Gianola Canvas

Gianola Canvas has been around since 1969 and they do the best work by far of any canvas shop! Lia Gianola runs the shop and family members still work here and do incredible work. Since they are so busy and in demand expect that and thank yourself that you were patient and waited for a craftsmen like product when it is delivered. Well worth it if you are particular like me!

I have been promised a repair on my awning since before Christmas an now I am told it just will not happen! Don’t believe them when the say anything! Never use these people!

I have been using Gianola’s for years, but not anymore. I ordered a sail cover and deck bag for my inflatable last April. I put a deposit down and the job was supposed to be filled in a month. Now it’s September, and all I’ve received are excuses why Kenneth hasn’t come by and taken the final measurements for the cover. Almost five months has passed and not even a deck bag. A couple of weeks ago I made an appointment for him to meet me at the boat and he never showed up. No one called or emailed me he wasn’t coming either. I cancelled the order and have yet to receive my deposit back.

They made and installed new slings for my Brown Jordan outdoor patio chairs and did a beautiful job. They had a large assortment of colors to choose from and were so very nice to deal with. I highly recommend!

I agree with Katherine H — you need to be a bit patient as these folks are very busy but the end product is absolutely worth it. We have used Granola Canvas three times to enclose an outside area off of our kitchen and are very pleased with the result. It is very refreshing to deal with a business that clearly cares about its work and the customer’s satisfaction. I have no hesitation in recommending Granola Canvas.

We had an awning installed in our restaurant at Luna Blu in Tiburon & couldn’t be happier with the result. Lia was exceedingly helpful and the crew who installed were a great bunch working around our tight schedule. They were very tidy and our guests love the new awning too! We are really pleased we chose Gianola’s Thank you so much!

I reviewed this company previously and gave them a bad review. They immediately called me and took care of the situation even better than I had hoped. So after that I used them again and their products and service have been exceptional. In fact, I will be using them in a few months as we move to a new location and will need several canvas covers. I will not need to get other quotes as I know their prices equal their products and their service quality levels. I called them originally because of their excellent reputation in Sausalito and was surprised by the problem we had — apparently it was an unusual glitch and I jumped the gun with a bad review before allowing them to take care of things. USE THEM.

The boys from Gianola just left after putting up a new awning and I couldn’t be happier. This is the fourth big awning they have done for us and I highly recommend them. The products they use are the best, and the workmanship is superior. I cant wait to think up another project!

Very hesitant after reading the single-​star review, but met with Lia and saw her shop and that boosted my confidence. Was also referred to Lia by other shops that couldn’t handle a job as large as mine.
Our San Rafael home has a second story porch covered with a good size canopy (10′ x 20′). I brought pictures and measurements to Lia at her shop (very cool shop down by the houseboats). We picked out the canvas and set a date. Her team came when they said they would to take down the old torn canopy and take professional measurements. They gave me an extra week to paint the house above the canopy and then they installed the new top. Looks great, fits perfect. Everything they said they would do they did, on time, on budget. They even left the porch cleaner than they found it. Very happy.
