Eisenglass company in the DC area/Tornado damage

To all of my DMV boaters, does anyone have a good Eisenglass person?  Colonial Beach had a straight line winds/tornado a few weeks back, massive damage.  I actually lucked out until a piece of metal started blowing around poking holes in my canvas and scratching my eisenglass.  @Dream_Inn, If repair is the route to go for the canvas I will go to Creations by Taylor.

Here is some of the damage to my dock and surrounding area.  127 mph winds were clocked.

@06Rinker270 I am going to second Dreams recommendation of Creations by Taylor in Edgewater.  I have had a bunch of work by them done and always pleased by it.  They made a complete custom bow cover for my last boat and have modified the windshield sections and done countless zipper repairs for my 342.  Nice people.

Holy smokes......... I guess having to replace some eisenglass is not that bad....... Glad everyone is safe.....

Patrick, you got pretty lucky for sure!  Hopefully everyone was ok, as boats can be replaced.  As far as Creations by Taylor, a dock neighbor just told me yesterday (cause I have some things that need repaired) that they are backlogged 10 weeks and their normal canvas person is not there anymore.  Ugggh!  That's what happens to a great place!  Not saying to not go there anymore, but probably not a good time right now, especially with your current needs.

I'd say to check with TJ if you are replacing part of it, because then the rest would still match up to the OEM stuff you have.

@Dream_Inn ream_inn Interesting, I just got a quote from them and I will check to make sure.  Barry is who got back with me who I thought I worked with before.  The holes in the canvas are small so I can wait a bit.

Hooked up with TJ, getting a quote soon.  

Dream_Inn

Yes, Barry is still there.  Actually, the other worker there is just out with a bad back.  Like I said, they are very good there.  Just check on how long it will take.  I may be stopping in as well to get a piece sewed up possibly, hoping it wouldn't take too long.

I got tears in my bimini, my winter cover and my mooring cover all from last year and beginning of this season.  They are going to be getting some business out of me thats for sure.  Thanks John.
