Get Your Sprayhood or Boat Cover Clean and Well-Maintained Again
Exposed to wind, rain, moisture, and dirt, a sprayhood, cockpit cover, or boat cover has to endure a lot. Algae, dirt, and the elements seep into the fabric, and over time, its water-repellent properties also diminish.
Many water sports enthusiasts are unaware that a sprayhood, boat cover, cockpit cover, convertible top, canopy, or other canvas product can be professionally cleaned and re-waterproofed.
We'll have your roof professionally cleaned and treated. The windows are also carefully cleaned and polished during this process.
This will make your awning look neat and clean again, and restore the fabric's dirt- and water-repellent properties. Proper maintenance also helps extend the life of your awning.
Suitable for, among other things:
- hull covers and sprayhoods
- canopy tents and rear tents
- convertible tops
- biminis
- hoods and maindrops
- covering sleeves
- Other canvas products
WE LOOK BEYOND JUST LAUNDRY
While your hood is here with us, we can check it right away for wear and damage.
Are the seams worn out? Is a zipper broken? Are the windows dull, torn, or discolored? In many cases, we can repair these issues.
Among other things, we can:
- Replacing the windows of sprayhoods and boat covers
- restitch the seams
- Replace zippers
- Repairing tears and damage
- Replace fasteners and clips
- Repair fortifications
- make minor adjustments
- Completely refurbish older hoods
Not everything has to be new. With proper maintenance, an existing hood can often last for years.

Replacing the Windows of Your Sprayhood or Boat Cover
Dull, scratched, cracked, or discolored windows do not necessarily mean that the entire canopy needs to be replaced.
In many cases, we can simply replace the window film. Your existing canopy will remain intact and look much fresher again.
Here, too, we immediately check the stitching, the zippers, and the condition of the fabric.
Your sails deserve maintenance, too
Sails can also be professionally washed and inspected.
Dirt, green deposits, salt, and weather conditions are not only unsightly, but can also affect the material and finish over time.
We can, among other things:
- professional car wash
- treat or coat as needed
- check for wear and tear
- repairing seams
- repair damage
- Replace hinges and hardware
- Replacing UV Strips
- Repairing the rear and bottom sections
- Completely refurbish where necessary
Timely maintenance prevents minor damage from getting worse and can significantly extend the life of your sail.
Ready for the new boating season
When your boat's cover or sail is off is the perfect time to have it washed, inspected, and maintained.
That way, you won't find out on the first nice day of the season that a zipper is broken, the seams are coming apart, or the hood is leaking.
Maintenance now. Sailing right away later.
