Frequently Asked Questions About Pricing

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Pool Table Services

How do you protect the slate during transit across San Diego?
Each slate slab is individually wrapped in heavy quilted moving blankets and secured vertically in custom-built vehicle racks. Transporting slates vertically eliminates road vibration stress and prevents horizontal shearing fractures.
Do you move pool tables with stairs at either location?
Yes. We handle straight flights, curved stairs, and basement or second-story game rooms. We charge an affordable stair fee ($35–$50 per flight) to deploy specialized slate-handling equipment and additional crew members.
Can you save and reuse the existing cloth on my pool table during a move?
Yes. If your current felt is in good condition, our technicians carefully un-staple it without tearing so it can be re-stretched over the slate and rails at your new home.
How much does it cost to move a pool table in San Diego?
In San Diego County, moving an 8-foot slate pool table locally typically costs between $349 and $425. Pricing depends on table size, slate thickness (1-piece vs. 3-piece), flight of stairs ($35–$50 per flight), and whether you opt for new Championship or Simonis refelting during reassembly.
Can you move a slate pool table in one piece without taking it apart?
No. Never attempt to move a slate pool table assembled. The slate weighs 450 to 900 pounds, and moving the table whole causes frame warping, slate fractures, broken dowels, and ruined leveling. Professional movers always disassemble the rails, remove the cloth, and transport individual slate slabs vertically.
Why hire a dedicated pool table mover instead of general household movers?
General movers lack specialized billiard tools like Starrett 0.005" precision machinist levels, torched beeswax joint sealant, and custom vertical slate transit racks. General movers often carry minimum cargo liability ($0.60/lb), while specialized pool table movers provide 100% level and playability guarantees with full structural insurance.
How long does a professional pool table move take?
A standard 7ft or 8ft local move takes approximately 3 to 4 hours from start to finish. Disassembly takes 45 to 60 minutes, followed by transit time, and reassembly with machinist leveling and beeswax joint welding takes 90 to 120 minutes.
What is the difference between Championship Titan and Simonis 860 felt?
Championship Titan is a 21-ounce woolen cloth with DuPont Teflon coating, engineered for exceptional durability in active family game rooms. Simonis 860 is an ultra-smooth worsted wool blend imported from Belgium, designed for tournament-grade ball speed, zero nap, and professional ball roll accuracy.
What size room is required for an 8-foot pool table?
An 8-foot table (44" x 88" playing surface) requires a minimum room size of 13 feet 6 inches by 17 feet when using standard 58-inch cues. If your room is slightly narrower, 48-inch or 52-inch short cues allow comfortable play around posts or tight walls.
