Best Businesses in Texas

Too many things have gone wrong with Tom Mcnutt. His work ethic and professionalism are less than desirable. I wouldn't recommend the to anyone. I hear he has had a lot negative change in his personal life that effecting his work.

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.

Ramon Umana and his crew are professionals. I am completely satisfied with this recent work: replace regular duplex receptacles with tamper resistant receptacles at dining, living and upstairs bedrooms; relocate fan switch in bathroom, add switch in attic, add receptacle in attic, replace switches in upstairs compute closet, bathroom and outside laundry; add gfci receptacle at kitchen; install disconnect for water heater; install gfci at outside back door and inside and outside laundry room. Whew!

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.

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!

When someone exceeds your expectations you just want to share your experience. Philip was very courteous and knowledgeable. Everyone needs a go-to person for every type of house repair. Phillip is now my electrician.

I have used other franchised companies, but Phillip was much more reasonable. I wish I called him for my 1st electrical job as I spent hundreds more than I should have.

I am very happy to have found a good electrical repairman that is professional but fairly priced.

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

If i could leave zero stars i would. I called this company to assist me after hours for my electricity that was not turning on after some bad wiring on my part. I couldn't set the breaker and no power was able to turn on. They sent a tech over and  he quickly diagnosed my issues. He told me that permits would have to be pulled and that my kitchen appliance that had been wired was fried also not to mention more extensive damage that would have to be adressed later behind the main breaker .  He quoted me minimum of $2800 for repairs. He went to his truck to right up my options. I had a friend who i had called who was a master electrician. When i asked the original tech to talk to this person he immediately asked for his credential. After realizing the guy new what he was talking about he explained the situation briefly and passed back the phone. I told the original tech that i would pay for the trip charge and let him know if i would need the repairs. With no hesitation he said he just spoke with his boss and that he would not be able to work on my house bc of too much liability if something goes wrong. My mouth dropped bc i thought this was my only chance of getting power restored. He said to do the job right it would be minimum 2800 make  14k to re wire the entire house. After i heard 14k i said goodbye. Within the hr  a new tech from friend's comp  came out. The power was restored in about 10 min with total cost of $250. It was clear to me that the tech was trying to prey on my ignorance  and make the most of the trip. I made several attempt to contacat the owner to hopefully see if this is how biz is run or it was just a bad seed. They stuck to there diagnosis. All i know is that i based my decision on reviews and Universal had solid reviews. However i will never use or recommend this company to anyone. Its sad that this work practice still exists. Be warned and i hope it doesn't happen to you. Btw none of my appliance were burned and the power has been running strong ever since. Thanks Universal for absolutely nothing.

Set yourself on fire before ever doing business with this John Henshaw clown.

Wow...Rip off. Super expensive and they won't give you any idea how much it will be until they come out. Then they charge a service charge for being here 5 minutes. I would suggest you shop around and do not call Mr. Sparky!!

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.
