Josephs is an incredible family owned dry cleaner! The do their dry cleaning and laundry on-site, which is a huge plus in my book. Clothing is always laundered and cleaned appropriately and professionally. I've never had a problem with any of their work, and the quality of the pressing is superior to that of most other dry cleaners. They absolutely do their best to accommodate fast-turnaround when needed.
They use a modern bar-code and e-mail system to track shirts. This is a huge plus fr me: (I get an e-mail when the clothes are ready).
The prices are as low as you will find.
The tailoring is excellent! In fact, I learned about their tailoring from my previous dry-cleaner, who sent work to Joseph's seamstress. When I can in to have a suit slightly modified, Joseph gave me the most professional fitting I've ever had. For trousers, no less! (I've had trousers altered at J Press, Brooks Brothers, Saks, anf other places. Joseph took more time to explain options about trouser length and cut than any tailor or sales associate at these places ever had).
Josephs is, unfortunately, not too convenient from my house in Camberville. I have make a special trip and drive (while I walk almost every place else). I learned of them when my previous dry cleaner retired, and recommended Joseph's as the best in the area. As near as I can tell, they were right! So, I'll trek to Medford (even though I'm not super-happy to have to make the trip) because the cleaning and service is that much better than the other cleaners in the Cambridge/Somerville area.
My only complaint is that I wish they were open later. They close at 6:00 on weekdays, which makes the trip there tough for me. To their credit -- I once drove over at 8:30 with an emergency tailoring job, and they were open (working late) and were able to accommodate me. Wow! That's more like ten-star service than five-star service.
Overall, if the hours and location work for you, you should go to this dry cleaner. And, even if the location and hours aren't perfect, you should give them a try. (You might find, as I did, that they are worth it). read more
