Fast, friendly and fantastic. We are so pleased with how our chiropractic table was recovered. I only wish I had a before picture to show the difference.

I decided to have Johnson Canvas tackle a project that required talent and care. I have an imported horse drawn carriage and needed a top made for it as we drive in many varying conditions. This carriage isn't just a normal carriage and didn't want a plain canvas covering. All I can say is Johnson Canvas was up to the task! When I saw the top all I could say is, WOW! They were up to the task and more. What Talent! They listened intently when discussing the project and didn't miss one item. Sides are removable and can roll up! Again. all I can say is WOW!

I had an unusual request where I needed curtains made to hang from handrails around a spent nuclear fuel pool. Johnson Canvas came through perfectly, installing a weight at the bottom, embossing letters on each panel and delivering in record time. Panels were made in many different sizes and every single one fit perfect. I recommend them to everyone!

I needed to get a few ripped panels on a snowmobile seat replaced. After an initial small misunderstanding, we reached an agreement and everything worked out. They do very nice work.
