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 on file (15). Each measure is ranked against the other 31 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 Waco permit file, not from reviews: 19 of 31 pool builders filed a permit in the last 12 months on file 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 Waco.

The license file we match against for Waco rarely covers pool firms (0 of 31 matched), so a missing status here says nothing about a firm. Irrigators are licensed by TCEQ (not linked here); roofers, pool builders, remodelers and home builders need no state license in Texas.
