Slate pool table in a finished Kansas City basement
Carpet, a low header, slate that has to come apart. How we get a pool table out of a finished basement — not the quote page and not a safe on the same stair.
Pool table moves is that it comes apart, the slate is the weight, and it has to go back together level. How a safe comes up a basement is a steel box on the same kind of flight. Hot tub over a fence is the next page. This page is the finished rec room: carpet, a header, slate pieces through a room you already paid to finish. Two ZIP codes: Get my price. We will not write “licensed and insured.”
From [$XXX] an hour for two movers and a truck — two movers and a truck. Most local jobs $1,200–$1,500. A slate table is often a third and a take-apart, not two and a four-wheel. We do not publish a slate fee here. What changes the price. How we quote: two ZIP codes. Compare hours: how to compare hourly quotes. Damage: [TIM'S DAMAGE POLICY].

What “finished basement” changes
- Carpet and a tight turn — how we protect floors and rails
- A header a loaded piece will not stand under — garage as a room is the same height problem above grade
- Slate comes off; we will not walk a assembled table up as a dare — pool table moves
- House dollies stop at the first tread — how we use dollies
- A piano board is not a slate plan — piano board and stair creeper

We will not treat a safe path as a table path — different piece, different take-apart. How long: how long a local move takes.

Frequently asked questions
Can you walk it up assembled?
No. Slate comes off. We will not drag an assembled table through a finished rec room as a shortcut.
Is this the pool-table quote page?
That page is take-apart, slate, and level at dest. This page is the finished basement path. Read both.
Low ceiling over the stair.
Say the height. A header a loaded piece will not stand under is the same problem as a low garage door.
Is a basement safe the same job?
No. Steel box vs slate slabs. See how a safe comes up a basement.
Will it be level at the new house?
We reassemble and level. That is the pool-table page. This page is getting it out of the rec room.
Send the rec room. Send the header.
Two ZIP codes and photos of the basement stair. We will write a take-apart, not a drag across new carpet.
