Ermira’s Alterations

The best alterations in town. I have visited this location on several occasions and I always get excellent service. The prices are better than anywhere else that I’ve been. I will definitely be coming back.

Horrible experience!
First of all, the store is a dump… unfinished/​uneven floors, junk all over the place, makeshift «dressing room» which is just a tiny little particle board cubicle, no A/​C, etc… I brought a suit in on a Friday afternoon to have the sleeves shortened and the pants hemmed. I told Mike I wanted a full break in the pants and my shirt cuffs to show when I «popped» my coat sleeves (which is very typical for how men wear suits these days). Mike measured me, pinned up the suit, and said «No Problem». I asked him if I could have it by Monday afternoon as I had interviews scheduled for the following week, and he told me «sure, no problem, I will call you Sunday evening to let you know its ready for Monday». I received NO claim ticket, work order, or receipt of any kind, and as I was pulling away, I thought to myself that that was rather odd, but gave him the benefit of the doubt as he was friendly and polite.
Sunday evening came and went with no call from Mike, so I called the shop around 1 PM on Monday afternoon, only to find out the store was closed (presumably for Presidents Day, which is fine, but don’t tell me you’ll have my suit ready on a day you’re closed). Tuesday morning I gave the shop another call to inquire if my suit was ready, only to hear «no, that suit wont be ready until tomorrow». starting to get quite annoyed… Wednesday afternoon; «I’m calling to see if my suit is ready»…“sorry, no, the pants wont be done until the seamstress comes in tomorrow, you can check in with me tomorrow after 1 PM” … Not pleased at all at this point… Thursday afternoon; I call in to the shop and the suit is finally ready… When I put the suit pants on, they are certainly not a full break, but it is a tapered pant leg and it actually looks good, so I say nothing, then I try the coat on… The sleeves still come halfway down my backhand, and I look like a teenager wearing one of his Dad’s old coats which is too big for him. When i question Mike about this, he begins explaining all this technical sewing jargon that means nothing to me, but bottom line, given the confines of the coat, he can NOT shorten it to desired length. I understand there are situations where you can only do so much, but tell me that upfront. I would have returned the suit, had I known the limitations. Mike actually tried to say he had discussed this with me before hand, which is absolutely not true.
Then when I went to pay, he tells me he has no credit card machine, and can not take credit or debit, and tried to get me to walk over to a barber shop to take money out of the ATM.
Don’t risk your clothing here.

Stopped by a few weeks ago to get 2 pairs of jeans hemmed. Before I even got home they called to say the pants were done already! The seamstress was doing hemming that day so a little lucky lol! Just dropped off a shirt missing a button. Very reasonable pricing and open until 8am/​8pm so very convenient hours. And Crispy Cajun is right across the lot so that’s a plus in my book too

Never gets anything done when he says he does. I brought in some simple jobs, a couple of T-​Shirts, and a pair of jeans. The first time I brought them in, I asked how long it would take to get done, 3 weeks, a month? I asked because I assumed that it would be lower priority. He said no, I could come back same day to pick up and took my number. I never got a call from him. I waited 3 days and then I called him and he never did it. He said he would do it again that day and I could pick up tomorrow. I told him I didn’t have time and would stop in the day after. He did have 2 out of 3 items done then, and then. So I paid for the 2 and told him that I wanted to wear the last shirt by the weekend. He said to pick it up Friday. I go in and he STILL hasn’t done it! SO he does it right there and it only took him maybe 5 minutes at most. I drop off another shirt and he said he would call me tomorrow when it was done. Guess what? I never got a call. I wait a week and then I call him and he said that he will get it done that day and call me to come pick it up. Guess what? I never got a call! So I go in a week later (So now he has had the shirt for 2 weeks) and a lady asks if she can help me. I say that I dropped off a shirt and I never got called. Then he comes over and says «says is this your shirt» I said yes. He said «here». I asked if it was done because it didn’t look done. He said no and that he is not going to do it. I asked why and he said «Because you said I never call». Then goes on like I am somehow in the wrong here? I honestly just can not recommend this guy at all. He doesn’t do jobs in the time frame he says, he doesn’t call, and he has shown terrible customer service all the way around. I get that my jobs were small jobs, but there were 2 other courses of action that could have been taken here. 1, Give a realistic time for when things would be done and follow through on that. 2, Refuse to take the small jobs that I had brought in.

I need to make a small alteration on hubby’s new jacket. After an easy communication with the owner Michael, I decided to let him do the work. I got the jacket back 2 days later and I was satisfied with Michael’s workmanship. I paid $ 10 dollar for his work and I’d like recommend him to others who are looking for a quality alteration service.

I’m very impressed with Mike and the quality of his work. He clearly loves his work and it shows. His prices are very reasonable and he gets the work done very quickly. I consider this find a real treasure!

Mike was able to alter my dress in one day and did a wonderful job. If you go to other places it takes 3 times as long and at double the price. I recommend mike to my closest friends and family because I know he will get the job done right.

Mike Did a good job on some pants for Me. I highly recommend him for all your Alterations and Tailoring needs.

I can’t say enough good things about this place! Mike was extremely professional and helpful. I brought my dress in for Oktoberfest and was worried because I needed it finished in two days. Mike altered it on the spot in 20 minutes and got it perfect on the first try. He doesn’t believe in «rush fees» and said he has been a tailor since he was 12, which shows in his amazing work! I just wish I would’ve discovered this place sooner!

Went to Ermira’s to get a bridesmaid dress altered– excellent experience. Dress turned out great and was done quickly as well. Great spot!

I brought in a dress that i purchased online. It was too long and extremely itchy under the armpits as the top part of the dress was designed with sequins. not only did he hem this dress up to the absolute perfect length, but he was able to use part of what he took off to use it to cover where it itched all the way around. I comfortable wore my dress all night. It was perfect!

I needed to get my wedding dress bustled and while other shops in the area gave me a quote of $ 100-​$ 150, mike did it for a FRACTION of that price! And while the cost was cheap, the work wasn’t — he did an amazing job on my dress and it was done in two days. Plus, Mike was incredibly nice which is always a bonus. I would absolutely recommend this shop to anyone and I will definitely be returning!

Found this place on Unilocal when I recently needed my bridal belt altered and decided to give it a try based on the other good reviews… I was very happy with the results! Mike does really quality work and is quite the perfectionist! Very reasonable pricing too, I couldn’t believe how inexpensive it was. Thank you for the excellent work!

My fiancée came to have a bridesmaid dress hemmed. She’d called around and the quotes were pretty high because it was a multi-​layered dress. We happened to be in Clearwater and decided to look in Unilocal and saw Ermira’s had great reviews. Mike is very nice and precise. He had the dress done the same day and it was perfect! And for MUCH less than all the other places! I will be bringing my suits to him next. He does upholstery as well.

Great service! They were able to do the alterations I needed same day. The alterations were wonderfully done.

This place is great! It’s a gem that is worth mentioning. I took 3 pairs of jeans. One being my favorite that was purchased a long time ago, that has been repaired twice already. Emiras did a fantastic job at stitching and patching. Reasonable price $ 10/​pair, compared to $ 12 elsewhere. Service time was also quick.
