Whenever I need any alterations to my clothes, I bring them to Nancy. Now you should understand…read morethat I live about an hour and 45 minutes away from Nancy. And I am sure that there are people in my area who are closer to where I live who I could try out to see if they do a good job. But I don't do that. I periodically visit Conway, and when I do, I visit several places for several different reasons; Home Depot, Lowes, Settlers Green, etc. So, if any of my clothes need alterations, Nancy will be one of the stops that I make on my next visit to Conway. She has a great sense of humor. She is a pleasure to work with. She does a great job. She charges a reasonable price for her work. And she has a reasonable turn-around time. I highly recommend Nancy to anyone needing alterations.

I love this small business! I came here thanks to Yelp, and made sure to check the hours. My first…read moreservice here was for 2 pairs of jeans that were 12$ each to get hemmed, the lowest price for hemming I've encountered in years. I came back with a dress, and Judy ended up being my personal stylist! She helped me realize it couldn't be altered without changing the style of the dress, and brought up that I could get a really gorgeous shirt out of it. I said yes and then she mused that she might be able to make me a skirt of the bottom, and still charged me the $20 she quoted earlier. I've been recommending her all over.she also gets your stuff done in less than a week, even though she's busy. There's always someone there before or after me.

We did have to go with something off the rack that could be altered due to our timeline, but my Mom look adorable and her outfit was perfect. Sandy added a simple beautiful (satin I think) trim to my Mom's top and cardigan, hemmed the pants for her and took in the top so it stayed on my Mom's shoulders (she's very little).

DO NOT EVEN THINK OF SENDING YOUR DRY CLEANING TO THESE DISREPUTABLE, INCOMPETENT, WOULD-BE DRY…read moreCLEANERS. After a major move, I dropped off a new suit and an overcoat at sister laundry mat/dry cleaners, Bangor Street Laundromat, 56 Western Ave., Augusta, ME. From there, it was then sent to John's Green Cleaners, 355 Main St, Lewiston, ME 04240. A week later, John's returned my black suit and overcoat to Bangor Street Laundromat where I discovered that both items were severely heat-damaged: the suit in the lapel, waist area, and front and back shoulders; the overcoat was a mass of wrinkles caused by seams that had shrink considerably and totally deformed and diminished each garment. Overzealous or inexperienced pressing had permanently damaged both items. Owner Greg at first responded to a phone call and asked to be given opportunity to correct matters. I sent the damaged items back to John's for a second pressing attempt. A week later, the still-damaged items were miserably the same. Phone calls to Greg's cell and the business went unanswered for at least two weeks. Finally, I wrote an email including the below photo links demanding the filing of a damages claim. Eventually an unknown "John's Cleaner" employee responded to my email by text (unprofessional) and included a photo of theirs still showing the obviously-damaged suit jacket on their presser with warpage all around. Within the text, John's took no responsibility for having damaged both items, provided no means of filing a damage claim, and offered a self-serving resolution: that I subject further articles of clothing to their abuse and receive a one-time 30% discount. Apparently, Greg sees small claims court as the preferred means to resolve damages disputes with his clients. Do yourself a favor: stay away from Bangor Street and all of John's Green Cleaner's affiliates throughout Maine.
