Best Lighting Repair in Houston TX

I recently purchased a townhome, and the inspection report noted some problems with the electric panel. I called around for a few quotes, and while some others just quote a price, Veteran Electric responded with a detailed breakdown of the work they would do. They showed up on time, took time to explain to me in person what they were doing, and fixed additional things not noted in the report. They were meticulous with their work, and I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again!

I can not say enough about Paul.  He is a top notch electrician.  Very thorough in his analysis, he explains the issues in detail, transparent with costs, and is very professional.  I had a major electrical issue with my house and Paul was able to troubleshoot the problem and fix it.  He also spent a lot of time with me on the phone explaining everything.  I would recommend Paul to anyone who needs electrical work done in their home.

Thanks Paul!

My master bathroom light switch was not working and Eliud fixed it perfectly in ~5 minutes. He was nice, professional and courteous. Making the appointment was easy and quick and I got same day service in the time window they quoted. I highly recommend this company, if I need any more electrical services in the future this is my definite choice!

Our garage door stopped working along with the outside lighting and Yovani was able to diagnose the issue and fix all of our electrical issues with such efficiency and explained everything in a way that was easy for even me, to understand. He was super considerate and sweet and nothing short of a professional.

My main sewer line was clogged and that is never fun. Geovanny and his team of professionals came out within a few hours (on a Sunday!!) and we're able to unclog my line within minutes. They also provided boroscope/camera services to see exactly what the issue was and how I could best prevent it from happening again. I would recommend them for all your plumbing and residential needs.

They sent someone out within a week. I had 3 problems.
Ceiling fan on patio doesn't work.
Plug at dock doesn't work.
A plug in garage doesn't work.
First - electrician showed 4 hours late at 5:30 pm.
Said he couldn't fix any of the issues. Said he didn't know what was wrong.
Recommended we get new junction box for house and maybe rewire.
He said he would send a journeyman over.
I question if he was licensed at all. Charged 149.00 with no fix. I was told service fee was 49.00.
No one ever called. I called their office and emailed with no response. 3 weeks later, still no response.

Ryan and Tommy did an exceptionally great job. Very respectful and quiet, got the job done right in good time. They notified us before they came, arrived when they said they would, wore masks for covid, and did it all for a great price. They were even honest enough to remove a charge we had already agreed to pay because it turned out to be unnecessary. And while they were at it, they fixed a vent cover that was coming loose, just to help out. This review is starting to sound planted, but they even brought our trash can back from the street. :D

Couldn't be better. Thanks guys!

I got several bids for a full residential panel upgrade and Beekman was the most competitive for the job and most transparent on what exactly would be done with what materials. Many electrical companies give vague descriptions on their itemized bids leaving you to wonder what exactly is included.

I'd call them again for any job.

Good & prompt communication. Reasonable rates.
One call, they fix it all. We have 3 stores in Houston area, and I'll hire them again.

Arrived right on time, wore masks, took time to diagnose and locate the issue, provided quote. I will use them again. Proper communication, quick appointment time.  Overall great service

Otis and his crew were the only ones out if six local electricians to call me back. They not only were able to get me in the next day, but they arrived ahead of schedule. Otis kept me updated on the price during the process and always thoroughly explained what the issues were. We will 100% call him again and thoroughly recommend him and his crew!

Pete and his wife were great to work with. Needed to have a breaker replaced and some lighting issues troubleshooted. Very prompt and were able to offer same day service. Great rates as well. He's done a lot of electrical work for townhomes in Houston so he has tons of experience. Would recommend to anyone.

Eric came out promptly to provide an estimate and determined we can go with a different solution for the problem. He was extremely friendly, prompt and informative. Recommended based on honesty alone. Much appreciated, Eric!

The electrician was very knowledgeable. I was happy with his work. He was prompt, came out the same day. Issues all over the house were addressed. Happier now of some safety assurance.

Cons:
- High 1st hourly rate
- If you don't choose to go with them, they charge you a full hour - very high price for a quote
- Very rude lady who takes billing info
- Contractor let me go to the store for him to exchange a product that he mistaken bought even though, in his mind, it was a flat priced job

Pros:
- Contractor they sent was nice
- Contractor did a good job

Full Story:
I called to get a quote for a 2 part job and the man who answered told me the hourly rates and that when the contractor got there, they could give me an estimate. The quick 10 minute estimate seemed fair and I asked how much the materials portion of the estimate was. Doing some quick math, it came out to be that the estimate was for 2 hours of work based on their hourly rates.

Now, the issues likely arise from miscommunication on both sides as I should have asked specifically but I had assumed that this estimate and work being done was on a time and materials basis based on the prior conversations. They assumed that now that they gave an estimate, it was a flat priced job.

The contractor that was sent was nice and did a good job but had no parts with him. Once he returned from the store, he realized he had gotten the wrong part. Thinking this was a time and material job, I offered to exchange it for him and get the right part. My trip took 40 minutes and he had been finished with the main, more difficult, part of the job for 10 minutes or so. He popped in the exchanged product and finished up within 5 minutes. Total time that the contractor spent quoting and working was between 1 hour and 1:15.

When paying, they initially were going to charge me for 2 hours. I had assumed the cost would be for an hour or at most an hour and half of the contractors time. After talking with the man I originally spoke with, we agreed to an hour and half which is still more than I would have expected especially with consuming my own time. Upon trying to pay with a credit card, the contractor called a woman on speaker phone to take payment details who immediately stated very loudly and rudely that they wouldn't take credit cards from me since I was getting a 'discount'.

I won't be using them again even though the contractor was pretty good.

Horrible service. They came out before Christmas to repair an issue with electricity in my house and did not fix it properly and now several areas in my house the power is not working if anything they exacerbated the issue and made it worse none of these plugs had issues before they showed up and now I have the same problem that they never fixed and more.

Attached is the invoice I received from Abacus from earlier today.

The actual service I received from Chris and Iris was great. They were both friendly, personable & very efficient. In fact, this job took them less than 15 minutes. That's why I am having a difficult time understanding why I was charged $331.95. Without my coupon- it would have been $381.95! I don't know much about plumbing, but that seems like a hefty price to UNCLOG A SINK. I received quotes from 4 other companies, all SIGNIFICANTLY lower than what I paid Abacus. For that reason alone- I will never go back, and I will never recommend Abacus to my friends or family. As good as the 'service' was, it certainly was not worth that price tag.
