Our goal is to provide quality canvas solutions by utilizing state of the art technology on time and within our customer’s budget.

Quality Canvas Solutions

Your boat’s canvas is an investment that not only makes it look beautiful but also protects it from the elements. By neglecting your boat canvas top or cover, issues can compound and multiply causing more problems well beyond the canvas itself. At Chicago Marine Canvas, we’ll listen to you and make the best recommendation suited to your needs.

No boat is the same and owners use their boats in different ways. One owner of a Sea Ray Sundancer might require a heavy-duty material such as Stamoid for a full enclosure to protect their family on overnight trips. Another might only visit the harbor on sunny days and only require a mooring cover.

This hands-on consultative approach is delivered no matter how small or large your boat top or boat cover project may be. Please explore our wide range of service for all types of boat canvas tops, boat covers and canvas repairs.

Utilizing State of the Art Technology

Chicago Marine Canvas will design your boat canvas top, enclosure or cover using state of the art technology. We’ll measure your boat using our 3D portable measurement solution to obtain readings within 0.05″ and then design your boat cover or top within a CAD (Computer-Aided Design) system.

This allows us to send drafts to our customers for approval and allows for easy adjustments pre-fabrication. Want a window bigger? Or smaller? We can make all of these adjustments, and the end results is a canvas you love that fits perfectly the first time!

We have used this process for full enclosures, cockpit covers, framing upholstery (new and reupholster), eisenglass window replacement, carpeting and much more. Please view some recent projects we’ve worked on to see the results.

Oh, and since we don’t need to use your old canvas as a template you can continue to use it until your new and beautiful canvas cover or top arrives!

On Time

We know we’re in the mid-west, summer’s too short and you don’t have weeks to wait for a new boat top or boat cover.

When utilizing our 3D portable measuring solution with CAD, the time from concept to finished product is faster than ever before. When discussing your project, we’ll give you an honest and accurate estimate of the time needed to give you a quality marine canvas solution.

Speed and accuracy in marine canvas tops and covers is what we deliver.

Within Your Budget

Chicago Marine Canvas works on boats from 10′ to over 100′ with a variety of budgets and project needs. When consulting with our customers we review a variety of options available within the project including different design ideas to fit the budget and requirements of the project.

We give detailed estimates for all projects and discuss potential areas of concern before we start any work. The only surprise will be when you see how gorgeous your boat or yacht will look!
