A-1 Canvas has been serving Southern California boat owners since 1980 — over 45 years of custom marine canvas and upholstery experience.

We're at 8448 Loma Pl, Upland, CA 91786 — right in the heart of the Inland Empire. Open Monday through Friday, 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.

A-1 Canvas is owned and operated by Louie Valentine. When you call, you'll talk to Louie directly — no front desks, no middlemen.

Upland, Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, Orange County, the Inland Empire — if you're in SoCal, we'll take care of you.
