Frequently Asked Questions
What does "Custom Canvas" mean?
We do not work off of premade patterns or layouts. All our products are custom fit to
your unique vessel. This is a multistep process: we come to your boat to measure and pattern,
return to our shop where we create the product from the pattern and then return to your vessel
for final fit and installation. Even between vessels of the same make there is enough variance
that premade patterns are not one size fits all. That is the difference in the quality and fit of
custom canvas.
What are your service areas?
Seattle, Lake Washington, Mercer Island, Des Moines, Tukwila, Bellevue, Tacoma, Burien, Rainier Beach, Kent, SeaTac, Ballard, Fremont, Alki and West Seattle, South Park, Renton, Harbor Island, Lake Union, South Seattle and more. We are always happy to make arrangements to bring your vessel to our guest moorage at South Park Marina if you are currently located outside our normal service area.
Do you do repairs?
Yes, on a case by case basis. The determining factors are generally the age and
condition of the canvas. If the material is too old and brittle to take new seams or clear vinyl we
will be happy to work up a free estimate for the cost of a new replacement. We also require that
any canvas brought to our shop for repairs be in clean condition as to not contaminate our
shop and future projects.
What products do you use?
We use high quality materials that are the leading standards in the industry including Sunbrella™ material and binding, Strataglass™ Clear Vinyls and UV resistant thread with premium stainless steel hardware. Combined all these offer high performance for marine applications meant to last for years to come.
Do you have any discounts?
We offer a 5% discount to any vessel that comes to our yard on a trailer or makes use
of the guest moorage available here at South Park Marina where our shop is located.
Do you offer canvas cleaning services?
We do not offer canvas cleaning services. We recommend reaching out to quality yacht
detailing outfits that are familiar with the cleaning needs of Sunbrella™ and Clear Vinyl materials.
Do you do marine upholstery?
We partner with our sister business, Burien Upholstery, for all marine upholstery
applications and would be happy to get an estimate put together for your project.
Do you work on houses/decks/restaurants/other projects?
Yes, we have worked on a wide variety of projects from food truck awnings, privacy
screening for decks, enclosures for outdoor seating at restaurants and even mobility slings for
folks who need assistance transferring out of bed to a wheelchair. We are always happy to talk
about custom projects and how to build them.
Do you build Stanchions and railings?
No. We build the frames and bows for boat tops and dodgers. We recommend Mark at
Northwest Railmakers for any custom railings.
