Dug in my closet and found something from 20 years ago, took it to her at the last minute and Ms Wanda was able to perform a miracle for me. I only gave her 2 weeks and she had it back to me in a week. Wanda had to do hems on two layers of pant. Top layer was sheer. Not a simple thing to do and have a perfect match. Lace top was enlarged. Not a simple thing to do! I've sewed for many many many years and just can't do it any longer. So I will say the finished product was perfectly done. That makes a difference in how a garment fits and lays on you. There are people that don't understand what it takes to alter garments. From my experience if a place puts you off, is cluttered, keeps delaying, over promises, does not double check their measurements with you and make sure you clearly understand what to expect then run don't walk and find a professional.

She was very friendly, and her prices are fair. The pants look great, too. She even does custom design and embroidery work. I will definitely keep her in mind for future sewing needs.

I've read some mixed reviews on this place and had a bit of a mixed experience myself…read more This was my first experience with any alterations place so I wasn't sure what to expect. When I first arrived I was greeted by what I assume is the owner. She was professional and prompt. Asked what I needed, got me into my suit and measured in a matter of minutes which I appreciated. I needed to have my suit pants and jacket sleeves hemmed. I dropped off on a Monday and needed the following Thursday (so about 10 days). I felt this was an ample amount of time but again, my first experience so I wasn't sure. The lady seemed to give the impression this was a quick turn but told me she could do it. The cost was $70 which I honesty don't know is good or bad. It didn't really matter to me, what was important was getting it done. I showed up Thursday only to learn my suit wasn't complete. This was a huge disappointment. Thankfully I planned ahead and told her Thursday knowing I wouldn't need it until Friday evening. She promised me it would be done Friday morning and when I returned the next day it was done. It looks great. My advice would be to always give yourself a day or two extra and just live with the expectation they will not get it done in time. Don't set yourself up for disaster.

She is so awesome, and friendly, and seems to know what she is talking about. Before I purchased my dress, I went to her to get measured. I was purchasing my dress online, and didn't know if I was measuring myself correctly. She did not charge me for the measurements and if it wasn't for her, I would have bought the wrong size dress. I actually doubted her because I thought the size she told me to get was way bigger than what I thought I was. But, boy, was I wrong. She saved me from making the worse mistake, because the return policy could be tricky. I was so pleased with her service, once again, I will definitely use her for all of my alterations. Thanks Allison, you are the best and keep up the great work.

Venator Solutions

I can't speak for others who hired Venator to do other types of work which may be totally different…read morethan the work I required. I hired Venator to install a 4" channel drain that was to replace an original 28 year old 1" drain that was no longer adequate to collect heavy rains and move it away from my patio. While Venator's proposal seemed to be promising to provide a much needed improvement, the end results were a big disappointment. A concrete opening had to be cut in order to receive the new Spee-D Channel drain along a 25' section of my concrete patio, but they cut the opening too small. They proceeded to trim the Spee-D Channel on the bottom to make it fit into the undersized opening, which compromised the integrity of the plastic channel and wasted time focusing on the retrofitting process. All they had to do was to cut an additional 2-3" strip from the concrete and the drain would have dropped into place as the instructions suggested. After numerous attempts to inform the owner, who refused to visit the site to inspect the work, he insisted the job was being done by "Industry Standards". His main communication was via Text. I kept him informed of the shoddy workmanship with the hopes he would come by to see for himself. That was not on his agenda, even after expressing my dissatisfaction with the job as it was proceeding. I was not given a dedicated day for the work to be done. It seemed like my job was fitted in after the workers finished on a previous job. The two workers showed up at 6pm on day one and worked until 8:30pm. Not being able to finish, they had to return the next day at 3pm and worked until 8pm. The two worked hard doing their job but it seemed like this was an exploration, not a familiar experience for them. The left photo is what the installation should look like if done correctly and the right photo is what was installed, after having to cut the bottom flange on the channel drain to force it into the opening in the ground. Unfortunately, you never know what results you will get from a vendor until the job is completed. I am sorry I hired Venator for this job and I do not recommend him for this type of work.
