Smart Options With Pool Table Refelting

Smart Options With Pool Table Refelting


by Lisa Williamson


Anyone who's ever played billiards understands it is a wonderfully entertaining game that provides great challenges and skill. People are very attracted to the game for various reasons, and often love having access to it within their own homes. Unfortunately, most simply don't have the added space to accommodate its over-sized dimensions, but there are many that do, and at some point, will have to do some maintenance. Below are the options of pool table refelting, but with interior decor in mind for the savvy consumers 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.

A specialist would come on the site, remove the existing felt, and replace it with a new one, according to the consumer's color choice. Obviously, this should not be left to just anyone to do, as it requires top-notch skills for top-notch results. There is a lot of work involved in replacing the felt, as the table and often the bumpers, will have to be somewhat dismantled.

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.

More often than not, the company representative will provide an estimate after having seen the pool table in question. Some skilled laborers may charge by the hour, while others will give a fixed rate. Most consumers prefer to go with those that provide the fixed rate because, if the individual is having trouble with the installation, the consumer is not charged more than necessary.
