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.

Traditionally, this lovely piece of furniture, because it can be intricately decorated or simply modern, is covered with turf green felt. However, more and more people are choosing other colors to help blend it in with their existing decor. It's a smart way to ensure that the space works together.

For some, it's about interior design, for others it's about the wear and tear of the felt, and then there are those who have suffered direct damage as a result of a bad shot. It is an unfortunate occurrence, but it can be a common one, especially if those playing don't have much experience. The point is, replacement is necessary after damage is done, because it will interfere with the playing surface.

Whatever the reason for replacing the felt, consumers today have a wide selection of colors to pick from. Soft caramel colors are easier on the eyes, and are often easier to blend with other neutral color schemes within the space. For those that have bold colors in the room, a deep red is always eye-catching, but it can be tiring on 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.

As such, this skilled labor and top-quality materials come with a price. Some may charge more than others, so it is recommended to do some homework to save a few dollars. However, one should never compromise quality for the savings. What people should be looking for is value, and that means a proper installation with a good quality felt.

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.
