I don't usually go out of my way to write reviews unless I've had a particularly strong experience, unfortunately, this is one of four of them. I've given this place multiple chances, hoping things would improve, but each interaction has been disappointing. The woman who answers the phone and works the front desk (I'm not sure if it's the same person) has consistently been rude, curt, and lacking basic customer service skills. It makes the entire experience uncomfortable and unwelcoming. Additionally, despite advertising leather cleaning services, they refused to take in a leather item, which was frustrating and confusing. "Top 10 Best Leather Jacket Cleaner in Martinez, CA - Last Updated December 2025 - Yelp - Sunrise Cleaners & Alterations" At this point, I won't be returning or recommending this business. It's disappointing, as they've lost what could have been a loyal customer. read more

Make sure you specifically ask how much your alterations will cost while they are pinning you/taking your item. Do not trust any estimates (i.e., pant hems cost 20 dollars). When I was shocked by the price (2 1/2 times the estimate), the owner told me that it was my fault for not specially asking for an exact quote and going off the front lady's estimate. Personally, I would request a quote in writing. See the picture for the response the owner personally messaged me on Yelp after I posted the above paragraph. (She also yelled at me on the phone.) It's their job to give accurate and transparent pricing. read more

Sunrise Cleaners & Alterations - Owner threatening me - Sewing & Alterations Near Me - Martinez, California

Needed a dress to be altered in a pinch and they were able to accommodate and get it done quick and well done!

I'm 5'3" so a bridesmaid dress is pretty much guaranteed not to be the right length on me, even with heels on. I've taken 2 floor length gowns to Sunrise to get hemmed ahead of weddings and they did a great job both times! The first dress was a sort of shiny bridesmaid dress and was easily 6 inches too long. I brought in the heels I planned to wear with the dress, tried it on in their fitting room, got the dress pinned, and was told I could pick it up in 4 days! Which is an insanely quick turnaround time for hemming - speaking from experience having things hemmed at other places. The price was very fair and when I picked up the dress, it was hemmed perfectly. The second dress wasn't as egregiously long, but was too large around the bust. The seamstress noticed this and quoted the price for taking the dress in and hemming. It was a very reasonable price, and also only took a few days to do! The dress fit perfectly after. I haven't actually gotten anything dry cleaned here, but at this point I would trust them with practically any article of clothing I own. If you need to get formalwear altered, come to Sunrise! read more

They ruined my jacket and still charged me $28 will not return. I will not be able to wear again.

Always done right and efficient- and they'll do rush work. There was an issue with one of my wife's blouses, and they called to let us know- that's always appreciated- read more

Excellent sweet and fast service helped me figure out how to adjust the dress without ruining the quality. Very sweet workers, truly appreciate them read more

Always on time and good results. Also the alterations are top notch. My Mom used to do all her own sewing, including wedding gowns. At 96 her eyesight is not so good. For her to compliment this place is all you need to know, their sewing work is great read more

Unfriendly service, lack of transparent pricing, and a ripoff ($16 for a dryclean for a blazer).

I had 1 week to get my bridal dress altered, and not only was the service fast, affordable, but they did exactly what I asked for. I couldn't have asked for a better experience. Will be coming here in the future! read more

After my regular dry cleaners closed, I was at a loss where to get my dress work clothes cleaned. Sunrise Cleaners and Alterations came highly recomended. They did not let me down. Reasonable prices, quick turn around (3 days on average) and a friendly staff. Clothes come out just like new! read more

I went to have a pantsuit tailored. Not only was the owner very attentive, she made suggestions which were gladly accepted. I've been going there for years to have my clothes cleaned, this is the first time I've had any tailoring done and it won't be my last! Very happy! read more

Friendly people. Reliable and great quality service! Great open hours for working (and commuting) people!

I brought my wedding dress in for alterations and Kim gave me lots of suggestions and was so quick and efficient in her turnaround time (less than 1 week for some simple adjustments). The price was very fair and even less than she originally quoted me for adding cups, a bustle, and fixing a broken clasp. I definitely will be returning to get my wedding dress cleaned and preserved once my wedding is over! read more

Great service- They did a fabulous job on my slip covers. Friendly staff and great work. They pay attention to details.

This review is solely on wedding dress preservation. The pricing for preservation is fair priced. I dropped off my dress and they called me with a quote before they started working on it. They do not overcharge and they do explain why they price the way they do. I was charged $295 for cleaning and preservation, which is a great deal. Most places I called were quoting that much as the starting price for any wedding dress, without seeing the size or condition of mine. They did an AMAZING job cleaning it. I was hesitant at first because my dress had dirt, leaves, and some vomit on it. There was no sign of any damage when I came to see it before being boxed. The person who cleaned it was really detail oriented, they were able to identify very tiny rips on the dress that the staff and I couldn't find with a blind eye. These all occurred at fault to myself due to the hustle. The only issue I had was the staff lacked communication to me. I had to go out of my way to check on the status of my dress. After they called for a quote, I did not hear from them for a little over a month. I called and they let me know my dress had been ready to view for a while now. When I went to look at my dress, they said my dress may require a bigger box than their standard and they would let me know if they're able to fit it or not. Another two months go by and I follow up again. They let me know that dresses are always packed within 3 days of viewing so it has been ready for the past two months, not mentioning anything about whether the dress fit or not. Overall, I was extremely satisfied! The lack of communication is not a big deal, as this was not a time sensitive transaction. Just something to keep in mind. Would definitely recommend and be back if any needs come up. read more

See all

Quick turn around on alterations! I'm 5ft and don't see potential growth now that I'm middle aged I'm glad to find a local place that does a precise job. My pants also went in wrinkled but when I went for pick up my pants were hemmed perfectly and crisp! read more

I have been going to Sunrise for the past 2 and a half years now and cannot see myself going anywhere else! The nicest family owned spot that always delivers great service and makes sure that all of your pieces are well taken care of. I've done alterations here on multiple dresses - had my wedding dress fixed, many of them tailored/cut shorter, etc. They've fixed zippers and of course done plenty of dry cleaning for me. The prices are incredibly reasonable for excellent work. We bought a home and moved an additional 20 minutes away, but I will always find the time to head to Sunrise in Martinez. They're well worth the drive for such awesome service! read more

Great service. Cloths were completed shesd ahead of schedule. I plan on going back soon to get some items tailored. See you next time.

I believe we got ripped off on the alteration price for 2 dresses. The decision maker was not there when my wife dropped off the dresses. They needed to be altered, but not at the price we paid. It seem like a bait and switch. i recommend shopping around for alterations. It was an obscene amount per dress. I cannot recommend them. read more

Excellent Service and friendly Staff. Cleaning is done on site and they take such good care of my clothes. I have moved away, but still go back to Martinez to get my dry cleaning done. The alterations are perfect too. If you like to take good care of your clothes, this is where you do it. read more

How do I begin. When you walk in, you hear a bell behind you ding to let them know that there's a customer. I went here to get a dress hemmed for a Silver Wedding and the alteration lady asked me if I was sure that I wanted to get the dress hemmed because I would be wearing heels anyway and after feeling like an idiot because I didn't realize that, she said that she didn't want to do anything if she didn't have to and I just appreciated her honesty so much so I left and the next time I was back was with my now husband to get his suit altered to fit him better for our wedding. Although my husband made the suit look good, without the good work that they did, it wouldn't have looked as good. The total was around $155 to get the jacket altered and to get the pants hemmed and tightened. Thank you for making him look handsome on our wedding! read more

1 tank top, 1 short sleeve cotton dress, cleaning only. $39.00 are you kidding? And no thank you to boot. WAY over priced.

You will not find a better place than Sunrise Cleaners...we've been going here for over 10 years and they are fantastic! Great alterations, well priced...A+++. read more

Hours are wrong online, showed up at 6:40 pm. It says you guys close at 7 online and at the door it says 6pm....

I rarely, if ever, use a dry cleaning or alteration service but I had these two pairs of corduroy jeans that needed to be altered because they were too big (and too cute to give away). So, I called Sunrise to find out when alterations were available. She said mornings 730-1230 daily and Monday's and Thursday's all day. So I went and got measured on a Monday and by Thursday both of my pants had been altered and you can't even tell a single stitch is out of place. I'm very happy with them, the cost for both was around $100. So happy to have them nice and fit now! read more

Needed a dress clean quickly for a trip. I called in the morning and they told me they could work with my timeframe. The job was done well and on time. read more

Kim is an absolute pro at alterations! She did an amazing job helping me fix some alterations gone wrong on my wedding dress and truly saved the day. She does beautiful and detailed work, and really listens to what you're asking for so you walk away knowing that you're in great hands. I couldn't recommend Sunrise more highly! read more

I needed a wedding guest dress hemmed with pretty short notice (less than a week). I was able to bring my dress in & have it pinned in about 10 minutes, which I appreciated since I did this on my lunch break. The turnaround time for pickup was so fast (only 3 business days). The hemmed dress looked great and I had no complaints. They are quick and efficient so I recommend for alterations. read more

I had to get my dressed hemmed and ready within 2/3 days. The wonderful woman kindly accommodated my very last minute request. Her work is amazing. read more

I got my wedding dress and reception dress altered here and they were perfect! Sunrise has a quick turn around too. I highly recommend them for alterations and dry cleaning! read more

Have to correct this original comment as I must have caught the other woman who works the register at poor times my first few visits. We all have those days. My past few visits she has been very friendly, and helpful! Will keep my review at 4 stars though as services are quite pricey, though I understand we are in tough times right now. read more

I called to see if they could dry clean a suit for my husband. The lady that answered the phone was not friendly at all. When I walked in she took the suit without saying anything and all while smacking and chewing her gum around her mouth (which I could clearly see). She had a rude and unprofessional demeanor and overall lack of good customer service. I almost grabbed my stuff and left. Customer service is very important to me and acknowledging me as a customer would have been nice. She didn't even bother to say hello when I walked in or say "you're welcome" when I said thank you. This was my first time going there and the white lady at the register made it very unpleasant. read more

Way too expensive for a simple dress hem. On top of that it is the sloppiest hem jobs I've ever had. Seams are coming undone and crooked. My new dress is ruined and I will not be back. read more

A little on the expensive side but I Kim is sooo nice and her husband is so good and entertains my toddper when we come for a visit

I was quoted over the phone a price of $35 to dry clean a queen size down comforter. When I dropped it off the price went up to $55. I asked the lady to explain why I was quoted a different price and she just giggled and said "Price $55" Dropped it off anyways as I was in a hurry and it would not have been convenient to cart along the comforter to the gym on my bike. We shall see how clean it is when I pick it up. read more

The review I posted earlier was actually not for Sunrise - it was for a different dry cleaning services. My apologies to Sunrise for the mistake read more

I get my dry cleaning done here and have been very happy. I needed to get a formal gown fitted for my sons wedding. The owner was wonderful. She gave me a rough estimate beforehand. The fitting was quick and pleasant. She noticed some beading coming loose in a few places I hadn't even seen. The dress was done in a few days with new hem, repaired beading, etc. it looks fabulous and was very reasonably priced at the low end of her estimate that was just for the hem. I can't recommend this community member enough. Fabulous work, friendly people, great service! read more

I brought in two pairs of $50 shorts to have the waist hemmed by one inch. Sunrise charged me $70 to do this easy alteration. Make sure you get an estimate before you drop off anything off and/or go somewhere that doesn't gauge their customers. read more

Ot I not the place for alterterstions. I had 5 shirts tailored. Thry looked worse than when I brought them in. A hack in my oponion
