La Fabrica, in our opinion, does the finest of work on boat enclosures, dodgers, Bimini canvas and windows. They did the original work on our Hunter 45 CC in 2008 and we just had them clean the canvas, replace the windows, and any snaps or areas that needed attention. Though we live in Victoria, no one locally can hold a candle to what La Fabrica can create, customize and install. The attention to detail is excellent. A huge thanks to Roberto and William for an exceptional job. Awesome to deal with, professional and courteous. Sincerely, Cheryl and Ted Smith

They did a fantastic job on my new dodger and sail cover for my 34' Catalina.. Dave Spruce Marina, Vancouver.
We had an eyebrow and back slope installed on our boat last year. These guys did an incredible job, on time and reasonably priced. Just had them replace our foam padding around the cockpit this season and again - super job and would certainly recommend them to anyone. Nice people to do business with.
Let me be clear, I DO NOT recommend La Fabrica or Roberto. Dealing with them was one of the worst marine service experiences in my life. I took my boat cover to them for cleaning/repair. Roberto seemed amicable, but it was clearly a dis organized and poorly run place. I had had a recommendation to go there so I proceeded. Roberto would not give an estimate. A vague price was alluded to. He did have it ready on the date promised, and it was clean, however, on first inspection it did not look good. There were elastics all around the bottom edge that were old, stretched and broken when I brought it in. I had pointed these out to him. On first glance at pick up, none of these had been replaced. I pointed it out and he shrugged it off saying he 'missed that'. The sewing on the repairs was sloppy. OK, I thought, it's clean, I'll do the elastics myself. I asked for my bill. It was OUTRAGEOUS! Almost 3,000! I could have had a new cover made from scratch for 7,000. When I questioned this bill Roberto became very defensive. Most of it was for hours soaking in their cleaning tank. Really?! Only six hours of claimed sewing. Even at 100/hr for sewing that's only 600. I had been expecting something like 750-1000. Roberto became more indignant as I pointed out that for this outrageous bill he had not even managed to replace the obviously worn elastics. The cover was not folded neatly, just kind of piled up. No customer service. Only after leaving did I read his reviews. Bad. I strongly suggest you take your marine canvas business elsewhere.
My experience with this company is absolutely terrible. When emailing the owner, he takes days to respond and when he does he doesnt even answer the original questions. I had specifically asked for certain fabric and William (the owner) told me I had to pay %50 deposit before he will order. I send my boyfriend in to pay the deposit and the guy at the front desk refuses the deposit saying he will just put the order through. Three days later William calls me and says he wont make the order without the deposit! I told him what happened with my boyfriend and his staff refused my boyfriend deposit and he didn't care, didn't apologize, he just said, we prefer not to work with retail clients. William doesn't take responsibility for his staff and training them properly. Dont work with these people - there are so many other fabric businesses you can support!
