Pool Table Installation
Assembly, shimming and cloth, for a table that is staying where it is.
Some tables are in the room already and still not playable: delivered in sections, bought used, inherited with the house, or left half-built by somebody who never came back.
Frame built and squared, slate bolted, seams filled and worked flush, cloth stretched and fitted, level set. The shimming takes most of the visit here, because a rowhouse floor that has carried load for well over a century has settled, and it settles toward one party wall rather than evenly across the room.
What installation includes
What the visit covers, and the one thing worth checking first.
- Frame and legs built and squared, set clear of walls and chimney breasts.
- Slate bolted down, seams filled and worked until a ball crosses them without a sound.
- Cloth across the bed, fitted round the rails, pockets refitted.
- Rails back on, cushion rubber checked while it is accessible.
- Level read bare, then read again with cloth on.
A rowhouse room is frequently narrower than the table plus a cue, so the room size reference is worth reading before a table is bought rather than after it is upstairs.
What finished looks like
We here at Philadelphia Pool Table Movers guarantee all of our work. If you use our services and feel that we did something incorrectly, or that your table is becoming unlevel, we will come back out to fix the issue. This is good for six months after your service is completed.
Our normal appointment times are at 8 or 9 am and 1 or 2 pm. If we need to carry the table up stairs there is an additional cost starting at $45, depending on the table size. On a home to home move we do not charge extra for a single flight of stairs on a three piece slate table. We do not move one piece slate pool tables.
