Getting an estimate for your marine upholstery project used to mean phone calls, back-and-forth emails, and trying to describe worn-out seats over the phone. We wanted to make it easier.
Now you can request an estimate right from our website - no phone call required.
## How It Works
**1. Visit Our Contact Page**
Head to contact page and select "Boats/Vehicles" as your request type.
**2. Tell Us About Your Boat**
Enter your boat's year, make, and model. This helps us understand what we're working with and find the right materials for your project.
**3. Describe What You Need**
Use the project description field to tell us what's going on. Common requests include:
- Replacing cracked or faded seat cushions
- Re-covering helm chairs
- New snap-on covers or bimini tops
- Complete interior restoration
- Custom cushions for swim platforms or bow areas
The more detail you provide, the more accurate our estimate will be.
**4. Upload Photos**
This is the most helpful part. Our form lets you upload up to 10 photos or PDFs. Snap some pictures of:
- The seats or areas that need work
- Any damage (cracks, tears, fading, mildew)
- The overall boat interior
- Reference photos of styles you like
Good photos help us understand the scope of work without needing an in-person visit for simple projects.
**5. Choose Your Timeline**
Let us know when you're hoping to have the work done:
- **No Rush** - Flexible timing
- **1-3 Months** - Planning ahead
- **6 Months** - Seasonal prep
- **Urgent** - Need it soon (may involve additional fees)
**6. Submit and Relax**
Hit submit and you'll get a reference number to track your request. We'll review everything and reach out to discuss options, pricing, and next steps.
## What Happens Next?
After you submit your request, here's what to expect:
1. We'll review your photos and project details
2. If we need more information, we'll reach out via your preferred contact method
3. For simple projects, we may be able to provide a quote directly
4. For larger jobs, we'll schedule a time to see the boat in person
## Why Use the Online Form?
- **Convenient** - Submit anytime, even outside business hours
- **Visual** - Photos tell us more than descriptions alone
- **Organized** - All your project details in one place
- **No pressure** - Take your time filling it out
## Ready to Get Started?
