Zippers replaced in two pair of jeans. The work was good and completed on time, however, I thought $48 seemed a little pricey.

Initially, the owner looked at my jacket and stated that he would be able to do some adjustments. After the seamstress looked at it, I was told that those alterations could not be done. A refund was issued. Otherwise, other alterations were done well and the owner was very friendly.

Uniform alterations included hems on pants and skirts and taking skirt in. All looks good, but stiching is visible on skirt hem because it was not done by hand.

They were professional and everything was done on time and as promised. It seemed a bit on the pricey side, but since I don't sew, maybe there was more involved than it looked like to my untrained eye.

There is nothing there now but an empty store. If they relocated it is not indicated on the building or their website. I didn't mean to give them any rating but I was forced to in order to submit this.

When I took my coat into Vic's Alterations, they looked at it and thought that first they would try fixing the zipper which would cost considerably less than replacing it. They called the end of that day to tell me they had tried unsuccessfully to repair the zipper so would need to replace it. They gave me the cost up front and told me when it would be done. The seamstress was very informative, courteous and professional. It was nice of her to check the existing zipper first knowing that it would cost less if it was still workable. She also asked me if I needed the coat back quickly as they would be able to accommodate that if needed. When I went to pick up my coat, I was very pleased with the looks of the replacement and the zipper has been working great. My only surprise was when I mentioned that I had found their shop on Angie's List and read good reviews, she seemed unfamiliar with Angie's List.

Thank you Member for the kind and warm testimonial. Our seamstress may not know that we are listed on Angie's list, nevertheless, our seamstresses work hard at all times, serving all our clients at Vic's Alterations. The good news is that we do the same for all, not just to get a good review on Angies' list. Having said that, we do appreciate your continued patronage and support and we look forwad to serving you again. Vic's management.

see above with regard to services performed....none
Description of Work: 7/19/12 - Contacted via email on a Thursday asking to receive an estimate for hemming 3-4 pairs of slacks and asked if I could come in on Saturday and receive them back by the following weekend (I have a business trip that I needed them for) but it's late Monday and I still have received NO acknowledgement to the email. With people running as fast as they can in today's business world customer service and response time is vital. First impressions are critical. If businesses do not want to be contacted via email, it should NOT be a choice in their profile as people equate it to poor customer service. Sorry.

I do believe that responding to our clients emails is very important to us for many reasons... However, I have a good reason to believe that we did not received an email from Ms. Klein, and if by some happenstance we missed it, we truly apologize and ask to be given a 2nd chance.

Excellent service and great work. This was an inexpensive, relatively simple job (well, for someone who knows how to sew and has the equipment). I appreciate that the people at Vic's treated me as well as if the job were worth much more. They provided me with options for how to do the finishing, they finished on time, and they did the job right. In other words, they're professionals -- and that's who you want handling your alterations! I would definitely use them again.
Description of Work: Cut and hemmed a king-size bedspread to make it a queen-size bedspread.

I dropped them off Wednesday evening and they were ready by Saturday morning. As far as I could tell, they performed high quality work. The pant legs are now the right height and I am a happy customer. They were open later than the other tailors I found on Angie's list, which is why I chose to give them a try.
