Man Cave Billiards

We had NO idea what was involved with moving a pool table from one house to another until we contacted Josh on Craigslist. We had bought a 3 slate pool table (which we didn’t know anything about the different types of pool tables anyway) off of a private seller on Craigslist, showed up, and couldn’t budge the pool table with three strong men. That’s when we realized we needed to either figure out how to DIY a pool disassembly/​reassembly, or contact a professional. After watching three 30 minute YouTube’s on how to do it, and the ridiculous work that was involved, we started searching Craigslist for a pro. We contacted 3 companies, and Josh was the only one who didn’t charge extra for having to move the pool table downstairs into our basement, but also was the lowest price.
He was pretty booked, so the next available slot he had open wasn’t for a few days. That was okay with us. He got to the house right on time on the agreed day, and set to work quietly and quickly. He used mover’s blankets to ensure no pieces got scratched. He brought all of his tools in professionally organized duffle bags. He kept a clean, professional, pleasant appearance, and so did his assistant. It took him about 1 – 1.5 hours to disassemble, then drove it to our house, where it took about another 2+ hrs to reassemble in our basement (they worked fast, too, with no breaks). They communicated well with us, advised us on proper placement of where the pool table should go (in order for cue sticks to not hit the wall when played). Josh also educated us during certain reassembly steps, on the difference between a 1 and 3 slab table, the pros and cons of each, educated us on the manufacturing of our specific type of slate slabs, showed us how he leveled the slabs with shims, showed us how he sealed each slab together so there were no seams, tested balls out as he rolled them after leveling, and even stretched the felt over the table better than it was originally when we bought it.
And get this… all on Thanksgiving Eve, with no complaint. He worked hard, and professionally, and was even pleasant around our 3 and 1 year olds as they curiously looked on to see what the «worker guy» was building for us.
This is the only company anyone should ever use! This is by NO MEANS a DIY project (coming from the queen of DIY projects). If you’re reading this, thanks, Josh!

We needed assistance last minute so I went to Craigslist in search of a pool table mover. I stumbled across Man Cave Billiards hesitantly gave them a call (Craigslist can be questionable) and was pleasantly surprised. Josh was prompt, knowledgeable and very professional. He alerted me to several flaws in the table we were looking to purchase and the costs we would incur. He was very upfront and honest in all our conversations. Ultimately we ended up buying a table, Man Cave did our refurbishment (Refinished the rails, bumpers and felt) and it came out AWESOME! I (and my husband) are thrilled with our new table, the price to refurbish was unbeatable and the quality of work was impeccable. I plan to use their services again in the future. Highly recommend!

Do Not use these guys!
Found Josh on Craigslist and hired him. Turns out my wife knows him through one of her friends and seemed like a nice guy. He came and built table, did a decent job but the slate started to raise after a couple of weeks and I just didn’t get around to calling him at that time since we don’t play on it that often.
Called him 2.5 months later since it had gotten worse, to the point that balls change direction, and he said that he wouldn’t honor his work and that I would need to repay him to build the table. I told him I’d fund his gas, etc. He refused and said I’ve probably sat on it or something.
Original ad stated that he guarantees his work, BS.
Do not use their service.
