Reflections Custom Refinishing

I have been meaning to write this for Skip for many months now! I was at work one morning when I noticed my front side of my passengers side of the car had what looked like deep pink paint all over the front of my car. I was beside myself and had no clue as to how this had happened. I drove over to a body shop to have them look at it and was not impressed. Somehow and I know it was divine timing because I got back in my car and was looking for places on my navigation system, which had not been updated for a while, and the places I called were disconnected and then I heard the calm voice of Skip. I told him my situation. I was upset and he was so nice, but more importantly, I told him where I was and he did not bad mouth where I was, he just explained in great detail about paints and the careful process that is involved and, it was over my head, yet I knew in an instant he was the one to bring my car to. He told me he had a really busy schedule, but to bring it over as he was running an errand and would be back shortly. I brought it over and I really do not remember all the details of how he was going to fix it, yet what I remember, is he knew I wanted to get this fixed like yesterday. Somehow he fit me into his schedule that day. His price was more than reasonable and MY CAR LOOKED LIKE NOTHING AND I MEAN NOTHING WAS EVER WRONG WITH IT! The paint was truly a match beyond matches and as previously stated his work was «second to none». Also, what I liked about Skip was that his young son was at the shop and he was just so great with him and I could tell he was a good father and then on our drive back to my job, we had in common parents that are anomalies for how long they have been together, my parents just celebrated 52 happy years together and his were together a long time too, oh and his mom was an amazing woman who broke the glass ceiling, if I do recall. Maybe too much TMI, point is I like to give genuine people my business and SKIP is genuine!
I would recommend his shop even if you lived in LA! Thanks Skip for turning my day around!

I too have have a 29ft center console that was damaged when I launched the boat over a large swell and cracked the hull. I was referred to Reflections through a friend and was very impressed with the quality of work and attention to detail that Skip puts into the repairs for his clients. His knowledge of product and the technique he uses to match and perform the toughest of jobs is 2^nd to none! Skip goes above and beyond the call of duty with his ability and works well with insurance claims adjusters and the servayor’s to make for a smooth transition between insurance company’s and clients. The boat was repaired and still to this date has been flawless from many offshore trips. You can’t go wrong with Reflections for your boat repair. All aspects of boating and painting skills are top knotch! I’ve used Skip on several occasions and will continue to use his company for any boating related issue I have! A+++

Mt 26 foot boat needed a major repair to the transom. My transom had leaked and was water logged and rotten. I needed my 225 HP outboard engine temporarily removed with the big bracket, and the entire transom removed and replaced. After meeting with a number of other boat/​fiberglass and paint companies, I chose Reflections. Skip (the owner) has been doing this type of work for 20 years and had incredible recommendations for previous customers I found form searching on sites like
.
He would quarterback the whole project not only the transom work, but having a reputable company remove my 18,000 $ engine and all the pumps, hydraulic lines etc. He also had my aluminum engine bracket powder-​coated while the work was being done for a great price (he has connections everywhere).
Reflections paid attention to every detail. The job turned out better than originally done by the boat manufacturer. He matched 10 year old paint perfectly. The transom was laid up the right way, in layers, with resin sealing ever hole (scuppers, drain hole, rigging tube, engine bracket bolt holes etc). He used new parts like new SS engine bracket bolts, new scuppers, new fuel filter/​water separator, new fuel lines etc. The repair turned out fantastic. Every detail was perfect.
Now for the extra credit: I had turned in an insurance claim to cover this repair which was rejected. Skip fought the insurance company on my behalf (he knows how to deal with these companies and the surveyors they hire). He had an independent boat surveyor come out and Skip educated him on exactly how the damage occurred and how he would repair it, in stages– the right way– from inside the hull to not compromise the hull, and explained to the surveyor and insurance company that the initial price may not be the final price because you can’t see how much of the transom needs replacing until you start ripping it apart. He had the insurance pay for the inspection, and after removing some of the transom, we all saw that the entire transom needed to be replaced. He battled the surveyor and the insurance for me and in the end, he had them pay for the entire repair. I just paid the 250 $ deductible.
They did a repair for a friend of mine and that repair turned out fantastic also. The paint matching was second to nobody!
