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), how many permits it filed in the last 12 months (15) and how quickly its permits closed (10). Each measure is ranked against the other 72 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 Denton permit file, not from reviews: 40 of 72 home builders filed a permit in the last 12 months and 98% 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 Denton.

The license file we match against for Denton rarely covers new home firms (2 of 72 matched), so a missing status here says nothing about a firm. TDLR licenses A/C and electrical contractors; plumbers are licensed by the Texas State Board of Plumbing Examiners, irrigators by TCEQ, and Texas does not license general contractors, builders, roofers or fence companies, so this is often expected — ask for their license number and check it with the right state agency. Ask for the license or registration number and check it with Texas TDLR license search. How to check a contractor's license in Texas →
