Best in Houston TX

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.

I've hired Ramon Umana twice since we went into contract for our new home.  He's dependable, professional, and courteous.  He emails to set up appointments too.  Ramon has rewired a number of outlets in my home, installed new lighting, and repaired faulty work done by another electrician.  I recommend him!

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.

I hired an electrician to upgrade my 150 amp main breaker in preparation for a pool.  He said I would need to add a new breaker box with a 400 amp main breaker, at a cost of nearly $5,000. Thankfully, I then found Phillip Hensley.

Phillip explained that a 400 amp upgrade would be overkill and that I probably didn't even need to upgrade at all.  Needless to say, that kind of honesty demonstrates the degree of Phillip's integrity, and I immediately decided to hire him without looking any further.

To future proof my home, I decided to go ahead and upgrade the service to 225 amps and I had Phillip perform the work.  He kept me informed throughout the process, adjusted his schedule to accommodate Texas New Mexico Power's very unaccommodating way of doing business, completed the work quickly and professionally, and charged the price he originally quoted, saving me nearly $4,000 that I would have simply wasted had I hired the first electrician!

As far as I'm concerned, I now have an electrician for life.  I will not hesitate to recommend Phillip to family, friends, and anyone else who is in need of a very honest and very capable Master Electrician!

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 dealt with Ralph at REM electric and was so impressed with his customer service.  Highly recommend Ralph and REM electric for their expertise,  professionalism and ETHICAL approach to business.  They helped us with our back up generator. VERY REASONABLE. I made the mistake of calling 2 other electricians, before I finally found REM. Learn from my mistake.

I had the line from my electrical pole to my meter going into my house ripped completely out when a tree from the storm fell. Mr Baily came promptly, and had it done in a very short time. Very efficient, prompt,cleaned up after himself, thoughtful, and very reasonable . Talked to about a few repairs to my home and to rentals I have. He defiantly knows his stuff and I will use him again and have no problem recommending his company to other.

I called Van to help me with my new panel. He was funny and very helpful.
He has a master electrician and got the job done very quick. I would hire him anytime and would highly recommended him to anyone.

Laredo Company is a small family business and he really cares about what he does. I know Hector, and I trust him. He's the only one I'll let work on my heating and A/C, whether the job is big or small. From entire new systems and ducting, to just replacing a filter, he'll do it right and never over-charge! And, that last one is REAL important to me!

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 to my review of 7/20/2015 (not enough space to add to original review):

Upon hearing my complaints, the owners of this business did try to make amends. They sent me an edible bouquet and sent a plumber out to flush out my water heater for free. It was the same problematic plumber who came before. He ran the discharge hose out to my driveway, which was only a few months old at the time, and put a huge rust stain on it, which I had to pressure wash so hard to get out, it took some of the concrete off (and stain is still faintly visible). He could have run the hose into the grass or into one of two highly visible PVC cleanouts for my sewer line that were actually closer than the spot on the driveway where he discharged it. Pure carelessness. I don't think this company is callous or deliberately dishonest, but they are overpriced and their employees are not the best.

There are several locations, so I can't say which one because I'm not sure...but I want to thank Baron for his awesome professionalism when he came out to my home. He was very knowledgeable and explained a lot of things to me. Although my current issue couldn't be solved by him, he pointed me into the right direction, proper steps, and I feel safe and positive about this. He even came to my door with his own shoe covers, although I had some waiting for him. This really impressed me. Thank you Baron, at Mister Sparky Electrical...Happy Holidays!!!

Husband actually called this place by accident - I asked him to call the electrician on Heights Boulevard not Heights Electric. What a debacle. Two clueless individuals showed up and bumbled around. Had to get owner involved to find a solution to problem. Repair quit working the next day. More bumbling around and work unsatisfactory. Will get a real electrician tomorrow to fix the problem and whatever these bozos did.
