At first I was skeptical about having a tailor come to our home, as BZ Tailor solely makes house calls. And the minimum service charge of $150 seemed high. I had wanted to have my daughter’s jeans altered, but Ricky suggested I might have more pieces that could add up to $150.
It ended up being the best $150 we’d spent. Ricky was prompt and professional, and my daughter got to see a real tailor at work without leaving our home. He did a great job, and delivered our altered clothing back to us a couple days later. I would not hesitate to call on Ricky again. Working with him was a pleasure

This was my 2nd time using Ricky and I can't say enough good things about him. He is truly a master at his craft!
Let me start off by saying I am very picky when it comes to my clothes and the way they look and fit. I had a motorcycle style leather jacket that I needed the sleeves to be shortened by about 2 or so inches.
This is the kind of jacket that has zippers that go down the sleeve from the wrist area and I didn't want it shortened from there because the zippers would need to be cut short and doing that would ruin the overall look of the jacket since those zippers would now be

I have to write this review for other brides-to-be.
This tailor does not know how to alter a wedding dress.
I found him through Yelp and was convinced by the good reviews. He was responsive, punctual, and said everything upfront. He mentioned that he didn't recommend to do bustle to my wedding dress due to the material. When he came to my apartment and i asked him to cut the hem, he mentioned that I would lose the border, which was a nice pattern. Raised questions in my head, but I agreed (big mistake).
Fast forward to when I received the dress, the arm sleeves were still too big, cause he

I tell everyone about Ricky's tailoring services - SUCH a great find. You can tell right away that he is someone who you can really trust.
He is a master of his craft, responsive, FAST (turn-around is faster than any tailor i've been to) professional, punctual and a delight to have in your home.
He was just at my apartment this morning to measure a dress, 2x pants and a blouse and was so efficient - which is what everyone wants in the middle of a work day.

Ricky is amazing! I have to admit I was apprehensive of using someone who did not have a store front but my worries were for nothing. Ricky was professional, prompt, responded quickly and most importantly he knows his stuff! We had a suit altered (sleeves shortened and pants hemmed) and two dresses altered as well. He is reasonably priced and altered everything PERFECTLY! It was very convenient to have everything done at home and Ricky is VERY EFFICIENT! I am very pleased and will be using BZ tailor for any alternation needs we have in the future. I highly recommend this business. Thanks Ricky

Couldn't have been easier - Ricky came to my apartment to pick up and drop off the bridesmaids dress I needed altered and had it back to me in less than a week!
It's easy to get in touch with him via text or phone and he was efficient and early for our appointments.
He accepts cash as payment when he drops off the altered item(s) so just make sure you have cash on hand.
Will definitely use his service again for convenience and reliability!

Ricky is an amazing tailor and absolute professional. He was quick to respond to my call and was able to turn around all my items within two days. Compared to other experiences, the clothes Ricky tailored fit perfectly and I was immediately happy working with him. The fact that he also does the fittings and deliveries at home make the experience all the better. I cannot recommend Ricky enough and will use him for all future needs.

BZ tailor is amazing! He has been the best tailor I've used so far. He came to my apartment to help my boyfriend and I with some garments. My boyfriend had suits tailored and I had a gown and some jeans. Everything came out beautifully. The gown hardly fill before, was way too large. It now fits perfectly! BZ had everything done in less than a week and is so easy to get in touch with. Will definitely use him again and highly recommend to all my friends!

First time using BZ Tailor and couldn't be more pleased--not only is Ricky a master of his craft but a true gentleman. He couldn't have made it easier for me--he quickly confirmed our appointment via text and showed up exactly on time. He turned 3 dresses around in just a couple days with no questions asked. His speed, professionalism & attention to detail is fantastic. Would definitely recommend!

Plain and simple - Ricky is incredible. There's a reason why every single one of his reviews is 5 stars. Seriously, look no further if you are in need of a reliable, trustworthy, fast, experienced, and truly excellent tailor.
I called Ricky on a Saturday morning and he was at my place less than two hours later. I had two chore coats, two pairs of pants, and a shirt amended, and I am absolutely thrilled with the results. We both knew that one of the chore coats was going to be tough, as the only place it actually fit was in my shoulders. But because I'm totally stubborn, I asked Ricky

I keep getting compliments everywhere I go! If i could give more stars, I would. I never realized how important it was to get your clothes tailored. About a month ago I read a fashion article about how important fit was in clothing and about how fit makes all the difference. You can have really cheap clothing, but if it's tailored and fits well, you can still look nice, and if it's really expensive clothing and doesn't fit well, then it could ruin your entire look. So I decided to get my clothes tailored. I've been going to a big retailer that tailors your dress shirts and pants but I wasn't so

I contacted Ricky with BZ Tailor to discuss lengthening the sleeves on two sport coats; he did a great job and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs tailoring. He was very responsive and got the job done quickly (only 3 days); he was also very good about communicating about the timing of house calls, which was very convenient. Thanks, Ricky!

Ricky is an amazing tailor and very professional. He responds on time and communicates very well. Turn around time for 2 suits was 2 days. Due to COVID, he currently doing house calls which saves you a lot of time. His prices are very fair as well and reasonable. The price for 2 suits that need tailoring was under $250. I highly recommend him. You will not be disappointed.

Highly recommend using Ricky for any tailoring needs! He was very communicative and quickly set up an appointment for a house call when I reached out asking him to hem a bridesmaid dress that I needed back within a couple of days. He was super flexible and willing to meet (and delivered) on the timeline that I needed, and cost was very reasonable. Ricky was extremely friendly and professional, and he did a great job on my dress. I will definitely be contacting him again when I need something tailored!

A tailor that has decades of experience in the craft, comes to your home work work, is extremely prompt in both appointments and service and, not to mention, extremely personable and kind. Ricky is one of the best tailors I have ever worked with and his other reviews can attest to the devoted customer base that entrust him with their tailoring. Highly, highly recommend.
