I had 7 cushions redone after agreeing to terms with Abner. 4 of the 7 cushions were redone due to poor foam work. After picking up the warranty work today I'm not happy with their work and new damage was discovered. If you love your boat and you're looking for quality work, keep shopping for a different vendor that actually does marine upholstery. Make sure they have a shop that's not at someone's house or in their backyard. I missed all the warning signs and have serious regret now. Save yourself, time, money, and grief and keep shopping around. Don't end up with regret like me... read more

I am so happy with the new canvas and upholstery that was done. Very professional and timely and reasonably priced. Abnee was great to work with, even though we haven't actually met in person yet. I look forward to working with him again. read more

Abner was an excellent communicator in keeping in the loop of the progress of my project which consisted of a new windshield, side windows, removable side wing wind and sea spray deflectors. He also made me a sun shade for the bow. He made everything to spec. There were only a couple minor things that I didn't like, but Abner made sure it was rectified immediately. He made sure the project was to my specs. I highly recommend Brothers Marine Canvas any projects you have on your boat. Their quality of work was phenomenal.... read more

Excellent service, amazing craftsmanship. The Brother's Marina Canvas Family is a gem of a local business. In an industry like boating, it's hard to even get someone to show up. These guys are on time, super organized and very detail oriented. I could not recommend a better marine canvas contractor. read more

I was looking for someone who could make some snap on curtains for for my patio. The material needed to match the mesh material that was already in place on the retractable screens that enclose the patio. Abner took my call, looked at the pictures and said, yep, I can do that. He came out to the house, measured the openings and confirmed that he had a material to match. He did an excellent job fabricating and installing the curtains. And, he had them done in a week! If my mesh curtains are any indication of the workmanship of his products and the expert installation, it is easy to recommend him for your project! read more

I highly recommend Brothers Marine Canvas. I have worked with Abner them on two of my boats. He is awesome: Very professional and top quality work. The prices were always very reasonable. Service was fast. On my first boat Abner and team designed and installed a Bimini top. On my second boat the work included a number of covers, cushions and full enclosure. They also did some wonderful cover work at my former place of employment. I plan to continue to use Brothers for all my future needs. read more

Abner did a great job making a completely new Isen glass enclosure for a flybridge on a 38' Luhr. Done on time with great communications keeping me in the loop on status. I highly recommend Abner and team. A+ read more

I have a Bayliner Ciera 3055. Brothers Marine Canvas did a fantastic job putting new canvas on my bimini top. They also made a canvas cockpit cover spanning from the base of the windshield all the way back to the transom. They did such a beautiful job on the canvas that I had them reupholster all of the vinyl seating up top in the cockpit and they did a wonderful job with that as well. Abner was always responsive, friendly, very reasonable and never missed a call. Highly recommended. Thanks again! read more

Brothers Marine Canvas came to the rescue when another shop had the boat for SIX WEEKS claiming they could complete the job only to find out that nothing had been done when it was already into the beginning of summer. After calling 15 places that were fully booked for the rest of summer, I connected with Abner who was able to take a look at all the photos and give me a quote almost immediately. They were able to accelerate the process a bit for a rush fee so I could actually use my boat for more of summer. The prior shop removed all the old vinyl so they had the hard task of recreating all the upholstery from photos. The cover fits perfectly and the boat looks amazing. Abner was easy to communicate with, quick to respond, and even sent pictures when the work was completed. This really put me at ease after my prior experience with the other shop and we are excited to enjoy all the work while we are lounging on the boat this summer. Thanks Brothers Marine for salvaging the rest of summer vacay on our boat! read more

These guys came with great recommendations from our Yacht club, we were the 5th to use them. They redid our upholstery and even made some structural upgrades in the process and no up-charge. They did fabulous work, on time. I would give them 10 starts if I could. On top of it, they were less expensive than the quote we got elsewhere. Thanks Brothers Canvas! read more

Caution: DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS!!! Please Read Entire Post. FACTS: Sept. 19, 2018 I Met with Peter Viveros on my 340 Sea Ray Sundancer for a quote. Peter gave me a quote for Marine Reupholster $4900.00 plus tax. Peter required 50% Deposit to start work and stated the project would take 3 weeks to complete. Sept. 21, 2018 Received Invoice via e-mail from Peter for boat upholstery work. Invoice dated 09/19/2018 and the Due Date for Completion was 10/29/2018. Total Bill: $5,292.00 (Tax Included). Sept. 23,2018 CitiVisa charged $2649.00 (50% of Project). Wife and I met with Peter on boat and received Vinyl Sample Booklets. Peter stated he would order material once selected and start removing upholstery on Oct. 2, 2018. Oct. 2, 2018 Peter was a No Show to remove upholstery. I discovered this Oct 10th while checking on boat. Oct. 10. 2018 Sent Peter a text inquiring why he didn't pickup upholstery. Peter explained that was the plan, but his wife had a baby. Peter said all materials arrived and he sees no foreseen delays to have the work completed. Oct. 12, 2018 We went on Vacation Oct. 12 - 28, 2018. Oct. 15, 2018 I received a text message from a marina neighbor that Peter was taking out boat upholstery. October 28, 2018 Return from vacation. Peter literally had the entire month of October to complete boat upholstery work as agreed. Oct. 29, 2018 Sent Peter a text message inquiring the status of the upholstery work on our boat. Peter responded the goal was to install this weekend (Nov 3-4, 2018) and he would text me the time. I texted Peter asking him to send me pictures of the upholstery as we were curious as to how it turned out. Peter stated he would. Oct. 30, 2018 No pictures from Peter of boat upholstery work. I drove to Brothers Marine Canvas located at 2428 Newport Blvd. Suite 5 in Costa Mesa. Spoke with Peter's brother (Mom and Dad Present) asking them to show me the upholstery work. The work was not completed! The small Lounge Backrest had the wrong material. It was not the material we selected with Peter. The workmanship appeared like it was rushed to be completed. The accent vinyl in the backrest was loose. (wrinkles) not tight. One of the Captain's chairs was disassembled foam exposed, the 2nd Captain chair was in it's original condition. No work done to it. The 4 cushion pads for the lounge were complete. I did not see the large Lounge Backrest and the 3rd Captain Seat. Oct. 30, 2018 Called Peter...No Answer. Texted Peter and stated Not Happy Work Wasn't Completed! Subsequently drove to marina slip to check on my boat and I see Peter just taking the large Lounge Backrest from my boat and the 3rd Captain Seat was sitting in a cart in front of my boat. Invoice Due Date was Oct. 29, 2018 to be completed. Peter stated it would take 3 weeks to complete the project. Peter didn't start project until Oct. 15, 2018 and he waited till Oct. 30th to come back to my boat to remove the rest of the upholstery. Brothers Marine Canvas failed to complete the job. Peter failed to properly oversee the project to make sure the selected material was used. Peter insisted he was right, and he was completing the job on time, and I owed him an apology for saying he didn't complete it on time because I had agreed he had until the weekend (Nov. 3rd & Nov. 4th, 2018) to complete the install. Amazing, Peter is just taking out the remainder of the upholstery from my boat on Oct. 30, 2018 and he had since Oct 1st to start the project. Very Dissatisfied Customer! Peter is not a man of his word, he has poor work ethic and can't be trusted. Peter is not willing to accept responsibility that he didn't complete the job as agreed upon. The facts remain: I told Peter we were on vacation Starting Oct 12, 2018 and returning Oct. 28, 2018. I told Peter he could start Oct. 1, 2018. Peter said it would only take 3 weeks to complete and he would have the project done by Oct. 29, 2018 as indicated on my Invoice. Peter never informed me the project wouldn't be completed on time, or that he needed more time to complete the job. Nov 1, 2018 I personally removed the 3rd Capt. Seat and the large Lounge Backrest. It took me a total of 20 minutes. I researched how to remove clips from the Port and Starboard panels secured to the Arch. Peter did not remove these Pads as he stated on Oct. 30, 2018 he was looking for a Special Tool since 8:30 AM to remove the upholstery panels. On Nov. 1, 2018, I purchased the upholstery tool kit from Harbor Freight for $15.99. I find it difficult to believe that Peter, being in the upholstery business, didn't have a tool to remove panel clips. It took me approx. 10 mins to remove both panels on the Arch. Nov. 3rd Brothers Marine Canvas Served with a Demand Letter for Reimbursement of the 50% Deposit $2,649.00 or I would take them to Small Claims Court. This is the first step to Resolution of a very Poor Business Transaction. read more

Over the last few years, I had been looking to get a cover made for my 17' RIB. Beginning of January I spent about a week calling and leaving messages for various businesses in the area that do marine canvas. Of the five that I tried giving my business to, not a single one answered a call or responded to voicemails(still almost a month later haven't heard back from any of them). Started calling around to some others and decided to give Brothers Marine Canvas a call. Peter answered the phone right away, I explained what I was looking for, and sent him a photo of the boat. Minutes later, he sent me an estimate for what I wanted and I let him know I was waiting to hear back from a few others before I made a decision. It was evident that the customer service at Brothers Marine Canvas was on point. Fast forward about two weeks on Jan 19th, I texted Peter and let him know I wanted to move forward with the cover. He emailed me the official invoice and it had a completion date of about a month out(I was prepared for a 2-3 month wait). Jan 23rd, I met Peter, his father, and his brother down at my boat and they made the template for the cover(the 23rd was the earliest I could make it down there. They tried coming sooner). Jan 29th, Peter texts me saying the cover is complete and wanted to meet me down the following morning to put on. Jan 30th, the boat is covered with the new beautiful, perfect fitting cover. Could not be happier with how this turned out and how easy it was to work with Peter. I will continue to use and refer Brothers Marine Canvas for all my canvas needs! T read more

For once we hired a perfect contractor!!! I can't say enough good things about this family owned business. They worked hard on our new (to us) 42' sailboat during challenging times (Covid shut down). They turned around our project in record time while never sacrificing quality or service. They replaced our fully enclosed dodger system, and various other canvas pieces topside, as well as made new exterior window shade coverings and all hatch covers. They also replaced all exterior cushions. Additionally, they did a complete overhaul on our interior upholstery throughout the entire boat. All the work was completed within the 5-6 week timeframe they quoted and at a very fair price. We weren't the easiest people to work with either. We changed our mind on the interior upholstery color after they had already ordered our original selection - and they were super cool about it. We made other changes throughout the project too and they were always very accommodating. They worked hard to get us the exact Textilene material we wanted (for our hatch covers and window shades) despite their suppliers being closed due to the pandemic. They had to make countless trips to our boat in Alamitos Bay from their shop in Costa Mesa just to bring us something we needed (like a fabric swatch/sample or brochure). They were always easy to reach or promptly responded to messages and always showed up wearing masks and mindful of social distancing guidelines. They made valuable suggestions throughout the project and offered honest feedback regarding our choices. We still have one more part of the project (main sail cover) to finish, and then the job will be complete. They've been an absolute pleasure to work with and I feel confident about recommending their services; you won't be disappointed in their work. Bottom line: these guys wanted the job and went to great lengths to make sure we were remained happy throughout the project. I will edit this post at a later date once we see how their work holds up over time and use, but I have no doubt we will remain happy with the end result. Thank you Abner and Peter... you were a pleasure to do business with! Stay well. read more

Worked with Peter on a new canvas and glass for my 23' cuddy. Peter and brothers marine canvas are easy to work with. Always showed up on time and delivered when they said. We did the canvas in 3 steps to ensure everything fit and it fit perfect. The upgraded eisen glass (sp?) is like looking through the windshield in you car. Rear cover keeps everything clean and very dry. Was super easy just told Peter what I wanted and let him take it from there. Also the price was very reasonable. read more

Peter and his team completed an excellent job. I have referred him to two other people, one a broker and the other a boat owner and they both came back to me and raved about the great job they did. On that note, as a Marine Surveyor I do recommend their work. Excellent job Peter and by the way, I just sold that boat and bought another one so I will be needing your services again.

My experience with Brothers Marine has been nothing short of a collection of lies and broken promises. I paid the a sizeable deposit to start work on several canvas projects on my Boat. I was told it would be 2 to 3 weeks. . It has been 3 months with no work completed that I am aware of .. just a collection of broken promises by Peter.. do yourself a favor avoid this business. As they will give you the business in the form of lies and broken promises. read more

Stay away they do not stand behind their work. This company was one of two who bid on a major remodel on my 35'. (Over 10k in potential work). They were over priced on all aspects of the job so they did not receive the larger portion of the bid. I needed to meet time deadlines so I gave them an aft cover canvas job that they said they do often. Even though they were 400.00 higher than the other company I gave it to them. Their design failed several times in support and upon the last "repair" ( poles tearing out from their attachment points) it was identified that their install was done on the wrong angle and didn't have enough support -So water collected and stretched the canvas as well as bent the frame. When asked to address. They would not respond. In fact they said they were now out of business. Thinking that was a lie I had friends call the shop to inquire about doing a fake canopy and they returned the call immediately and stated they were in full business mode not out of business. So basically lying and not standing behind their work. I do not recommend them at all. Go with Beracah Canvas instead!!!! read more

I am a HUGE fan of Brothers! They've done two extensive jobs on our yacht and the jobs were: fairly priced, done on time, and they look great. Really nice and easy to work with too. Absolutely no negatives to report. read more

We have worked with these guys twice. Once for our canvas for the front of the boat and once for a total redo of our upholstery. They did A+ work both times. We could not be more thrilled with their quality of work, responsiveness and attention to detail. We highly recommend! Susan read more

I have used Brothers Marine Canvas before on two different boats. One was a 30 foot offshore cruiser with stripes. Replacing all of the inside upholstery was done on time and well trimmed and finished. They reupholstered a bench seat and two captains chairs on my other boat. have also used them to replace the bridge strata glass and canvas. I have found them to be prompt and fairly priced. Good job to Abner and his family. They always have been professional and got the job done on time. I will continue to use them for all of my boating needs! read more

We were looking for a local company to give us an estimate on an isinglass and full canvas for our Bayliner 325 Cruiser Yacht. Abner provided a very reasonable estimate that we could not refuse. His company did an excellent job from taking measurements to installing the products. We were so thrilled and happy with their service so we decided to hire them for the second time to make covers for the seats, tables and runners for the floors. We are beyond satisfied with the service provided. Our yacht looks marvelous and everyone who visited and saw the transformation said the yacht looks great. Abner not only installed the products on time but he delivered outstanding. We are planning on using this company again to replace the carpet on our cockpit. For the service and work provided, we give this company a 5 star. read more

Their work on our boat replacing our Flybridge Canvas and Isinglass was excellent. However the Vinyl Headliner replacement job on the Flybridge Hardtop was terrible! It came loose and fell down in a matter of weeks. Then when they came to fix that it still came loose again after they re-glued where it had come loose.. Then they wanted to charge me labor time to fix their mistake. Also there was glue drippings around the Flybridge from the headliner installation. I highly recommend them for marine canvas work, but don't use them for upholstery work! read more

Peter and Abner were great. Our search to find them was a little unique, in that we had a zipper that wouldn't close on a roof top tent, and we weren't certain if we needed a new zipper, a whole new bag top, or something else. I sent Peter some pictures and they told us to stop by and they'd look at it more. They suggested to start with just replacing the slide/glide, and see if that resolved it, since that was the easiest and cheapest thing to try first. Turns out, that was all it needed and we were back in business. Thank you Abner for your time, and giving us just what we needed. I appreciate the service you guys offer, and will def come back for other related needs. read more

They did a great, fast job of replacing my eisenglass windows plus roaring the zippers that attached it.

It was time to get the interior redone along with a new storage cover and Bimini. I called several places and never really had a good feeling with the places that actually called back. Peter called back promptly and made an appointment to come take a look at my project. 23 cushions in all plus the cover and Bimini. There were a couple of issues that came up as things do. Peter was unfazed and took yo task making sure everything was just right. Very happy with the end result. Looking forward to getting out to show off the new look! Thanks Peter!! read more

This is the worst of the worst we had a new Bimini top for our boat installed they said that they would replace all bad base snaps on our estimate...they did not replace any...they said even tho base snaps were rusted they held at the time of install...really !!!!!!!!...they said that would be an extra charge...could not believe ...bad bad business...also they said 3 weeks it took 3 months...also would not complete the rest of the job!!...do not use this business!!!..... read more

Extremely satisfied! Great service, on-time completion, great craftsmanship! I'm a new customer, I found them on Yelp. I called Peter requesting an estimate to modify my ski boat cover as it no longer fit once I installed a tower on the boat. Peter promptly came out to my boat storage yard and provided a free estimate by phone. I also asked him how the cover could be modified to better protect the boat and allow moisture to escape. He suggested reinforcing areas susceptible to ripping, added custom air vents, modifications to secure the cover around the tower connections, and added a skirt around the bottom of the cover to protect the colored gel coat sections of the boat from sun damage. He took the cover, modified it as discussed and had it ready on time, in less than two days. I couldn't be happier and definitely recommend their shop! read more

These guys are AWESOME!! I had them replace my Bimini top and complete surrounding Isinglass on my first 28' boat in 2017, and they did a great job. When I sold it in late 2019, it still looked like new and probably help sell the boat. The new 35' boat came in from Florida late November and was a mess. I even got a complaint from the private marina in Newport about the front screen and Isinglass. Called Brothers Marine Canvas and Abner came out the next day, in the rain. He had the new front screen installed in less than a week, wow! When I finally pulled the trigger on the Bimini and Isinglass, they wasted no time and had everything installed in a less than 3 weeks, and it looks great. I now have the nicest looking boat in that small marina. I have worked with both Peter and Abner and they are extremely patient and knowledgeable and take pride in their business and workmanship. A member in our boat club was having issues getting anyone out to his boat to give him a bid on all new cushions, I had Abner call him and Brothers Marine Canvas had new cushions installed for him very quickly. Great work, great quality, very helpful, and very friendly. Will continue to use and recommend these guys and thank you Abner for a job well done. read more

These guys did a great job installing canvas mesh fencing for my boat railing to keep our two dogs from going overboard on our 50-foot trawler. This was probably a non-standard canvas request, but Peter came up with great ideas to make it easy to work with while still looking great. Peter was very responsive and the canvas looked better than I expected, super clean lines and fits our railing perfectly. I would definitely use them again. read more
