Best Businesses in Texas

Too many things have gone wrong with Tom Mcnutt. His work ethic and professionalism are less than desirable. I wouldn't recommend the to anyone. I hear he has had a lot negative change in his personal life that effecting his 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Starting from a nominal rating of 3, I give a plus 2 for the electrician who arrived, on time, and was knowledgable, efficient, and professional.  That's a 5 star rating.  He did the job, advised me of some other electrical work I should consider attending to, and left.  Cudos to Leonard.  Thanks man.

Shortly after I got a call from Mr Sparky's office asking if I was satisfied with the service.  Yes, very I said.  I thought that to be great customer service.  Then I was requested to write a review here on Yelp.  I can't help but wonder if that same request would have been made had I stated that I was *not* happy with the service.  Minus 2 for possibly attempting to stack the reviews deck on Yelp.  That renders my review to a 3.  People make decisions based, in part, on these reviews.

Any feedback from others who did *not* like the service, got a customer service call and informed them of dissatisfaction, and yet was still asked to post a (likely negative) review?  If so, if some unhappy customers were, in that case, requested to write a review, then my rating of Mr. Sparky will rocket to a strong 5.  I hope that is the case, and if so, will happily amend this review.

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 place is a complete disgrace.  They charged us, then took the marginally working piece of equipment and never returned it (although they made several appointments to come back and do so, they just never showed up.)   So for 140$ they made the problem much worse.
