Replacing pool table felt is very definitely a matter of "you get what you pay for". The price of pool table cloth can range from $90 to $400. The labor price to re-surface and cover the play area and the rails is typically in the $250-$300 range. So, the total price will be $350 to $700 depending upon the size, the quality of the cloth, and the experience of the installer.
For the typical home player, the surface won't need replacing for more than 10 years. However, how long the flet lasts is simply a matter of how much it is played on and the type of play. Jump shots crush the felt and it doesn't fully recover, with each jump shot decreasing the lifespan slightly. And trick shots can destroy the felt in a matter of a single session. But under normal play, the chalk residue, which is essentially sandpaper, is responsible for most wear, and is simply a matter of the number of shots made. Keep the table covered when not in use, keep it clean, and it will last a very long time.

Why does pool table felt shed fibers?
Friction. The movement of the rolling pool balls does no damage to the pool felt. However, the pool balls accumulate pool chalk that is very abrasive. The pool chalk accumulated on the balls and dropping on to the felt both result in tearing of the felt fibers as balls are struck or slide on the table. Occasionally balls bounce or are jumped on the table, resulting in even more damage. Damaged felt is a part of playing pool.
