Customer ReviewsforLakes Area Canvas

We dropped our boat off at *************************************** in Sept '20 to have a canvas cover made, winterized, and stored. We called from April 1st to June 2nd, '21, and ***********************, the owner, gave us different versions of why it wasn't ready. On June 2nd he admitted that they hadn't winterized it, causing the engine block to crack. ***** told us he'd make an insurance claim and that a new motor would be ordered and installed right away. After repeatedly calling, stopping by, and having many frustrating conversations, to get a status on the job, each time again a different version, he kept saying the motors coming. Late fall '21, still no motor. He said he'd shrink wrap it (which he didn't do, causing interior damage), store it for winter and it'd be ready to go in the spring. Beginning of April '22 we called, no motor! Should be in by May 1st. It wasn't. On May 15, after a very tense conversation with my husband, he confessed that he NEVER EVEN ORDERED the motor and that he wouldnt/couldnt order it until the week of May 30th. We stopped on June 3rd, and he again said that "he couldnt order a motor, he was busy, maybe in a few weeks! He even had the nerve to say he "other boats in the same situation, and they all understand, why can't we! In addition to refusing to order the motor, he admitted that he also never filed an insurance claim. He finally gave us his insurance info and told me I could work thru them. (In the end, All-************** said they did not insure him at the time and would not let us file a claim and EMC has no record of him having a policy. Of course, now he's not responding to attempts to get correct insurance info.) Our interaction that day finished with him threatening to call the cops on us and telling us to take our boat, which we did. The cost just to replace the motor plus labor was quoted at $14,951.14.If you value your possessions DO NOT bring them to ***************************************** ever.
