⏱ 45 Minutes. $429. No Complaints.
Just uploaded a time-lapse of an MDF pool table assembly we knocked out in 45 minutes.
Customer called for “pool table service. ”What they didn’t realize? It wasn’t a slate table — it was MDF.
Most homeowners don’t know the difference.
But here’s the key:
We charge based on the service scheduled — not how hard we think it might be.
✅ $50 deposit to lock in the schedule
✅ Agreed-upon price before arrival
✅ Professional install
✅ 45 minutes later… done
Total paid: $429
Now let’s break down the lesson:
This trade isn’t just about refelting slate tables.
There are:
• MDF assemblies• Disassemblies• Moves• Leveling• Cushion swaps• Recovers
Sometimes the job is easier than expected.Sometimes it’s harder.
Either way — the price doesn’t change once scheduled.
That’s called running a business, not guessing on-site.
If you’re paying attention, this is why I teach:
• Systems• Deposits• Clear pricing• Professional positioning
Most people don’t even know this trade exists.
And yes — MDF is easier than slate.
But the value isn’t in how heavy the table is.
The value is:
✔ You showed up
✔ You knew what you were doing
✔ You saved them time and frustration
✔ You handled it professionally
This is how you build a profitable service business.
Watch the time-lapse and study the movement.
Speed comes from repetition.
