Lake Shore Boat Top really came through for us with our center cockpit enclosure. From the early design work we did through the framework and final installation, Rob and his entire team were extremely accommodating, knowledgeable, and always communicating throughout the process.

Want to give a big shout out to the Lake Shore Boat Top crew. Just had a cockpit cover done by them, and couldn't be happier with it. The craftsmanship and quality are second to none. This is our second cover done by them for 2 different boats, I wouldn't have anyone else do canvas work for me. Great job, my girlfriend and I love it!

We’ve used Lake Shore several times now and we’ve been beyond pleased every time. Their quality and attention to detail is top notch and their customer service is the best. Rob and his staff communicate and provide updates regularly thought out the project and they meet or exceed their completion date. Our most recent purchase was bow pads for our boat and they have surpassed our expectations - one of our best purchases yet. The great staff at Lake Shore traveled over an hour, two days in a row, to where our boat was in winter storage to install these pads so they would be done before we launched. Do not hesitate to use these folks - they are the best.

Many Thanks to Rob and his team of Professionals at Lake Shore Boat Top. He was able to take a recently purchased new used 2016 350 Sundancer and provide a new camper top, dock cover and carpeting that all makes the boat look better than some of the New Sea Rays coming off the factory lines. Lakeshore Boat Top is the place to go on Lake Saint Clair for boat canvas projects. Jeff

What a Great place. We walked in today with 3 request for our boat. Rob was finishing up with a customer but Jessica with a very warm smile ask how she could help. My first request was a little odd but she listened and came up with a great solution for us. Jamie had two more request and she explained what we currently had and how they could fix without rebuilding the whole windshield. Another customer walked in and Bob called him by name and the gentleman was very happy with their work and has been using them for years. Simple fix explained by Rob. Will continue to use their service. Thanks

I had a fairly specialized back-country back pack for skiing that had a broken zipper. It was out of warranty and was something that my local alterations shop could not handle due to the thickness of the material and difficulty sewing it. I thought of a canvas repair shop, and I’m glad I tried Lake Shore. They were friendly, interested, and willing to undertake the unique request. They performed a fantastic repair! If I still had a boat, I would absolutely have them do the canvas work.

From start to finish, Lake Shore Boat Top was outstanding. Everyone we dealt with was first class, with a special shout out to Rob, Tess, and Lauren. The craftsmanship of our new top is the best we've experienced, and LSBT went above and beyond to add little details that make the top easier to take off and put back up (much appreciated!). We couldn't be happier and will be contacting LSBT in the future for any canvas and flooring needs. Thank you Rob and team!!

Our new to us Sundancer was in desperate need of a new design for the dated old canvas top. We met with Rob in October to discuss the multitude of choices. We decided on a full camper style top to maximize the sitting area in the cockpit. We are spending the entire summer exploring the Great Lakes and 🇨🇦. Rob and his team were over the top helpful every step 0f the way. We splashed on June 7th and are near Buffalo NY and we are in awe of how the new top has transformed the cockpit into a screened in porch. Lake Shore boat top is the best period, don’t waste your time or money chasing other companies with deadlines, over budget, no return calls. 1000% am a customer for life of Rob and Lake Shore Boat top.. Thank You

Rob and the team simply did an outstanding job on our boat. it was challenging in that there was heavy plexiglass, detailed cutouts and shapes, and screen shading. The work is simply impeccable with form fitting layouts, great stitching, and premium materials. They kept us up-to-date with scheduling given the challenging Covid demands. We have had 5 different boaters comment on how good their work turned out - thanks LSBTC!

Lakeshore Boat Top is outstanding. I had my whole boat reupholstered over the winter. Long story short, when I took the boat out in the spring I learned that one of my seats had been damaged from some additional work that I had done while it was in storage. Rob and Dawn took care of it for me. No questions asked. My seat was fixed the next day. This is an excellent example of how customer service should be handled. It was very refreshing. On a side note, Rob was also able to make me a new canvas roof for my daughters swing set. They go above and beyond. Thank you all for a great experience.

I’ve owned many boats over the years so I’ve needed the upholstery and vinyl to done on occasion . Never have I experienced the level of materials or craftsmanship that Lake Shore Boat Top brought to the table . They reupholstered my 10 year old Pursuit . The result surpassed the factory install. 5 stars for these folks .

Today I had the pleasure of using Lake Shore Boat Top Inc. for a zipper fix on my.... travel stroller bag. That's right, not anything to do with a boat. I needed it for the next day and was in distress when I went to pull it out of storage and noticed that the zipper had broken. I took a gamble and called up Lake Shore Boat Top Inc. to see if they could help. The lady on the phone was very sweet and told me to bring it in and if they could fix it, they would. Upon entering each employee was very professional and kind. They fixed my zipper and said my baby was cute, so 5 Stars for sure!

We had the honor of working with Rob and crew on our Tiara 3500 Express for an entire new canvas package. The talent, workmanship and professionalism exceeded our expectations and is top notch! From the first initial contact with Rob, we were very impressed with the personal attention through every step of the project. I’ve dealt with other canvas companies in the past on other boats and will NEVER recommend anybody but Rob and his team. Not only do they do canvas, but they do marine flooring and marine upholstery. The only downfall for us is now we have to wait until Spring 2021 to fully enjoy! You will NOT be disappointed when you hire this company.

If you're looking for a quick or cheap canvas job, then this might not be your place. But if you're looking for a high quality job with outstanding service, especially after the job is done, this is the place. They listen to what you want done and will try to accommodate your preferences instead of forcing you into cookie cutter jobs. I got ripped off by another fly by night shop and paid dearly for going the cheap route, based on word of mouth reviews. I would have saved money if I had just come here first. This is a first rate business that's run like a normal retailer - they actually take.credit cards unlike many of these shoddy marine shops, and they'll work with you on the initial deposit. Some people who are impatient might complain about the turn around but canvas usually has to be custom made so either plan accordingly or try to get your work done during the off-season. I'm very happy with the work done and now I smile when I see how great my boat looks.
