About Helen's Place

Helen's Place is a dry cleaning and alterations business located downstairs in the parking garage level of an office building at 505 Montgomery in San Francisco. The spot is a bit hard to find, with no street-level signs; you must enter the building and take the elevator down to the parking level, then turn left.

Helen is widely praised as very nice, kind, professional, generous, friendly, and the best wardrobe helper. She is incredibly affordable and reasonable, with prices often significantly lower than competitors. She is a professional with many years of experience, known for being responsible, responsive, careful, thorough, transparent, and communicative. She expertly manages expectations, clearly explaining what she can and cannot do, embodying an "under-promise and over-deliver" approach.

The service is excellent, with impressive results like making a badly stained wedding dress look like new and expertly removing stains or repairing tears. The work is very good and comes out well. The primary drawback is the shortened, limited hours, currently on Mondays and Wednesdays from about 8:00 AM to 1:00 or 1:30 PM, which can be difficult for those not working nearby. Despite the hours and location, customers highly recommend her as a fantastic, highly respectable, and knowledgeable gem of a service.

I had a stain on my favorite coat that I couldn’t get out on my own and she did a great perfect job, it looks brand new! She did a perfect job on both sides (its reversible).

Brought it in on Friday (no appointment) and it was ready Wednesday.

Also, it’s in a weird spot. Just go down the lobby elevator to the parking garage and it will be on your left.

Helen is very nice and her prices are reasonable. I paid $3.25 per dress shirt and 5.75 per pair of slacks. She’s open MWF from 8-1:30 but note that if you drop off Monday morning it won’t be in till about 10-1:30pm on Wednesday.

The place is downstairs below the offices on the parking level.

Very nice lady, one of the best prices in the city.
We have been using her for a few months and she has a 100% perfect record of cleaning everything properly, on time, without any item ever damaged. She is also honest if she thinks she can't do something, as my wife had a very unique item that she said needed to go to a specialty place. I like that she let us know so the expensive item could be handled carefully.
