I took my Tuxedo in for cleaning/pressing and repair to my trousers. It was there nearly two weeks. I received a text that it was done. I inquired about the cost and thought it was rather inexpensive. I inquired further and was told my trousers were unrepairable. So I asked why wasn't I made aware of this prior? I received a "sorry text." So now I'm actually due $47.00 for cleaning and pressing my jacket alone and the sleeves were let down 2 inches. Yes that's very expensive to me!

I live in North Olmsted and work in Parma. I used this cleaner opposed to a closer one because I heard great things about them. I got out of work a few minutes later than usual (5:20 instead of 5:10) and when I got stuck in the evening traffic I tried calling at 5:53 to see if they could put my clothes in the pickup locker since I had a feeling I would not make it by 6. I got no answer when I called and when I got there at 6:03 I tried explaining what happened to the woman working and she was very rude and told me that she did not care and they were closed. So not only did I waste gas and time coming out there but I also have no pants to wear to work tomorrow. I will be looking for a new dry cleaner because of this.

Quick service, great results! They are so lovely, provide text updates and free delivery. I wouldn't dream of trusting anyone else with my dry cleaning.

Had a bit of sticker shock on the costs when things weren't exactly clear on their pricing, but Shelly rectified things very quickly and I will continue my business there. My advice to everybody: make sure you're clear on the costs of your alterations/cleaning before you leave the store, that way there's no surprises.

I would not recommend ridge cleaners for any type of alterations. The prices are extremely high. I had a very simple Sun dress hemmed on the bottom and about An inch taken off the straps and they charge me $33. And it was a very simple dress to do if I could have done it myself I would have. The lady that check me out was very rude.

I brought one of my suits here for a simple dry cleaning and when I came to pick it up the staff had lost my custom fit dress pants. I asked them if they could look for the pants that evening and to give me an update that evening as I had an event the following morning. They never called and I had to visit my tailor and have a new pair of pants custom fitted the evening before my event. I called the following day and they said they would look for it and follow up with me during the week.

They never followed up so I went to the store to get a refund for my lost pants. It took two more weeks for me to receive a refund (three weeks since the garments were lost) and I only received a follow up on one of the multiple occasions I asked for one. I understand there is human error but for a company who's mission statement is "Our mission is to serve others" they didn't do a very good job. My suit jacket was cleaned well but I will be taking my service elsewhere from this day forth and informed my tailor of the poor customer service I received.
