I brought in a suit I bought online, being new to San Diego I was afraid I'd have to go through several places to find a good tailor, which has been my experience in the prior cities I've lived. Thankfully I found Helen, she got me looking sharp! I was complemented on my suit many times during the wedding day (groomsman). I will gladly refer any of my friends to get their suit tailored here and will definitely be bringing all future suits here. read more

Amazing! Reasonably priced! Quick turnaround. Had a jumper hemmed for a dance and it came out perfect. Will come back with other dresses. Thanks Helen!!! read more

Helen is so talented! My husband comes to her with the oddest requests and she always makes it happen. She has created Halloween costumes for our kids and fixed all kinds of rips and tears. She even somehow added length to the sleeves of a jacket for my son!! read more

I am soo.. proud and happy to review my all time favorite business woman, Helen. I have had jeans hemmed and recently a vest made smaller to fit me. I would never go to any other place for alterations. Her work is professional and she is soo.. friendly and helpful. She is a very beautiful woman inside and out. Paul P. read more

Great job hemming my scrub pants. took two pairs in and they were done in a couple of days. Incredibly friendly staff.

Helen is so sweet & so professional! I come here all the time for alterations on work clothes, casual clothes & dresses/gowns for weddings! So grateful I found her. You can't beat the service and prices!! read more

Very friendly and efficient. Excellent quality of work. Remember to bring cash for payment.

I know what you're thinking, "what is so special about a tailor?" But I'm here to tell you Fletcher Hills is top-notch! I brought in a jumpsuit I needed altered for a dance performance, and it needed to be bootylicious. I went in nervous that I was going to be judged heavily for what I was asking for, but Helen made me feel so much better. She was so welcoming and helpful! I picked up my jumpsuit a week later and it was PERFECT! The price was so reasonable, I was absolutely beyond pleased with this experience from start to finish. I'll be bringing all of my alteration needs here from now on! read more

I have a winter jacket I recently wore when the weather became cold and windy. I had difficulty with the zipper that I thought was broken. I took the jacket to Fletcher Hills Alterations and Helen enlightened me about the zipper, explaining it was a "double zipper" and demonstrated how to use it. I really appreciated her honesty and am thanking her by writing this review. read more

I'm so glad that I stopped by here to have Helen look at my sweater. She was so kind, thoughtful, and honest about what she could do,, and about whether it would be worth it to me. We had a frank discussion about this, and this kind of honesty and conscientiousness regarding what is truly best for the customer, as well as her gracious way of communicating it is so appreciated, especially in these days of technological alienation. Personal service will never go out of style! read more

Helen is amazing and very talented! I've taken dresses to be hemmed, taken in, expanded. She does it all!

I LOVE Helen! I need to attend a party and wear Indian dress. I found a dress that's too large for me and needed to find one one to do the alteration for me. I found this shop on Yelp with great reviews and called to see if they would do the last minute project for me. Helen was super friendly and the phone and in person. It was so amazing seeing her greeted everyone walked in by their names! She remembers everyone's name! The place is so clean and well decorated. She is very professional and I love her energy! It makes you happy just being there with her! I like how my dress turned out. Will definitely come back! read more

I have been coming to Fletcher Hills Alteration for over 10 years and Helen is an absolute sweetheart not to mention talented. I did not need to try on my tapered pants I picked up today because I trust she knows what she's doing...they look amazing on by the way. Thanks Helen! read more

This alterations shop is one of the best! Great price, great results! Helen and her staff are so helpful and kind. They are courteous and if you have any requests or ideas, they will give you suggestions or advice to achieve what you are looking for. I have been here twice and I have been very pleased with the service and results. read more

I don't normally write a review but customer service here was so exceptional, I just had to come here and give her a 5 star. She always does exactly what I would asked her to do and never fails to meet my expectations and like what other reviewer have said, it's at a reasonable price. I came back few weeks later to get my clothes hemmed and iron again and on my second visit, I was shocked she remembered my name. I thought to myself, "Wow, she has a good memory." She also has a beautiful smile when you walk in which is a plus. I'm going to keep coming back here to get my clothes hemmed and iron done. Like I said, she does a great job with an exceptional customer service but you don't have to take my word for it, find out yourself. pros: exceptional customer service, fast, accurate, reasonable price, friendly cute cozy atmosphere. cons: cash only read more

I'm officially in love. Nope, it's not a new man, it's a tailor... Helen is AMAZING! I brought in a fancy dress I needed altered in less than a week. She didn't bat an eye. She showed me all the work we needed to do, went over everything with me in detail & gave me a price & a time to pick up. Easy as pie. I picked up my dress today and it's perfect! She even pressed it. It's amazing and I'm never going anywhere else for alterations!!! read more

Fletcher Hills Alteration - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - El Cajon, California

Just had 2 dresses hemmed and they did an amazing job. The fabric was a 4 way stretch fabric which is a little tough to get a good hem on but they look great. Not they were quick. I dropped them off at noon on Friday and they were done by 11 Sat. Quick, efficient, nice, friendly, and priced right. Definitely recommend. read more

I took my fiancé here to get his pants hemmed for a wedding we were attending. She was so fast and it was such a wonderful price. The lady is sooo nice and sweet. Her prices are half of what they estimated me at David's bridal for my sisters bridesmaid dress. Will continue to come back again and again. The service is wonderful and the prices are great! What else could you ask for?! read more

Helen is so talented and she is just the sweetest, happiest thing! I needed my jeans taken in at the waist, and she got the job done in just 2 or 3 days and she did a perfect job!

Don't think twice, just go to Helen! She is seriously the absolute best- a magic maker. She saved the day on my wedding dress and helped me figure out a way to make the top not see through on a silk dress, she matches the original hem on your jeans when you need them shortened. She's just the best. Have been going to her for years, from prom, to weddings, to every day needs- her and her team NEVER disappoints! read more

I needed a brand new formal dress altered in less than a week. I wanted to take it somewhere local and with strong consistent reviews so I could bring future business there as well. I took the dress to Fletcher Hills Alteration after reading many of the positive reviews. I came prepared wearing the undergarments I would wear with the dress and the shoes I intended to wear. Helen pleasantly greeted me when I came in and offered her assistance. She told me I could pick up the day of the event. It made me a little nervous but I was ok with it. When I came to pick up the dress even though she was occupied with a wedding party she stepped aside to give me my dress. She impressed me by remembering me and quickly attending to me so I wouldn't have to wait. Her prices are very reasonable and I would love to come here again for my alteration needs. read more

I needed to find a new tailor near my new job. I gave this place a shot and I'm extremely impressed. The shop is clean bright and organized. Helen is friendly, and asked when I wanted my sport coat and two pairs of pants back. I asked for 6 days turn around time, the morning of the 6th day Helen text me my clothes are ready! Folks, she text me, have you ever had a tailor anywhere not only be done on time but actually reach out to you to let you know? WOW. When I picked up my clothes, they were perfect. Thank you Helen, so happy to have found you :). read more

Helen was very helpful and sweet. I picked up the dresses 3 days later and they were perfect. Thank you Helen

Helen was super sweet and accommodating. My dress was done quickly and I was surprised at how low the price was! She also referred me to another place for something else I needed done because she didn't want to overcharge me, showing she has the customers best interest and is very honest and not just trying to take your money. Would highly recommend! read more

Helen is amazing. She does great seamstress work and always does the job in an extremely timely manner. Her customer service is excellent and she remembers me every time I come in. Have been consistently coming here for 2 years for clothing repair and adjusting sizes. Never been disappointed. read more

I made the right decision choosing to come here! Although I have lived in the Lake Murray area for about six years, an occasion where I needed a simple pants hem hadn't come up. However, due to health complications (not good) and losing a lot of weight (yay!) I was finally ready to get back into some denim. Helen was very understanding and got two pairs ready for me very quickly. The last pair that were not as needed were still ready in less than a week. Nothing against stretchy pants, but it sure felt good to walk out in jeans that actually fit my stubby legs! Additionally, her pricing is unbelievably reasonable for such high quality work/service and her shop is cute and inviting. I will most likely be back again soon with a dress for some alterations and now have a go-to place for my jeans. I very much recommend Fletcher Hills Alteration over any of the other close tailoring/alteration shops in the area that I initially called. This is the place! read more

So welcoming and kind! After having a bad experience earlier with another tailor, I couldn't believe how much a turn around this place was. I will behaving her for all my alterations and would recommend to everyone! read more

Helen is wonderful!! Her work is amazing and finishes pretty quickly! I took something in on Monday and she had it altered in no time!!

You will not be disappointed. read more

I just had my 3rd suit altered here. Two of the jackets and a vest needed quite a bit of alterations to bit correctly. All three now fit like they were custom made.

Quick, impeccableand, and very resonable service. I went in with a dress that I wasn't sure could be mended and walked out 10 minutes later with a dress that looked like new. This was my first visit, but I will definitely be back for any future tailoring needs. read more
