Removal and disposal

Pool Table Removal and Disposal

Steve takes your old table down and takes it out, safely. Removal and disposal is quoted, so call him.

A slate table is not a curbside job

A pool table looks like furniture until you try to move one. Underneath the cloth is a frame, rails, and slate that usually comes in three pieces, each of them heavy and brittle. Slate does not bend, so a piece that is tilted wrong on a stair, or set down on a corner, cracks or chips an edge. It can also take a stair tread, a doorframe or a hardwood floor with it.

That is why most people who try to take their own table apart end up calling someone anyway. The fittings are hidden, the pieces have to come off in the right order, and a basement or second floor room with a tight stairway turns a long afternoon into a hazard. Nothing about it belongs at the curb or in a driveway.

The person who sets them up takes them down

Steve installs tables for a living at his shop in Newburgh, so he knows how one goes together and, because of that, how it comes apart: felt, rails, fittings, slate, frame, in a sequence that protects the room as well as the table. He still does this work himself rather than sending someone else.

Removal and disposal is a call-for-a-quote service. There is no posted rate, since the price depends on the table, where it sits and how it has to come out of the house. The shop does not buy used tables, so this is removal, not a trade-in. Call Steve at (845) 597-5532 with the size and where it is in the house.

Settle what comes next before the table goes

An empty spot where a table stood is easy to underestimate. The floor under it is often a different color from the rest of the room, and the lights hung over it suddenly look odd. Decide whether the room is going to hold another table before the old one leaves, because that decides how the floor gets treated.

If you are keeping the table and just changing rooms, that is a move, not a disposal. If a replacement is coming, the room size chart will tell you what fits, and Steve can talk through the removal and the new install together when you call.

Steve removes pool tables out of Newburgh and quotes each job by phone. Call (845) 597-5532 with the table's size and where it sits.

Out with the old table, or just out of the room

Keeping the table but changing rooms is a table move, and keeping it through a renovation is storage. A table that only needs fresh cloth is a recovery. Replacing it? Look at the Brunswick tables, size the room with the room size chart, and see new table installation for the set up. Steve is at (845) 597-5532.
