Best Businesses in Texas

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.

Totally unprofessional!. I called him( Ray) yesterday gave him my situation and address he said he would be here by 10am and that he would call me in the morning. He called at 9:46 to say he would be here in 45 min. at 10:23 he called back to say he thought I was close by to him. I told him I was on the southeast part of town and off the beltway. in the first call. According to the map on Yelp we are well within the area he serves. My impression is that he did not want to come at the last min he just wanted to get out of it and he got his wish....If I were you unless you are in his zip code and even then don't bother to call this unprofessional business.

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.

JL Electric was great to work with.  I called them on a Monday morning and Scott was able to accommodate my schedule and come out same day; even coming out late in the evening.  Professional and would recommend to anyone.

I hired an electrician to upgrade my 150 amp main breaker in preparation for a pool.  He said I would need to add a new breaker box with a 400 amp main breaker, at a cost of nearly $5,000. Thankfully, I then found Phillip Hensley.

Phillip explained that a 400 amp upgrade would be overkill and that I probably didn't even need to upgrade at all.  Needless to say, that kind of honesty demonstrates the degree of Phillip's integrity, and I immediately decided to hire him without looking any further.

To future proof my home, I decided to go ahead and upgrade the service to 225 amps and I had Phillip perform the work.  He kept me informed throughout the process, adjusted his schedule to accommodate Texas New Mexico Power's very unaccommodating way of doing business, completed the work quickly and professionally, and charged the price he originally quoted, saving me nearly $4,000 that I would have simply wasted had I hired the first electrician!

As far as I'm concerned, I now have an electrician for life.  I will not hesitate to recommend Phillip to family, friends, and anyone else who is in need of a very honest and very capable Master Electrician!

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.

I called this business and the gentleman (not sure if he's the owner or staff member) immediately answered. Unfortunately, he sounded as if he were obviously busy which is fine but it felt as if I was bothering him. We decided that he would come out at his convenience which would be the following week. I thought about the call, our conversation and how I felt. I began searching for another electrician or handyman. The call was made and the interaction was the complete opposite of my previous experience. I scheduled an appointment for the next day and immediately called the gentleman respectfully to cancel my appointment. I didn't get an answer so I proceeded to send a text message but I never received a callback or follow up. He should've at least returned my call or text to inquire about why I was canceling and then offer an apology. That never happened.

Very responsive, reasonable and professional!  The guys worked quickly with replacing light fixtures and breaker panel in my office.  Would definitely use them again

This company is a sham. Run away as fast as you can. They lure you in with free a/c, furnace, electrical and plumbing inspections and modest discounts off book prices if you become a preferred member @$8/month, but come up with an incredible number of additional services on every visit. These services most often are not needed and if they are, they are way overpriced!

As an example, they quoted $694 to add up to 3 lbs of Freon ($231/lb with 15% discount). My new A/C guy charged $75 for $1.5 lbs of Freon ($50/lb). Note: there would have been no prorated cost for amounts less than 3 lbs and in my case would have been paying an effective rate of $462/lb!!!!

They deserve no stars, much less a single star (my opinion of course).

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.

Mike came out last Friday after we were having AC issues.
Our electrical panel was on the fritz and we needed a new meter.

He was very professional and knew what the problem was right away.
Mister Sparky comes to your home with a fully stocked van, so we were able to get our problem fixed immediately.  He spent most of the day here working and had it all up and running in no time.
We got a great deal, but most importantly we felt he was honest and got the job done just like we wanted.
Great company, great employees, good prices.
Thanks Mister Sparky and thank you Mike!

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.

This place is a complete disgrace.  They charged us, then took the marginally working piece of equipment and never returned it (although they made several appointments to come back and do so, they just never showed up.)   So for 140$ they made the problem much worse.
