I just bought a cue that needs refinishing. The guy I got it from recommended Proficient Billiards. I have no experience with this company so I'm asking for input from anyone that does. Your help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks JUSTABANGER

I have used them... They do a great job at a very reasonable price
Highly recommend
It's a Helmstetter. I just bought from a guy on here. He told me up front that the finish and wrap was beat up and it needed redone. I took a chance on it and really like the way it hits. So I want it to look as good it can.
I would try one of the cue makers on AZBilliards forums, then write up a review when it is done.:smile:
I'm not sure I'd want to be the one to judge a cue makers work. Plus how would you choose which one and how much time are we talking. I don't want to wait weeks or even months for one of them to get around to do a simple refinish.
Go with Proficiant or Ryan at Muelers , They both do great work , and there prices are Good . I have used both . Jim

+1 for Proficient Billiards....He finishes when he SAYS he will, or at least he always has for me, and he does top notch work.
Proficient billiards refinished my cue and did an excellent job in a very reasonable time. My only complaint is the the wrap came back without the shiney protective finish. It was cleaned , pressed but not coated.
PB does great work as everyone says. I'd use them again.
Also consider SEYBERTS. The gent that does the repairs is 1st class. I had a cue re-wrapped and and wrap-less sneaky grooved and wrapped. Came out real nice.

Not all simple refinish jobs are not always simple. There might be a problem that you might not know about.
Phone calls and emails work for finding out who else is out there. There might be someone right around the corner from where you live that can do it.
Funny...there is a section on AZBilliards--------ask the cuemaker.
Sounds like a good place to start. :smile:
i havent read all the posts but in the ask the cuemakers section of the forum proficient was highly recommended in a thread

what he said!... just had a Gilbert worked on there. First time working with Scot and stopped by the shop will on vacation. Good work, says what he can and can not do, delivers on time.
What they said again! Scott at Proficient. Did an absolutely amazing job on my six windows Schon. Wish I could take the kind of photos posted by 21whiskey. I'd post them in an instant.
