Best Businesses in Texas

I have used McNutt electric for years.  They have always done a great job and have fair prices.  I would not use anyone else in town!

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.

Earlier this week I called RS Electric to request an appointment for an estimate of work at my home.  The appointment time was 9am on Friday - with Ray.  So here I sit, at 10am on Friday - no electrician, no phone call.  What am I supposed to think?  I took 1/2 day off of work (lost wages) for this appointment.  If they can't even make it to the first appointment I certainly wouldn't want to work with them on a real job.  I'm hoping there's a logical explanation, but until I hear from RS Electric...I think I've just been stood up.  Hopefully Yelp won't bury this review like the tend to do - seems the Yelp sort buries bad reviews.  Save yourself disappointment and find another electrician - that's what I'm trying to do right now.

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.

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.

He was on time, on budget, cleaned up. Everything was just great!!!!   Would hire him again many times!

Great work fast reply from yelp and quickly was able to make an appointment. The guys came out and installed my wall charger now getting fast charging for my car, just what I needed.

I have to say I was very disappointed.  I contacted this company because of their good reviews only to be told that they would not install a new water heater at my rental property even though I own the town house and I personally  assured them they would be directly communicating/dealing with me the owner.  The reason I was given is because they have had bad experiences with payment from tenants.  Tenants are not responsible for repairs on rental properties  the owner is responsible.  I don't understand their reasoning; payment is always received at the time services is completed.  I don't know what transpired between past rental property owners but I do know this about myself I am a very responsible person and it's insulting that I am being punished for something I did not have a hand in.  So if you own rental property and need Universal Home Experts, I am passing along what was conveyed to me they don't do business with rental property owners.  I'm disappointed but wish them well.

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

They came out quickly and told me in advance of the cost.   They fixed my problem quickly and did it all on a Saturday.   Will definitely call them again.

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.

As a resident of the Heights, it's important for me to support local businesses.  However, occasionally this backfires and you feel like you were stolen from.  This is the case I had with Heights Electric.  

I had two light fixtures that were out and either needed to be fixed or replaced.  Whatever was cheapest.  They decided they needed to be replaced, which was fine, and told me they would have something jn stock or could get something similar at the store and install it.  Okay, sounds fair.  Yet somehow installing two simple lights equated to 6 billable hours?!?!!  How is that possible??  I'll tell you how its possible.  Show up in a truck with two people and have one person stand around and watch the other person do all the work and then bill double for it.  

Also while you're at it, charge $95 an hour to determine whether a $30 light fixture can be fixed or just replaced.  If you can't figure it out in 10 minutes, lets just buy a new one people!

I'll give one hour for a real electrician to take down the light and determine if it can be fixed easily, possibly one more hour to buy 2 new lights just up the street, and perhaps one hour to install both of them.  3 hours MAX.  

Never mind the fact they never showed up when they said they would (sometimes late with no phone call, sometimes early saying they're waiting out front).

No thanks.  Completely unprofessional.  I will not be using them ever again.
