Methodology

Real reviews from real finished jobs.

A good review should mean something. Ours come from homeowners after a real Onward job is done — not strangers on the web. Here's exactly how we review and rank roofers.

Onward only counts reviews from real homeowners after a real, finished Onward job. There are no anonymous web reviews, no fake reviews, and no paid placements. We rank roofers by their rating, recent verified work, warranty follow-through, and how they fix problems. No roofer can pay to rank higher.

Where reviews come from

Where do Onward reviews come from?

From you — after the job is done. Every review is tied to a real, completed Onward job. That's the only way one counts.

Real, finished jobs only

A review only counts after the roofer did the work and you saw it done. No job, no review. It's that simple.

Tied to a real homeowner

Every review comes from the homeowner we matched. No anonymous strangers. No reviews bought from a list.

No anonymous web reviews

We don't pull star ratings from random sites. Those can be faked or bought. We only trust reviews we can stand behind.

How we rank roofers

How does Onward rank roofers?

We weigh real work over flashy words. Here's what we measure — and why it keeps you safe.

Factor What we measure Why it matters
Rating The star score from real homeowners after a finished job. It shows how people felt once the work was done — not before.
Recent verified jobs How many real Onward jobs they've finished lately. A roofer doing good work now is safer than one coasting on old praise.
Warranty follow-through Do they honor the written warranty when something needs a fix? A warranty only helps you if the roofer actually shows up for it.
Responsiveness How fast they answer and show up for matched homeowners. A leak can't wait. Fast, steady pros keep your home dry.
Complaint resolution When a job goes sideways, how well they make it right. Good roofers fix problems. How they handle a bad day tells you a lot.

What we reject

What kinds of reviews do you reject?

Anything that could trick you out. If it isn't real and earned, it doesn't count.

Fake reviews

Made-up praise, bot reviews, friends-and-family puffery. None of it counts. We check the job is real first.

Paid placements

No roofer can pay for a better rating or a higher spot. You can't buy your way to the top here.

Reviews with no real job

If there's no finished Onward job behind it, it doesn't count. No job, no review — every time.

The Onward Shield

No pay-to-rank. Ever.

A roofer can't buy a higher rank, a better rating, or a top spot. Ranking is earned by real work and real reviews — full stop. We'd rather lose a paying roofer than mislead you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Still have a question? Talk to our team →

Yes. Every review comes from a real homeowner after a real, finished Onward job. We check that the job happened before the review counts. There are no anonymous web reviews and no fakes.
No. Roofers can't buy a higher spot, a better rating, or a top result. There is no pay-to-rank. Ranking is earned by real work and real reviews — nothing else.
Bad reviews count. If a roofer slips on quality, follow-through, or complaints, their rank drops. We re-check every pro yearly, and a roofer who stops meeting the bar can lose their spot in The Onward Shield.
Every year. License, insurance, warranty follow-through, and reviews all get re-checked. A good rating today has to be earned again next year. The Onward Shield is not a one-time stamp.
Only if it breaks the rules — a fake, a paid placement, or a review with no real job behind it. We never remove a real, honest review just because it's bad. Honest beats flattering, every time.
