Most of the traffic to this page is homeowners, not contractors. If you are trying to hire a plumber rather than market one, four things matter more than the star rating.
Check review recency, not the rating. Almost every plumber in San Antonio shows between 4.7 and 4.9 stars — we measured this across 513 Texas contractors. The rating tells you very little. Whether reviews arrived in the last 90 days tells you the business is still active and still doing good work.
Judge them by response speed. A contractor who takes two days to return a call about an estimate will take two days when something goes wrong after the job.
Verify license and insurance yourself. Ask for the license number and look it up with the state. Ask for a current certificate of insurance. A legitimate contractor expects the question.
Get an itemized written quote. Labor and materials listed separately, with a validity period. A verbal number is not a quote.
