					We had the team at lakeshore boat top design, build and install a cover for a scissor lift we have. They did a great job. This cover really helps us protect our investment while outside in the Michigan elements.

					Had a color match issue with our window shade, but they quickly fixed it and provided great customer service. We have used them for new glass pieces, floor mats, and dash covers, all turned out great! I would recommend this place for any of your boat canvas needs!

					Lake shore completed a full campus enclosure for my formula and I couldn’t be happier. Not a wrinkle in sight and crystal clear. Their boat dock sure made life easy to drop the boat off and come back when it’s finished. Highly recommend A+

					Best top I’ve ever had for a boat!. Very fair price, top quality materials and craftsmanship. This was a totally custom top job and they clearly know what they are doing beyond anything I could think of myself. Highly recommend! My top is on a 231 Sportsmen Heritage.

					Rob & his team do incredible work! I had them re-upolster boat seats, and replace a full cover that was 100 times better than the original manufacturer provided cover. I will never use another canvas shop, they are amazing.
