Before you move a slider, the list is in a default order built only from the permit record: how much of each firm’s record is this kind of job (weight 30), how often its permits reached completion (25) and how many permits it filed in the last 12 months (15). Each measure is ranked against the other 815 firms and pulled toward the middle when a record is short; a firm with a matched license problem is listed last.
The order comes from the Columbus permit file, not from reviews: 479 of 815 siding contractors filed a permit in the last 12 months and 37% of their permits a year or more old were finished. Nobody pays to be listed or to move up, and there are no star ratings or reviews. The sliders and presets change the weights, and the order changes with them. How the records work in Columbus.

The license file we match against for Columbus rarely covers exterior firms (14 of 815 matched), so a missing status here says nothing about a firm. Ohio licenses electrical, HVAC, hydronics, plumbing and refrigeration contractors only — roofers, remodelers, waterproofers and home builders need no state license — and a licensed firm can file under a different name, so this is a gap in our match, not a finding. Ask for the license or registration number and check it with Ohio OCILB license lookup. How to check a contractor's license in Ohio →
