Repair Services

If your boat cover has a tear, loose seams or a wear spot, but your fabric is still in decent shape - we can fix it for you!

Whether it got torn when you caught it on the corner of your dock or trailer, the mice got to it while you had it in storage, or it sat too close to the fire and hot embers got to it - we've seen it all. 

Boat covers are your first line of protection when attempting to keep your interior clean and dry and most importantly, to keep your upholstery vinyl in good condition. Making your cover useable is a good investment into the life of your watercraft - or whatever else it is that you're covering. 

Our Techs are also able to complete an exhaustive list of repairs to other items that your sewing machine at home simply cannot handle. From tents to awnings, Biminis to storage boots, porch curtains to ice fishing shelters, hunting blinds to ATV doors and dock lift canopies - if it is heavy fabric and it needs to be sewn, we can probably sew it!  Keep in mind that items on a frame will most likely require disassembly to fit under a sewing machine. If you have questions, feel free to text or email a photo and we can tell you if and how your item can be repaired. 

 

Please be advised that during the summer months, any repair - no mater how small - may take up to 4 weeks to complete and we must have your item here at the shop to put it into the queue.  Feel free to call to find out what the current expected wait time is for repairs before you come in.

For average sized items (boat covers and smaller) the shop rate is $65/hr. A good way to save some money is to remove any hardware or take the item off of the framework it is on, yourself. Any time our techs have to spend on disassembly and reassembly of frames is time you will be billed for. Some things we can disassemble, others we cannot. To remove any doubt it often saves a lot of time (and therefore money) to bring your item to us already removed from it's frame.

For any repair, fabrication or modification that requires a bay in our indoor shop, and for vinyl work, the shop rate is $90/hr.  Our operation is limited to 3 bays for large items and these are projects that involve more than 1 technician. Vinyl work requires a large indoor storage space for pieces, both before and after completion, which carries a maintenance cost.

 

For larger, heavier items such as dock lift canopies, the shop rate is $125/hr.  These items require at least 2 people present during the repair and an even bigger, heavier industrial machine than our every day machines.

PLEASE NOTE:

Items brought in for repair should be as clean as possible - and dry.  For dock lift canopies, we require that they are also folded (space being the issue with those - It does not have to be perfect, just not a giant heap of fabric!)  We simply do not have the time or space to spread your items out to clean and/or dry before repair work is completed.  

We also cannot accept items for repair that have adhesive of any kind, including duct tape, over the area that will be sewn on.  We cannot risk damage to our machines, which can happen with dirty, wet and/or sticky items.
