Boat
Shrink-Wrapping

From oil changes to full-service and warranty repair, Brightwell's Boathouse is here for all of your service needs. Even if you did not purchase your boat, motor, or trailer from us, we still welcome your service business and will treat you as fairly as every other customer.

Shrink-wrapping is one of the most effective ways to protect your boat during the off-season. Iowa winters bring harsh conditions that can take a real toll on exposed boats — moisture works its way into upholstery, UV deteriorates gelcoat, and debris accumulates in places that are difficult to clean come spring. A professionally installed shrink-wrap forms a tight, breathable seal around your entire vessel, keeping the elements out while allowing trapped moisture to escape through strategically placed vents. The result is a boat that comes out of storage in the same condition it went in.

At Brightwell's Boathouse, our shrink-wrap installations are done properly and built to last through the full storage season. We custom fit each wrap to the specific dimensions and shape of your boat, ensuring full coverage from bow to stern with no gaps or loose sections that could tear in the wind. Venting is included as a standard part of every installation to prevent condensation buildup inside the wrap, which is one of the most common causes of mold and mildew damage during long-term storage. Whether you are storing your boat outdoors in a driveway or at our facility in Grimes, a professionally wrapped boat is far better protected than one left under a tarp or uncovered.

We want you and your family back on the water as quickly and easily as possible when spring arrives. A properly wrapped boat is easier to de-winterize, cleaner to commission, and ready to launch with far less preparation work. Our technicians are kept up to date with the latest techniques and materials, and we encourage you to contact our service department in Grimes to schedule your shrink-wrap installation before the storage season fills up. Early scheduling ensures your boat is protected before the first hard freeze.
