Best Businesses in Texas

Great company, reasonably priced, very good response time. I needed a 220 volt 40 amp breaker. In a completed 2 story house that creates an issue. They had to drill into my house, run new wires up the side of the house across the attic, back down to where the breaker box is and drill back into the house. They made sure the wire in the attic was out of the way, We appreciate the extra effort. The crew was polite and professional.  We definitely recommend this company. We will use them for all of our electrical 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.

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.

I called Ray a couple weeks ago to get a quote on replacing an electrical panel.  Then I went out of town for a while.  The problem was worse when I got back and I called Ray back to let him know.  He came out the next morning and replaced the panel, and he honored the original quote.  He even came back the next day to replace a part that was behind the meter and not part of the original estimate just because he thought it needed to be replaced.  I will definitely call Ray again if I have any more electrical needs!

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 was needing some electrical work done at my house and looked for someone close to the house  . I explained what I needed done that the original electrician hadn't completed  . He set a date and time  and showed up to check it out  . After a couple of hours he had completed the work  . He  asked if I wanted a whole house gfi  ( which I was going to ask about anyway )and I said yes because I had one installed at my other house and had done research on . He installed that also  . His prices were very reasonable  . I  have used Hensley electric again for additional electrical that I've added  . I would recommend them for big or small projects

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

Luis installed my Tesla home charger on a quick notice and effectively. I appreciate his help and services in a reasonable time and price.

Would like to have given a better review - because after Hurricane Ike Universal Wiring assisted with getting my power back on after a tree knocked out the line from my home to the pole - and Centerpoint couldn't get to it for another week.  Back then, the price was good and they were a great help.

Fast forward to 2013.  Asked them to come out for a bid on a new panel box.  They charged $60 just to come look, then bid it over $6k.   I sent them on their way, and the same exact work is being done by another reputable electrician for $1,500.  They got their $60 out of me, so they probably don't care about a negative review.  But be warned.  And always get multiple bids!

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.
