Best Businesses in Texas

Highly recommend Advance Wiring for any electrical job.  Tom and his son installed 2 ceiling fans on my patio, added an outlet in a closet and relocated a hanging light in my dining room.  They did an outstanding job at a reasonable price.  Will definitely use them again.

Aaron is great. He is timely, professional, knowledgeable and overall a very good electrician service experience. I highly recommend Bedwell Electric.

Bathroom light blew out and they fixed it. They also replaced bulbs I can't reach, replaced two outlets (old house) and investigated a vent hood with a problem. Thank you Julian and Mathias!

The owner is great! I was in a real jam and know nothing about electrical work. I travel all over and didn't know anyone in the area and found CT Electric. The owner came out and solved my problema ASAP! Thanks a million!!
The t-shirt man!!!

We hired Major Solar to install different types of lights throughout our backyard. Not only was Blake, the owner, on time (and his assistant was even a little early) they did a very thorough job and cleaned up after themselves when finished. I appreciated how Blake and his assistant made every effort to best utilize our space and when finished, he walked me through everything to make sure I was satisfied. Blake even checked with me later that day to see how the lights looked after it had gotten dark and when I told him that a couple of the lights weren't exactly angled perfectly to my satisfaction, Blake insisted on coming back some evening to correct the angle to make our trees looked smashing. Highly impressed!! This is one very satisfied customer!! Thanks!!

I just had Marble Falls Electric bring my 50 year old house & guest house up to code with new main enclosure, new breaker boxes and wiring for a hot tub.  Not only was it reasonable but the turn around time was absolutely exceptional.  They rerouted / replaced cables that were quite ugly on the outside of my house.  These guys are hard working and worth every penny.

Sarge rewired and updated our entire house. He is the best in town. Totally professional and reliable service. I'll never hire another electrician.

Where to begin?  Our electrical panel was having some issues with the breaker to the Microwave tripping every few days, we also needed some assistance with flickering lights on the dimmers, and a ceiling fan that would not turn on when the switch was flipped (you had to flip it twice and then it would come on, kind of annoying).  

They sent an inexperienced electrician out to look at the breaker, the owner even admitted that he wasn't experienced.  He was here for about two or three hours and was dumbfounded by everything I showed him.  He tried to convince me that the breaker that was tripping was being tripped by a gecko that was in the box when he opened it.  That's a pretty strong gecko and very selective in choosing the microwave that is only the 220 volt power supply in the box.  It's fine for people to learn on the job, but if he's that inexperienced he should be tagging along with someone until he knows what he is doing.

After about two hours of watching this guy scratch his head the owner showed up.  She talked a good game and was clearly knowledgeable but ultimately only solved the issue with the dimmers by putting a restrictor on the dimmer switch.  

She couldn't solve the issue with the ceiling fan and to this day I still have to turn it on twice to get it to work.  She told me that she thought there was a motor that needed time to power up inside the fan and that just leaving it on would fix the problem.  It didn't.  I also pointed out that I have the exact same fan (purchased at the same time) in three other rooms of the house and it turns on in every other room with the simple flick of the switch, just once . . . *crickets.  So that was left undone.

Now the breaker box.  She told me that the breaker box had too much direct sunlight on it and the heat from the sun was causing the breaker to trip.  Her solution was to space out the breakers so they weren't lined up one on top of the other.  I asked why my neighbors breaker which is right next to mine wasn't having the same issue . . . no answer.   Anyway, we went with her suggestion and she spaced each of them out.  Now instead of the microwave tripping every two to three days it trips once per day like clockwork.  The cherry on top was that she didn't bother to relabel the breakers after she moved them, she just told us which ones were which and we did it ourselves.

Charged us $886 for fixing our dimmers, not fixing our ceiling fan and causing our microwave breaker to now trip once per day.

Our electric water heater died last week and my son did everything he usually does to fix it but this time nothing worked, so he called Red Grizzly Electric, based on reviews. Scott Weaver (Mr Grizzly?) called back within an hour and arrived within 30 minutes after the call, and we live way out in the country.

He quickly located the problem (a burnt out breaker) and replaced it, and now our water heater is working PERFECTLY and he was only here less than an hour! Plus he was nice to our dog.

We will DEFINITELY be calling him for ALL of our electrical needs from now on.

Oh and PS, it cost only $100!

While I did not use this company because they only do work on commercial buildings, they recommended us to one of the less known Bowne Electrical, who did a great job on my residence in a time crunch of 4 days

Amazing company, always shows up when they say they will. Guys are funny and explain everything very well. I would highly recommend this company

Great job on AC repair.  Honest knowledgeable and independent.   Gave me over the phone recommendations first to try and avoid a service call.

Jimmy was a life saver!  Came out same day and saved me from worries of a wooden house and  a faulty switch!

AJ has worked on many projects big and small for me.  AJ installed all new circuit breaker panels and more in our new (old) house. It was a big job...... Disconnecting from City of Austin, and getting it reconnected after inspection. He managed it all while minimizing our down time.  I was really surprised how quickly everything was done.  Very easy to work with.  AJ is my go to for anything electrical!

We hired Kelly from Kruse Electric to perform an electric pole repair job in Taylor. They are a family run business and run it with integrity and honesty. Despite having several jobs lined up, they provided an immediate quote to me over the phone. They provided a free estimate and didn't charge any visit fee. Moreover, not only did they provide the best quote, after scheduling the job, they completed it as promised (on time, on budget). They accept most forms of payments. Definitely give this business a chance for any kind of your electrical needs in Austin/Taylor area.

An expensive waste of time and money.

I asked 1st Plumbing to look for water leaks inside and outside my house after I had two outrageous water bills from the city. They checked everything and said there were no leaks but they did point out some old water damage and mold under my kitchen sink.

I asked is there a leak now? Does it need to be fixed? No, you just need a carpenter to repair your cabinet.

So I hired a carpenter right away and in 2 minutes he discovered that not only was my disposal leaking, but every time I turn on the sink, it's leaking, significantly!  

The plumber's very green apprentice felt around under the sink but he never tested the disposal or ran the water to see what would happen. That seems like something a plumber would know to do.

Now I have a bowl under my sink until I can take more time off work to hire another plumber to come and fix what 1st Plumbing missed. Very unhappy customer. :-(

A friend of mine recommended the owner Steven Fikes to me so I went in and asked for him specifically for some work I have been looking into getting done. I was told by a colleague that he was out on a sick day so I thanked him and left.

Later that morning I'm notified by a family member that he had posted a video in a Facebook group in our community from his security footage of me walking back to my car in the parking lot, stating that someone sent their pregnant wife in regards to her husband doing illegal work and slandered me in the comments. As I am an 8 month pregnant wife, I have no idea what that was in regards to and believe he has me confused with someone/something else.

Either way, this is by far the most unprofessional thing I have ever encountered and I am still in disablief how something so insignificant got recorded and put on social media. If I could give zero stars I would. I'm confused and embarrassed to say the least.

If this is any indication of how this man conducts business, I would steer clear and far from this establishment.

Please do not use Pro Light Atx, aka Anthony (Tony) Stapleton for any of your electric projects. I got his name via the Yelp project services to install GFCI outlets. He gave me a price good price and took money for the materials ($340) but then ghosted me. He called once to mention some personal issues and said that he would come immediately to complete my project but never did. He has not replied to my texts (he has read them) nor voicemails nor through the Yelp app. He has still not refunded my money.
At this point, I would not recommend Tony at all and would not trust him nor pay money in advance.
If something changes (like getting my money refunded), I will update this review.

Be very careful with this contractor.  He was called out to give us a bid for work on one of our properties.  He was onsite for about fifteen minutes and did not do anything but look.  He then billed us for work he did and when we refused to pay he threatened us with a lien.   If I could give him less than 1 star I would.
