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.

Going into this, we knew that it might be a rather involved job. He explained to me exactly what would have to be done and gave me a cost estimate before starting. He thought he might have to go through the ceiling as well, but luckily was able to avoid it.  He did a great job and left everything clean when he was done. He took all the trash and old fixtures out for me. He was very helpful and did a great job of explaining things. We will definitely call him for any future 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.

Called to check out an electrical issue in my house and he was prompt, extremely efficient and very reasonable on his charges.

I would recommend him to anyone needing electrical repair.

The company is great.  Came out to give me an estimate to insulate my attic and gave me several options.  I had the Radiant Barrier installed. They were booked for the next few weeks but Luis got me in earlier because of a cancellation.  The guys went out and did a terrific job.  They were very neat, clean and efficient.  Very respectful of my home.  They should me the finished work and it really did look good.  Luis called to follow up with me and make sure that I was pleased with the work.  I would recommend this company and would certainly use them again.

Stay away from this company - Universal Home Experts

We used Universal Home Experts for our yearly AC checkup, and this year, after they performed our spring checkup, they confirmed all system is functioning well (Our AC unit is only 4 years old).

Then in about 3 weeks, with the weather getting hot, we noticed the 2nd floor AC was not cooling. We called a different AC company to check for us since it is 7pm at night and we know that company works late hours. When the technician arrived and checked our system, he came to me and ask if I have some other company touched the system before, I said yes, we had a spring checkup. Then the technician told us that during the spring checkup, there are two wires in the capacitor that they forgot to re-connect back after checking, and that had led to the complete failure of my compressor. The technician suggested us to contact that company since it was their fault and they should replace it for us.

We called Universal Home Experts the next morning, they sent a service manager that afternoon. At first, the service manager still refuse to admit it is their faulty, and the only reason they gave was they have faith in their staff that they wouldn't make such a mistake. So I requested to talk to the manager, Ed, after a long debate back and forth, they finally admit that it was their fault and agreed to replace my compressor for free.

In a few days, I even got a phone call from them telling me the parts were arriving and the installation was scheduled for last Thursday. I thought everything finally worked out.

NO.

On Thursday, I waited at home for them to come. No one showed up. I called them and the front desk said they know nothing about my case and the manager would call me back. Waited the whole day, called a few times, and every time the manager was in a meeting and would call me soon. No. Waited the next day, still no one call me.

Today, I had my husband called them, and finally, the manager sent me an email, saying they have determined that it was not their responsibility (without giving any supporting reason/evidence). And they will not replace my compressor. At this point, we have live without our AC for over 2 weeks.

We picked them originally due to they have good reviews on Google, and now, they totally ruined our trust. Please stay away from this company, they do AC/electrical/plumbing. A company without integrity is not worth any future business.

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

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.
