Not long ago, a homeowner in Arvada decided to turn their basement game room into a home gym. They had a beautiful, but incredibly heavy, 3-piece slate pool table down there. They invited three friends over to help move it up the stairs. After an hour of struggling, one friend tweaked his back, and they managed to put a huge dent in the drywall. They finally gave up and called us. Our trained crew arrived, properly disassembled the table, carried the heavy slate pieces up the stairs safely, and hauled the whole thing away in under two hours.
A standard slate pool table can weigh anywhere from 700 to 1,000 pounds. You absolutely should not try to move it yourself. Trying to lift a fully assembled table will break the frame, ruin the slate, and likely cause serious injury. ZZZ Junk Removal provides expert pool table removal services across Arvada, Westminster, Broomfield, and the Denver metro area. We know exactly how to break these heavy items down so they can be removed safely.
Our Pool Table Removal Process
We treat your home with the utmost respect. Moving heavy slate requires proper technique to avoid scratching your floors or damaging your doorways. Here is how we handle it:
- 1. Careful Disassembly: We start by removing the rails, pockets, and the felt covering. We carefully unbolt the heavy slate bed (which is usually in three separate pieces) from the wooden frame.
- 2. Safe Transport: Once disassembled, our strong, experienced crew carries the heavy slate pieces and the wooden frame out of your home. We use moving blankets and dollies to protect your floors and walls.
- 3. Loading and Hauling: We load all the pieces, including the legs and accessories, into our truck.
- 4. Clean Up: We sweep up any chalk dust or debris left behind in your game room.
Donation and Recycling
If your pool table is still in excellent, playable condition, we make every effort to donate it. We partner with local youth centers, charities, and community organizations in the Denver area that might appreciate a game table. If the table is broken, water-damaged, or unplayable, we take it to specialized facilities where the wood and metal components are recycled. Read more about our commitment to the environment on our Junk Recycling page.
Clearing Out the Whole Room?
If you are getting rid of a pool table, you might be doing a full basement or game room cleanout. We offer comprehensive Residential Junk Removal. We can haul away old couches (see our Furniture Removal service), pull up old carpet (check out Carpet Removal), or take away old TVs and electronics. We also handle Estate Cleanouts if you are managing a larger property clearance.
