What we do
Sherman Royal Cleaners is Grand Lake's trusted tailor and dry cleaner, located on Lakeshore Avenue and serving the Oakland residents of Crocker Highlands, Trestle Glen, Adams Point, and Lakeview.
Our specialty is alterations — and we mean the difficult ones. Wedding gown bustles, bridesmaid dress hems the week of the ceremony, suit tailoring before a job interview tomorrow morning, bridal party fittings, and stretchy fabrics like spandex, yoga pants, and activewear that most tailors turn away.
We also provide full dry cleaning, shirt laundering, and wash & fold service — but alterations are what people make the drive for.
Walk-ins welcome for simple jobs (hems, buttons, minor repairs). For wedding gowns, suits, and multi-piece fittings, call ahead to book time with our seamstress.

We tailor and do alterations from simply sewing up a button, repairing a hole, or doing standard clothing adjustments. We do custom fittings for suits, formal dresses, and wedding gowns. Our seamstress also specializes in the alteration on all spandex and expanding materials.
