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 unprofessional!. I called him( Ray) yesterday gave him my situation and address he said he would be here by 10am and that he would call me in the morning. He called at 9:46 to say he would be here in 45 min. at 10:23 he called back to say he thought I was close by to him. I told him I was on the southeast part of town and off the beltway. in the first call. According to the map on Yelp we are well within the area he serves. My impression is that he did not want to come at the last min he just wanted to get out of it and he got his wish....If I were you unless you are in his zip code and even then don't bother to call this unprofessional business.

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.

Professional and knowledgable electrician, reasonable prices, highly recommend! He replied in a timely manner to my yelp request for a quote, was flexible with appointment set up, confirmed with me the day of appointment - basically great communication throughout. He fixed all my electrical issues, answered all the questions and was very helpful overall. Great professional service. Would definitely hire him again!

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 hired 3 Guys Last March to remove existing Cellulose insulation and replace it. Luis recommended Fiberglass. I made it clear that insulation was not my actual concern, but that my issue was in having the insulation circulating inside the living space because my attic had never been sealed properly allowing insulation to pull though the walls when the AC/Heat runs and I was having health issues because of it. Additionally I wanted to add some plywood decking to a portion of the attic for storage. Luis said it would take three days, Remove Clean, Seal and Replace. He said he would add guards at the soffit vents also which I did not have and needed. Overall seemed very knowledgeable. I was very excited. I had saved a very long time to have this done. WELL..... At the end of the first day... the team left and I asked what time they would be back tomorrow.. He said, oh, we're done. I just thought, well ok. So it was a week or so later that I went up in the attic and noticed that they did not use plywood that I was charged for, but chipboard. Also they had decked part of the area with some rustic boards that were stored in the attic that were actually part of a shelving system. They didn't ask me at all. Frustrated, but let it pass. But then I removed some boards that I had previously put in an area for storage and had boxes sitting on them. The guys at the time of service said thy did not need to be moved that they would run the hose under them and clean that way. Well, they did not. When I removed them there was still old insulation there.. SO I called Luis and he sent them out to redo that area. They also at that time added the guards at the vents which they forgot to do the first time. I mentioned the plywood also but Luis never addressed that.  THEN I started noticing that I was now having all this new fiberglass insulation all over my house. It is SOOO MUCH WORSE. We went in the attic and started removing the boards they had put in the attic BECAUSE they laid them directly on Electrical wires AND guess what ABSOLUTELY NO insulation under all the areas they put decking. AND they did not seal the attic!!!! Maybe a few light fixtures, but missed several and did not seal ANY of the top caps along the Walls. AND THEN...It warmed enough to start using the AC, and I started noticing it shutting off so I called MY ac guy... my ducts were collapsed!! they had broken several straps that hold the ducting up. And This was all brand new the ducts had also just been replaced for this same reason. They were full of all that old insulation dust. So they were not damaged when those guys were in there. This duct repair cost me $550.  I emailed Luis twice now with photos and asked him to come back and seal my attic. He has not responded at all.

Universal has brought home the realization that 'professionalism' & competence',i.e company's moto for their work ethic, doesn't hold true 'indefinitely'.  I assumed the Universal i chose  4 yrs ago to entrust my home 'maintenance & repair' to,is not in the same league as the Universal of 4yrs ago. Universal,present, no longer adhere to 100% customer satisfaction guarantee. That meaning to this customer is that i am fully aware of the problem and given options for  a best decision for repairs. I want a candid quote for each option so that i can know exactly the cost. I know what i am proficient at,& if i'm not trained nor have proficiency of a 'task' , i hire those who are secure & undated in their  profession to be able to troubleshoot for a successful repair. I should not know more then the person i hire to fix the problem. I shouldn't have to 'hand hold' or 'spoon feed' them either, esp when i'm not proficient in that profession. This customer requires the hired to treat the job as if it was their home needing the repair and to be able to communicate/educate a customer so they are able to make the best decision. Anything otherwise is a waste of the customer's & service provider's time, energy, and costly, not to mention the memory of a bad experience.Which, is unfair to the guys whom did exemplary job of the 100% guarantee customer satisfaction; those guys were that good, their work quality exemplified it, no bull or 'crap'! They are no longer there & sadly they took their standards  with them. I have revoked my Universal membership bc i am not satisfied with the present sub-par standards, i tried to work with them twice, hoping i need not cancel membership.
I gave 2 stars bc of my experience with one of the newly employed, J.,he could be as awsome as the 'guys' servicing electrical, plumbing,& hvac.

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.

Mike came out last Friday after we were having AC issues.
Our electrical panel was on the fritz and we needed a new meter.

He was very professional and knew what the problem was right away.
Mister Sparky comes to your home with a fully stocked van, so we were able to get our problem fixed immediately.  He spent most of the day here working and had it all up and running in no time.
We got a great deal, but most importantly we felt he was honest and got the job done just like we wanted.
Great company, great employees, good prices.
Thanks Mister Sparky and thank you Mike!

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.

Husband actually called this place by accident - I asked him to call the electrician on Heights Boulevard not Heights Electric. What a debacle. Two clueless individuals showed up and bumbled around. Had to get owner involved to find a solution to problem. Repair quit working the next day. More bumbling around and work unsatisfactory. Will get a real electrician tomorrow to fix the problem and whatever these bozos did.
