You definantly want someone who is used to and familiar with pool tables, preferably older ones. A lot of damage can be done to a pool table by someone who isn't familiar with them. For example, how many times have you seen some fool pick up the end or corner of a pool table, not a 7 foot coin table, slthough it damages them too, but a regulation 9 footer, or even an 8 footer? What they have done is probably chipped and/or weakened the seam where the slates butt together (big tables have three pieces of slate), or had four guys pick up each corner to move one, damage can be done to the slated in this case as well. My point is this --get a pro. Call a couple of the better pool rooms in the area and ask the owner, not the counter help, who sets up and recovers their tables then call those folks for referrals. I know about these things, having refinished and restored furniture, pool tables and pianos for the last 30 years and been in the pool room business along with that for the last 5. You could call Brady Behrman at QMasters in Virginia Beach/Chesapeake, Va. He is a great guy and if he gives you a recommendation it will be right on.
