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 professional. Timely, thorough, fair pricing -  explained everything prior to doing the work. I had them do more work than I had planned, because i was that impressed.

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.

Answered the phone promptly and could give me a quote on the phone. The job was easily booked and Steve the electrician that came out was very pleasant and explained thoroughly what he was doing. Highly recommend!

Phil is the man. He has done many things in multiple properties for me. Always reliable and pleasant to work with. This masterpiece was his latest. This chandelier took 2 full days given how large it is. I had to work the 2nd day and had him let himself in. He is trustworthy and is also great with dogs! I don't even need to look elsewhere for my electrical work. Thank you as always for the incredible work!

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!

Very promptly replied to my yelp query. (One other company said they could not come out until the middle of next week!) Power was off to half my house. Luis was able to come out same day, within 2 hours. He was able to verify that the problem was that one hot leg leading to my main breaker was down, which means the utility company had to fix it. He even offered to cut my price since there wasn't much for him to do. He also spent some extra time looking up the rules for me on the utility company's responsibilities so I knew that I wouldn't have to pay for fixing the line. Much appreciated!

I really cannot express how horrible our experience with Universal Home Experts was. Our pipes burst during the recent TX Freeze and we called Universal Home Experts to come fix our busted pipe. We were so grateful for them to come in and fix it until they told us the price. I kid you not, 3x the average price for a pipe fix. We asked several neighbors who had worse bursts than us and their costs where WAY LESS. We went ahead with the repairs because we were desperate for water but then after they left, we were unable to get any hot water, we also saw they they used a different pipe than promised (and charged for) in our written estimate and they did not fix a second leak that was within the 10ft of pipe replacement coverage. We asked them to come back and fix these issues they left us with and the guy was SO RUDE and condescending when we simple asked what happened and what our solutions are. He told us that there was nothing he could do unless we completely repiped the whole house. We had a second opinion come in, that told us those guys were just trying to sell more and they were able to fix us right up. I can't believe we lost $1200 from these jerks at Universal. I will NEVER recommend them to anyone and will make sure every review site knows this. I would much rather give them zero stars but that's not an option. I don't care how desperate you are, don't trust these guys. Also, what if we were elderly and unable to climb into the attic and see they lied about the pipe we paid for? No telling how many people they are taking advantage of like this! They are price gougers, when we told him we could not afford to repipe the whole house plus we would also want a second opinion. We asked for any temporary fixes to not having hot water and he told us to go to our website, there is a little button that leads to Wells Fargo, finance it.

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.

I was just going through paperwork and pulled out my bill from this company.  I had one light switch that was not functioning properly.  The SALESGUY/ELECTRICIAN that came out said he had to conduct a full inspection.  My house was around 10 years old at the time so not old. He came up with a page full of recommendations of work that his company needed to perform.  Recommended work:  $5896.  Mind you I called for one light switch.   I ended up paying $341 that day for this switch and his inspection.  I never knew the inspection was a charge and would be so much.  He took forever to do this inspection.  It was a horrible/stressful experience.  I couldn't wait for this Mister Sparky employee  to get out of my house.  So BEWARE!  They will swindle you.

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.
