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.

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.

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.

Answered the phone promptly and could give me a quote on the phone. The job was easily booked and Steve the electrician that came out was very pleasant and explained thoroughly what he was doing. Highly recommend!

So happy to have found Hensley Electric. I had a problem with a fuse that wouldn't set. He fixed the problem, and all is well. Don't hesitate to call Hensley.

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.

I called this business and the gentleman (not sure if he's the owner or staff member) immediately answered. Unfortunately, he sounded as if he were obviously busy which is fine but it felt as if I was bothering him. We decided that he would come out at his convenience which would be the following week. I thought about the call, our conversation and how I felt. I began searching for another electrician or handyman. The call was made and the interaction was the complete opposite of my previous experience. I scheduled an appointment for the next day and immediately called the gentleman respectfully to cancel my appointment. I didn't get an answer so I proceeded to send a text message but I never received a callback or follow up. He should've at least returned my call or text to inquire about why I was canceling and then offer an apology. That never happened.

Very responsive, reasonable and professional!  The guys worked quickly with replacing light fixtures and breaker panel in my office.  Would definitely use them again

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.

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.

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.
