D’amico Alterations

Terrible experience. Called at 4pm to ask what time they were open until and was told 5pm and to ‘come on down’. By the time I got there (this was not close to my house) and finally found a parking spot it was 4:35pm. Found a hand written sign on door that said ‘closing today at 4:30′. Such a waste of my time and terrible customer service. Will never go back or recommend.

I walked in to get my shorts hemmed, and they did it on the spot! Wonderful customer service and a very cute, happy, and vintage place. We will absolutely return!

This place is fantastic. Great old school vibe. I usually stop in with my daughter after school, and they remember her name and are friendly. I have had several suits, and pants altered. The work is excellent, and always ready when promised. I regularly get comments about my clothes being stylish, or cool. I think that people often underestimate how much better a suit or nice pair of pants look when it’s been properly fitted.
Last week the seam started to separate on a high end winter coat. I thought I was going to have to pitch it. I took it in to Damico’s, and they fixed for less that $ 10.00.
This is old school service, that you just don’t find much anymore!

I loved the place from first walking in, as it does have that old school vibe to it.
Ray is a great gentlemen and while he will try to talk you out of what you want, at the end of the day he’ll do what the customer wants — he just wants to make sure its a more educated decision.
That said, this place should be avoided. Period.
Dropped my suit off on a Friday to have the sleeves shortened and the pants hemmed/​taken in at the waist. Promised to be finished a week later (Friday). Coming in on the Tuesday after the work was promised, it wasn’t DONE! They still had to sow the buttons on the sleeves and finish the pants. This was two business days extra, and the work wasn’t done.
The worst part to me is that when pressed about this, there was no «I’m sorry.» or anything, simply a «can’t always know when you’re going to get busy.» Seriously? Not a single apology. While it would’ve been nice to knock a few bucks off the bill as a token, a simple apology would have been enough. Instead you get nothing.
Furthermore, despite marking the pants, they came back at least an inch too long. The waist came out perfect, but the pants were too long.
I really wanted this place to be good, but they did not want to be anything short of awful.

I think the correct store name is «D’amico Alterations». But, maybe this this the business name. Anyway, this is a cute shop that I think falls in the category of «mom and pop.» When you walk in, you’ll see where they do all their work, right behind the counter at old-​school looking sewing machines. I and many of my coworkers use D’amico for alterations on suits, etc., frequently. I think getting a pair of suit pants hemmed for $ 10 is pretty decent, though I suppose I haven’t done it often enough to remember what it usually costs. I’ve also gotten a bridesmaid dress fitted here and they did a great job.
The owner, Ray, is very sweet and funny. His son and the other staff are very friendly, too! There is plenty of metered parking by the store and I’ve never had trouble getting parking in that area.
