Looking for classic pool table restorers in Southern Ontario

So I have a pool table that's pretty old that I got from my grandfather decades ago. Finally have the money to fix it, but all the people that I've seen that do this work are in the US. Is there anyone that does pool table restoration in Canada? Specifically Southern Ontario? For reference, this is the table I would be looking to restore

Thread 'Sharing my old Brunswick table'

Thought I'd share my table on here. From what my grandfather told me of it, it's an old Monarch model, over a century old, and as far as he knew at the time, he only knew of three in existence, and they were all in Pennsylvania. I'm pretty sure there's more then that, but it's definitely not one you see every day. As far as I know, it's the only one in Canada.

We've had it in the family since the 50's, but after being in a poorly ventilated basement by a cistern, we finally moved it out of the house when my grandfather passed away. Took four guys that looked like they'd be a good O line...

I would suggest you start with Pat McCarthy, who is the top table mechanic in the GTA. He’s a good snooker player too and does lots of snooker tables (which this is).

For sure he could make it play great, but I don’t know if he does the refinishing work you mentioned. If not, maybe he knows someone who does. If that fails, you may have to send it to the US for that type of restoration.

Shoot me a PM if you need Pat’s number.
