Question 1

How much does a typical pool table cost in Canada?

Accepted Answer

As a general guide, in Canada, entry-level slate pool tables start around $2,500–$3,500, mid-range models from established brands like Majestic or Palason run $4,000–$7,000, and competition-grade tables from Rasson or Brunswick range from $8,000 to $20,000+. Non-slate (MDF) tables can be found under $1,500 but play noticeably differently and rarely last. Delivery and professional installation typically add $400–$800 depending on your city and access. Pre-owned slate tables are a strong value: a professionally reconditioned 8-foot table often lands between $1,800 and $3,500 installed. We supply new, used and coin-operated tables to commercial venues across all ten provinces, and every table is delivered, installed and levelled by our own crews — tell us your room and budget for a written quote.

Question 2

How much does it cost to move a pool table?

Accepted Answer

As a general guide, professional pool table moving in Canada typically costs $400–$800 for a local move of a standard 3-piece slate table, including disassembly, transport, reassembly and levelling. Stairs, tight access, one-piece slates and long distances push the price up — expect $800–$1,500 for complex or intercity moves. Never move a slate table assembled: the slate cracks, the frame racks, and the rails loosen. A proper move always includes disassembly, padded transport of each slate piece, and precision re-levelling at the destination. Our crews move commercial and residential tables Canada-wide, quoting the full disassembly-transport-reassembly-levelling job up front so there are no surprises on move day.

Question 3

Is it worth buying a used pool table?

Accepted Answer

As a general guide, usually yes — if it has a slate bed and you have it professionally inspected, moved and refelted. Slate doesn't wear out; the frame, rails, pockets and cloth do, and all of those are serviceable. A quality used table from brands like Dufferin, Brunswick or Palason can deliver 80% of new-table performance for 40% of the price. The traps: MDF tables sold as 'like slate', cracked or chipped slate, and DIY moves that ruin the table before it reaches you. Budget for professional moving ($400–$800) and fresh felt ($300–$500) on top of the purchase price. We inspect, refurbish and warranty the used tables we sell, and deliver and install them across Canada, so a reconditioned table arrives playing true rather than as somebody else's problem.

Question 4

How often should pool table felt be replaced?

Accepted Answer

As a general guide, for home use, quality billiard cloth lasts 5–10 years; in commercial rooms with daily play, expect 1–3 years. Replace the felt when you see visible wear lines along common shot paths, pilling or fuzzing that slows the balls, burn marks, or inconsistent roll. A professional refelt in Canada runs $300–$550 including cloth, and it's the single biggest playability upgrade an older table can get. Worsted wool cloth (like Simonis) costs more than woolen blends but plays faster, truer and lasts longer. We refelt commercial and residential tables on-site anywhere in Canada, inspecting cushions and level while the cloth is off so the whole table plays right afterward, not just the new surface.
