Moving a Pool Table for New Flooring

From $549 — Disassembly, Stage & Reassembly — Call 770-601-8795

Getting new carpet, hardwood, tile, or luxury vinyl? Your pool table has to come out of the room first — and that means full disassembly. You cannot simply slide a pool table out of the way. The weight of the slate (200–400 pounds depending on table size) and the precision of the leveling means the table must be completely taken apart and professionally reassembled after the flooring work is complete.

This is one of our most common service calls, and we've streamlined the process to work efficiently with your flooring contractor's schedule.

How the Process Works

We typically schedule the disassembly for the day before or the morning of your flooring installation. We disassemble the table completely, move the components to a safe staging area within your home (garage, spare room, etc.), and get out of the flooring crew's way. Once the new flooring is complete and has had time to cure, we return to reassemble and level the table on the new surface.

Important: New Flooring Changes the Level

Even if your table was perfectly level before the flooring work, the new surface will almost certainly require fresh leveling. Different flooring materials have different thicknesses and subfloor responses. A professional re-leveling after flooring installation isn't optional — it's required. This is included in our service.

Choosing the Right Flooring Under a Pool Table

Any hard or semi-hard flooring works well under a pool table. If you're installing carpet, consider a denser pad beneath the table area — soft, deep carpet can compress unevenly under the table's legs over time and cause leveling issues. A thin, firm pad (or no pad) under the table is ideal. We're happy to advise on this before your installation.

Area Rugs

If you're moving to a hard floor surface (hardwood, tile, etc.) from carpet, an area rug under the pool table is recommended. It stabilizes the legs, reduces noise, and helps conceal any shims that might be needed for leveling on an uneven surface.
