2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Tree Care
Arbor-Craft LLC
Chester County
“Arbor Craft is more than just a tree service, they are true tree care professionals. Matt and Taylor have built a top-notch team that operates with extreme care for your trees, property, pets, and family. Their communication was excellent every step of the way, and they truly treated us like family. Plus, we got to meet their dog, Moose, who serves as the occasional supervisor and made the experience even better. If you’re looking for expert tree care with a personal touch, Arbor Craft is the way to go!”
– Jon D.


“Artisan has completed numerous projects for my family throughout the past several years. They have done everything from small bathrooms, kitchen cabinets and a huge exterior project. Jon, Mike, Owen, Kevin and the entire crew continue to amaze us. Since we have used them for multiple projects, I can say that they continue to improve in ways that didn’t seem possible. Offering touch ups, utilizing new organization systems that keep the homeowner in the loop, etc. After painting most of our house inside and out, we suffered a major loss after a storm. The crew from Artisan were some of the first to reach out to my family to offer assistance and make sure that my family was safe. Throughout the past year, Artisan has worked extensively to restore our family’s home. They are truly some of the best around, always taking into account the families they are working for (dogs included!). We highly recommend Artisan to anyone in need of painting.”
– Chelsea B.

2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Interior Designer
Avakian Design
Newtown Square
“I used Avakian Design recently to get custom drapes in my son’s bedroom. His room was drafty and Emma presented a solution with thick custom drapes that would help insulate his room better. Emma came to our house and took the time to show us many fabric samples and made recommendations on what she thought would work best. She was not pushy at anytime and presented us with many options to consider. The drapes were just installed and we couldn’t be happier. I wouldn’t hesitate to go to Emma and Avakian Design for any future home design projects.”
– Jeremy H.


“Professional and most importantly, RELIABLE. They respond quickly and anticipate families needs. We use them for meal services and they’ve been great with aligning us with a chef that is able to accommodate dietary restrictions while ensuring meals are healthy and delicious. They have truly found a way to fill a void for working families.”
– Main Line Community Parent


“Eric is a very kind soul and is always out for the best interest of he’s clients, family and friends. Very honest, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. I have used his services personally and professionally.”
– Jon D.


“I can’t begin to express my happiness with the literal ART Brittany created in my home office. She covered all of my walls with a seamless floral design and it’s just incredible. It looks like an art gallery and she even allowed my daughter to create a special element within the mural. She worked so hard and I’d recommend her work to everyone. She brings what you have in your head to life and makes it even better than you could imagine. Thank you, Brittany!!”
– Stefanie S.


2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Real Estate Experts
Ian Perler Team – KW Empower
Philadelphia & Main Line area
“Ian has worked with me for four years showing me properties at my request. He has been patient, accommodating, and any requests I may have had he was always willing to help. That’s why when I found the property of my dreams I called him. He worked with me when other realtors would not give me the time of day.”
– Rosemary R.


“Wonderful experience all around with JL Entertainment! We used this company to add speakers throughout our house. I absolutely love the speakers in my bathroom to listen to music while I shower. Great company all around from knowledgeable employees to flawless equipment. Great people that do great work”
– Nancy F.


2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Landscape Designer
Kagle’s Gardens LLC
Servicing Montgomery County, Delaware County, and Chester County
“Kagle’s has been a trusted business for our unique property. They have created and maintained a serene and beautiful landscape that works to keep water away from, damaging structures and green spaces surrounding carefully trimmed foundation plantings. We have lived here 40 years and our property has not been so beautiful as it has for the past few years Kagle’s has maintained it.”
– Donna D.


“Knorr Electrical is knowledgeable, reliable, efficient, and reasonably priced. We used Dave to fix a wiring issue that occured when a new ceiling fan was installed in our home. His wife Nicole was pleasant on the phone to set up the appointment, and Dave was friendly and approachable while working in our home. The best part was he noticed that one of our cats was standing on the buttons of our water dispenser, which explained the water we were randomly finding on our floor.”
– Main Line Community Parent


“KS Organizing are always on time and are very professional. They always have a good plan and are sensitive to each person’s needs. I thoroughly enjoyed working with three or four of the women on their team and they were lifesavers. They had organizing supplies they knew were tried and true available to use as we cleaned out three generation of near hoarders in our family home. I think their approach is far beyond professional and they deserve this nomination.”
– Tabita


“I absolutely love Lessen the Loads. They are a local, women owned company who support families in so many ways. They offer laundry services, organization, gift wrapping, etc. They give back to the community as well. They are incredibly helpful!”
– Main Line Community Parent


“I am so happy that I found M&D Clean Start! They have been cleaning my house for over a year now. The team that comes to my house is wonderful – kind and really good at what they do. But what sets this company apart is their customer support. I routinely get calls checking in to see if everything is ok. My saying “yes, I’m happy” isn’t enough for them. They want to know what can be better. When I figure out what can be better, it is then improved on at the next visit. I’ve NEVER seen a company care so much about their customers.”
– Main Line Parent Community

“Mother Earth is a great company with a terrific mission of diverting food waste from municipal waste and creating compost for customers. The communicating is top notch, the notification systems are helpful, and an initial community grant got us starts for the first 3 months free.”
– Main Line Parent Community Parent

Best Moving Company

2025 LOVE AWARD WINNER:
Best Handyman
Wolf Home Pros
Greater Philadelphia area
“I recommend them for a friend of mine and from the moment I reached out, they were incredibly attentive, listening to his needs and offering helpful suggestions. They recently installed several doors in his office home, and he couldn’t be more pleased with the results. The work was done with such precision and care, and the doors look fantastic. Not only was the quality of their work top-notch, but they were also very affordable, offering great value for the service provided. Plus, they showed up exactly when they said they would, which is always a huge plus in my book! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, skilled, and reasonably priced handyman services.”
– Brian C.

Meet the faces behind the brushes and see why their customers love working with them. Being the best in the painting industry is so important, giving back to the community where you work and raise your families…PRICELESS.”

2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Professional Organizing
Functional Fit Home Organizers, LLC
Greater Philadelphia suburbs
“I feel so honored to be able to write a nomination for Joelle McFaddin and Functional Fit Home Organizers. The experience that I have had with Joelle has truly transformed my life. When I met Joelle, I was a retired physician who had an earlier brutal cancer, and then several years later I developed breast cancer as well. I had had seven breast surgeries, and during the middle of my cancer, my husband and I had split. My home during this crisis had become almost unlivable, and I was embarrassed to let anyone into my home. I finally realized that I needed help. With this state of mind, I was overwhelmed, and I was even uncomfortable letting Joelle into my home. But when she saw the disaster my home had become, she never once made me feel embarrassed. There are no words to fully communicate how much Joelle transformed my home and my life. Having her help and the company of such a kind, patient, beautiful soul who listened to me when I needed it most literally gave me back a life that had reached a point of not knowing how I would get back to the person that I had been before my cancer. I found that with each visit, Joelle’s energy was infectious, and I felt myself getting back the energy that I had lost. Although my cancer continues, I am now back to the person who had been volunteering for years and contributing to the field that I loved, and I am once again so proud of my home and have welcomed back the company of my friends and family. And still, if I need help with an area that has deteriorated a bit, or if I discover another area that I just cannot do on my own, Joelle has come back once again with her energy but also with her kindness, and I feel so lucky that I have Joelle in my life. She is the epitome of a woman filled with love and compassion (and talent!), and again, it is an absolute privilege being able to nominate Joelle McFaddin for the Main Line Parent Love Award.”
– Donna D.

We have worked with her and have family members who have also bought and sold with her. Her staging and marketing skills are the absolute best around and she can transform a space in a matter of hours with her keen eye and knack interior design. We’ve loved working with Leah and recommend her to anyone we know who wants to buy or sell a home on the main line. Her Instagram handle is @alongthemainline and there she shares helpful tips and information about the area.”

– Shannan M.

2025 FAMILY FAVORITE HONOREE:
Painter
PJA Services
Delaware, Chester, & Montgomery Counties
“PJA Services painted the exterior of our historic home. Communications were prompt and professional. On site the crew worked efficiently and kept a clean work site. We’re very pleased with the entire process. We wanted a complex color scheme and that required a lot of on-the-spot decision making. Pete and the crew leaders were patient and helpful throughout the process.”
