Services offered by Century Billiards
Some of the many services we offer here at Century Billiards & Gameroom:
- Professional Moving Service
- You never know when you might have to move your pool table. You might be having a new floor put in or may even have had a floor in your basement. It is difficult to work around the pool table. It is important not to let any moving companies, carpet crews, or handymen attempt to lift or move your pool table. The proper way to move a table is to dismantle the table completely. Table components should be wrapped in moving blankets, especially the rails. The slates must be positioned flat. Just because the cloth is coming off when you take the table apart does not mean that it cannot be upholstered once again with the same billiard cloth. Don't let some pool hall junkie convince you that it has to have new cloth. It is important for the safety of your pool table to only allow factory trained technicians from Century Billiards & Gameroom to perform work on your table. We specialize in moving tables in the New York area from one residence to the next. We also perform in-house moves from one level of your home to another level of your home. Please call and speak with an expert at Century Billiards & Gameroom.
- Re-upholstering of Billiard cloth on slate and rails
- Billiard cloth has a life expectancy. How well you take care of your table will determine how long your cloth will last. Your table should be brushed after play and always remain covered while it is not in use. Let factory trained billiard technicians at Century Billiards & Gameroom perform the quality of work found nowhere else in the northeast. Our work speaks for itself. Our cloth is pulled tight. There are no ripples in the fabric and all staples in the pockets are tucked up underneath. All rails are tightly upholstered and the table is leveled properly. We provide a coordinating box of chalk when we perform this work on your table.
- Rubber Cushion replacement
- One of the most critical parts of your pool table is the rebound or action off of the rubber cushions. Like cloth, rubber cushions have a life expectancy. Rubber cushions can expand and contract in different climates. They will play different in the winter and in the summer. Over time cushions will dry out and tighten up tremendously. They can completely solidify and all you will hear when bouncing a ball off is simply a loud "thud". Many times, the angle of the wood lining which the rubber cushion is adhered to has to be changed. Unfortunately, many people in this industry do not know the proper angle for maximum rebound. Here at Century Billiards & Gameroom, our billiard technicians go above and beyond our customer's expectations.
- *A good way to avoid a rubber cushion replacement is easy... stick with an Olhausen Billiard Table. It comes with the only 100% gum rubber cushion with a lifetime warranty. Nobody else can legitimately back that statement. Accufast cushions are hands down, the best rubber cushion in the game.*
- Re-leveling
- Assembling
- In order to play like a pro, your table must be assembled properly. Beware of those local guys who claim they have worked on tables for 20 years. This is exactly who you do not want assembling your table. You are going to have it put together once, don't cut corners by hiring a novice billiard company or pool shark who claims he will save you $50 -$100. If you want the best quality work, call Century Billiards & Gameroom to speak with an expert today.
- Dismantling
- Pool tables must be handled with care at all times. Even when it is being taken apart, one must be extremely careful handling the different components. The slates are very heavy and will crack if they are dropped. If you are moving out of state and you would like to take your table with you, no problem.

We can even provide you with a reputable company to assemble your table.

*Important*
If you have a pool table and are planning on placing a new floor down or having new carpet installed, please call the professionals at Century Billiards & Gameroom. Don't let the floor guy or carpet crew touch your pool table. You do not want them lifting your table!!! This can cause the slates to separate, jump, or possibly even crack the legs of your pool table. This can be a dangerous situation if not handled properly.
