coaming pads

Due to wear and tare I need to get my pads reupholstered, does anyone know of a reputable canvas/upholstery shop in southern mass.? Looked into buying from the manufacture first, they want an arm and 2 legs to replace those.
What gets me is they hang expensive pads(which are pissa to have) with .02 cent metal hardware that break down soon afterwards and leave heavy rust stains to boot.
Especially when it comes to Marine environment you get what you pay for.

I use a one-man(woman) shop up here in Quincy.
Is that too far?
Super work and very reasonable.

I saw their work on a friend's boat and looked high quality.

Allerton Harbor Canvas in Hull. Those guys do some incredible work. They did a console cover for one of my customers boats and it came out unbelievable.

Goose,

My boat is in Niemiec and I see trucks in there all the time with upholstering, canvas, railing signs from NB. (Can't recall the specific names) There are several guys in town that do this. I would ask at the boatyard or west marine on popes I who does this and get some quotes.
