I can't give enough stars to Carlos at KMC. I had a rush job of only four items that was a "time is of the essence" kind of thing. I had used someone else for years and they couldn't do it because their equipment was down. I literally opened Google to see where I could go nearby that wasn't going to be too expensive. I'm on a strict budget and at the end of the day, these items were more of a want than need. I was ready to have to just come up with some other idea. Or I'd have to try to figure out how to use the Cricut sitting in my garage for over a year (that wasn't happening). I had walked into another place the week before, and they turned me away for my small order, so I wasn't confident anyone could help me. I also needed the turnaround to be five days or less by that point, because I'd thought I'd had someone else lined up but when I hadn't heard from them in a few days, I got nervous. I needed to find a back up for my back up. I walked into KMC and Carlos was immediately friendly and ready to help. I showed him what I needed and he said "no problem". Then he asked if I wanted some extra stuff done that I wasn't even going to ask for because I figured it would add difficulty and expense. I did want that though so I said yes. I said cautiously, well, yeah, no problem, but how soon can I get them? He just laughed and said - "I can have them done by tomorrow". Tomorrow? Ok, but how much? I braced myself. Well, he was way less expensive than any other place quoted me for less work. I was ecstatic. It was just such a pleasure working with him. I was curious what kind of machine he used just because I'm a geek like that. I have a lot of this stuff for work reasons but don't have the time to learn it. So he showed me and explained it to me and even told me where to get supplies (also never going to happen). I don't think someone else in his business would have been so forthcoming. But you can tell he just likes people, likes to help, and acts like there is room for everyone. I've used one person for like six years for any customization who I also found on a whim, so I've never had to investigate finding anyone else or pricing anything out so I didn't even know current pricing for these kinds of jobs. But small businesses go out all the time and it's always great to know more people who might have a business you need. Carlos will be my main guy now for any customization needs. He does it all- silkscreen, vinyl, DTF transfer, embroidery. He has items to print on or you can bring your own. True to his word, I got my stuff back the next morning at 11a when he opened and it was perfect. I can't post pictures of them because they are a surprise gift. But I did take pics of his shop and some of his items so you can see what's going on in this little place on Lincoln Ave. Had no idea he was so close also- I was able to run over there in minutes. He's just really chill and my stuff came out better than I could've expected. I highly recommend! read more

Carlos is a life-saver! I was struggling with an iron-on shirt that I was making for a friend, and nothing was working the way I wanted it to. I called on Saturday afternoon after seeing KMC Specialt's was nearby with great reviews, and Carlos was so super helpful! He tried fixing the shirt I had been working on, and when that didn't turn out, he offered to make a whole new shirt with the design I had made. The shirt was done so quickly and the quality is amazing! Carlos was also very reasonably priced, and I am so grateful for his help in such a short time. I absolutely recommend KMC's Specialt's to anyone who needs something designed and custom-made because you will not be disappointed! Thanks Carlos! read more

Owner Carlos has done multiple orders for my daughters cheer team and dance team. I needed them rushed and he came through. The pajama bottoms and tees came out beautifully. Her cheer team couldn't have been happier. He also did a custom T-shirt and embroidery on a backpack. Phenomenal job! read more

I have ordered a few things with the owner personally, he's a sweet big giant that gets the job fast and with perfection!! I do recommend for anyone that wants a unique design come to light!!! read more
