How this score is calculated

A business is ranked only if it is located in Chicago, open, and has at least 25 Google reviews; its City license is being checked. It then gets a score out of 10 on each of the four criteria below.

  1. Satisfaction

    The Google star rating on its full scale (5 stars score 10), adjusted for the number of reviews: a 5.0 from eight reviews does not beat a 4.8 from three hundred.

    Weight 70 %

  2. Volume

    The total number of reviews, compared with the most-reviewed business in the same trade in the city, which scores 10.

    Weight 15 %

  3. Recency

    The number and rating of reviews received in the last twelve months. A business has to be good now, not five years ago.

    Weight 10 %

  4. Response to customers

    The share of reviews from the last twelve months that the business answered publicly.

    Weight 5 %

About this calculation

  • 500 Google listings of roofers rated 4 out of 5 or higher were examined in October 2026. 100 are located in the City of Chicago, open, and have at least 25 reviews. When one business has several listings, only the main one is kept.
  • Recency and Response: for the best-placed businesses, we read the most recent Google reviews, up to 120 per listing, with their rating and whether the owner replied. When all 120 reviews read are less than a year old, the business received more than 100 in the year: recency gets the top mark.
  • A business is ranked in the trade its recent reviews talk about most, and in one trade only. Handymen, booking platforms and stores are not ranked. Gutter specialists are not ranked as roofers.
  • In Chicago, the score rests on four criteria: satisfaction 70%, volume 15%, recency 10%, response 5%. Satisfaction uses the full Google star scale: 5 stars score 10. Volume is measured against the most-reviewed business in the same trade in Chicago. Seniority and record will be added with the City license check.
