Residential canvas
Home sweet home
The cold will come
With the cold starting to creep into the air, it’s time to start thinking about protecting your home from everything the Winter will throw at it. Our residential canvas service is just the ticket.
It’s not too soon
In addition to award-winning boat canvas and upholstery, we also build bespoke protective panels for porches, windows, three-season rooms and more. Whether your property is right on the water or tucked in the woods, residential canvas will help protect your outdoor living spaces and windows from the weather, saving you time and money in cleaning, repairs and upkeep.
Our panels are perfect for seasonal residents or Summer rental owners who close up their properties in Winter. They’re also great for houses with outbuildings or spaces that don’t get used in the coldest parts of the year. Whatever you need to protect, we can help.
Strength with style
All our residential canvas panels are made from tough, durable fabrics, window plastic and hardware that can coordinate with your existing outdoor look. Where needed, battens along the bottom provide weight to keep panels in place when the wind blows. Access can be arranged with zipped doors, and windows can added so you can enjoy your view year-round. We’re flexible so you can be, too.
“I manage three waterfront properties that are exposed to extreme wind and weather conditions. John and his highly skilled team designed, built and installed enclosures to protect the properties, covered porches and contents. The enclosures are aesthetically pleasing, extremely functional and have helped cut maintenance and associated costs significantly. I highly recommend them!”
– Rick O’Farrell
It’s not just squares
Because we make everything by hand here in our shop, building panels can be whatever shape they need to be. With our 25+ years of experience building all kinds of canvas, you know your new panels will look great and perform well for years to come.
We will also take care of Autumn installation and Spring take down and storage if you like, so your new panels will not only look great, but will also be hassle free. We look after private and commercial buildings large and small in Midcoast Maine and the islands, or we can liaise with your caretaker if you prefer.
Whatever you need, call us now to ensure your panels are ready to install before the wind starts to howl next Winter.
Loving Summer
Here in Vacation Land, being outside in the warm weather is an everyday luxury we all relish, but insects, wind and rain can cut into your enjoyment of your outdoor space. Our stylish, flexible Summer enclosures will definitely help.
Long Summer afternoons that linger into evenings are far more comfortable with insect screens. Full enclosures shield you (and your furniture) from wind and rain with lightweight panels and doors that roll down when you want them then roll up when you don’t. Big, bright windows that show off your views can roll up to reveal insect screens so you can enjoy the breeze on warmer days. Panels can enclose a full deck or only part of it, as you prefer, so you get more out of your outdoor space all season long.
Indoor decor with roadside appeal
Our Summer enclosures are made from the same fantastic selection of high-quality UV stable fabrics and vinyls we use for our marine canvas projects (like Strataglass, Top Gun fabric and Keder track), so they look great inside and out. As with our Winter panels, enclosures are easy to remove and store, or we can take care of that for you.
Our clients include large waterfront properties, smaller cottages and homes, as well as local golf courses and yacht clubs. A growing number of our clients even have our panels up all year long – we install Winter panels in the Autumn, then take them down and put up Summer panels in the Spring.
Whatever you need to make more of your outdoor space and add value to your investment, we’d be pleased to help.
