I was looking for a tailor on Yelp and kept going back and forth on who to trust with my suits. I'd put on a few pounds, everything felt tight, and I was honestly expecting to hear, "you should just buy new ones." I decided to try Ben, and I'm glad I did. He looked everything over, explained what could be let out and what made sense to adjust, and kept it simple. No pressure, just straight answers. Then he surprised me, he said he could have two suits ready the next day. I picked them up, tried them on, and they fit comfortably again while still looking sharp. The stitching is clean, the price was fair, and the whole process was easy. I'll be back, and I'm recommending him to anyone who needs tailoring. Thanks Ben! read more

I had Ben alter a onesie for me (I know, kind of a strange request, but I wanted to match someone else and none of the sizes fit my body). He did a great job and finished in 2 days, despite me being in no rush to get it done. The price was very reasonable and he did a really great job. He works out of an attached unit in the back of his home. I felt a little weird walking around to the back of his house my first time going there, but he was there and it was fine, so don't be worried. read more

Ben did a great job doing alterations on my dresses. You can tell he is detail-oriented and love what he does. We are so happy we found him. Thank you, Ben! read more

Excellent service by Ben. I needed my zipper repaired and he was efficient and incredibly polite.

So, I can't speak to how his alterations are for clothing or other items since I've never had any of those services, but as far as zipper repair goes Ben is the best! However, when I was picking up my item, there was another client picking up a dress and it looked beautiful. I had purchased a brand new piercing pillow that has two holes through the center and the pillowcase has zippers around each of the holes and both of the zipper pulls unzipped completely into my hand when I attempted to zip them for the first time. Others said my zippers could not be repaired and had to be replaced, but Ben not only fixed my zippers quickly, he was also reasonably priced. He did notify me the zippers themselves are not quality, but he was able to repair both of them and showed me how to use them correctly. I would definitely come back if I needed any other type of alteration. His shop is in the back of a residential area and it was clean with lots of natural lighting read more

Ben hemmed 5 pairs of pants for me. Service was great and everything turned out perfect! Can't beat his prices - I even tried to give him a tip, but he politely declined. You can't even tell these were hemmed and original hems were kept/replicated. One pair of pants had a particular stitch and fold and he hemmed it so well, I cannot tell at all! 10/10 recommend. read more

So lucky and grateful to have found Ben for my wide leg pant alterations. He's an exceptional tailor providing excellent service at the very best prices. Ben is a talented professional who will make sure you are satisfied with your clothing investments. I purchased several pairs of wide leg pants from Earthbound online and when I received them I was disappointed to find that they were several inches too long and would trip me while I walked and dragged on the ground. I dropped them off with Ben on Friday expecting to hear back in a week or so. He texted me the next day to let me know my pants were ready for pick up! Once I arrived and tried them back on with the new hems I realized I still wanted them to be a little shorter and Ben happily obliged. He pinned up the cuffs while I wore them to ensure the alterations were perfect and had all of the new hems completed the following Monday. I couldn't be happier with the service, value, and attention I received from Ben and I highly recommend Garment Alteration by Ben to anyone in search of a fantastic tailor at unbeatable prices. read more

Visit Ben for all your alteration needs! I found Ben on Yelp & reached out to him for a quote. He gave a very reasonable quote compared to others. Ben does alterations in an ADU? in his home. It is super cool because it is like a store with changing rooms & a counter to check out. He is very professional, kind & takes great care of your garments. He was able to get my skirt done in just a couple of days & it was done perfectly! Thank you! I will definitely be coming back! read more

Ben was awesome! He communicates quickly, answers any questions you have, and is flexible on timing for drop-off/pick-up. He tailored 2 suits for me, and in the process actually recommended I not make certain alterations in order for it to look better. That showed me he's not trying to charge for unnecessary services. The finished product (two suit jackets and one pair of pants) looked fantastic and done at a very reasonable price. Thanks Ben!! read more

I had such a wonderfully positive experience with Ben. I was in a pinch to have a sequin gown altered, and he did this quickly, affordable, and was incredibly kind and friendly.

Ben was very quick with his work, and very flexible with everything. He helped me with my suit for prom and in such short notice, but luckily was able to and it came out perfect.

I reached out to Ben as I just received some over sized polo shirts and I wanted them brought in. I made an appointment for the next morning. Location was easy to find and he made it easy to come in and tell me what I needed done. It honestly took him about 2 min to show me what needed to be done, which made it easier for me to not have to stand around and wait to get a better idea what needed to be done to make my shirts fit on me better. I dropped them off on a Saturday morning said it could be a few days latest Tuesday, he had them done by Monday before my trip. I came over and he handed me all 3 shirts but I honestly only had to try one, and has I put my hands in it to open the shirt to put over my head, I already knew it was going to be a perfect fit. For the time it took him to measure me, pin it up to dropping off the shirt and getting them back to me totally worth the money and time. Thank you Ben for making this experience easy and seamless, will continue to use him for anything I need tailored. The one on the left is how it came to me, the right is after it was tailor, such a big difference in how it feels on me read more

Ben did an amazing job with the alterations. Everything was done right and quickly, at a very reasonable price. I highly recommend!

I have only the most favorable things to say about my experience working on a large order of 14 pairs of pants (different types of materials-jeans, sweat pants, specialty holiday pants, and tech pants) that needed to be taken in at the waist and some pairs also hemmed due to a recent weight loss surgery. Additionally, I brought in three suit jackets (one holiday jacket in a strange material) that Ben tailored to perfection. I am very grateful and I made sure to take a stack of business cards to share around the community. I obtained a quote via Yelp for basic services that might be needed and found his prices extremely reasonable! I arrived at his shop at a prescribed appointment time after work and he quickly pinned each of the items and wrote me a basic inventory of what work was needed and a price. He said it may take a couple weeks and he was actually completed with the work in a week! I was both surprised and extremely happy to get my clothing back, fully fitting, and at a fair price. He even helped me get the order into my car. There were no surprises and I was able to pay with my credit card for all services rendered. I let Ben know that I would be bringing more pieces for alteration, as I will continue to lose weight and want to keep the wardrobe that I have carefully selected for further use. Thank you very much! read more

Ben responded to a bidding request for hemming here on Yelp, and I am so glad that he responded! His pricing was so competitive that I had to try his service, and I am so glad I did. He hemmed two pants for me and did an excellent job! The hems came out better than the original on my pants. Not only was his work done professionally, his customer service skills were also outstanding. Ben is a very gentle person with a gracious personality. His tailor shop is fully equipped and very welcoming. I can't say enough good things about Ben. If you have any kind of tailoring needs, give Ben a try I assure you that you will be very happy. We will only use Ben from here on. read more
