Alteration World

I found Alteration World on the web and on Unilocal.The great reviews convinced me to give them a try, and I’m so glad I did! Fast, courteous service, and excellent work! Dropped off 2 pair of pants that needed hemmed. The young man took care of me right away and the price was very reasonable. When I picked up my pants, (he was able to get them done in 3 days so I could take them on vacation) I was very very pleased with the quality of work. He did them just as I asked and they looked fantastic! Will definitely be back!

The service, quality, and speed of Alteration World are incredible! I have had suits and pants altered here and have been thoroughly impressed by the work. Everything has fit perfectly and the work was quality. I will be returning here exclusively for my tailoring needs and have referred many customers already. If you need anything altered (or even something custom made), do not hesitate to go to Alteration World.

My bridesmaid dress alterations were perfect. I would not hesitate to come back for alterations or dry cleaning.

So happy I found this place! I’m new to the Pittsburgh area and wasn’t sure if it was worth driving to Carnegie to come here, but Unilocal convinced me. It was completely worth the trip! Since it would have been a long trip to come back, the guys at Alteration World finished my work (patching a hole on a pair of jeans) in less than half an hour (I killed time at an adorable coffee shop across the street) and exactly as I had specified. Oh, and the price was extremely reasonable as well. Thanks Unilocal for another great find!

Needed a zipper replaced on an Ann Klein winter coat. Called first and took it there. Left a $ 10 deposit for a projected $ 30 job. He called in a few days, his «zipper guy» was just in and didn’t have the zipper (door to door zipper salesman? no internet ordering?) so he would have to use one that he had on hand. color, material would not match but it would look ok. I insisted that I should come and chose from the alternatives or take it elsewhere depending. It is a visible zipper so it does matter. When I arrive, he tells me that he found the right pull tab on another zipper he had and replaced that so now the zipper works. I noticed that the pull tab bore the same Ann Klein insignia and was an exact color match with the original zipper. So, I knew he was lying. But the zipper seemed to work, so I paid an additional $ 3 and left with the coat. My goal was a functional zipper so I tried not to be too pedantic. The problem is that when my daughter put the coat on for the first time and went to zip it up, the zipper came right apart as it had previously. So not only did he lie about the work that he did, he also didn’t really fix it.
I wanted to use a local shop and support someone who is trying to make a go of it. I got taken. I wouldn’t trust him now to go back and ask him to REALLY replace the zipper and do the job. I am only out $ 13 dollars, but have lost a month in time and far more in good will. Might be fine for alterations, but I am not going back based upon my experience.

I just needed a broken zipper replaced on my favorite Penguins fleece jacket and a pair of suit pants hemmed. The price was very reasonable and the work done was great. I will go back for all my tailoring needs and highly recommend if you need any done.

This is the best alteration place I have been to. The guy that owns it is extremely helpful and works FAST. Also, the prices are so reasonable I wonder how he stays in business. He was able to do an alteration on short notice and was very acommodating. The alteration I needed done – and fast – was right in the middle of prom season. All the other places I called gave me a several week wait, but he took me right away. I will be back!

I needed alterations done to my suit very quickly. Like three days quickly. Not only did Filberto at Alteration World have it ready, the price was beyond reasonable and the work was EXCELLENT! I plan on bringing all my clothes to him from now on.
Oh and he let me know that they also dry-​clean. Wonderful shop!

Great Service.

New to area and decided to pay this shop a visit! It was definitely the best experience I’ve ever had with a tailor. He is MUCH cheaper than the other shops, he charges 10 while others charge $ 15, and he goes above and beyond for what he charges.
I dropped off 4 jeans, and he hemmed and tapered the jeans! I couldn’t even tell the difference between the store bought jeans and the quality of his work. It was absolutely perfect, no bulges or puckers! They the match the exact stitch as the factory.
Absolutely a great guy, they were all done and waiting for me as promised! I’ll definitely be taking all of my business to this place, and would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for a personal tailor who actually cares about his work and building an honest business.

Having certain businesses with skill sets in your local neighborhood is important. I try to keep it as local as possible, so when I heard about a tailor in Carnegie I was intrigued. The building is in a strip mall across from Carnegie Coffee Company. Unassuming, looks like it is closed all the time, until you do a drive by and see the hours posted. There is a Latino man in his 20’s working when you arrive. In my mind, I imagine a tailor to be older, kind of like my grandfather maybe with measuring tape around his neck (Textbook movie tailor), so I was a bit trepidatious about dropping off my clothing. He asks you to go change into a closet (Yes, a closet to change in with one lightbulb) BUT all my worries aside, the moment he started working on my items I knew he was the real deal. He learned from his father at the age of 14 how to sew. and he does things the correct way. Meaning, for example– I took in a pair of khakis all the way down to the cuff, but he seamed them up to look EXACTLY the way they were when I first bought them. Most placed will have bulges and puckers. The rest of my items were just as perfect. Very inexpensive at $ 10 for a pair of pants to adjust the hem. The items were done in a timely manner. He takes his business very seriously. While I was there, I watched a lady rush in and demand 6 shirts to be altered in an hour, and he did it and charged the same price. Really nice guy, please go and support this business to keep him around town!
