Professional Pool Table Movers

Most people move pool tables themselves to avoid paying a professional mover to help them with the task. However, this is not an easy task to accomplish as pool tables are often slate and are extremely heavy. They can be moved with or without disassembly, depending on the location of the table. Some of the pool tables we move include:

  • Billiards or slate pool tables
  • Snooker tables
  • shuffleboard tables

Assembly and Disassembly

The process of assembling and disassembling pool tables can be challenging as the technique you use will highly be dependent on the model, age, brand and condition of the pool table. While finding the correct instructions to take apart your table and assemble it again is possible, it takes time and a lot of effort. With us, you do not have to worry about the technicalities of the move.

How much does it cost to move a pool table?

It is not as easy as ABC to estimate the cost of moving a pool table. First, costs will depend on the type of pool table you are moving to. It will also depend on the weight of the pool table as this will determine how many people are needed to move the table. Furthermore, Dearman considers whether the table will be moved through stairs as these are often difficult to maneuver. Lastly, the cost will depend on how far we will move the table from its current location.

Spa and Hot Tub Moving Company

Dearman Movers can help you move a hot tub from your current area to a new destination. Our specialty moving services are high quality, and we can move the tub across Ohio for you. We can move it no matter the tub or spa type.

Assembly and Disassembly

Depending on the type of hot tub you have decides whether it needs to be disassembled completely or not. Parts like the pump, heater, filter, blower, and electrical will need to be detached no matter the style. We have the skills and knowledge to remove the tub from your home and reassemble it back once you reach your new home. 

How much does it cost to move a hot tub?

The cost of moving a tub will mainly depend on the difficulty of the move. For example, if the tub is moved to a higher elevation, the cost of moving will be higher compared to a tub going on a lower floor. Furthermore, if our company needs to use specialized equipment such as a forklift or crane, your price will be higher, and you will likely be charged on an hourly basis.

Treadmill Moving and Home Gyms

When buying treadmills and other home gym equipment, it is easy to overlook just how delicate the equipment can be. While home gym equipment can be moved from one place to another in the home, you need to take more precautions when moving them from one place to another. Dearman treadmill movers can help you move gym equipment from one location to another.

We additionally move gym equipment for gym owners. See our commercial moving page.

Assembly and Disassembly

Equipment such as treadmills and elliptical machines will need to be disconnected, unplugged, and, in some cases, disassembled ahead of your move. We may also need to remove handrails and move in hallways or tight stairwells. This is due to the size and high level of care required during movement. Once we reach the destination, we will reassemble the machines and ensure they are ready for use.

How much does it cost to move a treadmill or home gym?

Moving a treadmill that is approximately 28 inches wide and 64 inches long can cost approximately $200. However, other factors may cause a fluctuation in this price. For example, taking treadmills or home gyms over long distances will increase the cost, moving to basements or the second story of a home would also result in a price increase.

Heavy Appliance, TVs, and Furniture Moving

Some furniture and home appliances are quite small and can be easily moved. Other appliances are not so light and may require more effort. Most items are included in traditional moves but if you have something abnormally large and difficult, there may be extra fees. We’ll make you aware ahead of time in our estimate if an item like this arises.

Assembly and Disassembly

Home appliances and some furniture may need to be disassembled before moving and assembled back together once they arrive at their destination. We can help you disassemble furniture and other appliances ahead of your move and reassemble them correctly once you are at your destination. We also detach mounted TVs safely and transport them safely as well.

How much does it cost to move a heavy appliance or furniture?

Estimating the moving costs for appliances, TVs, and heavy furniture can be difficult as the cost is dependent on many different factors. We treat each case differently as not all items are built them same and we have to account for the extra time it may take to move and/or disassemble and reassemble.

Arcade Games and Pinball Machine Moving and Storage

Arcade games and pinball machines are complex machines and many vintage games were built differently over time. For instance with a pinball machine, you may need to fold the game’s backbox on the playfield or wrap the playfield separately so there is no bouncing. We also may need to take off the legs and lay the pinball machine on the floor before wrapping it into blankets and carrying it to the moving truck. Arcade games are usually one piece but have screens that need protected and moving really depends on the machine. Apart from moving these games, we can also store them for later pickup.

Assembly and Disassembly

As highlighted above, a pinball machine needs a considerable amount of disassembly and reassembly before and after moving. It’s responsible to hire licensed professionals trained for the job to achieve proper moving, assembly and disassembly. 

How much does it cost to move an Arcade game or Pinball Machine?

The cost of moving pinball machines and arcade games is largely affordable. However, like most other items in this list, the cost can vary depending on other factors - mainly assembly/disassembly, location we’re moving to and from, and distance of the move. We’ll work with you to figure out what makes sense to move your vintage game.
