Moving a pool table in Rhode Island

It is not difficult to find a professional company to move a pool table in Rhode Island. The founders of this website worked extensively in the pool table industry before this website was ever developed. They recognized a need in the industry for customers to find a local company to move their pool table because they also had a local website dedicated to their pool table service business but in the process they began to receive several inquiries from customers all over the United States requesting pool table movers in their area.

The process to move a pool table should always be left to a professional, many people get the idea they will move the pool table by themselves and get halfway into the job and realize they are really in over their heads. It is important to understand the danger you can quickly become involved in if you attempt to move any pool table by yourself.

First the pool table must be dismantled, or what we call "tear down". This process has many different variations depending on the brand and type of pool table you have. Some pool tables will have three pieces of slate and some will have 1 piece. Even professionals sometimes cannot tell by looking at the pool table if it is a 1 or 3 piece slate. If assumed it is a 1 peice slate and handled that way by an amateur one could end up without a pool table because the slate may be broken.

Slate is heavy! Pool table slate dates back througout time as being the ideal choice for the playfield of a pool table due to it's density and abiltiy to make flat, one piece slates that are 8 foot long are generally about 7/8 of an inch thick and have a shipping weight of appox. 400 lbs. After tearing down the pool table it must be transported which can be difficult if you don't have the right equipment and vehicle. After transportation the pool table must be set up or "installed" which is a whole process of screws, levels, nuts, bolts and professional experience working on pool tables.

Buying a pool table in Rhode Island

Many first time pool table buyers ask us who makes the best pool table, this is close to asking who makes the best car or who makes the best airplane. We believe this is impossible to answer, some people believe in brand names such as Olhausen, Brunswick or Connelly but just as pool table manufacturers have their strengths, they also have their share of weaknesses which we won't get into here. Selecting a pool table to buy is a choice that needs to be made depending on several factors such as room, budget, skill level, reason for having a pool table, time playing or experience playing pool, how long you plan to be in your residence and so on. We won't try to confuse the issue but a pool table company listed here in North Providence Rhode Island can help you. If buying a used pool table you should always consult a couple professionals for their opinions. Try sticking with installers instead of salespeople, they generally have the most honest pool table knowledge that is not bias.
