Kamta Tailors

Kamta did a great job on both blue jeans and a very tricky prom dress alteration. And he’s not as pricey as some competitors in the area. I don’t need anything too fancy done ever, so cannot comment on complete alterations or make over jobs. but for the basics, he’s been very helpful; and I trust him to do what he says he’ll do on time.

I know you will all be SUPER surprised by this update! He called 1^st thing this morning to tell me the Visa machine had been fixed. Yesterday he had been waiting for the «Visa people» to come fix the machine for a week and last he heard it would be sometime next week… this is why he was only taking cash. SURE!!! So somehow overnight… while we all slept, his «Visa people» came and fixed the machine.

We have always received first rate service and quality work. He’s very pleasant to both my wife and I, gets things done faster than originally promised, and has never told me he couldn’t do the work. I go back to him time and time again without ever any problems or reservations.

I had the same experience as Ofir. This tailor only seems to want easy, machine-​assisted, high margin jobs. Which is funny, given how empty his place was.
I asked him fix an expensive bed sheet that ripped at the seam, and he said «no» because his sewing machine couldn’t punch through the existing seam. When I suggested he simply use a needle and thread, he dryly looked at me and repeated his «no». Disappointing. I’m used to tradesmen who are there to help you, not cherry-​pick the easy jobs. And I would have paid a great deal of money to get this fixed. Surely enough to cover the 30 minutes of stitching he’d have to do.

I took a pair of way too long jeans to Kamta to get hemmed. Kamta did a fantastic job on them! He hemmed them with precision and they now are the exact length I wanted them to be.
Thanks so much, Kamta!

I can’t really rate the work, but I can sure as hell rate the service.
Here’s my story. I bought nice pants at a low price at Target. I really just needed to wear them once, so I got something mid-​low range. The problem was the pants were a tad on the long side, maybe an inch or two. I went in and had the following two minute conversation with the tailor:
‘Hi” says I. «Good morning sir» he replies. «How much is it to hem these pants» says I pointing at my newly purchased garment. «15 dollars» says he, examining the hem. I was a little shaken by the price, but said naught. «Do you want it cupped?» he adds. «What is that» I ask, being completely lay in all things tailory. «Do you want the same hem as the pants have now?» (folded up) «Yes, I think so.» I quivered in fear of the ensuing statement «That will be 20 dollars» says he as he points me to one of the fitting rooms. «Wow» says I, «that’s almost the price of the pants». Now, this I did not expect — the man hands me back my pants and briskly says «I don’t want to do the job» I was really shook up by this «go somewhere else» he concluded and turned back to his non-​existing other work. «Thank you» I replied and exited, regretting my final politeness.
I ended up getting the work done by a relative with some of that fabric adhesive tape thing.
As I had said, I can’t attest to the work, but then again, I don’t think I would want to.

Twice now, these guys have saved me and provided high quality last minute alterations. I called them on a Saturday morning at 8:15, brought a skirt in at 8:30 that I wanted to have shortened by a couple inches to wear for my son’s birthday party which was starting at 10:30. He had the skirt done and ready to pick up by 9:00. High quality, original-​hem alterations.
