Recommend a mechanic in Northwest Chicago suburbs?

[bdorman]

I posted this in the Mechanics section, but would like to reach out to the Main forum too:

Can anyone recommend a mechanic in the Northwest Chicago suburbs for a re-cloth and general checking of the table?

It's a community table; 8 ft. Presidential Billiards. A few years ago the organization used an outfit call Expert Pool Table Repair. Nothing wrong with the previous installation but I want to get the best we can afford.

I was surprised that so few installers were listed on Angie's List, and the few who were had only 1-2 feedbacks.

I would also appreciate any advice about what we should expect to pay. I know it will depend on the cloth used, but let's assume Simonis 860HR.

Thanks.

i take from your post "angie" doesn't get her table covered or inspected much (this is a joke for those comedically challenged).

The answers will vary. Some rooms just go for price not quality.
