How the ratings work

Rating is each company’s live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated it, compared with the other drywall companies. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 5.0 from more than 300 people carries more weight than a 5.0 from fewer. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.
