Thanks again for your interest in my company's services.  My name is Matt Petrowsky and I am the owner/operator of Your Local Pool Table Guy, Inc.  I have been servicing, building, and restoring pool tables in the Chicagoland Area and it's suburbs for more than 15 years.   I have worked on everything from Antique Snooker tables built in the late 1800's to the high end Victorian Billiards tables of the early 20th century, along with Brunswick's infamous Gold Crown designs that originated in the 1960's all the way up to the most modern & high tech pool table models of today.  Over the years, I have built up many long lasting business relationships performing repeat work for general contractors, flooring companies, retirement communities, insurance companies, universities, restoration contractors, commercial businesses, and professional movers.

I find that sometimes people mistake their pool table for just another piece of large, heavy furniture.  They figure that they can just disassemble and reassemble it themselves or get a couple of the guys together to lift it up and move it to a new location.  Unfortunately they don't take into consideration the fact that the pool table was delivered and built piece by piece by a trained installer and in order to do anything such as relocate, recover, or repair it, the pool table must be taken apart and put back together in the same fashion.  Even if you are only lifting the pool table up a little bit to either level it or move it over a few feet, you could likely be doing irreparable damage to the frame, slate, and hardware of the table.

Recovering a pool table is also an extremely difficult procedure, especially if you have not done it many times before.  The felt must be stretched in a specific way across the table top and cut in around the pocketed areas in order to get a tight, wrinkle free playing surface and properly wrapped pockets.  As for the re-felting of the rails, I honestly consider it a bit of an art form.  The way that the felt must be tucked, wrapped around the rail with just the right pressure, and stapled to the underside is definitely a skill that is difficult to master, especially at the corners of the cushions where there is a specific trick to getting the felt around the different angles of the edges.

Believe it or not, this is only the beginning.  There is still the leveling of the individual pieces of slate, the filling and smoothing of the seams between the pieces of slate, the proper alignment and angling of the rails and pockets, and much more.  After all of the money you put into the purchase and installation of your pool table, don't let just anyone handle your investment.  My company is fully licensed, bonded, & insured and offers a wide range of pool table services to fit your needs.  Contact me now at 815-207-3651 and we will be happy to assist you with your next purchase or answer questions you may have about the great services we offer.  Remember, whether you need your pool table built, moved, or repaired, I am your guy . . . . .
