Pool Table Recovering

Folks

Any one ever dealt with EJ Riley or Ger Dunphy for pool table recovering. Just looking for some feedback on how other people got on.

Thanks

Well that was pretty helpful thanks.
All i wanted to know was if anyone had used either of these before and where they happy with the outcome.
Didnt think what i asked was all that cryptic to be honest

Sorry i misread your opening post. I thought you said "Just looking at some feedback on how other people got on".

Rileys charged me 380 and that included all the rubbers and a new pool table cover.
And they did a great job on it

You got robbed. Seriously.

I own a snooker club (the cue club in Killarney, and have done so for 12 years), and the firm that does my tables now are easily the best in the country, and dont charge anything like the above price for a pool table.

McEvoy snooker and pool from Wicklow. 087-2445846

Any exhibitions we do around the country, McEvoys put in the table and the players are hugely complementary of the table conditions. Andy used to be the tablefitter at Goffs for the B@H Irish masters down through the years. I couldnt recommend him highly enough.
In case readers think I have a vested interest here, then no, I have not. Just giving the benefit of my experience.
Im sure Ken Doherty knows a bit about tables, and he lets nobody but Andy McEvoy do his table.

Anyway, its another choice for those looking.

Re covering pool table

Would go for Rileys. Charged me 220 euros to cover my table. Done great job, also Brendan Cosgrove is tops.Real gent. Think he charges about same. Mc Evoy snooker & pool never did Goffs! Ger Dunphy claims that one- when BCE were the table suppliers.

pool table recovering

Booked McEvoy Snooker & Pool to recover my table. Never showed.No phone call nothing! Got Rileys to do the work.Charged €220 Done good job too. Reasonable price. I think the average price you should pay is 200-€250 not inc new rubbers.
