Smart Options With Pool Table Refelting

By Lisa Williamson


Billiards is a wonderful pastime, and a wonderful inclusion in any home that has the available size for it. Of course, they do tend to take up very large areas, so they are not suitable to every home. Those who have the space are blessed. However, after enjoying the game for several years, the felt may begin to show its way there and tear. Below are smart options with pool table refelting for residents of Denver, CO.

Being a piece of furniture, it should be treated as such. Therefore, the piece should blend in as best as possible with the rest of the furnishings in the space. Most of these are generally covered in turf green felt, but there are many other options these days, and consumers are taking advantage of them.

In some cases, the need to replace the felt follows an accident with the cue stick. It can be painful for the owner, as it is an added expense, but it can happen, and frequently does happen. Of course, replacement is necessary soon after, otherwise no one can continue to play on the surface until it is repaired.

Whether it's for interior design purposes, wear and tear, or an unfortunate accident, consumers have lots of choices today with regards to felt colors. Many opt for camel, because it's a soft color, considered neutral, and therefore blends well with other neutral colors and beyond. Some may prefer the deep red to blend in with their bolder design scheme. While very attractive, and striking, it can tire the eyes.

Blue is another popular choice, because it stands out, it is bold, but it's not as hard on the eyes as is the red. Of course, one can always choose the very popular turf green, which still tops the list. No matter which one is chosen, this is a professional job because it must be done to perfection. Otherwise, it will just interfere with the game.

The job entails the removal of the existing felt, from both the surface and the bumpers. From there, the new felt will have to be cut to size, which is usually done off-site. The specialist will use his top-notch skills to deliver the best results, after dismantling and replacing the pieces in question.

In other words, there is a cost involved in all the labor and the top quality material that is going to be used in the replacement. As in any other industry, some companies simply charge more than others. Therefore, it is in the consumer's best interest to shop around, for the best value.

The best thing to do is call the company for an estimate. Generally, someone will come on-site to inspect the table, although an estimate can be provided over the telephone, and depending on the company. Moreover, consumers will find that some companies charge hourly rates, whereas others provide a fixed rate estimate. Choose whichever one feels more comfortable, as if there are any troubles during the installation, it could increase the overall cost dramatically.
