Pool Table Moving & Installation

Pool Table Masters provides professional pool table moving, disassembly, transportation, reassembly, slate seam work and precision leveling throughout the Portland Metro area, Southwest Washington and surrounding communities.

A Pool Table Move Is More Than Transportation

A slate pool table is a precision game table, not ordinary furniture. Moving it correctly means taking it apart in the proper sequence, protecting the components, transporting the slate safely and rebuilding the table so it plays correctly at the new location.

1Careful DisassemblyRails, pockets, cloth, slate and cabinet components are removed as appropriate for the table and prepared for transport.
2Protected TransportHeavy slate and table components are handled with billiards-specific care and secured for the trip to the new location.
3Professional ReassemblyThe frame and slate are installed correctly, slate sections are aligned, and seams are sealed and finished for a smooth playing surface.
4Precision LevelingThe finished table is leveled with machinist levels and adjusted for accurate, consistent ball roll.

Why Professional Disassembly Matters

Trying to move a slate table assembled can damage the table, the slate, the home — or the people lifting it.

Slate Is Extremely Heavy
A typical slate pool table can weigh hundreds of pounds. The slate is designed to be supported by the table, not carried around inside an assembled cabinet.
Rails & Pockets Are Not Handles
Lifting from rails or pockets can damage mounting points, hardware, cushion alignment and finished wood components.
The Frame Can Twist
Improper lifting or carrying can rack or distort a cabinet and create problems that show up later during leveling and play.
Reassembly Affects Play
Slate alignment, seam finishing and leveling all matter. Simply putting the pieces back together is not the same as professionally installing the table.

Precision Leveling Is Part of the Installation

After a move, the table must be leveled for its new floor and location. Pool Table Masters uses machinist levels rather than relying on ordinary carpenter levels. Slate sections are adjusted individually, seams are properly finished, and the completed table is checked for consistent play.

Flooring matters too. Carpet and padding, rubber flooring, foam tiles and interlocking gym-style flooring can compress under the concentrated weight of a pool table. If the flooring continues to settle after installation, the table may require another adjustment after the surface stabilizes.

Existing Cloth During a Move

Existing cloth can often be reused, but it cannot always be guaranteed. The previous installation method, age and condition of the cloth can affect whether it comes off cleanly. Older or brittle cloth may tear or may not have enough material to be properly re-stretched. If replacement becomes necessary, we’ll discuss the options with you before installing new cloth.

A Look at the Moving & Installation Process

What Affects the Cost of a Pool Table Move?

Moving prices depend on the table and the job. Important factors include table size, one-piece versus three-piece slate, travel distance, stairs, tight access, long carries, specialty or antique construction, and whether you are adding new cloth, cushions, repairs or other upgrades during the move.
