arrival at your destination.

Our method involves securing each slate piece firmly within the truck, making sure it can’t move during transport. By doing so, we protect the slate from potential damage caused by mishandling.

We take every precaution to protect your investment, assuring that when it arrives, it’s in the same pristine condition as when it left your home.

Reassembly and Precision Re-Leveling for True Roll

Reassembling a pool table is a meticulous process that demands precision, guaranteeing your table plays perfectly. We start by rebuilding the frame, carefully resetting the slate pieces. Each seam is waxed or filled flush to eliminate any imperfections. This is essential because any unevenness can affect the way the balls roll, throwing your game off.

Once the slate is in place, we turn our attention to leveling. Using a machinist’s level, we painstakingly adjust the table with shims until it’s dead flat. This step is critical; skipping it would leave your Alpharetta table playing off-line, a mistake that separates a real pool-table mover from a general crew.

Precision re-leveling guarantees that every shot is true, and every roll is smooth.

New Felt and Final Playing-Surface Check

When it comes to guaranteeing your pool table is in top condition, replacing the felt is a fundamental step. While we can restretch existing cloth if it’s in good shape, fresh felt offers the truest playing surface. If the old cloth is worn or stapled thin, swapping it out is essential.

Once the new felt is applied, we conduct a meticulous final playing-surface check. Our team verifies the table is perfectly level, confirming that the rails are tight and secure.

We perform a roll test to assure that the balls move smoothly and consistently across the surface. These steps are important for maintaining the integrity and playability of your table.

With our attention to detail, you can rest easy that your table in Alpharetta is handed back to you in pristine condition and ready for countless games. Let’s get you back to playing with confidence!
