The Scarlet Vetter says.....this place is the only game in town (or in many towns it seems) for amazing reliable same day service! I found myself being summoned internationally for a 10 day work trip on a moment's notice. Of course, many things I wanted to take with me were sitting in my dry clean pile, as I had been working from home for weeks with no call for my higher end clothing. Drat! What to do? I called my regular cleaner about possible same day service or even two day service and was told that was a "no go." So much for my 20 plus year's of business. So, to Yelp I turned and happened upon Colvin Cleaners. They told me they regularly do same day service as long as the garments are there by 10:30 am and that I could expect them back at or before 3 pm. Eureka!! I drove like a mad woman straight there from the southern tier and arrived at 10:32 am. Despite my tardiness for the 10:30 deadline, the counter staff was very friendly, bright and cheerful and greeted me with a "how can we help?" They set up an account for me, checked in my items, and told me I could expect a text when the dry cleaning could be picked up, all in under 5 minutes! I decided to run errands while in Buffalo for my trip. Sure enough at about 2:30 pm, I got a text informing me my clothes were ready. I arrived, to find yet more bright happy and helpful service staff at the counter. I paid a very reasonable sum for my clothes and was on my way. This place is great and advertises that they employ green cleaning methods to boot! If you are in the Buffalo area, make this business your dry cleaners!!!!! You will not regret it! read more

Colvin Cleaners - Sign advertising the business! - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Buffalo, New York

This company truly prioritizes its customers and takes pride in providing excellent care in cleaning, preserving, and restoring clothes/linen/shoes and more. They pickup and deliver. If there's any problem, management will call with empathy and fix it. Had a minor mix-up last week and CC handled it with superb care and service. They employed their team or tailors and delivered my items in a timely manner. Can't imagine trusting anyone else with my treasured items. Not only do they value the way they care for clothes, but they value customer service. So grateful. Do yourself a favor and invest in the care of your clothes by entrusting CC for your items. read more

I will never take my clothes to be dry cleaned anywhere other than Colvin Cleaners. They normally have your items ready in a timely manner and I've never had any items lost - and let me tell you, I've had some bad experiences at other cleaners... the workers are kind and responsible, and when you get your items back, they are good as new! I have a boxer dog and last year, she got mud all over this pale blue blazer of mine, and I was devastated. I took it to the experts and *poof* it was gone. I also had a bridesmaid dress tailored there recently. It was a little pricier than I had hoped, but it fit like a glove and was worth every penny. read more

Needed a few suits dry cleaned, a seam reinforced and a few dress shirts taken care of with stains removed and saw Colvin Cleaners had some day service. If you dropped off before 11am, they could have it ready the same day at 3pm. Their prices are also competitive. Some outsource some of their cleaning, but these folks obviously do it in house. I didn't need the rush service, but they had everything ready the next day without an issue. I picked it up today and it all looked great. It was about $50 for the 2 suits, a reinforcement and 3 dress shirts, which I thought was relatively reasonable. The clothes look great from first glance. Would not hesitate using this service again! read more

Took a down Quilt to be cleaned. Price was 42 dollars. Half the price of the quilt new. At that price I would not return

Colvin cleaners made dry cleaning a breeze. I've only ever done drive through ones and in Florida, only a small handful of times. So I thought it was always expensive and hassle because it took forever. Colvin cleaners made it a breeze and I can't believe how affordable and reasonable their prices are. The staff is super friendly and even reminded me on the phone they do pickups without any minimum requirements. My cream comforter has allot of detail stitching and it came out looking brand new, even gave it to me in a hefty sealed bag! read more

I have dealt with Colvin Cleaners for many years and I absolutely love their cleaning but when it comes to their alternations from one year to another, they went from $50-$89 per item that I asked that alternations be done. leather and furs went from 55 to 89 without notification, not to mention that this was put on my charge and I was never informed that it went from 50 to $55-$89 so I will not be using unfortunately anymore Colvin Cleaners. read more

This dry cleaner saved my life! I had oil stains on one of my favorite dresses I was to wear at a wedding the next day and needed it cleaned quickly. They not only did an amazing job getting the stains out but offered a super fast turnaround. On top of that, they delivered it to my hotel for free! I'm beyond impressed with their service and quality. Highly recommend for anyone in need of a reliable and efficient dry cleaner!!!! read more

I've used them for a few years now and I can say absolutely, positively Colvin Cleaners does everything well. Staff is always professional and friendly. There is not any material I've taken here to have cleaned that I haven't been pleased with the result. While I haven't used it yet, they pick up & deliver which is a plus and may need to use at some point. read more

Today I called for a VERY last minute hem on the dress needed this weekend and they were very kind and accommodating. My husband also regularly uses them for dry cleaning and we have always been satisfied. read more

I went in dropped off my thick jacket on Sunday morning, asks for dry clean, prespot for stains and sew up a small tear on left sleeve. Was asked to pickup by Wednesday evening, received a text stating it is ready for pickup today which is one day earlier, I was excited to see my jacket being clean and fixed. But after I pickup and went home, I found almost all stains are still there, the small tear on left sleeve is fixed, but I sent the jacket there mainly because I want it to be cleaned, or I could have just save $17 and sew that little tear by myself... Have to say I'm disappointed. Update on 3/3: So they reached out to me as soon as yesterday, apologized for the process mistake they made and offered me to bring the jacket in for a proper clean this time. I dropped it off yesterday after work, just received a message from them with pictures showing my jacket is cleaned and ready for pickup today! Super efficient and well management, really cares about the service they provide is satisfying every customer! Will definitely return to them when need in the future! read more

Efficient, professional and highly skilled. I was very impressed with these folks! I took 3 pairs of my favorite pants there to be repaired. Each pair had severe rips and these folks masterfully Blount them back to life. For that, I will always bring my cleaning and alteration business here. Thumbs up!!! read more

I got my wedding dress altered at Colvin Cleaners by Dama & had a great experience! I planned my wedding last minute & they were available with no hesitation to get it done in time. I felt the pricing was fair too. I will definitely go back! read more

Had to have a suit pressed and cleaned in a hurry, due to a funeral. Dropped it off around 10am and they said it would be done the same day, after 3. I received a text about 1:15 that it, along with another sports coat and 5 shirts were all done! Exceptional service and speed. Thank you so much! read more

Colvin Cleaners is the best cleaners in the area. The Billoni Family are very community minded and have been in the neighborhood for generations. I attended a fund raiser for Autism and won a gift certificate to Colvin Cleaners for $100! I decided to use it to have my living room drapes cleaned and pressed. These drapes were very stained because our elderly dog loved sleeping up against them. They came back perfect, and look brand new again. I got the white glove treatment as well. The drapes were taken down by a specialist, who delivered them to the cleaners. He returned a week later and rehung them, and steamed all the wrinkles out in place. They are beautiful! I highly recommend Colvin Cleaners, especially for their drapery cleaning, and overall excellent service. read more

5 stars- the staff is so friendly, prices are good and they deliver great services- we had a few precious items that needed repair and they came out brand new! This will definitely be my go to cleaners from now on! read more

Green. It's the only green dry cleaner in Buffalo. We have gone to them for many many years and so far so good. You can drop off at the location on Elmwood or they will pick up and drop off laundry from your home. They do all types of clothes cleaning. It's not the cheapest place but not the priciest either and it just may be the best. Ok parking. read more

This is the go to family owned and operated dry cleaners of WNY. They have the best customer service, reasonable prices, pick up and delivery and alterations that are a cut above the other local dry cleaners! They have been around for almost ninety years and their impeccable results show it! read more

Great and efficient service! Colvin Cleaners is great to have all sorts of items cleaned. I've taken coats, sweaters, dresses, shirts, and Uggs. Everything is cleaning well and efficiently. They will quote you a finish time of a few days from the time you drop off but many times I've received email notifications that my items are done ahead of schedule. I'm also quite delighted with the fact that every month they have a different special. For example, this month they have a bring in 2 sweaters, get 1 cleaned free deal and tomorrow they are offering a v-day special of 25% off. Also appealing is that they are "green" cleaners. They are the only cleaners in Buffalo "to use odorless, non-toxic and environmentally friendly Green Earth® solution to give your clothes a nicer appearance and softer feel." Definitely a plus. read more

I wish I had thought to post this review a year ago, but I was not really avid Yelp user then. This is about my experience having a wedding dress altered at Colvin Cleaners. Originally I had not gone to Colvin to have my dress taken in, shortened, bustled, and fixed. I went to another "highly recommended" tailor in the area. That tailor left me over $300 shorter with a dress that still didn't fit properly. So in desperation I started looking at other places. I ended up at Colvin because it was close to home and pretty reputable locally. I wish I could remember the name of the woman that does wedding dresses there, because she was fantastic. She got me in right away for a fitting. She redid the bustle, evened out the hem, took it in more around the bust, and added cups. It only cost me about $180 for all of this and it was done in under 2 weeks. During that time I was in several times to try the dress on again, with shoes and accessories, and we made sure that everything was perfect. My only regret is that I did not just come here first, and I would highly recommend them to anyone that asks in the future! read more

Questionable business practices. I had a credit card on file that had mysterious charges. Do not keep a credit card on file with this business they put questionable charges on the account at random times and do not inform customers. read more

Was able to make an appointment for tailoring a suit on the same day. It was done as promised a week later for pick up. Everything fit perfectly. I would recommend anyone to have their suits tailored here. read more

Update: It appears that the computers and tech has all been updated. Whether it was just very unfortunate timing or simply bad luck, the system the employee was using for my drop off crashed yet again. However, I wanted to improve my review because I do very much appreciate a company that reads their reviews and makes a concerted effort to improve. Colvin is one of the best in town and it's obvious now that they're working on the tech issues. Rome wasn't built in a day and technology is unreliable at times but Colvin always takes great care of my garments. read more

Great and fast service... you may just have to be a "squeaky wheel" ro get the grease... My husband's grandmother passed away on a Wednesday, and he had no suit jacket to wear to the wake and funeral. We went to the men's shop and purchased one, but the sleeves were ridiculously long (my hubby's built like a chubby hobbit.) The manager at the men's shop pinned the sleeves up for him and recommended Colvin Cleaners for tailoring the sleeves and sewing the decorative buttons back on. I brought the shirt in at 8 am Thursday morning, and said I needed it ASAP. The lady at the counter said "Monday after 5 ok?" I said "No, I need it tomorrow." She said "After 5?" I said "I need it for a 2 pm wake." She rushed it for a 12 pm pickup Friday, which would have been fine. I got an email at 3 pm Thursday (only 7 hours after I dropped it off) that it was done! And the sleeves look fantastic! Not a rush job half-assed like you'd probably get other places. 10/10 you just have to be very clear on exactly when you need it done. read more

Great Customer Service but the prices are expensive and no initiative to go above and beyond. I brought a pair of pants in to have it shortened. My pants were ironed before I brought them in but when the I picked up my pants, they were super Wrinkled. The pants were shortened nicely but why would you not press them before you return it back to the customer?? Why would you return a pair of pants wrinkled? When I asked the counter representative, she stated that would be an extra 7 dollars to have it pressed. I explained that I brought them in perfectly ironed. She just replied "everything is extra." Nothing is for free. Wow... really? So guess the good customer service is not free either. It's too bad. I would love to come back for other services. read more

I took a coat here two days before Christmas to have it cleaned by Christmas, and it did get done! However, part of what needed to happen was to have fuzzies from my scarf removed. That didn't happen so much. Yes, it is now in much better condition before, but it is still somewhat littered with white bits of scarf (which stands out on a black coat). Maybe they couldn't get them off? But that seems unlikely. They weren't too expensive, though, and they are supposedly a green dry cleaners, so those are good things. Perhaps they just aren't good for such detailed jobs, especially when you need it done quickly. read more

Service is super speedy! One time a few of my items were discolored and I didn't even notice until weeks later when I took them out. I gave them a call and they were so gracious and recleaned the items for me. read more

Great company. If you drop off your clothes before 11am you can have it done same day. They did a great job cleaning my coat but they couldn't get a stain out. Very good service and they are green! read more

I honestly cannot complain about Colvin Cleaners. What drew me to them was the fact that they're the only green cleaning service in the area, and I do not feel like having cruddy detergent being used to clean my clothes! First, there is always someone greeting you when you walk inside, making you feel welcomed and acknowledged. I have never had a line either, so I'm usually in and out within a few minutes. Once you give your phone number, you're all set! The pricing is fair. I am pleased with their service - my dress clothing is always ready earlier than expected and they have never damaged my clothing. Also, the store itself is very clean, so they mean business! I'll continue using them, despite having to make the trip from Allentown to Kenmore (literally just outside the Buffalo city limits). read more

They will not hem pants unless they are 2+ inches too long. Dropped off a pair of 30" pants (brought a pair of 29" for reference). Colvin had the pants for a week, received call 2 hrs before pickup that the pants were the same size so they weren't hemmed. What the..... Should've known better, I tried once before on a diff pair to get them to hem about an inch (maybe 1.5")..... lady wouldn't do it then either. read more

This review is for their curtain cleaning and repair service. I have used them for many years. They do an excellent, careful job, whether on cleaning curtains or repairing rods or other mechanisms. They are prompt, courteous, and a pleasure to deal with. read more

This is a solid neighborhood cleaner. They offer alterations and repairs if you pop a stitch. Their turn around time is very quick compared to cleaners I've used in the past. They did lose a couple of shirts for a couple of months, but they eventually showed up. Stopping in is super quick and convenient. I'd recommend them if they're in your neighborhood. I use them twice a week! read more

Colvin dyed my flight jacket and I can't believe what a great job they did. The finish is nice and dark and even. The jacket is soft and subtle and better than it was when it was new. I highly recommend Colvin and I'm now a life long fan of this business. Great people and super friendly. What a pleasure to find people who still believe in doing outstanding workmanship. read more

I love thins company! I have been coming here for over 2 years and have never had any problems. I have never used the pick up drop off service I have only used the same day service. I am also thankful for their honesty. There have been multiple times when money has been left in pockets and it has been returned to us. My husband had thought he lost $100 and it was returned to us by the cleaners after they found it in a shirt pocket, a place we would have never thought to look. read more

I had a jump suit shortened. The staff was very nice & professional. I will be using them for all my future garment needs.
