Dry Cleaning and Alterations in Throggs Neck, Bronx

Three generations of the Zeppieri family have pressed, mended, and altered clothes for this neighborhood from the same storefront on East Tremont Avenue. Wedding gowns get the same care as a Monday morning shirt.

What we handle: everyday cleaning and real tailoring

Every piece that comes through the door gets cleaned, pressed, or altered by hand, then checked before it goes back on the hanger.

Dry & Wet Cleaning
Suits, coats, everyday wear, and delicates cleaned and pressed with care matched to the fabric.
Wedding & Beaded Gowns
Gowns and beaded dresses cleaned and preserved without stripping the detail work.
Alterations & Resizing

Leather & Suede Care
Cleaning and minor repair for leather and suede jackets, bags, and garments.
In-Home Pickup
Rugs and drapes picked up from your home when they are too large to bring in.
Serving Throggs Neck and Beyond
Walk-ins welcome on Tremont Avenue, with service that has grown into Westchester County and Connecticut.

Jobs most shops turn away

Fifty years in the same storefront means this shop has taken on work that a standard cleaner will not touch.

  • Fire and smoke restoration for clothing and household textiles
  • Careful cleaning for artwork and fine textiles
  • Fur and leather care alongside standard garments
  • Military patch and uniform work

Run by the family that started it

Vincent Zeppieri Sr. opened the shop's doors in 1964, back when the sign out front still read One Hour Martinizing. His son Vincent Jr. grew up in the back of the store and now runs it the same way his father did: measure twice, press once, and know the customer's name.

That kind of continuity is rare on Tremont Avenue. The shop has stayed in the same family, in the same storefront, through six decades of Throggs Neck.

Vincent Zeppieri, Owner

"They've been pressing my husband's suits for twenty years. Same family, same care, every single time."

Longtime Customer, Throggs Neck
