Marine Canvas Services in Gibraltar, MI
Your boat’s canvas is its first line of defense against the elements. Whether it’s a bimini top taking the summer sun full-force or a winter storage cover keeping the cold and moisture out, quality marine canvas makes a real difference in how long your boat stays in top shape.
At Charley’s Marine Canvas & Upholstery LLC in Gibraltar, MI, we provide comprehensive marine canvas services for powerboats, pontoons, fishing boats, and cruisers throughout the Downriver area and beyond. From measuring to final installation, every job is handled with precision and care.
Full-Service Marine Canvas in Gibraltar — What We Offer
We handle every phase of marine canvas work in-house. That means you deal with one team from quote to completion, and we’re accountable for the result.
Canvas Fabrication
New canvas built to your boat’s exact specifications. We measure your frame, pattern the fabric, and sew everything to fit right. No gaps, no billowing, no premature wear at the seam lines.
- Bimini tops (2-bow, 3-bow, 4-bow)
- Full and partial enclosures
- Console covers and helm covers
- Custom T-top covers and side curtains
- Pontoon furniture covers and full boat covers
Canvas Repair
Not every problem needs a full replacement. Our marine canvas repair service addresses:
- Torn or fraying seams
- Zipper replacement (plastic and metal)
- Snap and fastener replacement
- UV-degraded panel replacement
- Mildew damage and canvas cleaning prep
- Frame sleeve repair and reinforcement
Canvas Restoration
Have an older boat with canvas that’s seen better days but still has good bones? We can restore canvas work that others might tell you to scrap. If the frame is intact and the fabric can be matched, we can often save you significant money compared to a full replacement.
Why Gibraltar Boaters Trust Our Marine Canvas Services
Gibraltar sits at the tip of Wayne County along the Lake Erie shoreline. Boaters here face real-world conditions: hot summers, cold snaps, hard rain, and everything the Detroit River throws at a hull. We’ve worked in this environment and know what marine canvas materials and construction methods actually hold up here.
We’re not a big-box marine retailer. We’re a specialty shop that focuses entirely on canvas and upholstery. That focus means better craftsmanship, faster problem-solving, and results that last longer.
