Stay away. Spring of 2025 I contacted Juan to redo my canvas boat cover, replace the canvas on my bimini and replace my carpet. I told him I needed everything done in a month before I take the boat to the lake for the season. He was a no-show for our first appointment to measure everything at my storage yard with no call while I missed a couple hours of work that morning. After he finally measured at a later time he gave me a very reasonable quote so I gave him a 50% deposit after he told me to come by the shop but wasn't there. He came through a couple weeks later with all the canvas. However he forgot to order some plastic replacement parts for the Bimini and had to make a trip back to his shop because he forgot a tool. The final canvass product looks good but it was not Sunbrella which I expected and I know it won't last as long as my original Subrella canvas. Long story short, he never came through with my new carpet by the end of the season in October. I kept calling and he never returned calls. I finally got a hold of him and demanded my deposit for the carpet back. A few days later he sent me half the deposit but never the rest. Very bad business experience. read more

Took a 2,000.00 deposit and promised the work to be done weeks ago. No response to calls or text. Requested the deposit back and nothing. Beware of this company. read more

Aljor is great! Juan did an excellent job on the canvas. They custom made the canvas for my boat in late 2023, and I took it to Berkeley to liveaboard, it's been almost 2 years the canvas still stand strong, even the rains and winds goes strong there. Now I have sold the boat and comeback, think of that and it was a great experience. read more

See all

They did a great job on my boat's isinglass, with a great price. I recommend Aljor Marine Canvas.

I wanted to replace my BBQ cover. The one that came with my BBQ was not made of Sunbrella fabric and looked awful after 3 years in the sun. This company offered my choice of Sunbrella fabric colors. I brought in the old cover for them to replicate, and the new one was completed and ready for pick up 3 days later. Could not have been any easier. They did a great job! If it's something that can be sewn, Juan can make it to your specs. They also do custom cushions and padding for outdoor use. read more

I needed to replace an original cover and bimini top for our 21' pontoon boat. I stopped by their shop to have them look at the old cover and bimini and give me a quote. Juan gave me a number that was very reasonable compared to other local canvas shops and promised delivery by a certain date. The cover was quite complex with a tapered top. They did a great job on the cover; the workmanship was top notch and it fit perfectly. The bimini needed a slight adjustment which Juan took care of in two days. Highly recommend Aljor Marine Canvas. read more

We have never hired this company to do work for us; this is just a review of Juan, the owner. My son is building dog beds for a local shelter for his Eagle Scout project, He called a few local marine fabric companies to get a donation of fabric to build a prototype bed. Juan was kind enough to invite us over right away, allowed my son to choose a fabric and even cut it for us to the exact dimensions we needed. Thanks Juan! read more

This guy is a thief. He took my money 6 months ago and claimed to have taken dimensions for my boat canvas and kept saying he was fabricating the enclosure. Only to find out 6 months later that he has been lying all along and he hasn't done anything and won't refund me the money. Will take him to court to get my money back. Captains be aware. This guy is a fraud!! read more

I have been using Jose and his family crew of marine canvas experts for a number of years and I felt it was time I left a review for his business on YELP. Let me preface my comments with some history about myself- I have been sewing marine canvas for my own boats for a decade and I have an expensive walking foot canvas sewing machine and a lot of canvas tools that I have spent a lot of money on in the past. I therefore know the difference between excellent canvas work and shoddy work -- and since I found Jose I have essentially stopped doing my own canvas work-- which saves me a lot of time and the truth is he does a better job than I would do myself. His prices are fair and he does not play games with pricing or trying to change prices after a deal is struck and he only uses the best materials like Tenara lifetime thread and real sunbrella fabric and strap materials. Also he uses stainless snaps and other higher quality hardware. THe labor is the expensive part of canvas work and to get cheap on the materials is penny wise pound foolish. He just finished rail covers for my all wood 1971 32' GRand Banks and on this boat I cannot have any holes drilled into the wood surfaces - and he understood this problem and used straps that I tie to stanchions and twist hardware to close fabric to fabric but not a hole drilled anywhere. I have had other canvas guys ignore this instruction and drill holes that I then have to spend hours repairing. Conclusion-- if you are in the Newport Beach, Dana Point area and need marine canvas work done -- Jose and his family are people that you should not be disappointed with in terms of price, quality and fair dealings. You may have to wait for him to get to your project as he is busy with old customers that use him routinely-- but better to do the job once than have to redo canvas work a few years after your project is finished.

This man DOES NOT keep his appointments. Very dissatisfied. I flew back 1 day early from a vacation to meet him for a scheduled appointment. DOES NOT EVEN CALL or anything just leaves you at destination with zero concern. VERY UNRELIABLE !!!! If he doers that I would hate to see how he conducts himself with his actual work. If he is capable of being s irresponsible with his appointments it would not be a far stretch for him to be irresponsible with his work and his commitments. One thing I have learned in 30 years of business being irresponsible usually leads into All aspects of your life. There are better options (many) out there than Aljor Marine Canvas his number is 714-631-1144 DO NOT USE THIS GUY YOU WILL BE SORRY IN MY OPINION..... read more
