As long as the sample size is large enough, the outliers will be disregarded and the reviews will give a reasonable picture of how the contractor does business.
I totally understand but, all it takes is ONE bad comment for people to pass over you. If that comment is unfounded it still doesn't matter.
In this day and age some people say what they want weather it is true or not.
I rely on referrals and honestly my business is doing well but still.
