Top To Bottom Inc

Top to Bottom cleaned the bottom of my boat. They did a great job and communication was clear and timely. I will be using their services going forward.
Rob Madden
I bought an older trawler and needed to get it pulled out, cleaned, and new bottom paint applied. From scheduling to delivery Patrick has been very friendly, informative and helpful in navigating to marina to modifying my request to add on removing some old boat graphics! I’m excited to see the results, so far they’ve been great and a very positive experience and would recommend them.

Detailed our Nordic Tug making it look like new, which contributed to a quick sale immediately. Top to Bottom was great to work with no hesitation in their good service; recommend them to many.
Karen Racich
Top To Bottom managed a haul out for bottom painting and topside polishing for me and did a marvelous job. I didn't have to do anything, they took the boat from my slip, did the work, and returned it back to the slip. I was very pleased with the work they did, which was quality all the way. The crew was a pleasure to work with, friendly, helpful and responsive. I will be back again, that's for sure!

These guys are great.
Bret Simmons
Top to Bottom is a bold stand-out in the industry. There is nothing more frustrating than paying 'boat prices' for work that isn't marine-grade, in terms of knowledge and execution. That won't happen with Top to Bottom. You know if you call on these chaps, you are getting experienced professionals who aren't cutting corners. They do what they say they are going to do, when they say they will do it, and they do it well. That seemingly simple combination of attributes these days is as rare as a sunburn in December. Thank you to Patrick for outstanding communication, accommodation, and professionalism.

Richard Van Kolken
Top to Bottom has a core group of extremely capable guys that can address pretty much any boat repair/maintenance need you may have. My most recent haul-out with them was once again exceptional -- they went out of their way to accommodate my needs when it wasn't altogether convenient for them, got me in their shed, and got some critical repairs and painting done for me when I came to them for help. Can't recommend these guys highly enough.
Ted Berg
Patrick and his crew were very quick not just getting a quote out. Also an excellent water heater replacement job, it worked perfectly.

Michael Tario
Top to Bottom was recommended by Bellingham Yachts to give my CW28 a fresh bottom paint job. At the same time they also shined up the blue hull ( removed light oxidation, polishing and waxing). It’s just like new. The entire team did an outstanding job. Excellent communications before, during and after. Great people to work with. Highly recommend. Mark.
Mark Jones

Gregg Hill

Not only would i recommend them (I have) i already plan on hiring them over the winter for some other projects.
Dennis Papa
Been working with Roger for years. His company is awesome.
Rogan Jones
Patrick and the Top to Bottom crew did a great job with our 20+ year old sailboat - it literally sparkled like new when they were done with it! In addition we had a critical system failure while the boat was waiting for us to pick it up - NOTHING TO DO WITH THE WORK DONE BY TOP TO BOTTOM - and they jumped right in to resolve the problem and get us back on the water. Just the best!
Justin Jones
My boat came out looking like new. Good communication, flexible and acomodating, great customer service and top notch work. Can’t recommend Patrick enough. Thank you!
D Platt

Jamal Charters Inc. has worked with Top To Bottom since the 1980s. Roger and his son Patrick have always produced superior quality services for our 200 ton, high-end ocean going Luxury Charter vessel. There is a higher standard of pride, personableness, and productivity when working with a local family-owned company. Top To Bottom is number one, in my experience and professional opinion. Thank you, Roger and Patrick! You and your crew have always been here for me, and for that, I am forever grateful. I look forward to many more years of working together in the future. Jennifer C.

Special thanks to Roger, Patrick, Mike, Graham, Chad, and the rest of the team at Top to Bottom for keeping our boat in excellent shape. I highly recommend Top to Bottom!

I've been using Top To Bottom since they started doing business. They have been very accommodating and willing to do the work the way I have wanted it done. End results have been excellent. When questions arose regarding billing, requested adjustments were made. They are expensive, but if you want the best, look no further.
Paul Herbold
Top to Bottom was fantastic! They helped us solve a tricky problem (large steel beam that fell and was hanging out over the water and removing several underwater pilings) that had been plaguing our family for years. We are so relieved to have these things removed and grateful for the quality of work and attention to detail that Top to Bottom provided.
Mia Ellis
Great service, I am definitely a repeat customer A++++++
Jim Sanford
Top To Bottom waxed topside on our trawler. One of the better jobs I’ve seen. They also did a good job last haul out. Will use them again.
John Beatty
I'd like to thank Roger and Top to bottom for going the extra mile in helping me get back on the water. Two days before leaving on a two week cruise I found my engine thru hull leaking, Roger arranged for a hull out and we fixed the the thru hull the next day and had me in the water in two. Professional job, no questions other than how can I help you! I can't thank Roger enough!!
Don Goldgerg

I recently had my 35-foot boat hauled out and bottom painted by Top to Bottom. They were very quick and professional. They did outstanding work!
Steve McNickle
Top to Bottom was great to work with getting my new-to-us Carver 300 up to shape after 3 years of neglect. The benefits they offer are; 1) enclosed shed which allows work in all weather conditions 2) customers /boat owners are allowed access to their shed and tools any time to work on various boat systems. Additionally, their crew’s experience/knowledge with bottom paint, fiberglass & detailing becomes at the completion of the project.
D. Vermeeren
Excellent service for bottom paint, hull wax, running gear paint, and zinc service on my 35 powerboat. They have a heated indoor work space in Bellingham, WA for work during the cold weather. Great value. I highly recommend Top To Bottom.
Cale Mathers
The boat looks great and both Patrick and Roger were very helpful (met me at their boathouse on a Saturday since when I arrived Friday to move the boat it was blowing 40+kts).

Top To Bottom continually exceeds our expectations! MSRC has consistently relied on them to maintain the undercoating of many of our vessels and they prove themselves year after year. From quality to customer service Top To Bottom is A True 5 Star Company.
Chad Huntley
Top-to-Bottom does remarkable work. Our boat (1995 Eastbay Grand Banks) looks like new when their work is complete. After picking up my boat for the season last week I headed over to the fuel dock for a fill. Two boats were there when I arrived and both skippers commented separately on the remarkable appearance of our boat. Makes a skipper smile!
Steven Spence
Wanted to give a quick shout-out to the entire crew at Top-To-Bottom for the recent work they did on our 34’ Mainship Pilot. This is the second time we’ve had them do our bottom-painting and brightwork. From start to finish these guys are second to none. The whole process was both SEAMLESS & PAINLESS and the quality of work was once again top-notch. It’s always the little things that impress me the most and these guys were firing on all cylinders in that regard. It’s so refreshing to be able to communicate with the owners and staff with such speed and precision — which I think we’ll agree is becoming more and more the exception than the rule. I highly recommend Top-To-Bottom…we couldn’t be happier with their professionalism and more importantly, the outstanding results from the work they did on our boat. Cheers to Roger / Patrick / Micaiah / & Graham

Top to Bottom and Diversified Diving do an A+ job. Always very pleased with the results.
Rand Stevens
I had quite a few big and little projects to get done on my new (old) boat. Roger and his team took great care of the boat and me as the project went along. Everything was done flawlessly. The thing I like about Top to Bottom is that it's a one stop shop. If a particular part of the job is not their area of expertise, a referral is arranged to be done while the boat is in their care. Great job!
Mary Rose Diefenderfer
I had received a frightening over blown estimate from Sea View and Roger from Top to Bottom saved the day. He knew my boat was out of the water and time was ticking $$$. He met with me on a Saturday and reassured me that he could do the job in a reasonable time/cost frame. His comments and questions lined up w/ my research and I knew I was in good hands. The following Monday I got a phone call that the first phase was complete. It took about 45 mins (which Sea View had estimated 16hrs). In a couple of days the entire job was done. Roger kept me informed and gave me good advice. He talked me out of a few things that would have made him more money, but wasn't in my best interest. I HIGHLY recommend. Work: Replaced drive shaft, cutlass bearing, PSS dripless seal without dropping my rudder on my Catalina 34 sailboat.

Chris Vazquez
These guys are amazing. I've used them a few times for bottom cleaning and zincs. This last time, not only did they manage to squeeze in my last minute request for a cleaning dive during their busiest week, they noticed one of my props was loose ( thanks to a prior vendor I don't use anymore ) and got it tightened back up securely, saving me an easy $3000 issue and a ruined vacation. Thanks guys!

They helped us solve a tricky problem (large steel beam that fell and was hanging out over the water and removing several underwater pilings) that had been plaguing our family for years. We are so relieved to have these things removed and grateful for the quality of work and attention to detail that Top to Bottom provided.

Great service, I am definitely a repeat customer A++++++

Top To Bottom waxed topside on our trawler. One of the better jobs I’ve seen. They also did a good job last haul out. Will use them again.
John Beatty
I'd like to thank Roger and Top to bottom for going the extra mile in helping me get back on the water. Two days before leaving on a two week cruise I found my engine thru hull leaking, Roger arranged for a hull out and we fixed the the thru hull the next day and had me in the water in two. Professional job, no questions other than how can I help you! I can't thank Roger enough!!

David Marod
I will go back to these guys again and again. There were the top recommendation of everyone in the community that I talked to and the work they did proved it. Roger went above and beyond in helping out, giving advice, and just being an all-around great guy.

Outstanding service and top notch work!

I recently had my 35-foot boat hauled out and bottom painted by Top to Bottom. They were very quick and professional. They did outstanding work!
Steve McNickle
Top to Bottom was great to work with getting my new-to-us Carver 300 up to shape after 3 years of neglect. The benefits they offer are; 1) enclosed shed which allows work in all weather conditions 2) customers /boat owners are allowed access to their shed and tools any time to work on various boat systems. Additionally, their crew’s experience/knowledge with bottom paint, fiberglass & detailing becomes at the completion of the project.

Excellent service for bottom paint, hull wax, running gear paint, and zinc service on my 35 powerboat. They have a heated indoor work space in Bellingham, WA for work during the cold weather. Great value. I highly recommend Top To Bottom.
Cale Mathers
The boat looks great and both Patrick and Roger were very helpful (met me at their boathouse on a Saturday since when I arrived Friday to move the boat it was blowing 40+kts).

We have used Top to Bottom for 3 years to wax and polish our topsides and apply All Wash and All Care to our hull which is painted with AWLGRIP. They have consistently done a great job and paid attention to detail. They have completed the work within the time we’ve agreed upon.
Darlene Gidley
These guys have always been there for me for the last 15 + years. They have delivered exceptional service to handle preventive maintenance and emergencies! Without qualification, I recommend Top to Bottom for any boat related maintenance and repair.

Top To Bottom continually exceeds our expectations! MSRC has consistently relied on them to maintain the undercoating of many of our vessels and they prove themselves year after year. From quality to customer service Top To Bottom is A True 5 Star Company.
Chad Huntley
Top-to-Bottom does remarkable work. Our boat (1995 Eastbay Grand Banks) looks like new when their work is complete. After picking up my boat for the season last week I headed over to the fuel dock for a fill. Two boats were there when I arrived and both skippers commented separately on the remarkable appearance of our boat. Makes a skipper smile!
Steven Spence
Wanted to give a quick shout-out to the entire crew at Top-To-Bottom for the recent work they did on our 34’ Mainship Pilot. This is the second time we’ve had them do our bottom-painting and brightwork. From start to finish these guys are second to none. The whole process was both SEAMLESS & PAINLESS and the quality of work was once again top-notch. It’s always the little things that impress me the most and these guys were firing on all cylinders in that regard. It’s so refreshing to be able to communicate with the owners and staff with such speed and precision — which I think we’ll agree is becoming more and more the exception than the rule. I highly recommend Top-To-Bottom…we couldn’t be happier with their professionalism and more importantly, the outstanding results from the work they did on our boat. Cheers to Roger / Patrick / Micaiah / & Graham

Top to Bottom and Diversified Diving do an A+ job. Always very pleased with the results.
Rand Stevens
I had quite a few big and little projects to get done on my new (old) boat. Roger and his team took great care of the boat and me as the project went along. Everything was done flawlessly. The thing I like about Top to Bottom is that it's a one stop shop. If a particular part of the job is not their area of expertise, a referral is arranged to be done while the boat is in their care. Great job!
Mary Rose Diefenderfer
I had received a frightening over blown estimate from Sea View and Roger from Top to Bottom saved the day. He knew my boat was out of the water and time was ticking $$$. He met with me on a Saturday and reassured me that he could do the job in a reasonable time/cost frame. His comments and questions lined up w/ my research and I knew I was in good hands. The following Monday I got a phone call that the first phase was complete. It took about 45 mins (which Sea View had estimated 16hrs). In a couple of days the entire job was done. Roger kept me informed and gave me good advice. He talked me out of a few things that would have made him more money, but wasn't in my best interest. I HIGHLY recommend. Work: Replaced drive shaft, cutlass bearing, PSS dripless seal without dropping my rudder on my Catalina 34 sailboat.

These guys are amazing. I've used them a few times for bottom cleaning and zincs. This last time, not only did they manage to squeeze in my last minute request for a cleaning dive during their busiest week, they noticed one of my props was loose ( thanks to a prior vendor I don't use anymore ) and got it tightened back up securely, saving me an easy $3000 issue and a ruined vacation. Thanks guys!
