Reupholster Boat Seats & Give Your Michigan Boat a Fresh Start

When Is It Time to Reupholster?

• Wear and Tear: Cracks, splits, or seams coming apart.
• Fading or Discoloration: Sun exposure can bleach or degrade fabric.
• Stains: Permanent stains from spills, mildew, or saltwater.
• Comfort Loss: Cushions that sag, feel hard, or have lost their shape.
• Style Change: The look is dated, or you just want a fresh design.

These are all common signs that your Michigan boat needs expert boat reupholstery, not just a quick patch.

Why Reupholster a Boat?

Nothing ages a boat quite like worn-out upholstery. Over time, sun, water, and everyday use take their toll — causing fading, cracks, rips, or stains. By replacing your upholstery, you can make your seating look brand new again and even update the design. Whether you want modern vinyl, durable marine fabric, or a custom style, we’ll help you pick materials that suit your boat and lifestyle.

Restore Comfort & Durability

Old foam loses its shape. If your cushions feel flat, uncomfortable, or no longer support you like they used to, that’s a sign it’s time for reupholstery. We don’t just replace the “skin” — we also evaluate and upgrade the foam padding. We use high-density, marine-grade foam that resists water, mold, and mildew so your seats stay comfortable and long-lasting.

Protect Against Elements

Marine environments are tough: UV rays, moisture, salt spray, mildew — these all degrade fabric and vinyl over time. We use materials that are specifically designed to withstand these conditions. These fabrics are UV-resistant, water-repellent, and built to hold up better than standard upholstery.

Upgrade Your Style

Maybe your upholstery isn’t just worn — maybe it’s outdated. Trends change, and your boat’s interior should reflect your tastes. We offer a variety of options with colors, patterns, and finishes so you can customize your seats. You can choose modern, classic, bold, or subtle — whatever matches your vision.

Increase Resale Value

Thinking about selling someday? Reupholstering is one of the most effective ways to boost your boat’s appearance and value. A fresh, clean interior makes a great first impression and shows potential buyers that the boat has been well cared for.

Choose Mid Michigan Awning & Upholstery

1. Marine Upholstery Expertise
   We understand the unique demands of marine environments. Our team works with marine-grade foam, UV-resistant thread, and materials designed to handle moisture, sunlight, and temperature changes.
2. Quality Craftsmanship
   Every project starts with a close inspection. We carefully remove old covers, assess the condition of foam and frames, and then reconstruct your cushions with precision. Our stitching, seam sealing, and reinforcements ensure long-lasting durability.
3. Material Selection
   We offer a broad range of marine fabrics, including high-quality vinyl and performance fabrics. Whether you want something classic or a custom design, we’ll help you choose the right material for your budget and boating lifestyle.
4. Fully Custom Work
   From color to pattern, piping, stitching, and foam density — we tailor everything. You can choose a coordinated look across seats, side panels, helm area, or any upholstered surface.
5. Convenience & Trust
   We handle your Michigan boat with care, whether you bring your cushions to our shop or we pick them up (depending on location). Our workmanship, reputation, and years in the business give you peace of mind.
6. Plenty of Room
   Unlike some businesses, we can accommodate all sorts of needs. For example, in our facility we have ample room to work on a full boat. Some companies have limited space, which means the boat will either be left outside or their customers must bring the pieces into a shop.
7. Long-Term Value

   Investing in reupholstery not only improves comfort and appearance — it protects your investment. With proper materials and craftsmanship, your refreshed seating can last many seasons, resisting UV damage, mildew, and structural wear.
