Best Businesses in Houston, TX

Have used them for years to perform all sorts of repairs, both major and minor. Always professional, on time, quality work and very responsive.

Yelp's localization does a disservice to contractors since the best of the best probably don't live in your immediate neighborhood.

John Henshaw and his crew qualify as the best of the best. Plus, he's a master electrician. (see tiny.cc/jhenshaw)

Now, let's be honest, We all want the most for our pennies and we may think that hiring a handyman to install simple things like fans make economic sense.  Think again. Hiring a licensed electrician is not that much more (Last i checked Henshaw Electric charged $150 per fan; the half-wit handyman I hired through craigslist charged $100 per fan. SInce I had to get Henshaw to re-hang said fan it actually cost me $250), He also grounded all the plugs in & around my computer and installed a surge suppressor in the electric box to safeguard all my stuff.

And yes, a licensed guy will charge a few bucks more but they are worth every penny. I can sleep at night knowing my fan or stove or whatever isn't going to burst into flames.

I've hired Ramon Umana twice since we went into contract for our new home.  He's dependable, professional, and courteous.  He emails to set up appointments too.  Ramon has rewired a number of outlets in my home, installed new lighting, and repaired faulty work done by another electrician.  I recommend him!

Double Diamond was a pleasure to deal with. Billie Vaughn does top notch work and I will use him anytime I get the opportunity. Highly recommended.

Came out, and gave me a very fair estimate on running a commercial 240V line, great service found a solution

Jamie was a God Sent. He did a great job he is quick and fair.

Very quick turnaround with great quality. Ben was very professional and helpful.

Quick response.  Showed up when they said they would.  Found the problem and fixed it.  Also, cheaper diagnostic fee than others in the area.  Can't ask for much more than that.

Philip was incredibly professional, super timely and very personable!  We needed a chandelier hung from our vaulted ceiling.  It was a task we had neither the equipment or expertise to accomplish without physical or structural damage.  He had it done in short order with several height adjustments while being guided by my wife on FaceTime. He was very patient and accommodating!  Highly recommend him.  We will be using him again when we replace our  ceiling fixtures in our under beach house deck!

I have used Rubio Electric many times and consistently gotten great customer service. It's run very professionally. I always get a quick callback from the owner, Justin, and he always gets over to help quickly. He is polite, follows up to make sure everything is ok, cleans up, sends a clear, professional invoice, and has never failed to do anything but excellent work. I recently needed some work and not only did he promise a start time, I got a confirmation phone call and text confirming it. This time two of his employees came. They confirmed their arrival, were polite, clean, extra helpful, gave me additional clear instructions for what I needed to do, and were very nice and friendly - and professional - to deal with.  If only more contractors could do the same. Justin and his team installed Ring devices (some walls had to be opened up), and did other interior work. I will always use and recommend them in the future.

Shane was great and really worked within my budget. I had his guys add some outdoor electrical outlets, fans, and more. They Ensured it was water tight, used good materials and followed code. I appreciate the hard work his guys did, they were here until 8:30PM to ensure they completed the job, and did it right! I'll be using Murphy's electric again.

He was on time, on budget, cleaned up. Everything was just great!!!!   Would hire him again many times!

The company is great.  Came out to give me an estimate to insulate my attic and gave me several options.  I had the Radiant Barrier installed. They were booked for the next few weeks but Luis got me in earlier because of a cancellation.  The guys went out and did a terrific job.  They were very neat, clean and efficient.  Very respectful of my home.  They should me the finished work and it really did look good.  Luis called to follow up with me and make sure that I was pleased with the work.  I would recommend this company and would certainly use them again.

OVERPRICED! I called them to install an GFCI outlet with a weatherproof receptacle outside under my patio. I asked them to give a ball park estimate over the phone. They claimed that they would need to see exactly what is requested before giving a price. (RED FLAG) This was a horrible lesson learned. They quoted $900. Wasted $60 service call. DO NOT USE THEM.

I used to use John Henshaw exclusively years ago. He helps me fix up the wiring in my old apartment just enough so that my computers were protected. I was sad to see he'd moved on to focus on commercial projects and  happy for him that he is doing so well at it.

UPDATE:  Owners contacted me and noted that the issue was invoiced incorrectly, made corrections and sent me a new invoice for my leak damage. They are coming out next week to make some revisions to my electrical system.  I give them an A for effort so far.  Hopefully, things will work out.

ORIGINAL POST:
Mister Sparky came out to tell me if the wires in a particular room were OK after a leak.  He diagnosed a long list of things that would cost over 6K to repair....probably more like 7K...it was extreme.  These items were not near the leak.  Also, I was charged for a service that was not done according to receipt.  I had an inspection and the invoice said something else, which I hope wasn't more expensive than it should have been. It said a panel rejuvenation. Also, they charge an estimation fee.  In total, his visit was $407.  I called the office to get a corrected receipt for my insurance claim and they never returned the call.  If I follow up on the recommendations, I will not use this company.

Their representative was very polite and punctual. According to the list of needed repairs, I can assume he was thorough.  He just wasn't completing what I had called him for and instead came up with an extremely inflated repair list.  At the end, they have you complete a satisfaction survey right in front of the guy...rather uncomfortable...like you are going to say something bad right in front of him.  I was ready for him to leave...anything to get him out the door.

Tried to reach the company for 1 week, left numerous messages when their phones were working . Never received a call back.

If they can't even answer their phones, I doubt they can complete a job properly and if you had trouble you would never be able to reach them.

DO NOT USE.

Awful and I always call a local business first because it is important to me. This company showed up immediately due to an emergency but this is the best thing I can say about them. I think the company has tanked and it is probably for the best. Way over charged and just down right depressing.
