How the Saint Petersburg ranking works
Each company is compared only with others from the city and the region, and market averages leave other cities out. A place requires at least 70% of the criteria weight to be verified. Prices and warranty terms come from the company's own website, and we keep the page and a quote on file.
Where the data come from
Questions and answers
How are the five criteria weighted?
Reviews 35%, price transparency 20%, warranty 20%, years in business 15%, replies to negative reviews 10%.
Which warranty counts?
The standard free warranty on installation work, taken from the company's website or contract. Extended or paid warranties and product warranties on profiles, hardware or materials are not counted. The top of the scale is the 90th percentile of warranty periods among all companies, currently ten years.
How are replies to reviews scored?
We take one to three star reviews from the past twelve months and count the share that received a reply from the company. That share times ten gives the score.
Who is left out?
Firms from other industries, firms based outside the city and the region, and firms removed by the editorial team. A company with less than 70% of the weight verified stays on the list without a place.
Can a company pay for a higher place?
No. Places come from the formula alone. Any paid placement is labelled as advertising.
