Why it matters
The residential ranking pulls each rating toward a fixed 4.6-star reference with a weight of 50 reviews, so a company with a few dozen reviews needs a near-perfect rating to rank high, while hundreds of reviews let a 4.9 hold its place. The gap between the top and bottom medians is partly that design and partly how review volume is distributed in Kansas City.
A count under 50 is less evidence, not a finding about workmanship.
What this number can’t tell you
- Review counts include all of a company’s work; multi-trade listings can include HVAC or plumbing jobs.
- Listings with fewer than ten reviews are not ranked and are excluded here; see the rating distribution finding for every matched listing.
- Counts are from one observation date and change daily.
What to do with it
- Read a company’s review count next to its rating before comparing two 5.0s.
- For a small firm, ask for recent references on work like yours.
