Need alterations and repairs for a suit and dress hem

Hi, I’m looking for a skilled alterations tailor who can help with a few wardrobe tweaks. I have a suit jacket that needs minor hemming and sleeve adjustments, plus a dress that requires hem shortening by about 2 inches. I’d also like to adjust the waist on a skirt and take in a dress at the bust by a small amount. I’d prefer someone who can come to my home or meet at a convenient location in the area. Please share how long you estimate for each piece, your availability, and any fabric limitations or care instructions I should know about. I’m hoping to get these alterations done with care and good precision, ideally with quick turnaround.
