Boat canvas repairs

Covers that are full of Dust and Dirt may need washed or cleaned before sewing can be done.
Instructions for washing are on the Cover Care page

 
Canvas Shop Labor Rate                    $20.00 minimum charge$ 60.00 hour

Re-stitching is a common repair that extends the life of your cover and it's money wisely spent.
(as long as the fabric is not rotten and it fits the boat.)

Every seam on the cover is run through the sewing machine giving it 'new' thread. The old thread is still there, but a new lock stitch is also in place extending the thread life for another 6 to 10 years. Many factory and custom covers have thread that only lasts 3 to 5 years. The reinforcing pads are re-stitched, holes are fixed and snaps replaced where needed.
Grommets, rope, straps and excessive damage is extra(per hour plus materials)

Mooring, Storage, Cockpit, Bow, Aft, Fender and Over-the-Road covers.
also:  Jet Skis,  Paddle boats  &  Pontoon Seat covers

We use High Quality Materials and Common Sense Engineering for Durability and Longevity.

To get the length of your cover, measure the length to be covered.
   Prices based on "straight line measurement"
   I get a lot of questions on this, Do not measure UP and Over, just straight.

When you bring the boat to have your cover done, I will go over it with you.
You will know the exact cost, how your cover will be engineered, what the cover will look like, how to take care of the fabric, the warranty, and a personal guarantee as a boat owner myself.

This is a Custom canvas shop, all needed options are included except poles ($15 ea. with new cover)and plastic buckles. You probably already have poles that can be used with your new cover.

price includes :
Sunbrella (52 standard colors to pick from), Harbor Time, Dixson, Top Gun (see add on's below), Light-weight Stamoid (see add on's below) and others (5 year warranty fabrics).  * Snaps, Tie Downs or Draw Cord.  * Cleat openings, or Cleat Slots with Velcro.  * soft Vents, if needed or requested.  * 18.9 pound test polymaticUVR thread.  * Double lock stitched seams.  * Five layer edging.  * Re-enforcement padding where needed.  * Drop Flaps over gates on your pontoon or deck boat cover.  * Slots for Bimini Top or other equipment, and whatever else your boat needs.

Add-on's, fabric upgrades, custom stripes and extra's for covers are at the end of the boat cover section.

warranty for boat covers:   5 year warranty on fabrics and 3 years free repairs and adjustments
warranty for winter storage covers:   5 year warranty on fabrics and 3 years free repairs and adjustments

You are welcome to bring your cover to the shop for any problems you may have in the future.

Your Pontoon Boat will look very well dressed wearing Custom Furniture Covers by Lakeside Canvas
They really do fit perfect.   With furniture covers you can be sitting in the Captains Chair turning the key in 10 seconds... pop the console cover, the captains chair cover, and your off...
No mooring cover to wrestle with for a boat ride, then have to put it back on.. This is a better way !

Pontoon Curtains -or- Enclosures  -- A 'Luxury' add-on for your pontoon boat

If you want cheap protection from the weather, buy a rain coat and a hat.

My prices and quality easily beat OEM canvas and canvas made by shops around Buckeye Lake.
Most of the price is labor or fabrication time.


A quality enclosure provides many years of protection from the elements when you need it.
HOW LONG WILL IT LAST ?
If you set it up only when you need it, it will last 15 years or more.
If you leave it set up every day(during the summer), it will last almost as long as a boat cover(5 to 7 years).
If you leave it set up all winter(outside), it will last 2 to 5 years. But you would never do that.

Plan on 2~3 weeks from the day work is started on your boat to fabricate your enclosure.

price includes : Sunbrella, Harbor Time, Dixson, Top Gun, and Sport topping (5 year warranty fabrics). Clear double polished windows. Fiberglass screens. Number 10 ykk marine grade zippers. Black or White 18.9 Pound test PolymaticUVR thread. includes installation.

If you would like to use a lite weight 6.5 oz fabric that has a 3 year warranty, deduct $100.00 from the total price. The 6.5 oz fabric is nice material and works great, but it will not last if the enclosure is used every day for storage or mooring.
 

Please Note: about Imported Fabrics
If you have a new or late model boat, your top may be made from Imported Fabric that we can not match. We have seen Yamaha jet boats, Dowco Tops, Dowco Covers and others using off-brand fabrics.
We can only assume these fabrics have no warranty.


Note about the old or existing top:
If you are getting an enclosure, I recommend having a new top made to go with the new enclosure. The reason for this is because the old top has years of use already and most factory made tops do not come down on the sides as far as they should. This makes the side curtain harder to put up and take down. I have also seen that the front and back flap is either to tight or not enough fabric to allow putting the curtains up easily. Your old top can be altered to add fabric where it is needed, but why patch an old top when you are spending the money to do this the right way.

Enclosure curtains can be made many different ways to suit your needs.
The price list is based on adding features to each curtain.
The first price is the basic curtain.
Then add the options to that price.


Add zippers to your top and/or alterations to your top  
Add 4 zippers to existing top to hold your enclosure curtains(no alterations)$135
Alterations to existing top to hold your enclosure curtains(includes zippers)$235
Alterations to existing top if fabric has to be ordered(includes zippers)$275

Boat Upholstery, Boat seat Rebuilding   and   Marine Carpet

No upholstery jobs in the 'springtime' since boat covers consume the schedual.
Upholstery work is acepted from July 1st to Febuary 1st.

 This section is different as it contains Estimated, Approximate, or 'Ballpark' prices. .

With 20 years experience doing marine upholstery and boat seat rebuilding, it can be done.
Have a look in the photo gallery for plenty of examples.

When it comes to marine vinyl, doing the whole boat is highly recommended.
Piecing a boat together one seat at a time cost more in the long run and the colors will not match.
Most good quality marine vinyl has 1000 hour Ultraviolet resistance.
If one seat has problems, the rest of the upholstery will have the same problems soon enough.
All New Upholstery using top quality G&T Marine Vinyl will completely solve the problem for many years to come.


We offer Upholstery, Seat rebuilding, Marine Carpet, and Stereo installation
* Boat Upholstery: For marine vinyl design, fabrication and assembly.
* Boat Seat Rebuilding: For foam and structural problems with your seats or panels. Additional charges apply.
* Professional stereo, amplifier, and speaker installation with complete upholstery.

Stereo Equipment must be provided when upholstery work is started, not after it's all done.

Please Note:
* Optional equipment to be installed must be supplied when job is started.
* Upholstery requires 2/3 payment when dropped off at the shop for work to proceed.
* Boats that have the Upholstery disassembled have additional charges applied.

This NEW price list for UPHOLSTERY is being added by boaters request.

There are many variables in upholstery, these prices should give you a good idea of the cost.

Notes from the dam canvas man Dave about prices and stuff.

I hope this price list has helped you find the information you need.
Boats have so many variables to consider, a complete price list is difficult.
As a result this page is always a work in progress.

Please contact the shop with any questions you may have.

Prices may seem high to you and I agree. You can thank the corporate controlled Government.
If you think my price is too high, your boat may not work with this price list.
Gennerally, if my price is too high, try another shop to get your work done, you might find a cheaper place.. let me know so I can post it here...

Most shops in Ohio have higher prices than I do and the average was 2 to 4 hundred more on a pontoon cover. I did find a few shops in Ohio that were less. One was at Indian Lake, but they were using a cheaper fabric than sunbrella. So they might be the same or more using sunbrella. All my prices are based on the sunbrella price model as it seems to be the best market indicator and an average priced fabric with great durability.

Some people have called me asking if the prices were right and if the labor was added on to the price. I see where they are coming from and I went through that when I started,, everyone was doing the stuff for nothing (20' pontoon sunbrella covers $350)while inflation took them all out of business

Today, my prices are figured to include:

  1. fabric invoice, cost of material and shipping.
  2. shop supplies, snaps, thread, and trimmings.
  3. percentage of all utilities and property taxes since I work at a residence.
  4. plus my time. with my background, it should be 35 an hour or more. But it's far from it.
  5. This web site is the cheapest monthly bill the shop has at $8 bucks a month.


That brings up the question,,
Why the hell do i bother with all this crap for not much money?

  • I like boats.
  • I'm a detail freak.
  • I like to work at home.
  • It's clean work.
      Before the canvas shop, I was driving 14 hours a day or tearing apart semi trucks, dump trucks, bulldozers, backhoes, forklifts -greasy crap-
  • It's neat to work by the water.
  • I don't have to tell the boss to go to hell, and quit, to put him in a bad spot with no little worker to step on.
  • I never have to worry about getting a raise, dosen't exist.
  • I can come in late every day, if i want.
  • I can work as many hours as I want without someone dictating to me what I can or can't do.
  • I don't have to fill out a log book to document my hours and location. It's none of their dam business.
  • I no longer have to deal with all those government regulations.

-- It's most certainly not for the money --- Many people would not survive on my HUGE income.

IF you try to Jew me down,
I will point you to the door immediately, I have sent many hagglers to the door..........
If you start that out-the-door, tax-n-title crap, just leave me alone and go CAR shopping. ...I was in car sales many years ago...
I am happy to explain a price and how it adds up.
I might go down in price if there is an actual "boat related" reason for doing so.

~~ Do-It-Your-selfers and Bargan Shoppers ~~
I am not against anyone that wants to get things done for very little money,, I know that routine all too well.
If that is the case with you, then you must do the work yourself,, It has been that way for 40 years with me.
I do all my own work on everything,,, ecept machine-shop / metal-shop stuff, when i don't have the equipment.

Have I ever done things for free on the boat while in my expert care?
YES,
practically every boat gets some kind of mechanically related TLC.
What else would you expect from a 'Master Mechanic'.
