Alterations and Repair Service

A great fit brings out your best, and McLendon Cleaners has professional tailors to make that happen!

It’s frustrating to notice small tears, loose hems, or other signs of wear on clothing pieces you love wearing to work, business trips, travel, or even just running small errands. But rather than letting these well-loved pieces sit unused, our expert alteration and repair service at McLendon Cleaners can make them functional and wearable again.

Call us at 903-757-7282 any time you need our expertise in tailoring, alterations, and repairs!

What You’ll Love About Our Alteration and Repair Service

Our alteration and repair service in Longview, Texas is designed to make your clothes fit perfectly and look amazing, all while providing a seamless and enjoyable experience. Here’s what you’ll love about choosing us for your clothing alteration and repair needs:

Precision in Every Stitch

Accuracy is key when it comes to altering gowns, suits, and dresses. Attempting to make adjustments on your own can result in uneven seams or crooked hems that miss the mark. At McLendon Cleaners, we ensure every alteration is executed with precision, so every detail of your garment fits perfectly.

Access to Professional Tools & Materials

With industrial-grade sewing machines, precision cutting tools, and durable threads, we create cleaner cuts, reinforce seams for extra strength, and deliver a polished finish that surpasses what a standard home sewing kit can achieve.

Expertise with All Fabric Types

Our tailors and seamstresses excel in working with a wide range of fabrics, from soft, delicate materials such as silk and chiffon to tough, durable options like denim and canvas. They understand the unique needs of each material and know the best technique to alter and tailor them.

Simple Steps to Get Your Garments Ready for Alterations and Repairs

Getting your clothes ready for alterations and repairs isn't as complicated as you may think. Here's what you need to do before bringing your clothes to us.

Clean Your Clothes First

Always bring freshly cleaned items for alterations and repairs as dirt, stains, or odors can interfere with the tailoring process. If needed, let us handle the cleaning first. Our dry cleaning service is topnotch and will ensure your clothes are spotless.

Try Them On

Wear the garment and take note of what feels off. Is it too long, too loose, too tight? This helps you explain exactly what you need. If possible, wear the same shoes and undergarments you plan to use with the outfit for the most accurate adjustments.

Bring Accessories or Add-ons

For special outfits like dresses or suits, bring any belts, ties, or other accessories you’ll wear. This helps us tailor the garment to how it actually will be worn.

Decide What Changes You Need

Do you want a hem shortened, sleeves adjusted, or something more specific? Having a clear idea makes the process smoother. But don’t worry if you’re unsure—our team is happy to offer suggestions during your fitting.

Inspect the Garment

Check for existing damage, like tears or missing buttons, and let us know. We can fix these issues alongside the alterations.

Schedule a Fitting

Come in for a fitting to finalize the changes. Our team will take precise measurements to ensure the perfect fit.

Communicate Your Deadline

Let us know if you’re on a tight schedule so we can prioritize your order and meet your timeline.

Our Proven Process for Precise Alterations and Repairs

An expert touch in alteration and repair makes all the difference, and McLendon Cleaners offers exactly that for you! Here’s how we bring out the best in your clothes:

Step 1
Personal Consultation

We start with a personal consultation to understand your needs and expectations. Whether you want to adjust the fit or repair a tear, our team listens to your goals and advises on the best approach to achieving them. We know every garment is unique, and so is every customer.

Step 2
Detailed Assessment and Marking

Once we understand your vision, we carefully assess the garment’s structure, fabric, and any specific design details. We then mark areas that need adjustment or repair, ensuring all changes maintain the original look and feel of the piece.

Step 3
Precision Alteration and Repair

With the plan in place, our expert tailors go to work. We use high quality tools and techniques, whether it’s resewing a seam, adjusting a hem, or restoring delicate lacework. Every stitch is made with precision, so the garment feels as if it was custom-made for you.

Step 4
Final Fitting and Quality Check

Once alterations and repairs are complete, we do a final fitting to make sure everything is just right. This last step ensures every detail meets your expectations, so you leave with a garment that feels tailored just for you.

Honestly, I don’t know why I hadn’t left a review sooner.This place is simply amazing.Yeah it’s a cleaners, but it’s more than that. Every time I enter this place the personnel is always welcoming and smiling. They do first class service, and the prices are very reasonable. I just found out they do comforters, which is another plus because these can damage your washer. I don’t like going to laundry mats especially because of the people running in out of some of them, that aren’t even doing laundry. Don’t get me started on laundry mat sanitation….. 🫢This the best cleaners I’ve ever been to, even better than the ones in DFW area. ✨⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

My name is Monica White and I am so satisfied with McLendon Cleaners. They are super conveniently located for me to drop off and pick up around my work schedule. They send a text when things are ready and they give you a gift if you are new! I thought that was really nice. Everyone was helpful and I didn’t have to even get out of my car. It was a wonderful first experience and I will absolutely go back there again.

Prompt, friendly, professional, and they always do a great job.
