How we score skylight contractors in Citrus County

What the score is

The Citrus County, Florida Skylight Contractor Guide is published by Skylights Citrus County, an independent local directory covering residential skylight repair, leak repair, replacement, and installation across the county. Right now it scores 49 businesses. Each one gets a composite score from 0 to 100, built from five measured signals. The rankings are maintained by Priya Vogel, Editorial Lead, who oversees how the rubric is applied.

We are not a skylight contractor. We organize publicly available information so homeowners can compare options. Being listed is not an endorsement or a guarantee of service.

The five signals and their weights

Signal	Weight	What it measures
Sentiment	28%	A synthesis of recent review themes: praise versus complaints
Rating	26%	Google aggregate star rating
Volume	20%	How many reviews, log-scaled
Completeness	16%	Whether phone, website, hours and address are listed
Recency	10%	How recently customers reviewed

Sentiment (28%)

This is the heaviest signal on purpose. A star average hides patterns. Two businesses can both sit at 4.6 stars, yet one collects repeated complaints about the same thing, such as a leak that came back after a repair, missed appointments, or poor follow-up. Reading what recent reviews actually say is the only way to catch that. For skylight work, where a repair that fails means water in the ceiling, repeat problems matter more than the headline number.

Rating (26%)

The Google star rating is a quick, widely understood read on overall satisfaction. We weight it second because it is useful but blunt.

Volume (20%)

More reviews mean a more reliable picture. We scale volume logarithmically, so going from 5 to 50 reviews counts for much more than going from 300 to 345. A handful of reviews does not equal hundreds.

Completeness (16%)

We check whether a business lists a phone number, website, hours and address. A homeowner with a leaking roof window needs to reach someone and confirm they are a real, local operation. Missing basics make that harder.

Recency (10%)

Companies change staff and quality over time. Recent reviews tell you more about who would show up today than reviews from years ago.

Honest limits

• Low-confidence scores. A business with few recent reviews gets a score we label as low confidence. Treat it as a starting point, not a verdict.
• We synthesise, not republish. We summarize review themes in our own words and link out to Google so you can read the source reviews yourself.
• Public data only. We do not inspect work, verify licenses, or check insurance. Confirm those directly before hiring anyone.
• Snapshots. Reviews and listings change, and scores reflect the data at the time we collected it.

Scores are earned, not edited

Scores come from this rubric and this data only. We never edit them by hand. Paid placement, when it exists, is always labelled and never changes a score. If a list's picks or order were reviewed by an editor, that list says so on the page itself.
