Best Businesses in Texas

Mc Nutt is a thoroughly professional business! I live in the country in a home built in 1867 and I have many barns and outbuildings. They have done extensive work on all my property. Steve is especially helpful!!!

I have had much of my house rewired, added exterior lamps, they hung a heavy and elaborate chandelier, and wired up a commercial kitchen in my home.

I have also had them add many outlets to my barns, wire a new kitchen/ bath, hook up heavy duty medical grade equipment and just about anything else you can think of.

I have used McNutt Electric since about 2001 and I have yet to be dissatisfied!!

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.

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.

Quick response.  Showed up when they said they would.  Found the problem and fixed it.  Also, cheaper diagnostic fee than others in the area.  Can't ask for much more than that.

It was easy to make a timely appointment. They showed up when scheduled and did a great job installing several light fixtures and solved a long-standing issue with switches. Will use 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.

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

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.

I expected an onsite visit and had one scheduled.  An hour after the scheduled appointment, someone called me (Ed?) to give me a quote over the phone after looking at the property on google maps.   The range was between 4 and 5 thousand.  I wouldn't touch this business with a ten foot pole.  They prey on stupid people. Don't be one of them.

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.

Mr. Sparky and our Electrician (Mike) were absolutely outstanding.  I was interested in adding a whole house surge suppressor and called three local companies, one wouldn't even give me a quote and was going to charge $60 just to come look. The other quoted twice the price of Mr. Sparky and didn't even seem interested in the job.  Richard, at Mr. Sparky explained on the phone what they had, could do and that they even had a special price on it now.  After the appointment was set, I was called the day before to reconfirm, then called the morning of the appointment to tell me exactly the arrival time and then follow up the day after on the quality of the work.  Mike, our Electrician was great.  Right on time and very personal.  He took the time to check out the panel and even made some suggestions on things I may want to consider in the future but there was no pressure to do any of them now.  Mike installed the surge suppresser in a safe and efficient manner, explained it to me including the warranty and coverage and then at no additional charge took the time to add an oxidizer inhibitor to the aluminum power supply cables.   The bill presented was exactly what was quoted, including tax, i.e. no surprises or additional costs.  Mike was very proud of the company he worked for and said so both in words and the quality of the work he did.  This is bar none the best service work and experience I have had in the past five years.  Mr. Sparky will have all my future business.

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 poor old guy really should just stop and enjoy his retirement.  I would be surprised if his license is current.  REALLY SURPRISED!  and VERY DISAPPOINTED in the licensing procedure & requirements.

Our experience was EXACTLY as everyone has said!   We used this company because our Realtor recommended him!  (Someone didn't do her due diligence!!!)

THERE WAS NOTHING PROFESSIONAL ABOUT ANY OF MY ENCOUNTERS WITH CHARLIE.

I had sent 3 emails explaining that we wanted a quote on some items picked up during the home inspection on a property we are in the option period to buy.  I asked in bold letters whether the quote was free or whether the fee would be applied towards the work.  He never replied to any of my emails.  He had trouble finding the first one, which is why I sent & re-sent the same information.  He asked me to email him so he'd have all the details in writing.  I attached the inspection report each time.

When I reached him by phone Thursday afternoon, he thought he could come out the next day.  He never called.  When I called him Saturday, he thought he might be able to make it, but didn't.   He was very hard to pin down on time, so I sent him an email saying that we'd go ahead with his suggestion of meeting on Sunday afternoon at 2pm, and I wrote in bold letters that he should contact us if his plans changed.  He left me a message at noon saying that he'd need to push the job back a bit.  I called back at 1pm and left a message.  He never called back.  When I reached him at 2:15, he was out to dinner with his family.  We releashed the Realtor's assistant, waiting at the house since 2pm.

Our option period ends tonight at midnight.  Charlie and his right hand man finally showed up -- late -- this afternoon and bumbled around for hours.   There is a very entertaining video of them taking forever to replace a GFCI outlet with the power on!  It's as though neither of them had never seen -- or worked with -- live current before!  (Charlie claims he is a master electrician!)

Despite my list of items, which included checking a light over the stairs, Charlie showed up without any ladders or extension grippers and was wearing casual attire, not work clothes.  

When the bumbling finally ended, Charlie claimed he had conducted an inspection.  He had not, and he had not been asked to.  His bill was $450, and all he had done -- literally, all he had done -- was 1) call out the color of the recessed light canister in the ceiling (our Realtor's assistant knew silver canisters were OK against insulation, but Charlie didn't), 2) entertain us by replacing that GFCI outlet and 3) change that light bulb over the stairs by use of some creative acrobatics.   I wrote him a check for $250, and he left disgusted.  I think he got off easy!  I should have called the cops on him for representing himself to be an electrician!
