“Tom O’Neil is always friendly and does whatever he can to help. As a professional organizer that helps people, usually seniors, move, he was willing to get me moving boxes at a discount for an unusually large job. He made the whole process easy for me and my client. I highly recommend him and his company.”

“We had Matt from Arbor Craft come out for a consultation regarding a particular tree on our property that we have been worried about. It’s a large tree that is shading our house and we love it. Over the years, we have received differing opinions from tree companies on whether it should come down. When Matt came out, not only did he give us great information on the tree with recommendations, but he went through every tree on our property. He was a wealth of information and so patient with all of our questions. They are so deserving to be nominated for best tree care company.”

“I have worked with Artisan Painting going on 4 years now. The company I was previously working for was going under and Jon and Mike hired me at the slowest time of the season to give me an opportunity, so I wasn’t out of work. Since day one I could see how much love and passion they have for this company and their employees working here. Jon and Mike love to see everyone around them succeed even their biggest competitors. I had the privilege of joining Jon this year in helping to put together bikes for kids in need for Christmas which he has been doing the last few years. It felt amazing to put together these bikes knowing these kids were going to be riding them with the biggest smiles on their faces. Artisan Painting goes above and beyond for the community and their clients as well as for other companies. They always provide the best quality work and consistently deliver attentive, knowledgeable and solution-focused support. They are here to genuinely help people out and not take advantage of them. Artisan Painting has a great work life balance with the understanding of family first. When emergencies or situations come up, we team up together to help each other out. Together we help each other become the best versions of ourselves that we can.”

“Sean was great ! He educated me on remedies , what to do and not to do and was extremely polite and professional. He informed me of what he is doing and spraying and reassured me that the traps and spray are safe. Excellent job, highly recommended.”

“We needed a new steam boiler and I got 4 estimates. As soon as Eric came over, I recognized him from when he came over a few years before when he worked with another company— he worked so hard to fix our A/C problem then that I knew he was a gem and was happy to hire him. He not only installed the new boiler with skill, he was genuinely excited about the process, and checked in with us regularly to make sure we were happy with and understood the process. He was generous with his expertise and was a lot of fun to work with. I would hire him again in a heartbeat.”

“We had an amazing experience with Hello Garage of Philadelphia! We first met them at the Philadelphia Home and Garden Show and were really impressed with their knowledge and professionalism. Mike was fantastic—super friendly, professional, and incredibly thorough in explaining the entire process. He made sure we knew exactly what to expect and didn’t leave out a single detail. We originally scheduled our garage floor coating for a week or so out, but they had a cancellation and got us in within a day or two, which was a great surprise! Bryan and Rich showed up right on time, were incredibly friendly and professional, and worked FAST. Seriously, these guys don’t mess around! And the results? Let’s just say, the name Hello Garage makes total sense—because now, every time we open the garage door, we’re like, ‘HELLO, GORGEOUS!’ If you’re thinking about upgrading your garage floor, don’t even hesitate. Hello Garage of Philadelphia is the way to go. Amazing team, top-notch service, and a floor that makes you do a double-take every time you pull in.”

“Some people help you buy a house. Others help guide you through chapters of your life. I met Ian Perler when I was a single woman buying my very first apartment in Rittenhouse. I was excited, nervous, and stepping into the unknown. Ian didn’t just help me purchase a home, he made me feel confident, supported, and truly cared for. That was the beginning of a relationship that would span years, milestones, and many moves. As my life evolved, Ian was there for every transition. He helped me sell that first apartment and find my next home in Fairmount. As my family grew, he guided us through selling again and buying a new home in Queen Village. And when it was finally time to search for our forever home on the Main Line, in one of the most challenging markets imaginable, there was never a question of who I would call. Ian navigated every obstacle with calm, wisdom, and unwavering dedication. He listened deeply, advocated fiercely, and never once lost sight of what truly mattered to me and my family. What could have been overwhelming felt manageable, even hopeful, because Ian was by our side every step of the way. From a single woman to a mother of two, Ian has supported not just my real estate needs, but my life’s journey. His honesty, integrity, kindness, and tireless commitment are rare in any profession. He doesn’t just find houses, he helps people find home. If you are searching on the Main Line or in town, I truly believe there is no one better. Ian Perler is not just an exceptional realtor; he is someone you can trust with your dreams, your family, and your future.”

“JL Entertainment has now installed three Samsung Frame TVs for us, one in our library, one in our master bedroom and one in our master bathroom. The technicians that installed them were very competent and very polite. We had an issue with the TVs in the master bedroom and master bedroom. The issue was unrelated to JL’s installation. Regardless, they came out to our house three times to help us resolve the issue. Once the issue between the cable company and our electrician was resolved, JL came out to ‘rehang’ the televisions. We were very impressed with JL Entertainment’s service and sense of urgency to help us get our TVs operational. Joe, Michelle and their technicians were very pleasant to work with. We will have them back for any further audio/video need.”

“Dave and his team with Knorr Electrical Contractor have been to my home multiple times over the last few years for various jobs, both big and small. They have always explained things clearly, done the work in a timely manner, and left my home cleaner than when they arrived. One time I had them over, and thought I needed to pay to have something done. Dave suggested another suitable option that made him less money. This kind of honesty and professionalism makes me proud to have them as my contractor, as I feel they are looking out for my best interests, and more concerned about cultivating a relationship with a long-term customer.”

“My favorite thing about this company is how much the moms help other moms. A neighbor in the community had been busy with their daughter who had been diagnosed with leukemia and they were able to get over to their house, help collect the laundry & then wash, dry, fold & deliver back to their house in 24hrs. As another example, a children’s home reached out to them saying their sprinkler system went off ( 2 days before Christmas) leaving 16 kids without clean DRY clothes. Multiple people within the company helped chip in to get the kids their laundry back within 24hrs DURING THE HOLIDAYS! Ally and MC truly care about helping other moms in the community and it shows through the women they carefully hire as well who care so deeply about helping people. They don’t just do laundry for other moms, they cater to everyone including the elderly who can’t leave their apartments and need extra accommodations!”

“Melissa and the team at M&D CleanStart are amazing. I love that they not only provide exceptional service at a fair price, but that they employ women who need a second chance. I’ve talked to the owner of the company, Melissa, about this and it is clear how passionate she is about helping people in need. That means a lot to me and I love supporting businesses whose values I can get behind. In terms of cleaning, they do a great job and always call to check in to make sure that the team did everything asked of them. A great company that just gets it.”

“Anytime I need something done around my house, Maurizzio Home Services always comes at the drop of a hat. I had a really bad leak in my bathroom and it was 11:30 pm and I called them to come over and not only were they there within 20 minutes, they had the water shut off and the problem fixed within a half hour. I trust this company with my family’s life. They have always been there for us and helped us throughout many hard times navigating home ownership. They are a family-oriented business and they care about their customers more than any company I’ve ever experienced. Phil Thomas, the owner, is the nicest guy you’ll ever meet. He tackles every project as if he’s working on his own home and he does not stop until everything is 100% perfect. They have helped us install a brand new water heater when ours burst and flooded our basement, repaired a leak at midnight in my bathroom, and have even helped us when our car died on the side of the road and we were stranded with nowhere to go. We called them as a last ditch effort when nobody else would answer the phone and we were lost and he showed up with his truck to help us find a solution. It’s a family business like this one that keeps this area happy.”

“O’Donnell Roofing is an exceptional company with outstanding leadership – superlatives that manifest through exacting attention to detail, timely and efficient progression of work, continued communication to assure the customer understands the work that is taking place and trustworthy guidance through the entirety of the process. The company and its leaders earned my respect and trust through the completion of various improvements to my house including roof replacement, complicated custom window replacement and assorted interior work. I would hire them again without hesitation.”

“Peyton Webster has an awesome selection of wall to wall carpet and area rugs. Janelle can get everything you see online and in magazines to create the perfect look for your room. I had so much fun picking things out for my family and living room and seeing them live with large samples. When it was time to order, Janelle made it super easy and the prices were good. I will definitely go back for all my future rug and carpet needs.”

“Working with The Golden Hands team is like finding an extension of your family. They are hard working, creative, prompt, and reliable. Their team has always come into my home and been friendly with us, our children, even our loud barking dog. I trust them implicitly for small tasks like helping to hang a television over my stone fireplace and large projects like a full kitchen renovation (that included 2 half baths) and turning our boring unfinished basement into an entertainment and workout space for the whole family.”

“We just are completing a project with Zinnia, and could not be more pleased. Patricia and Syntel transformed our living room in ways we could not have imagined. We never sat in there before and now we enjoy the space so much! They are a pleasure to work with, so responsive and attentive. I wholeheartedly recommend them, and would not hesitate to work with them again.”

“Whenever I have a job that needs done around the house that I don’t trust myself to do, I always know I can turn to A to Z Family Business. From changing a high-up lightbulb that was too dangerous to reach, to anchoring wall fixtures- I always know I can count on their quality work. When I request a quote and then schedule a job, my questions are answered promptly and I get scheduled within 24 hours of starting the conversation. Whoever shows up for the job is always on time and very competent. Love them.”

“I’ve been ripped off in the past by other contractors, but Brandy immediately made me feel comfortable hiring her. She is very knowledgeable and answered every question and concern I had. Even her crew was a pleasure to be around. It truly felt like I had family over. They repaired water damage in my ceiling and painted my living room and kitchen. The results are amazing, you’d never know there was once a hole in my ceiling!”

“As the owner of a local small business, we believe in surrounding our clients, family, and friends with trusted partners we can stand behind with confidence. American Craftsman is one of those exceptional companies. They are a locally-owned business that truly cares about their customers. Jim and his team are friendly, knowledgeable, and reliable, and their commitment to quality shows in every project. We have had the opportunity to work alongside them on many jobs and have seen firsthand the pride they take in their work. When you reach out, you will likely connect with Lynn, who is incredibly responsive, patient, and knowledgeable. From start to finish, American Craftsman delivers a professional and positive experience.”

“This is a multigenerational business. The knowledge and talent they have is exceptional. Emma Boursalian and her mother have years of experience designing custom window treatments, helping with upholstery projects and interior space planning and design. I love how you can go into their shop and see the work being done. She listens to her customers and helps them identify the right touch for their project. I had a set of antique furniture gifted to me from a family member. I had picked out an accent fabric but needed to find the right fabric to redo the seats. I love the material she picked. It is soft and durable and compliments my fabric perfectly. The furniture came back better than before. She got rid of the horse hair and actually made them comfortable to sit on.”

“I can’t recommend Sarah and her team enough. They know the Main Line like the back of their hand. I will never forget the care and attention Sarah put in helping me navigate buying our home in such a chaotic market. I knew she had my best interest at every turn and I felt she really had my back when it came to the contract. Highly recommend!”

“When we bought our Main Line home, we knew we were taking on a project. Every room was painted a different color—deep reds, heavy browns, odd yellows—each one making the house feel smaller and more chaotic than it really was. With two kids, busy jobs, and a long to-do list, the idea of coordinating a full interior repaint felt overwhelming. Groovy Hues Painting of the Main Line ended up being the part of this move that gave us the most relief. From the first visit, Michelle and Matt weren’t just ‘paint consultants.”’They listened. They asked about how we use each room, what feels calming to us, how our kids play, even when sunlight hits certain walls. Instead of pushing trends, they helped us picture a home that finally felt like ours—a palette of soft neutrals, a warm satin sheen in the kitchen, and an accent wall in our daughter’s room that she still proudly shows off to friends. And then there was Leah. She became our lifeline during the project. She coordinated everything around our family’s rhythm and treated our chaotic schedule like a puzzle she was determined to solve. She even rearranged the loudest prep work so it happened while we were out at swim lessons, which saved us from a few nap-time meltdowns. The moment that really stayed with us happened in the dining room. There had been an old ceiling patch—an eyesore every other contractor shrugged at. We assumed we’d be stuck with it forever. Instead, the Groovy Hues team repaired it meticulously, blended it perfectly, and never brought up an extra charge. Today the house feels brighter, calmer, and strangely bigger.”

“I needed help replanting large front garden. Luke Bunting, the owner, was very knowledgeable and helpful with plant selection which were deer resistant and added beauty to the front of our home throughout the spring and summer and well into the fall. His crew was courteous, on time, and did a thorough cleanup after they completed the job. I have also used them for grass cutting and for a fall cleanup. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking to establish, change or improve their landscaping!”

“A locally-owned small business that truly cares about their clients. A home remodeling project can be overwhelming, but working with the team at Jake of All Trades, LLC makes the process simple and enjoyable. They truly care about your home and offer impeccable workmanship to make your remodeling dreams come true.”

“I have know Mel for a number of years through our involvement at the local Home Builders Association. As a builder myself, I have always been impressed with Melissa’s passion in the industry, her dedication to her customers by listening to the needs of her clients, and ability to provide a professional and personal satisfaction that is specifically and uniquely catered to her clients. When I decided to buy a house (and sell my existing), there was no doubt who I was going to use. While I recognize I am not the easiest of clients because I am tough to deal with and somewhat of a know it all, I knew she would get it done in the time and price range I needed. She did her homework, did the work, provided valuable insight and was a resource that made my the transition from my previous house to my current home a fun and stress-free experience. Thanks Mel! My favorite Realtor!”

“Simplify Your Space came into our home of 4 children, provided a vision for our insanely messy finished basement, and executed that vision above and beyond our wildest dreams. Honestly, after Simplify Your Space was done, my wife and I felt like we were just on a home improvement TV show. The service was so amazing, we booked Simplify Your Space for another project. The impact Simplify Your Space had on our lives: We don’t waste time looking for things because everything has a place. Our kids have more space to spread out so they are not on top of each other, which means they argue less. When we have people over, everyone is impressed with our house and the adults and kids can separate into different spaces. With our house organized, we tackled other things on the to-do list. I cannot say enough good things about Simplify Your Space.”
