Above Board Covers

Had Gwen do new seats for my boat and they are awesome. She is a hard worker and knows her stuff. Fair prices and top quality workmanship.

I had a Pergola cover that was damaged in high winds..had no idea who to take it to. Found this company when they were located in Brechin,ont..just down the street from me.. I showed Gwen the damage to all 4 corners where the material and ties had ripped away.. Left it with her and was in no hurry for it as i knew she was busy with boat interiors.. Checked in a month later and it was epaired to perfection!!..Totally reinforced so no way the ties would tear off..she also reinforced all the seams..couldnt have asked for more..and the price..was way beyond reasonable!..I wouldnt have done what she did for what she charged me.. I will use her services again..thanx ..:)!

Do not buy from above board covers. Gwen, the owner, produces an inferior product. 30 gauge plastic that is so defective you can’t see thru it. Poor cuts, mismeasurements, zippers that don’t line up, fasteners placed on the outside the canvass so plastic couldn’t be rolled and clipped. We were in two rainfalls during a recent trip and the canvass leaked like a siv. It was raining harder on the inside of the boat than outside!!!!! Rain poured in the cockpit through every seam and stitch. Everywhere!!!! Anyone wishing to view pics and video of this debacle please let me know and I’ll be glad to share with you. We were told by Gwen that plastic needed to be out in the sun for extended periods of time to clear up imperfections in the plastic....seriously! Then we were told that the top had to be exposed to the rain several times in order for stitching to swell. Wow! 10 gallons of silicone would not fix this problem. Funny, I’ve owned several boats and have new tops made before, never being told by a reputable dealer that all these “smell tests” had to be endured. This is a joke. To roll the tape back further, Gwen was given our boat top back in October of 2017 with the condition that she have the top ready for the launch in April of 2018. The launch was actually delayed till the long weekend of 2018 and she still was unable to complete the job. Yes, 7 months to do a job and could not meet a deadline. Totally unacceptable. There were countless back and forth trips to our marina by Gwen in attempts to try and get things right, putting us now into a July timeframe. Gwen refuses to accept the fact that she produces an inferior, defective and extremely poor product. She also refused to return our money after pleading with her that this top was nothing short of junk! Yes? The customer is always right. As we now turn the corner into July 2018, I am forced to find a new boat top dealer and lose additional summer boating while a new top is made. Under no circumstances will I ever do business with Above board covers again. Stay clear of this business at all costs. Do your research and look for a reputable dealer, one that stands behind their product. Garbage all the way. Small claims court here we come!

Gwen Switzer manufactured 2 boat covers for my 24' 2010 Checkmate Pulsare and most recently my 24' 2017 Checkmate Pulsare high performance boat. She did an excellent job using Treo Endura with Tanara thread. The cover and materials were of the highest grade. She also upholstered a rodent damaged seat on my 2012 Z9 Nitro bass boat. I would highly recommend her.
