Why Kent County prices differ
- Labor: no measured metro wage for this area, so the U.S. average is used.
Method: the median typical range in published cost guides, times the metro construction wage over the U.S. wage (BLS, May 2024), times a home-value factor of 1 + 0.35 x ln(town median home value / Michigan median), held between 0.85 and 1.45. Square-foot rows use the guides' $4.25 to $6.50 per sq ft rate at local labor cost. Sources: Fixr, LawnStarter, Thumbtack, Census.

Why trust this list
This list is built from a Google Business Profile data pull and a direct read of each company's own website — never from a company's self-submitted form. No company can pay for a better position; the same published formula runs on every list. Read the formula. The underlying data is re-checked at least once a year.
How a company earns the "Top-rated" badge
The top 3 companies on this list earn a "Top-rated 2026" badge only if they also have a rating of at least 4.5 from at least 20 ratings received. The badge is never sold and never changes a company's position — it is applied after the formula already ran. It is recomputed from fresh data every year, so a badge from an earlier year does not carry forward automatically. No badge carries any guarantee or money-back promise.
