Best Businesses in San Antonio, TX

Not a great experience.  I bought a Angies List coupon for two hours of electrical work.  All I needed was a simple switch replaced which I knew wouldn't take long.  I couldn't come up with more projects to decided on dimmer switched being put in the bedrooms.  Mark arrive and replaced the switch.  He then went to go install the dimmer switch but told me I have the wrong one and it wouldn't work. When he tried to take the old switch off he said that someone needed to go thru all the wiring in the house.  That it all needed to be checked.  Since he wasnt doing the fans now I asked if this is something he could do.  He ignored me and went to go check my fire extinguishers.  

When I returned the dimmer switch  to Home Depot the guy basically said that he didn't understand why it couldn't be done.  

He replaced a light in my closet and installed a bulb in my bathroom.  I still had a lot of time and found yet another dimmer that I asked him to install in my kitchen.  He did that and then told me I needed different light bulbs.  Fine - all done - an hour and fifteen minutes worth of work..

After I went to use the stitch that he originally game to do it was flipped around.  So OFF was ON and ON was OFF.  The plate read as NO and FFO.  I thought I could deal with this but decided to call the company back.  The lady who answered the phone was really nice but said she was not happy and would have him come back to fix it.  He came the next day to fix in.  In the mean time I had gone to buy dimmer lights and they really didn't dim at all.  When I asked him about it he told me that I needed special bulbs..  I showed him the packaging of the bulbs and then he said that I needed a different dimmer.  I said I had one and asked if he would install it.  He said he would have to charge me.  OK, I'm not one trying to get a free ride but he wasn't here the first time for the full two hours AND he wouldn't do the wire checking that I really needed so that didn't sit well with me.  I said I was going to call the company.  He then said - go ahead - but I'm outta here.  He left without anything being fixed.  Super unprofessional.

I called and left a message and the owner called me back within a reasonable time frame.  WE talked.  I explained the entire situation and he seems nice and ready to resolve the problem.  He said he would call Mark and have someone call me back.  The original date that Mark came out was 7/17.  I finally decided they were NOT going to call back so called them on 8/2.  The lady who answered said she was unaware that she was suppose to call.  I then asked her to have the Owner call me back.  He didn't.  She called to try to set up an appointment but at this point I am done with this company.  I got the problem fixed.  

Just very unprofessional !!!!

EvenFlow was prompt and courteous.  George explained everything that needed to be done in a clear and concise way. He gave me 3 options about what needed to be done. I chose the easiest and most budget friendly. There was no pressure to up-charge, just honest and matter-of-fact options. Excellent work ethic.

The customer service was excellent. The service call when making an appointment was accurate and very fast. After calling several different Electrical companies and getting misdiagnosis calling 5G Electric was the best decision I've ever made.

The quality ,professionalism,workmanship is spot on! We were looking to add 4 LED living room lights to ceiling with a smart dimmer switch, I do consider myself a good handyman..But this was a project left to experience ! And with multiple wires needed and adding a extra wall switch alongside via ceiling ya get the picture. Communication and understanding what we were looking for and them explaining made everything easy. If your looking for residential electrical please call on them quote was spot on and they made sure all lights,outlets,switch's worked. Love the way it looks !!!! Thanks

Very friendly & professional personnel. Fair prices for quality work. I highly recommend Jireh Electric!

We had damage to our external electrical power panel and we got Tony's to work with Austin Energy to disconnect the City's power line. They also removed the meter. Tony created a new roof mount for the power line, installed a panel, checked all of the wiring in the house, coordinated with the City to bring a new meter and install the power line. He as we did not have the City bring the electrical power on for several days provided us with a gasoline powered electrical generator. Through the several days here or not Tony was always ready for us. I have dealt with many repair and maintenance companies over the 50 years I have lived in Austin and Tony ranks as my Number One in ability and timeliness!

Very professional, and did an awesome job correcting the problem.  An added bonus by explaining what they were doing and how to be alerted to any future problem that might occur. Good communicator would definitely call this company in the future if needed.

When Bryant Electric was called the electrician came out and completed the job in a timely and professional manner and did a great job!

In cahoots with Best Austin Handyman, Andy Keil, the owner of Live Oak Electric, pulled two City of Austin permits. One permit was to  upgrade my electrical panel.  I received a new panel, going from 125 amp service up to 150 amp service with no sub panel at a cost of $3,800. None of the breakers were labeled. Initially they FORGOT  to wire in my air conditioner (during the summer!) This upgrade requires me to reset GFI outlets and panel breakers at least once every freaking week. I never had these issues with my old panel.  

Andy also pulled a permit to do the interior electrical work for my kitchen remodel, but BAH had their own crew do it. After numerous electrical problems arose Andy wouldn't repair th hiem because he had only been paid $500 to pull the permit and $75 to inspect the work.  Andy said he would come back to fix everything when I agreed to pay him, but then said he was too busy.   I've reported all this to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.

Electrical work is good - so far. Do not have them do any other work. We had them paint our banister and railing and it is chipping less than a week later. Paint on ceiling is already chipping. If you like paint on light fixtures, cabinets and flooring this is the person for you. Please do not have them put up curtain rods or repair brackets in the closet. Everything was off center and uneven. Not sure a measuring tape was used. Constructive criticism is not welcomed by him. Drywall work performed is already failing just weeks after repairs. Cracks are coming back. Please beware of substandard work.
