This is my go to tailoring place. I've been to a lot of tailors over the years, and one of the biggest things I look for is attention to detail. Too many places rush through alterations or miss the small things that make a difference. They take their time, pay attention to the details, and consistently do quality work. They can be a little pricey depending on what you need done, but in my opinion, you get what you pay for. I'd rather spend a little more and have something done correctly than deal with sloppy alterations that need to be fixed later. If you're particular about fit, quality, and craftsmanship, this is the best tailoring shop I've found in the area. read more

I found this tailor completely by accident and was so surprised they were less than a mile from my house! After being turned down by so many tailors because they were too backed up, I was relieved to find this place. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I walked in. I needed 4 pretty expensive Polo shirts hemmed, so I wanted to make sure I chose a highly rated tailor who would do quality work. They absolutely did not disappoint. Everything was finished on time, and the workmanship was beautiful and very professional. You can really tell they care about the details and take pride in their work. So happy I found this hidden gem -- highly recommend! read more

I have been going to Portola Tailoring for all my tailoring needs for many years now. Besides all the pants, dresses , skirts, and tee shirts they have shortened for me, they even tightened a favorite ball cap of my husbands so it fit better! Always friendly, always reasonably priced... they are the best! read more

I've brought my Jiu Jitsu belt here several times to have new degree stripes sewn on, and every single time Portola Tailoring delivers perfect work. They're fast, the stitching is clean, and the stripes always come out looking even and professional. What I appreciate most is the consistency--no matter when I come in, the quality is the same. They treat even a small job like mine with the same care you'd expect for a full suit alteration for an affordable price. If you need any tailoring done, especially something that requires attention to detail, this is the place. Highly recommend. read more

AMAZING!!! Without hesitation will bring in all my pants to get hemmed here. My jeans now fit like a GLOVE!! My pants were also due to be completed Saturday and I called Thursday morning saying oops I actually need the today by 3 he said come by in an hour! Super impressed with this place. Thank you!! read more

They did an amazing job! I had ordered two custom fitted dress shirts online. When the shirts, the sleeves were a little too long. So I tucked them away to deal with at a future date. Then I dropped over 40 pounds and now nothing about the shirts fit, but I really loved the design. So I brought both shirts in along with two new pairs of pants that just needed simple hems with cuffs. Basically, they were going to have to disassemble the shirts completely and rebuild them. The sleeves needed to be shortened and brought in tighter the full length of the arm. And both side seams needed to be brought in to make the shirt more narrow/fitted. They had everything done in a week. And I cannot give a big enough compliment on how well they turned out. They did beautiful work! The shirts fit like a glove, and I've been given several compliments when wearing them. I paid roughly $200 which I know sounds like a lot. It's more than I spent on the clothing to begin with. But with that said, I also recognize how challenging reconstructing these shirts would be. And I recognize the talent it takes to do that level of work. I definitely feel like I got my moneys worth on this one. Now just pray for me... That I don't put the weight back on! Lol read more

Omg!!! I wish I could give more stars. My boyfriend broke my dress clasps the day of this wedding. This Tailor was amazing, they got me in right away and fixed the dress within 40 minutes because I was on such a time crunch. I seriously recommend this tailor to everyone and he did such a great job too. I'm definitely coming back. read more

I won't go any place else for my tailoring. I trust them wholly with my all of my clothing. They are so very nice here also. Work quality is excellent. I don't know how their prices compare to other places because Portola Tailoring is the only place I go. read more

Great professional service. I highly recommend this location for all of your tailoring needs.

I had my Suit altered there and he charged me $78 which I thought was high Went to the wedding and the sleeves weren't long enough Might be my fault but I wanted the sleeves to be lengthened He wanted to charge me $50 to fix the issue. I walked out telling him I would yelp him I could hear him yelling as I was walking out He then followed me out to the parking lot to argue his point Why would you follow a customer I will never come back or recommend his place I was willing to pay to fix it but $50 was a ripoff This guy is so unprofessional read more

Service and quality of work is always top notch. Love that the prices are reasonable and they are local!

The service was amazing!! really nice guy and it was a low price for how good my dress came out!!

I brought my son's karate jacket here to have the patches sewn on, they originally said it would take a couple of days but then when I explained it was so important to my son to get it back more quickly for his next class, they were able to do it quickly. I really appreciate this customer service, going above and beyond. I have also had other items tailored here and the work has always been great. I believe the fees are pretty standard compared to any other place. read more

Quick service without an appointment and answered phone, well tailored suit and shirt, turned around inside of a week and open on weekends to accommodate groomsman for wedding read more

I've been going here for quite a while. But after my most recent trip, prices have gotten out of control. Go somewhere else. Im taking my business elsewhere. read more

I dropped off my jean to have it taken in at the waist, but when I went to pick it up, it was still too big. The guy who helped me was rude and shouted a lot in a language I didn't understand. He said he would correct it, but it would take a week. When I picked up my jean again, it was busy, so I couldn't try it on, and now it's still too big. They charged me $50, but he didn't do anything. Be careful of that guy over there; he's terrible! read more

Went in just last week to get a bridesmaid dress altered and picked it up a week later. They did an amazing job for $64 which I thought was reasonable. They are super friendly and I will definitely come back in the future. Thank you! read more

I was on a tight schedule and needed my FA Uniform altered before my next trip. I called and talked to James. They are closed on the day I was returning but I needed it before I left on my next trip. Didn't think to ask if they offer 1 day turnaround. James said to come in and he will have it done for me the next day. They did a perfect job. read more

The workmanship has declined significantly. I've been using their tailoring services for more than 10 years, but the last few times there have been multiple items either not done correctly or significantly enough to show any improvement. I honestly feel like they didn't do the work on some items and still charged a lot for their services. I spoke with the owner about this re: one particular item recently. His response was beyond rude and threatening in tone. I will not be returning in the future. read more

A little pricey, but quality service is there. Staff is helpful and friendly. I would recommend this business to others especially if items are needed in a certain time frame. read more

Just Perfect! Great experience and quality of work! We had few clothings including suits alternating. Altering work is perfect no issues. Staff is friendly and always recommend. read more

Thank you for always hemming everything perfectly and quickly for a short girl like me! People working are always very friendly :) Will be using your services again read more

Absolutely fantastic Tailor! So reasonably priced, customer service oriented and kind. I really feel like we found a gym. He has been able to do projects short term and sometimes same day. He's done full alterations to my husband suits and alterations for my son's school uniforms and is now going to be hemming my daughters skirts. I would highly recommend him for any of your tailoring needs. read more

Amazing service!! The owners were super nice and helpful when I brought in three pairs of jeans to get tailored. I have a lot of trouble finding mom/looser jeans that fit me as I'm 21 years old, 4'11", and 90 lbs. I had jeans that were probably 1-2 waist sizes too big but I would just wear them with a belt. I finally decided to take them in and Portola did an amazing job. It only cost $20/pair which is so worth it! They did it in 2 days and when I came to pick them up, I was so happy with the fit. I will always bring my clothes here in the future for all tailoring needs! Attached pics of 2/3 of the jeans they fixed. read more

The male owner is rude and argumentative. I forgot why I stopped coming here the first time, but when I went back I quickly remembered their angry attitude. I also paid over $30 for two simple hems on sweat pants. Then when the pants were too long the owner was rude about the whole issue. Go somewhere else! read more

I brought my suits for alterations and James is fantastic! He provides his professional opinion and does not push more than what is required. Really fast turnaround time and fair prices. This shop does men and women clothing. read more

They performed same day tailoring on a jacket, great work on fit and form of the coat

I would trust this team with any of my garments. I went to them to have my bridesmaid dress altered before a wedding. Boy was I pleased with the tailoring job they did for me. I am pleased to say this tailor job lasted the whole night and still looks good the next day. I would like to note that I have been in several weddings with altering my Davids Bridal and did not have good luck with the altered piecing staying together. I have returned with several more items for them to alter and they provided the same care and expertise to all my garments. I would highly recommend this well-priced, time efficient, and friendly location for all your tailoring needs read more

I had to bring in a costume to them last minute, and they were so incredibly gracious, and fixed it for me right on the spot, even though they were closing. It felt like a small town business. I really cared about their customers. I can't say enough how much I appreciate them! thank you !! read more

FINALLY found a GREAT tailor/alterations place! Walked in & was greeted with a big smile by James. My husband needed a quick fix on a new pair of slacks & a suit jacket, but we needed it by tomorrow. "NO PROBLEM" James says. Wow! This store is extremely clean & well kept. In addition, manners are everything so this will be our go to place for all of our future needs. * Tip; Any charge under $20, they accept cash or check. Anything above that... credit cards are accepted. read more

Definitely recommend for when you need patches seen in uniforms. Quick and friendly service and very reasonably priced.

Overall did a good job. I took a dress in for heming and adjusting the size because it was too big. The lady did a good job but it came out a bit too snug to where the dress was uncomfortable to wear and hard to breath in. When I came back in asking if it could be let out a bit to make it more breathable I was told that I was just not use to it. She then proceeded to tell me to go on a diet to lose some weight in the four days before the wedding. I left in shock feeling insulted and frustrated that I was just going to have to wear the dress the way it was. read more

I only come here for hemming pants but does a amazing job and finishes same day. Also, very affordable pricing.

Excellent tailoring at an affordable price. Tailoring can be done fast and efficiently. Their customer service is outstanding. A family owned shop that gives you as a person Proirty over the all mighty dollar. I feel confident with the service I receive and never half to worry. They tailor everything from evening jump suits to denim jeans. Suits reconfigured to fix your holiday occasions - no worries. read more

I will definitely use this tailoring shop again! Sized down my bridesmaid dress to a perfect fit and super fast service.

They are my go to tailoring for any repairs or when I need something taken in or hemmed. Excellent workmanship!

Found this place through Yelp to get my pants hemmed and they did an amazing job !! :) staff is friendly too !

Always quick and does a good job, I have brought 3 bridesmaid dresses here now. A little pricey but you get great quality!

Needed to get several pants altered and Portola Tailoring got it done so quickly and did such an amazing job! My jeans have never fit so well before and I'm amazed :) prices were affordable and the owners were so kind. Would definitely recommend to everyone and will continue coming here for any of my alteration needs! read more
