Tailor & Alterations in Antelope, CA

We are at 4004 Contralto Way, Antelope, CA 95843 — just off Roseville Road between Watt Avenue and Antelope Road, behind the small commercial pad on the south side of the street. There is on-site parking right out front and the studio entrance is at street level. If you are coming from the Antelope Hills side, take Antelope Road west, turn south at Roseville Road, and Contralto is on your right after roughly half a mile. From the Foothills Junction side it is a four-minute drive — most locals know the corner. From Stafford Ranch on the east side it is six minutes via Antelope Road. For first-time visitors: there is a small sign on the building and the entrance faces Contralto, not Roseville.

No. Walk-ins are welcome for standard alterations during business hours — Monday through Friday 8am to 4pm, and Saturday 9am to 5pm. We will assess the garment, pin and quote on the spot, and book your pickup. The only services that always require an appointment are bridal fittings, custom-clothing consultations, and our at-home / mobile tailoring service — but those can be booked online or by calling (209) 280-9964, usually with same-week availability if you live in Antelope. If we are mid-fitting when you walk in, the wait is typically under fifteen minutes; we will pin you next.

Saturday 9am–5pm is the heaviest drop-off day for our Antelope regulars, and weekday closing at 4pm covers most early-end shifts. If you are on a typical 9–5 and cannot make 4pm, the Saturday window is the simplest fit; we also accept Friday-night drop-offs through 4pm. Pickups can be coordinated by text once the work is ready. For garments that need a Monday-morning event, our 48-hour rush service (additional fee) guarantees a Friday-morning pickup. We do not currently offer evening hours on weeknights, but a partner-or-spouse drop-off during weekday hours works just as well.

On-site parking is available at the studio, directly in front of the building on Contralto Way. There is no metering, no time limit during business hours, and no parallel-park-only situation. If our lot is full, Contralto has uncongested street parking along the south side. This is a meaningful contrast to dropping off at Sacramento or Citrus Heights shops, where parking can add ten minutes on each end. The drop-off is a one-trip errand: pull up, walk in, walk out.

Yes — even though we are around the corner, we run the same at-home tailoring service for Antelope addresses for clients who prefer to be fitted at home. That is particularly useful for bridal parties getting fitted together, elderly or mobility-limited clients, or anyone juggling kids and schedules. There is no Antelope travel fee for in-home appointments because we are already in the city. Book the at-home alterations service or call to schedule. Most in-home appointments take 30–60 minutes including consultation and pinning.

Prices are the same across every city we serve — there is no per-city markup, ever. Standard hems start at $25, waist adjustments from $45, bridal hemming from $150, custom shirts from $150. The Antelope advantage is in convenience and turnaround, not pricing. Full pricing is on each service page, and we provide a free written quote at every fitting before any work begins.

Citrus Heights has the Sunrise Mall corridor with two or three department-store-attached tailoring shops; North Highlands has fewer dedicated tailors and most residents drive into Sacramento or Citrus Heights. Antelope sits in the middle: closer to home than the Sunrise corridor for the Antelope Hills / Stafford Ranch side, faster than the Sacramento downtown options, and the only studio in the immediate area set up for leather, fur, and bridal work without subcontracting it out. If you live in Antelope, the geographic argument is the simple one — we are usually within five minutes of your driveway. The work argument is that the same master tailor sews every garment, with a 7-day re-fit guarantee on every job.
