This a question to all Mechanics that perform Pool Room Recoveries:
When you quote a price for recovering a rooms tables, what exactly does that include?
To me that would be simply just this: recover the tables.
If there is more work i.e. rewaxing/ bondo'in seams, leveling, missing hardware and any other repairs, How do you address this in the quote? How much do you charge for the extra work?
I recently did a room there was a bunch of extra work involved. Seams all split and had to be redone, installer before me used HUGE staples and took twice as long to get them all out of the rails and slate backers. I replaced all missing hardware and dressed all 6 pockets on each table with the 2 piece method to not see any relief cuts or staples. My helper and I did a good job on each an every single table, but, it was quite a bit more than we expected. I did not try to change my deal with the room owner, but, I feel like I did not charge enough.
I am also wondering what most people would charge for a 9' recover using Simonis 860 Hr? Single table and 10 or more?
Just would like to see what other peoples opinions and pricing might be. I have never seen this topic brought up in this forum before, thanks to all who may participate.
