Celebrating Excellence: Applause's First Annual Top 10 Awards Highlighting Home Service Leaders

Applause Unveils Inaugural Top 10 Awards for Home Services



On January 12, 2026, Applause, the foremost platform for tracking performance and incentives within home services, proudly announced the winners of its first-ever Applause Top 10 Awards. This new initiative aims to acknowledge and celebrate outstanding companies that significantly excel in service-led growth within the home services sector, focusing particularly on HVAC, pest control, and landscape industries.

The Applause Top 10 Awards were established to recognize those who consistently provide exceptional customer experiences that transform frontline services into a competitive edge. As a result, these awards highlight companies that not only meet customer expectations but exceed them, fostering greater loyalty and growth.

This year's award categories included:
  • - HVAC: Best Google Reviews
  • - HVAC: Highest Customer Satisfaction Scores
  • - Pest Control: Best Google Reviews
  • - Pest Control: Highest Customer Satisfaction Scores
  • - Lawn & Landscape: Best Google Reviews
  • - Lawn & Landscape: Highest Customer Satisfaction Scores

Winners were selected based on an analysis of over 18,000 data points from nearly 3,000 home services companies. Using Applause platform data, Google ratings were normalized based on review volume, and customer satisfaction scores were calculated considering response quantities. This rigorous process ensures that only those companies demonstrating consistent, scalable service excellence are honored as winners.

CEO and co-founder of Applause, Taylor Olson, emphasized the significance of these awards: "The Applause Top 10 provides a data-driven perspective on which home service companies across the nation deliver exceptional service week after week. These businesses demonstrate that investing in customer experience and frontline performance naturally leads to growth. They're setting a high bar for other modern home service providers."

The unveiling of the 2026 awards marks the beginning of a program designed to continue recognizing top-tier service organizations within the industry for years to come.
