I recently had Top Stitch in CR make one for my double eagle and he did an excellent job. I didn't bother getting a quote cause Clark has an excellent reputation and does top notch work.
RE: Eldorado, Courtenay
Small (not marine related) job, thought I would go local (my company was paying). Verbal quote was $140. Bill was $290.
Had the EXACT same job done in CR for $85 (same parts redone, from same machine. And yes $85 vs. $290). That is a BIG difference that I had to try to explain to accounting. Not only did they gouge, it made me look bad which is far from appreciated.
I was going to go talk them about why I was gouged so bad, and see if agreement could be reached. Decided it was so blatant that obviously was done on purpose, and doesnt warrant discussion. I will not be darkening their door again, nor will anyone I know.
Anybody who wants details is more than welcome to PM me. This is not an advert for the CR place that dealt honestly with me, only a caution re: Eldorado.
Like FA said, get written qoute.

Eldorado did one window panel job for me as it was cracked. They did a great job and it was cheap. So I thought I would have to other window panel done. It cost 3X's the cost of the window panel done the week before. Why? They couldn't explain and they would adjust the price.
