Best Home Building in Austin TX

Dan was quick to respond to my service request and came to my house very soon after making arrangements. He helped me with a fan installation and was very informative and helped me solve my issues. I learned a little more about wiring from my ceiling thanks to Dan. Friendly and fairly priced. Thank you, Dan.

We'd been struggling with an outdoor light fixture for way too long--and it was time we needed a professional look at it.  The Colvin Electric folks made us a speedy appointment, completely checked out every possible area for issues, and left us completely happy with our new, beautifully functioning lantern.  We're definitely calling them back if we have any other electrical needs!

Sometimes I throw business cards away, sometimes I scan them with a note akin to 'don't ever use' and sometimes.... sometimes... the business card gets placed near my computer so I remember to write a yelp review as soon as I have a moment.  You know... if they were superb, fantastic and all that jazz.

Rumsfield's card got put next to my computer. Here's why:

- Answered phone, Took information, Made appointment

- Came when he said he would

- Assessed situation and fixed it up lickety split.

- Charged me in relation to the complicated-ness (or lack there-of) of my problem.
(Read: DIDN'T try to charge me $300 for something that ended up being minor.)

- Friendly and personable in just the right proportion.

Really can't think of  even a single thing I'd improve. Stellar.

For the curious:

My problem was one of those embarrassingly simple ones.  Some of my outlets mysteriously stopped working. Not ALL of them, just some.  (I've mentioned before that while I don't shy from garage tools and the like, electricity is a fear. Silly, but true. Thus, I was not the person who was gonna be opening up outlets and poking around at wires.)  

Anywho... As it turns out...the problem was just some connections that were poorly installed. Adjust, tighten, re-do and all was good.  That was a few months ago and I've had zero problems since.  His remedy has truly stood the test of time.

Thank you !

I feel a little taken advantage of!  My husband requested they come out to give us an estimate to get a residential generator, and for that they would require $250(our fault for agreeing).  Had never heard of this before,  but my husband agreed to it.  On the day he came I had a lot of questions, I thought he would at least have the answers and detailed explanations of how it worked.  Most of which should have been answered over the phone and would have saved us $250.  Also multiple questions I had,  he did not seem to have the answers too.  Save your $250 and call someone else!!  He certainly was not an expert.  And also did not even know what the product warranty was.  For my $250 literally got a load test and that was about it.  They know there is a demand (6 month waiting list) and can make a quick buck, oh yeah and want most of the money up front.  Do your due diligence, ask if you will need another propane tank, ask how much that will cost, ask how much it will be to run existing line from a propane tank?  My husband I guess read good reviews about other services they perform, but I promise you, save your $250, I agree with a previous post, ridiculous!!!  All they do is sell you the generator and hook it up to house, they don't do anything else.  Wish I could make that kind of money for doing nothing.  Live and learn.  Like I said, a few quick questions over the phone would have saved us $250.  How would we know we would need a second propane tank( no way HOA would allow it), also a huge added expense on top of  $16,000 he wanted.  He could have asked this over the phone! Also make sure you have a place to put it and that they can get it there easily.  Seems to me just an electric Company jumping on the band wagon of people desperate to get a generator and making a quick buck.  Anyone that wants to charge you $250 to sell you something from $15,000-$17,000 should be your first clue.  Just trying to save others from our bad decision :-(.
