How every job gets made

Custom Boat Canvas, Measured Once.

Every Lavigne's cover, top and seat goes through the same four steps, which is why it fits the first time.

01

Measure

Your boat is templated with a Proliner digital measuring system. No paper patterns, no guesswork, every curve captured to the millimetre.

Proliner digital template
02

Cut

The pattern goes straight to the CNC cutter, so panels come out identical to the measurements, and repeatable if you ever need a replacement.

CNC cutting table
03

Stitch

Sewn by people with decades on the machines, using marine-grade thread, fabric and hardware built for Northern Ontario weather.

Industrial machines · marine thread
04

Install

It's fitted on your boat, every snap and zipper checked, and handed back ready for the water. Your pattern stays on file.

About us

The Family Behind Lavigne's Canvas Co.

Lavigne's Canvas Co. is a family-owned marine canvas and upholstery shop at 102 Booth Rd in North Bay, Ontario, in business since 1995. A five-person crew with more than 50 years of combined experience builds boat covers, tops, seats, floors and awnings in one shop.

The idea has always been simple: one shop that can finish the whole boat. Covers, canvas, upholstery and flooring are all done under the same roof, so the person who measured your boat is down the hall from the person sewing your cover.

The Proliner digital measuring system and CNC cutting table came later, and they're why a cover made today fits the first time and can be cut again from the same pattern years from now.

Pat Lavigne Jr.

President

Runs the shop on Booth Road and leads every restoration. Customers mention him by name for taking the time to answer every question.

Kristy

Helps customers choose fabrics, colours and options, and is often the first person you'll talk to at the shop.

Before you call

Boat Cover & Canvas Questions

Something else on your mind? Call the shop at 705-410-6872.

How much does a custom boat cover cost?

It depends on the size of the boat, the fabric and features like zippered windows, support poles or snap-on fittings. Lavigne's templates your boat with a Proliner digital measuring system and quotes from those exact measurements, so the price is for your boat, not a size chart. Call 705-410-6872 or send the quote form for a price.

When should I order a winter boat cover?

Before haul-out. Demand for winter and storage covers peaks in September and October, so booking your measurement in late summer or early fall gets the cover made before freeze-up.

Do you come to measure my boat, or do I bring it in?

Both. Bring it to the Booth Road shop in North Bay, or Lavigne's can measure on site within the mobile service area. For Temiskaming Shores and Muskoka, travel is quoted on top of the job.

Can you repair my boat cover or canvas instead of replacing it?

Yes. The shop replaces zippers and snaps, patches tears, re-stitches seams and matches existing canvas colours where it can. If a repair won't last, you'll be told straight and quoted for a new cover instead.

Is restoring my pontoon worth it compared to buying new?

If the hull, pontoons and motor are solid, usually yes. A restoration replaces the seating, flooring, canvas and details for a fraction of a new boat's price, and you keep the boat you already know. Lavigne's will look at the boat and tell you honestly whether it's worth doing.

Do you fix car and truck seats too?

Yes. Automotive seat repair is a big part of the upholstery work, along with snowmobile and ATV seat covers.

Can you add a sound system during a pontoon restoration?

Yes. The sister company, Lavigne's Car Audio, works out of the same building and handles marine audio, so it can be done in the same visit.

Do you offer a warranty?

Yes. Lavigne's Canvas Co. offers a 10-year warranty on select fabrics, plus a workmanship guarantee on the work done in the shop. Ask which fabrics carry the 10-year coverage when you get your quote.

Do you offer financing?

Yes. Lavigne's offers customer financing through Financeit, a Canadian financing company, so you can spread the cost of a pontoon restoration, enclosure, cover, upholstery, flooring or awning over monthly payments. Financing is subject to credit approval. See the financing page or call 705-410-6872.

How do I get a quote?

Call the shop at 705-410-6872 or fill in the quote form on this page with your boat and what you need. Lavigne's will follow up with next steps.
