Harsh is awesome. Took a pair of vintage jeans I bought to him to try and expand the waist about 2 inches - something five previous tailors said couldn't be done - and he did it. After that, I hired him make two custom shirts for me, one two-tone collar and cuffs, and one w/ paisley collar/cuffs, and they are excellent. Highly recommend. read more

Hi! 5 stars! I'm fairly new to the neighborhood & glad I have been able to bring two dresses to this location to have altered. I've brought one black blazer dress & a feathery red dress that had to be brought due to sizing issues and of course the zipper! All my items were returned in a timely manner in about 3 days and in great condition. I do recommend this location and service! Prices are on the mid - higher end and the quality is worth it! Thank you always! read more

Had a wonderful experience. I took in two pants to get hemmed and needed them for the next day . Certo's came through and had them ready the next day . The pants fit perfectly. I was very pleased with the work and the swift turn around . read more

I've gotten a few things done here and they always turn out excellent! I had a 911 tailoring emergency and Certo's came in clutch! My only qualm is that it costs $20 for your measurements read more

Certo's Custom Tailors - Tailored my pants! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Secaucus, New Jersey

I had Harsha make 2 suits, they are absolutely beautiful. Definitely a worthy investment and highly recommended.

The service they provided was good but holy crap the prices for tailoring are outrageous. I know you pay for what you ask for but I wasn't expecting a $110 charge to have dress pants hemmed and tapered. read more

Love this tailor. Great service. I go to them for all my alteration needs. They do everything from suits, shirts, dresses and more. read more

nice guy very professional. great job on my jeans. went there a few times always satisfied. Will always go there for anything I need tailored. read more

Harsh was friendly, welcoming and efficient. Was able to complete our alterations quickly and perfectly! Highly recommended!

Excellent tailor and worked with my needs. Had to come back to have the pants fixed but it was no trouble.

Went to Harsh for an evening gown alteration. He is very professional and knows his craft. The dress came out perfect and finished on time. He is a first rate tailor. I would definitely use him in the future. read more

I hate to share my secret spot with everyone, but it's too good not to! I've had everything done here, and each time I throw a challenge at them it is done to PERFECTION and it a timely manner. I feel like a celebrity every time I walk in there, because everything is customized to me but priced so fairly. They are truly experts at what they do, plus they gladly take on all my crazy requests :) I'll never go anywhere else again. Thanks guys! read more

This place is tucked away in the heart of residential Secaucus, and has been for decades. The same can be said for the fine gentlemen who own and work at this establishment. I was a bit nervous at first because i've had some horrible tailoring experiences. The clothes were done perfectly. The turnaround time is extremely fast as well, typically 3 days. These tailors really know their craft and will have your garments tailored to your liking. read more

Amazing service. These guys are fast, friendly, and reliable. Took a blazer and two shirts for some alterations and they came out perfect. Will keep coming here. read more

Moving to the East coast from Los Angeles, I was nervous to find a new tailor whom I could trust with my clothing. So I waited YEARS to take some of my favorite shirts and slacks into get altered. Wish I had done it sooner! The crew at Certo's is truly a cut above the rest. Their work is immaculate and I couldn't be happier. Highly recommended! read more

Wow! Certo Tailors are fantastic! Great talent, they know how do make it happen. Fast. They have done everything from shortening shirt sleeves (which I didn't even think was possible) to altering suits/jackets and they've come out perfect every time. Deal with Hershey, who is really accommodating and friendly. Al Certo who you will probably also meet if you go there, is a truly original character who made custom suits for stars like Frank Sinatra. Originally from Hoboken,NJ, Al is "One of a kind" He can make clothes from scratch and alterations are simple for him. I'll be going back, often. Great Job! A+ read more

You should get a custom Certo tailored suit just to say you have a custom suit from Al Certo. 'Nuff said!!! read more

I needed a bridesmaid dress fitted for a wedding at the end of April, but I naturally pushed off finding a tailor until a week and a half before the wedding. Without an appointment, I walked into Certo's, and I was able to immediately get my dress marked for alterations. I needed a hem (of 3 layers) and an alteration to tighten the back of the dress. I knew I was cutting it close, but he was able to get it done in about a week. The dress fits perfectly, and I'm looking forward to getting future alterations done (and maybe some custom suits) there as well. read more

If you're looking for a GOOD tailor that knows what he's doing in the NYC/NJ area, look no further. This place has been around for decades and the work really shows. It's got that real old-school Italian mobster vibe, down in the basement of an old building. CERTOS has its own unique personality. I've been in emergency services for years and have always brought all of my uniforms here. I also have a bit of a strange athletic build (shmedium, if you will) and need most of my tops altered. Harsh gets it done in a timely fashion without cutting any corners. Aside from my uniforms, he's tailored my suits, sweaters, dress pants, dress shirts, and even some of my casual wear. Because of this place, I'm always looking sharp. I read some reviews mentioning the pricing, but I have to say, this is truly a "you get what you pay for" kind of place. If you're going to spend money on good clothes, why cut corners and seek cheap tailoring? If you're in the area and get your clothes tailored anywhere else, you're throwing your money away. GO TO CERTOS! You won't regret it. PS: He makes CUSTOM suits, too! That's right, be the best dressed at the next wedding you attend. And yes, I'm a real customer. This is a legit review. Get after it! read more

Harsh is the man. I had a bespoke suit made by Harsh with multiple fittings. Harsh has a good touch and grasp of up-to-date modern fit. I've also had multiple other alternations here in the past, very satisfied. Very high quality for the price paid. read more

Did a stellar job on altering my bridesmaids dress to perfection and the perfect length! Was done within a week and half! Super sweet guy and great prices ! read more

I needed to have a dress shortened and only had a few days till the event. I went to Certo and he was happy to meet my deadline. I picked up the dress today and it's perfect! I will definitely be going back, when needed! read more

This place is awesome. Al and Hershey have owned this place for over 30 years and they're such great guys. Service is fantastic and they will have you in and out in no time. I went in today and Hershey altered my suit while I got crunk on sangria with Al. Drinks came with a side of stories about the "good old days", which definitely had me laughing (where the hell else will you get service like that?). Bottom line, prices are reasonable, service is excellent, and turnover time is quick. I'll never go to another tailor again. read more

A hidden gem in Secaucus. Harsh the tailor is a wizard at what he does. Very humble and professional at all times. I have spent well over thousands of dollars on fancy BS so called NY tailors. When I saw his rating on Yelp, i figured why not. I started off with pants then I decided to let him do my suits. 4 months later he has done for me 15 suits and not including my vests for my three-piece suits. This guy is amazing at alterations and custom suits. Give him a shot!!! You won't regret it! read more

Dropped off a blazer and two shirts that needed alterations. Was greeted promptly and all of my requested were satisfied. It wasnt cheap but good work never is. They even finished it ahead of my deadline and gave me a call once it was ready for pick up. read more

Harsh is a very good tailor, clean jobs, knowledge in what his doing... But.. Expensive

I've brought suits, shirts and other items for tailoring to Certo and they've never disappointed. Excellent quality work and always on time. Highly recommended! read more

Harsh is the best. If you are looking for a GOOD GOOD tailoring go to Certo's. Very professional and good quality work excellent service and punctual. I strongly recommend this Tailor. They makes new clothes from scratch like suits pants shirts and over coats for men and women. read more

I've honestly had the worst experience with this tailor. When I called he hung up and said I don't want promotional calls and I stated I just wanted to get shoulders fixed on a dress for an event I am hosting. He tells me the dress will be done by Saturday at 2pm. I go to get the dress and no one is there and no one is picking up the phone. He never called me about the dress & I had to go get a new one. Horrible service. read more

I have been fortunate to inherite couture clothing from my friend, however, they are one size to big. I have been using Harsh for close to 5 years, and once he is finished, every piece fits customed made. I have taken dresses, ballroom gowns, pants, and jackets; not once have I been disapointed and it is ready when you need it. I didn't think i would find this kind of workmanship outside of NYC, but i found it with Harsh in Secaucus!! read more

This business has been around for years. They are friendly and professional. I went to them to get two of my dresses hemmed as well as add cups to one dress. All were done in a timely manner and sense of urgency. The prices were on point with the competition. I would highly recommend this place. For men, they even customize suits! Thank you Certos for accommodating me when I didn't have much time to play with. Great job! read more

I've been going there for many years and Al was good but Hirsh is very good he has taken expensive suits that were dated and bought them back in to todays styles he can deconstruct a dated suit and make it look like you just had it made to today look. Hirsh has tailored over three dozen suites about seventy five blazers and over one hundred pants. All very expensive and he has given them new life . He can make anything suits, pants, shirts and for a fraction what it would cost at a Nieman's or at Barny's or Armani's . He even tailored leather jackets and made them look coustom . the new issue of G Q has an article about tailors if you are lucky enough to find a good one treat him good for they are rare to find and they will always make you look your best. And i found one and i think he is the BEST !!!. read more
