Try canvasbychris(at)gmail.com

I have just commissioned him to re-do all the interior and exterior cushions on my sailboat/ He also gave me a good quote on a full enclosure for my Bimini.

If you would like his number drop me a PM and I will send it off to you.

My boats in Jupiter btw so he services WPB all the way to Lauderdale I believe with his team.

Best Regards

Just an update to this

I retract my recommendation - unfortunately it seems this is another 'outfit' that don't deliver anything but failed promises.

I recommended them to a friend and its come back to bite me - the owner chris took the money but failed to deliver 100% - last time I recommend anyone again! He will not answer calls and my friend is with a poor t-top and no bag which was paid for.

Avoid Chris Morin / Canvas by chris

Re: South Florida Canvas Referral Needed

I got burned by Chris Morin. His company is Canvas by Chris and he works in south Florida. I paid him in full to make me a bimini top, helm cover and re-cover two helm chairs. He took my helm chairs and won't even return them! In fact he advertises on craigslist and has a pic of one of my chairs to showcase his work!! I paid him more than $1400.00 and have received nothing but excuses. This guy is bad news and I wish I had read the alert on this forum before I hired him. You are better off getting sunburned because you don't have a bimini top than getting burned by this individual. http://www.co.palm-beach.fl.us/pubsa...rfProductSeq=0

Find a local Amish crafter, May take him 3 months, but it will be done well.
