I had the Canvas Works create a stack-pak main cover and a jib sock for my sailboat. The work is exceptional and the service is outstanding. I would give 6 stars. Their team provided "Bentley" workmanship on the covers. I recommend them highly.

Too bad they're the behemoth left standing in Marin after smaller local Sausalito shops closed. The predecessors Starbuck and Giannola were truly part of the local Sausalito waterfront community. These guys are not. Not boat people. Not Sausalito people. Not sewing experts (speaking for the owners, not the staff. But the owners' lack of expertise creates design problems). Our full boat cover got so many tears from lack of reinforcement in obvious places to reinforce, and the design just didn't make a lot of sense. We've been much happier with work done at other shops.

We had a large odd-shaped window that needed a canvas covering. Mike was great. He came up with a plan for a pulley system to lower the canvas, and he did an admirable job in a timely matter. Highly recommend The Canvas Works team.

I have worked with the Canvas Works team on several projects on my boat. The work they have done has always been top notch and really adds to over all look of my boat. Thanks again for another great project.

The entire staff is skilled, knowledgeable, and so helpful. Our canvas cockpit enclosure has been working great, is easy to put up, and has held up to some strong winds this winter. Makes our cockpit into a cozy room on sunny cold days. Highly recommend this company!

We took our 10 year old outdoor cushions over to Canvas Works for recovering. We couldn’t have been happier with their service and the results. Amazing quality on every detail. And the coolest location ever.

Five stars across the board! The Canvas Works took on a very challenging project for my husband and me. We did a total redesign of our cockpit enclosure. They were fantastic, and we love our new outdoor living room! We're heading over to them next week for a few new projects. Don't hesitate to call them!

If you shopped around you know how expensive it is to replace the vinyl on your boat enclosures. After checking with various shops, ended up picking The Canvas Works. They replaced the vinyl on our front panels last year and this year we had both side panels redone. Material used was 40 mil crystal clear and the fronts have held up well in a year. They were able to use our existing frames, having to replace the "U" zippers and some of the panel zippers. Fit and finish was excellent and we were able to install them on their original fasteners. We shipped the panels to them via UPS and picked them up in person to avoid damage from shipment. Couldn't be more pleased with their work and craftsmanship. Turn around time was very quick also. Highly recommended.

With the Thanksgiving holiday approaching after reaching out to the local canvass shops here on the Oakland Estuary side none of them could produce a cover until the start of next year. I decided to reach out to Sausalito Canvas Works across the bay. Chris and his staff were immediately accommodating. After sailing over for measurements they, promised and delivered a beautiful custom set of Main Sail Cover and Jib Sail bag in under two weeks! The color was absolutely stunningly beautiful and matched the trim to our boat perfectly. I would highly recommend The Canvas Works for any of your sailboat needs and give them a big "10"To Chris, Emily and their entire staff, Thank you so very much for your excellent service!!!!Best!

Everything started out great. Michael was very responsive, better than most of the canvas shops I was working with to obtain quotes. His pricing is significantly higher, but I figured I'd be getting a superior product. I am doing the entire canvas on a 48' boat, not an inexpensive or small job. So I paid the deposit (in early June 2020) and then was told they couldn't schedule me until mid July. That's fine but we're cruising that time of year, so it would need to be end of September. I asked Michael if he could complete the windshield portion which he did before we left, and I was grateful for that. He confirmed I was on the calendar for this time, and we were schedule for end of September, close to months away. Late August rolls around and I email to confirm the appointment. I hear nothing. I then have to follow up with Chris, another staff member over there. He at least responds, but says they'll get back to me. A week goes by and I finally hear back that they can't schedule me until the last week of November because of Covid. First of all COVID was in full swing in June when I schedule and paid the deposit. Second, this was already scheduled with 4 months lead time - needing another 2 is just ridiculous. Worst still, the owner was unapologetic and uncaring that he had broken our agreement - it must be nice to be in a position to tell clients willing and able to write a 15k check to pound sand. To add to it, in receiving a refund I discovered that this shop was attempting to charge 12.7% for sales tax. This was due to a "QuickBooks error" Worst of all, the covers themselves are not fantastic (especially given the price) the fit loosely and flop in the wind. I figured I'd get this addressed when I return in late September, but now that's not happening. I'd strongly recommend you avoid this shop. Pretty much the only good thing I can say is that they sent me my deposit back quickly.

Ridiculously helpful and lovely people, very fair pricing and very fast for custom work. We have hired them twice and will do so again. I have recommended to many of my (difficult) friends. They are excellent.
