What is a Contractor Score?

    The Contractor Score is a third-party financial rating system with scores that range from 0 to 2,000. It’s meant to assess short-term liquidity, stability, and the ability to finish projects on time and within budget. High scores indicate less financial risk and more operational strength.

    Van Kirk & Sons holds one of the highest Contractor Scores in the industry and is outperforming competitors across South Florida and nationwide.

    How the Contractor Score Is Calculated

    Based on objective financial data, the score is calculated using the following:

    • A recent audit or review of fiscal year financials
    • Latest internally generated quarterly financial statements
    • Liquidity ratios, working capital, and cash reserves
    • Current project backlogs vs available resources and capital.

    The scores are updated quarterly to reflect ongoing fiscal health.

    Scoring Ranges & What They Mean

    • 0–500 (Weak): A company with this score is under financial stress with limited cash resources, making it a high-risk choice.
    • 550-650 (Fair): A company with this score is financially stable, but with limited resources.
    • 650-800 (Good): A solid score, this shows a company is in a good position, with enough financial capabilities to handle operations.
    • 800-1000+ (Excellent): A top-tier score, proven financial backbone. Reliable and well-established business.
    • Van Kirk Pools (1000+): Van Kirk is proud to have achieved the highest score possible. Demonstrating exceptional financial strength, strong cash reserves, and a tight commitment to risk management.

    By maintaining a consistently excellent score, we provide our clients peace of mind that every project is backed by a financially responsible and professionally managed company.
