Who does the nicest job with boat covers and canvas?

The Canvas Guys in Gilford do very good work. They may not be back from Florida yet.

I had them do a small front cover for me last fall. Nice work, very reasonable price, and done reasonably fast. Easy to work with, too.

Pretty much, you have to do good work at a fair price to stay in business. I've had work done by various vendors. I liked Irwin Marine and the Canvas Guys best. The choice then came down to scheduling and availability.
Most canvas work requires the boat be in their yard, or nearby, for best fit. That's OK if you're on a trailer. Can you give up the boat for the time they need it? If no trailer, your choices may be limited to who will come to your dock or marina. That extra travel time may affect the cost. You'll have to ask.
