Questions before we begin.
Based in Wappingers Falls, NY. Serving approximately 80 miles, with longer-distance work by arrangement. Check the service area
Are refelting, recovering and cloth replacement the same service?
These terms are commonly used for replacing a pool table’s playing cloth. TableSmith replaces both the bed cloth and rail cloth, with color and cloth options discussed before the work.
Can new cloth be installed during a move?
Yes. The Brunswick Century move from Pine Plains to Morris Plains included red Tour Edition 3030 cloth. If you are planning a move, include the cloth change in your moving survey so the work can be quoted together.
Does new cloth fix cushions that do not rebound well?
New cloth and new rubber cushions are separate parts of the work. Mention weak or inconsistent rebounds when requesting refelting, so the cushion condition can be evaluated. The Nanuet, Saugerties and Millbrook projects combined cushion replacement with new cloth.
Our commitment to your table
We stand behind our workmanship.
Careful assembly, accurate leveling, properly fitted cloth and attention to the pockets and cushions matter. So does how you are treated after the work is complete.
If something doesn’t seem right after service, contact Brad directly. We’ll assess the concern, explain what we find and take responsibility for correcting issues caused by our workmanship.
Talk with Brad: 845-600-0312Clear expectations
We’ll explain the work, materials and any known table conditions that affect the job. If additional paid work is needed, we’ll discuss the charges before proceeding.
Care for older tables
Age and previous repairs can cause issues unrelated to new work. Follow-up assessments on antique tables are initially charged at standard travel and labor rates, disclosed before the visit. Charges attributable to a confirmed workmanship issue are waived or refunded.
A clear explanation of the cause
Normal wear, accidental damage, changes in the supporting floor, or problems caused by someone else moving or working on the table may need separate paid service. We’ll explain the findings and your options.
