Reupholster Boat Seats & Give Your Michigan Boat a Fresh Start

Is it time to reupholster your boat? At Mid Michigan Awning & Upholstery, we specialize in helping boat owners breathe new life into their vessels — whether your seats are cracked, faded, torn, or just no longer match your style. Let our experienced team handle your boat reupholstery project with craftsmanship, high-quality materials, and attention to detail.

How the Process Works

Built Right Here in Michigan.

  1. Initial Consultation
    We evaluate your boat’s upholstery needs — condition of cushions, foam, frames, and your style preferences.
  2. Material Selection
    We bring marine-grade fabric and vinyl samples so you can choose the right look and durability.
  3. Detailed Quoting
    We provide an itemized estimate (labor, materials, foam) so there are no surprises.
  4. Professional Rebuild
    We remove old upholstery, repair or replace foam, cut and sew new covers, and install everything back securely.
  5. Final Inspection
    You inspect the finished cushions, seats, and surfaces. We make sure you’re 100% satisfied with the fit, finish, and look.

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.

Enjoy Your Boat Again

Picture yourself back on the water: your seats feel comfortable, look vibrant, and match your style. No more cracked vinyl, faded colors, or sagging cushions — just a renewed, clean, and durable interior that enhances every trip.

At Mid Michigan Awning & Upholstery, we believe in building upholstery that lasts. Let us help you enjoy your boat more — comfortably, safely, and in style.

Quality That Lasts

Every project that leaves our shop reflects the craftsmanship and pride that have built our reputation over the past 40+ years. We use only premium materials, such as marine-grade canvas and vinyl backed by 8–10 year warranties, so your upholstery will look great and perform well for years to come.

While warranties can’t cover “acts of nature” like animal damage or extreme weather, our team is always ready to help with repairs and patching to extend the life of your covers or upholstery. From boats and farm equipment to home furnishings and commercial seating, we believe quality work brings quality results, and that’s what we deliver every time.
