Pool Table Refelting With Interior Decor In Mind

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.

No matter how it is looked at, this is a piece of furniture. Some may be impressively designed with elaborate ornamentation, while others may have straight lines. Very often, and especially in the past, its surface is covered with green felt. Today, with interior design on the mind of many, they prefer to choose better colors that will work better with their existing decor.

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.

No matter what the reason is for having to replace the felt, consumers should know that they have choice with regards to felt colors. For instance, a very popular color is camel because, being a neutral color, it works with almost any color scheme, and even more so with other neutrals. Red is another popular color among those that prefer bold colors.

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.

Because this is such intricate work, and because it requires very fine tuned skills, the replacement certainly comes with a cost. As in all industries that are competitive, some charge more than others. To get the best value, it is recommended to seek out an experienced professional with the best prices.

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.
