Yacht Upholstery & Canvas in Illinois
Browsing all marine service providers in Illinois. We're still tagging shops by service type — for now, listings below cover the full Illinois marine industry.
A good marine canvas shop builds biminis, dodgers, full enclosures, and custom covers; an upholstery shop reupholsters cockpit cushions, salon furniture, and dashboards. Many yards have one shop that does both. Marine-grade fabrics (Sunbrella, Stamoid, Phifertex) and UV-resistant thread make a huge difference in lifespan.
