4 factors · published
How this ranking works.
The exact factor order, so you can judge it — and so no one can buy their way up.
- 1 · Verified ownership (dominant). A builder who has claimed and verified their listing outranks any unverified one, regardless of profile polish.
- 2 · Profile completeness. Small additive points for a real description, website, phone, photos, specialties, service area, years in business, warranty, and financing — the chips on each card show exactly which.
- 3 · Customer reviews, once real. Moderated reviews add a bounded boost (rating × volume, capped). Builders with no reviews get zero here — we never fabricate ratings.
- 4 · Featured status breaks ties only. Paying for a featured listing buys directory sort priority and a badge — it cannot move a builder up this ranking. Two builders with identical scores sort featured-first; that is the entire effect.
Rankings recompute at every site deploy from live directory data. A position here is not an endorsement — always verify licensing, insurance, references, and finished work before signing.
