Last year my wife and I took our Canada Goose jackets for dry cleaning. They ruined them! My wife refused to pay the $180 charge and took the jackets.

They said it was not their fault and demanded payment or they would donate them. We had to pay as our jackets were being held hostage. Fortunately Canada Goose repaired the damage done by Barkers. Like others, I wish I could negative stars!

I am appalled at how my friend was treated with the damage to her jacket. They ruined the jacket and then blamed it on her and said it was wear and tear. Do not waste your time, this is the reason people have trust issues. I wish I could actually give negative stars.

I wish I can give this business a negative 5 stars
After having my wedding dress ruined just two weeks before the wedding, being unable to even retrieve my deposit and being subjected to being called a liar, being shouted at and feeling very threatened by the owner of this establishment, today I took the damaged dress to the tailor who had altered it for me.

She also pointed out that the wrinkles were likely due to the interior shell of the dress being shrunk. She estimated it had shrunk by

Tony and his staff are very friendly to me when I drop off my shirts on a weekly basis. Never an issue. The service is always prompt and turn around time is quicker than other cleaners I've tried. I would recommend Barker's to anyone looking competent and reliable dry cleaning.
