Pool Table Removal in Salem & the North Shore
We remove pool tables, and the felt, the rails, the slate and the frame all come off on site. We're brother-owned, locally operated, and open 24/7, and we work in Salem, Swampscott, Marblehead and 38 more towns on the North Shore and in Middlesex and Suffolk counties.
We take the table apart and carry the slate out
A pool table does not leave the room in one piece. It comes apart in the same order every time: the felt comes off the slate, the rails unbolt from the frame, the slate lifts out in sections one at a time, and then the frame and the legs come apart. We do all of it on site, every step, and you do not need to find a second person to help. If you have already started, leave the rest for us. Half a table with the rails off and the bolts in a coffee cup is harder to carry out than the whole table was, and the slate is heavy enough that it is safer in the hands of people who move it often.
How We Handle It
Access is what sets the number on this job. Most of these are in a basement or a finished room downstairs, so the four things I ask about are the stair count, how many turns the stairway makes, how wide the narrowest doorway on the way out is, and how far it is from that room to where I can park the truck. Text me a photo of the table and a second photo of the path out with the doorway in it, and I can give you a number before anyone drives over, then we confirm it in person before we start. There is one thing to be clear on before you call, because it saves us both a trip. We take a pool table apart so we can haul it away. We are not movers. We do not carry it to a new address, we do not put it back together, and we do not re-level the slate, so a table that is going somewhere else rather than going away needs a pool table mover instead of us. If it is going for good, the frame and the slate leave with us.
"Absolutely would recommend Henrique and Filipe, so nice and professional and came same day for both a quote and the actual removal!! They were careful to pivot things around our existing furniture and walls so as not to scratch or damage anything. Only good things to say!"
"The Junk Heroes are awesome!!! Excellent communication, showed up on time, and worked quickly. They were super careful while removing a heavy, awkward appliance through an old house and they talked to each other throughout the process to make sure nothing was damaged."
"Did a wonderful job from start to finish. Had 2 hospital beds that needed to be dismantled and hauled away. They took great care in moving the pieces throughout my house and getting them on the truck. Pricing was transparent and fair."
"Henrique and his brother were amazing! I texted them at 9 and they were at my house by 10, gave a very reasonable estimate (for free) and had all my junk gone by 10:30. They were incredibly professional and courteous. I will 100% call them again!!!"
"Absolutely recommend!!! Excellent communication, very polite, and clear pricing. These guys WANT TO WORK, flexible and patient as our plans kept shifting. My dad has dementia and they were incredibly sensitive to our situation. We really appreciated that!"
"Absolutely awesome experience with Junk Heroes! Professional, friendly, efficient, and incredibly quick. They showed up on time and made the whole junk-removal process painless. Moving out of an apartment is stressful enough, so a crew that takes pride in the work was huge."
What We Take: Pool Table Removal
The whole table leaves: the felt, the rails and the pockets, every section of slate, the frame, the legs, the levelers and the hardware. The cues, the rack, the balls, the light over the table and the wall cabinet go on the same truck if they are going too, so say so when you book rather than after we have loaded. If the table is coming out as part of clearing the room, the furniture around it can leave on the same visit, which costs less than bringing us back a second time.
What Sets the Price on Pool Table Removal
Two more things sit behind the stair count and the doorway, and both are about the room rather than the table. The first is what the slate has to cross. A finished floor, a stair runner or a threshold with a lip on it all mean the sections move slower and with more hands on them. The second is where the truck can sit. A bulkhead ten feet from the driveway is a short carry. A basement door at the back of the house with the only parking out on the street is the same table and a much longer day. Tell us both when you book and the quote has them in it from the start.
How Much Will This Cost?
Pricing is based on the space your load takes up in the truck, or on weight for heavy material. We give you a free, firm price in person before any work begins, and once you agree to it, it does not go up.
- $120 minimum pickup
- $70 to $100 per cubic yard
- Closer to $70 when it is light and easy to reach
For a very small job close to our Salem base we can sometimes bring the minimum down to $80 to $100, so it is worth asking. The minimum can also be higher for a job well outside our normal routes. See the full pricing page.

Here is what junk removal costs in Massachusetts, including why heavy material is priced by weight and a long carry costs more than the same load by the door.
Pool Table Removal FAQs
Do I need to take any of it apart or line up help before you get here?
No, and if you have already started, you can leave the rest to us. Every part of the breakdown is ours: the felt off the slate, the rails off the frame, the slate out in sections one at a time, then the frame and the legs. A table half apart with the rails stacked against the wall and the bolts in a coffee cup takes us longer than a table nobody has touched, because loose parts need hands that should be on the slate. You do not need a second person either. What actually helps is the path out: clear whatever is stacked on the basement stairs, prop the bulkhead or the storm door open, and tell us when you book if the stairway has a turn in it, because a turn changes how many of us come.
How does a pool table come out of a finished basement?
It comes out in pieces and in order, and none of them go up those stairs together. The felt comes off first so the slate is bare, then the rails and the pockets unbolt from the frame, then the slate comes out in sections, one section at a time and one trip at a time. Only after the slate is out does the frame get touched, and the legs come off it last. That order is why the doorway width matters more than the room does: what has to clear your narrowest door is a slate section on its edge, not a pool table. If the stairway turns, say so when you call. A straight run of stairs and a run with a landing in the middle are not the same job, and we would rather bring an extra pair of hands than come up short.
How much does pool table removal cost?
A pool table is heavy for the space it takes up, and that is the part that moves the number. Volume work runs $70 to $100 per cubic yard against a truck that holds 20 cubic yards, with a $120 minimum, and closer to $70 when a load is light and easy to reach. A table is the opposite of that on both counts, so the weight and the basement carry push it away from the easy end of the range rather than toward it. I am not going to print a figure for the table itself, because the table is not what decides it: weight and access are. Send the two photos, the table and the path out, and you get a number before anyone drives over, then we confirm it in person before we start, and that is the number you pay. The pricing page has the rest of the numbers.
Can you move the table to my new place instead of hauling it?
What we do is take the table apart and haul it away, and we do all of that ourselves. Moving it to a new address is a different job: we don't carry it to the new place, set it back up or re-level the slate, so that work belongs to a pool table mover rather than to us, and I'd rather say that now than on the day. It's the same line we hold on a piano. The other thing worth saying plainly: if the table is going for good, the frame and the slate leave on our truck, and I won't promise it gets donated or recycled because we have no outlet for one. If the table is part of a bigger clearout, tell me when you call and we'll quote the basement cleanout or the whole estate cleanout on one visit instead of coming out twice.
Our Mission Beyond the Job
We keep as much out of landfills as we can. We sort through every truckload, and anything still usable that a charity will take goes for donation first, mostly to Big Blue Bargains in Swampscott, More Than Words in Boston and The Salvation Army.
What cannot be donated gets recycled wherever a facility will take it, and whatever is left goes to the disposal facilities we use.
