Reasonable price quotes for carpet installation
I just purchased a 1985 19' w/ a cuddy cabin. I would like to pay
someone who knows what they are doing to install new marine carpet
that matches the carpet in the cuddy. Before I start looking for
quotes I would appreciate it if anyone could tell me how much is
reasonable and likely vs. what is a rip off.Also I need to replace the canvas on the sunbrella type system:
bimini, sidewalls, and aft cover. The bars that hold the canvas are in
perfect shape. I just need the canvas. I would really appreciate any
recommendations. |

| I am open to recommendations. I had someone quote 1700 for the carpet
- I'll get the exacto knife out myself for this, but hoping to find a
pro at a reasonable price. |

buy a roll of paper used for making patterns for vinyl floors or just cut it
in place. Then glue the carpet in or get the edges bound and install snaps
to hold in in place.

give the guy some help. |

| Don, I'll wager two boxes of frozen squid that Seņor Gould doesn't have any
business recommendations for the OP, even though this is right in his
neighborhood, *and* it's boat-related. :-) |

| You've done it now! he'll dig out every business card in his shoebox and
every marine related directory he has just to prove you wrong.
He is getting better though... he delivered my last lecture in 500 words or
less. |

| Forgot to add that you should have plenty of canvas shops in your
area. the people that make window awnings, and repair convertable tops
on cars.etc. You sholdn't ahve much money tied up in either one. |
