## Why it ranks here

It loses the most on the number of reviews, 7.9 of 16.7 points, with 88 Google reviews against the 5,000 needed for full credit. It earns no bonus points: we did not find published prices, 24/7 service shown in its Google hours or a written workmanship warranty with a stated term on its website.
