    I don't usually write reviews, but this experience was so exceptional that I genuinely feel…read moreobligated to document it properly. I had a high-end Canali suit made from 100 percent wool with a 100 percent cupro lining (elite Italian brand). If you understand fabrics, you already know how delicate and unforgiving that combination can be. This isn't something you can just replace. It's structured, tailored, and expensive. Unfortunately, the suit ended up in what I thought was an unrecoverable condition. It had visible contamination on it (4 day old vomit 40% coverage), and I took it to three different dry cleaners before coming here. Every single one either refused outright or gave me that look like it was done. At that point, I had basically accepted the loss. Then I found Zeppelin Cleaners last minute. And when I say last minute, I mean I literally called right at closing time. Not only did they answer, they kept the store open and waited for me to arrive. That alone already told me something was different about this place. When I brought the suit in, they didn't panic or brush me off, and they didn't make unrealistic promises. They assessed it like professionals. You could tell they actually understood fabric composition, construction, and stain treatment at a technical level. Here's where it gets crazy. They had it ready by the very next day. When I picked it up, I genuinely couldn't believe what I was looking at. The suit didn't just look clean. It looked better than when I originally got it. The fabric texture was fully restored. There was no visible staining or discoloration. The wool integrity was intact. The cupro lining looked smooth and untouched. There was no warping, no shrinkage, and no stiffness. The suit was properly pressed and held its structure perfectly. They didn't just clean it. They brought it back to life. If you understand how sensitive wool and cupro are, especially after heavy contamination, you'll understand how impressive this result really is. This was a high-risk job that multiple other cleaners would not even attempt, and they handled it flawlessly. The customer service was just as impressive. They stayed open past closing just for me. They communicated clearly and honestly. They delivered a fast turnaround without sacrificing quality. They treated the garment with real care. I was so satisfied I tipped over 100 percent, which I have never done before. At this point there is no question. They are officially my go-to dry cleaners. If you have a high-end garment, a difficult stain, or something you think is done, take it here before you give up. They do not just clean clothes. They restore them. They are the definition of excellence. Valor Extraordinaire

    I really appreciated the response time when I reached out about an alteration to a prom dress that…read moreneeded a quick turnaround. Sam was amazing to work with! She listened carefully to my issue and offered a solution. We took the dress in on Sunday, and she had it ready by Tuesday for another fitting. Sam wanted to make sure there was time if any other adjustments were needed. Needless to say, the dress turned out as we had hoped, and my daughter is very happy. Thank you for the job well done and for the fair price!

    Stephano Tailoring - Notice the horrible stitching and the RG is destroyed. There is an R but the G is now just a whole in the shirt.

    The best Taylor in the valley. My wife needed her dress altered and it's a heavy beaded dress…read more Stephano did an amazing job. You can't even tell it had work done. Pricing was great for all the work he did. My only negative is he is a bit rough when he speaks. Other than that I highly recommend him.

    The only reason I'm giving this place 2 stars is because the alteration done on my dress was done…read moregood. I get the sense that the owner is very skilled in his work HOWEVER, the owner is really, really, rude. First impressions are always important, and we only went to this place out of recommendation from the dry cleaners nearby. We came in, he didn't address us, so we politely greeted him. He was busy, which I understand, so we waited until he asked us what we needed, which was just a small alteration to a dress (just making it a little shorter). He told me to go put it on first, which I did, and then came out. We told him how short we wanted it, and he made me turn and turn, until he made me look at him and said " Stop. Please. Every time you look down it moves the dress".... I didn't know... this was my first time getting an alteration. Furthermore, I kept stepping on my dress which is why I looked Down for only a second. But the way he said it sounded like he was yelling, and mad. It felt like he was talking down on me. There is a kinder way of saying what you need me to do. You don't need to sound so rude. It seems like he has no respect for other people and he seems very strong headed and demanding. You can say it's how you were raised, it's your culture, or whatever, but you are running a business so you need to know that not a lot of people will like your attitude. You need to learn how to treat all of your customers. I was crying in the dressing room afterwards because it really sounded like he was mad at me for not knowing better. Also there was a guy who came after me and was waiting patiently, he didn't hear the owner the first time, and the owner threw his hand up, basically like a "come on, seriously?" way. I get it can be annoying sometimes but he was clearly on his phone and didn't hear you. You didn't have to do the hand motion, it was unnecessary. If you want the job done, you can be sure he'll do it, however you'll have to deal with the attitude
