Best Businesses in Texas

Mc Nutt is a thoroughly professional business! I live in the country in a home built in 1867 and I have many barns and outbuildings. They have done extensive work on all my property. Steve is especially helpful!!!

I have had much of my house rewired, added exterior lamps, they hung a heavy and elaborate chandelier, and wired up a commercial kitchen in my home.

I have also had them add many outlets to my barns, wire a new kitchen/ bath, hook up heavy duty medical grade equipment and just about anything else you can think of.

I have used McNutt Electric since about 2001 and I have yet to be dissatisfied!!

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.

Needed an electrician at the last min. and Ray was available within a few short hrs. He fixed my electrical problem, installed a ceiling fan for me, and gave me helpful advice/suggestions. I didn't shop around for price but his fees are reasonable in my opinion. Thanks for your service Ray!

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.

Pool Lights had gone out...Called J and L..told me it would be 10 days before they got to me.   Called me the next day and told me someone could come out now.   They fixed the lights, were very pleasant to deal with, fair with pricing, and fixed a few other minor problems with no charge.    Great job!

Phillip is the only electrician I will call.  He has done many jobs for us over the past two years and we're hoping he will do many more in the future.  He is honest and very reasonable.  You can't go wrong calling Phillip for your electrical needs.

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.

Very professional and within budget. Quickly diagnosed the problem.  Highly recommend him. Will hire again

I was having issues keeping upstairs where my baby sleeps at a decent temperature.  I messaged them on yelp and they got back to me the same day.  Owner came out on a Sunday to give me an estimate and the price was very fair.  They installed a radiant barrier and some insulation and my problem is fixed, in fact it's actually colder upstairs than downstairs now.  Quality work, great priced, and a very easy company to deal with.  Thanks Luis and Victor

Overpriced.

I had a simple job - I wanted to replace an old outlet with a new, AFCI outlet.  When I called and asked how much, customer service said well, it depends on what the electrician finds.  That should have been a flashing red light; nevertheless, I went ahead and scheduled a service call.

The technician arrived 2 hours after the scheduled appointment.  He didn't want to install an AFCI (he said they are too touchy) so he recommended a standard outlet.  Real simple job.

Before he started the job, he tried to sell me a new breaker box.  He said it would cost $2,500.  I told him to work up a written quote and I'd compare it to three other bids.  After that, he dropped that suggestion.

He proceeded to do the work.  After he finished, I watched as he worked up the bill.  Basically, he had a book that listed services and charges.  After I got the statement, I knew why customer service did not want to give me a quote -- according to HomeAdvisor.com, their charge was on the high end of the range of charges for such a job in the Houston area.  There was nothing special about the service that justified a premium price.

Moral of the story -- if someone is dodgy about the cost of a simple, standard procedure, find someone else.

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

I had an emergency issue the Monday after Thanksgiving weekend.  I called several different electricians including John Moore.  They all said it would be at least 24 hours before they could come take a look.  I called Mr Sparky and they came out within an hour!  Mike showed up, was very professional, and fixed the problem fairly quickly.

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 poor old guy really should just stop and enjoy his retirement.  I would be surprised if his license is current.  REALLY SURPRISED!  and VERY DISAPPOINTED in the licensing procedure & requirements.

Our experience was EXACTLY as everyone has said!   We used this company because our Realtor recommended him!  (Someone didn't do her due diligence!!!)

THERE WAS NOTHING PROFESSIONAL ABOUT ANY OF MY ENCOUNTERS WITH CHARLIE.

I had sent 3 emails explaining that we wanted a quote on some items picked up during the home inspection on a property we are in the option period to buy.  I asked in bold letters whether the quote was free or whether the fee would be applied towards the work.  He never replied to any of my emails.  He had trouble finding the first one, which is why I sent & re-sent the same information.  He asked me to email him so he'd have all the details in writing.  I attached the inspection report each time.

When I reached him by phone Thursday afternoon, he thought he could come out the next day.  He never called.  When I called him Saturday, he thought he might be able to make it, but didn't.   He was very hard to pin down on time, so I sent him an email saying that we'd go ahead with his suggestion of meeting on Sunday afternoon at 2pm, and I wrote in bold letters that he should contact us if his plans changed.  He left me a message at noon saying that he'd need to push the job back a bit.  I called back at 1pm and left a message.  He never called back.  When I reached him at 2:15, he was out to dinner with his family.  We releashed the Realtor's assistant, waiting at the house since 2pm.

Our option period ends tonight at midnight.  Charlie and his right hand man finally showed up -- late -- this afternoon and bumbled around for hours.   There is a very entertaining video of them taking forever to replace a GFCI outlet with the power on!  It's as though neither of them had never seen -- or worked with -- live current before!  (Charlie claims he is a master electrician!)

Despite my list of items, which included checking a light over the stairs, Charlie showed up without any ladders or extension grippers and was wearing casual attire, not work clothes.  

When the bumbling finally ended, Charlie claimed he had conducted an inspection.  He had not, and he had not been asked to.  His bill was $450, and all he had done -- literally, all he had done -- was 1) call out the color of the recessed light canister in the ceiling (our Realtor's assistant knew silver canisters were OK against insulation, but Charlie didn't), 2) entertain us by replacing that GFCI outlet and 3) change that light bulb over the stairs by use of some creative acrobatics.   I wrote him a check for $250, and he left disgusted.  I think he got off easy!  I should have called the cops on him for representing himself to be an electrician!
