Transparent Pricing — No Surprises
One of the most common questions we hear is: "How much will it actually cost to fix my serger?" We believe in upfront, transparent pricing. Here is exactly what you can expect when you bring your machine to Houston Sewing Repair.
Our Service Pricing
| Service | Starting At | What Is Included |
|---|---|---|
| Serger Timing | $119 | Looper and needle synchronization, tension calibration, test stitching |
| Light Repairs | $139 | Tension issues, thread breakage, minor adjustments, knife sharpening |
| Cleaning & Maintenance | $99 | Deep clean, lubrication, inspection, tension check |
| Full Service Package | $199 | Timing + deep cleaning + full inspection — save $19 |
Tip
Best value: The Full Service Package at $199 saves you $19 compared to booking timing and cleaning separately. It's our most popular option and what we recommend for machines that haven't been serviced in over a year.
Most Common Repairs Fall in the $99–$199 Range
The majority of serger repairs we see in Houston fall in this range. Here is what typical jobs look like:
- Serger skipping stitches, runs rough: Usually timing — $119
- Thread keeps breaking, tension is off: Light repair — $139
- Machine is dirty, hasn't been serviced in years: Full Service Package — $199 (cleaning + timing)
- Grinding noise, looper issues: Assessment needed — most end up in the $139–$199 range
More extensive repairs — motor replacement, electronic board repair, major mechanical rebuild — are quoted on a case-by-case basis after we inspect your machine. We always give you a detailed quote before any work begins.
Our $50 Diagnostic Fee
We charge a $50 diagnostic fee when you drop off your machine — and it's applied toward your repair if you proceed. Upload photos of your serger first, and we'll give you a detailed quote so you know the price before you decide.
Info
Why a diagnostic fee? It ensures we dedicate real time to thoroughly assessing your machine. If you move forward with the repair, the $50 comes right off your total. Think of it as a deposit toward getting your machine fixed, not an extra charge.
How Houston Pricing Compares
We keep our prices fair by specializing in sergers and sewing machines. Many general repair shops charge $150–$200 for timing alone because they split their attention across appliances, vacuums, and other equipment. By focusing exclusively on sewing and serger repair, we're faster, more accurate, and more affordable.
All Repairs Include a Warranty
Every repair comes with a warranty on parts and labor — typically 90 days for most repairs. If anything related to the repair isn't right, we'll make it right at no additional cost. We stand behind our work.

- 3 Attach your photos and describe the issue
- 4 We'll review your photos and send you a detailed quote — usually within 24 hours
Warning
Important: All work is by appointment only. We do not accept walk-ins. This allows us to give every machine our full attention without keeping customers waiting.
