Best Home Remodeling in Austin TX

I called Dan to install three ceiling fans in my new home. He did a good job and didn't stop for a moment until all the work was done. I didn't post a review then as I thought he did what was expected.

Two months later two of the fans started clicking, so I messaged Dan on a Sunday asking him to call me to see what could be done.

Less than an hour later Dan came by and spent more than 90 minutes diagnosing what the problem might be disassembling and reassembling, tightening, testing. Eventually all was well again and when I asked what I owed him for his travel and time he said nothing, consider it warranty work.

No one is perfect but a guy who stands behind his work is refreshing and should be rewarded.

Dan is my guy for future work.

Contacted them to get a quote for home charging setup for an EV. I spoke with Adam on the phone who had me send a few pictures of electrical equipment and he was able to give me a few different options and provided me with an email copy of a quote. He was very knowledgeable, and I felt comfortable using this company and setup for installation one week later. The electrician arrived promptly and was very professional. I discussed everything with him prior to the job and everything was done just as they said it would be. He was very clean and professional throughout the process. Everything looks great and pricing was reasonable. 10/10 would recommend and will plan on using them for any future electrical work.

We've already utilized JT&L's services twice within the last month and have been really happy with JTs electrical work. I got to meet both JT and Laurie and they're both professional but also very friendly and personable which is something you don't find too often.

JT fixed electrical issues that resulted from another company doing a very poor electrical installation at my mother-in-laws rental property (see my other review for who not to use) which JT was able to RESOLVE VERY QUICKLY and he also fixed an electrical issue at her primary residence. I'm happy support this business not only because of the quality of work at a fair price but also because it's veteran-owned. I'll definitely be reaching out to JT&L for any future needs!

Hired father and son duo to install my bathtub and plumb faucet with PEX. Provided the install instructions. They were super friendly- however...

They installed the faucet upside down, but came back to correct it. They did not shim under the tub nor put cement or felt as Recomended by the manufacturer. Found out later that the overflow plastic mechanism was broken off during install but not mentioned. Tub was scratched on the apron as well as the bathroom door. Tub was not shimmed to the studs, and had to be reattached. Shower head spout was not positioned correctly (recessed too deep) for Sheetrock to go over. Tub spout was 2in higher than per the manufacturer. The work got done with no leaks so far, but the quality for the price is simply not in alignment. I corrected about half of the issues, but they should have knocked off 30-40% of their price as I'm certain they did know they were being rough. I would hire them again despite this review, but they need to be managed with certain types of work to ensure that they are careful and thorough.

Lewis has done several jobs at my residence, I'm just getting around to reviewing.  He gets the job done quickly, efficiently, and does so at a fair price.  He is a great communicator.  He's consistently on time and doesn't leave until the task is done. He brings ideas to the table when I'm not sure what I need. He is knowledgeable, and puts high quality into every task I have used him for. He's done electrical, flooring, and trim work for me. He deserves an A plus on each job.

Doug responded quickly, and was able to complete the job ( installing a dedicated RV outlet on my home) within my timeframe. He was polite, quick, honest, and fair. I would recommend Windy Hill to everyone with electeical service needs!

Danny was amazing! We originally called him in to install a couple deadbolts on 2 doors in the house. At first I thought I would do it myself, but once I realized it was a lot more work than I had anticipated, we called in Danny. He was very courteous and friendly and quoted us for 1 hour worth of work. Not only did he install the deadbolts like we asked, he also fixed problems on both doors (one was not closing all the way and one was jamming) so they would close properly. He also patched up several areas around the door where paint has been chipped off throughout the years.

Once he was wrapping up, we were talking and I mentioned how one of the bathtubs in the house was not draining anymore so we couldn't use it. It turns out he is a plumbing expert too. Withing 15 minutes, the drain was back in working condition!

I live in a very old house so there are a lot of issues that need to be addressed. Finding a friendly, honest, and trustworthy handyman like Danny is rare, so we are very glad to have met him. I will definitely be calling him back when we are ready to tackle some of the other issues in the house. A List is a company I'd feel confident recommending to my friends and family. Thanks again Danny!

I had a great experience through out my projects with Justin and his crew. Justin was always responsive, showed up when he said they would, and was open to any changes that I had. This was very refreshing as most contractors I've dealt with have not been responsive and just randomly show up. I highly recommend Justin and his crew to anyone needing electrical work. The crew did great work for me and were a pleasure to work with. I'll definitely use Goat Electric again when I need more electrical work.

They showed up punctualy and quickly diagnosed the problem with my Service Panel Box. Laid new wire and rewired wall box and no more breakers tripping. Definitely a professional crew.

Great job. Don is always on time, always dependable and has the best prices in the surrounding area. Very fair. Professional and competent, licensed, LLC electrician. From simple to complicated, Don can do it and do it right.

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!

Where to begin.  I had intermittent power outages house-wide.  I called A-Tex Electric and they sent out a repair person.  I detailed the issue to the owner in advance via phone and text, so they knew what was needed.
After arriving, the repair person went to determine the cause.  Then, after a few minutes, he asked to go to the bathroom and stayed in there for nearly 20 mins.  Then, after finishing, he went upstairs and I didn't see him for quite some time.  It turns out he was up there replacing four light sockets without telling me, so I never approved the work, and I didn't need the work.  He ultimately said I'd need to replace all of the sockets in the house (which were all functioning fine btw), but he couldn't quote me a price.  I then asked if he could do the work and he said he didn't have time, so I asked him why he would come out if he didn't have time to do a repair.
Then, he claimed to have no idea how to estimate the cost even though he had worked for A-Tex for 12 years.  According to him, he didn't know if they charged by the service or by the time.
We ended up calling the owner and getting a voicemail.  Then he called back and we stayed on the phone for 10 mins while the repair person just stood there.
Then he left saying he would get me a quote via email.
Well, sure enough, I received a bill for the four socket replacement repair for $420!  So they expect me to pay $420 for four sockets to be replaced, which I didn't want, need, or authorize.
I called the owner of A-Tex and told him I found the bill to be high and that I felt like I was being taken advantage of.  He claimed they charge an hourly rate of $120 (which isn't on their website, nor disclosed when I spoke with the owner), he charges for drive time, and he rounds up to the highest hour.  Then you pay for parts.
Of course, the 20 min bathroom break and 10 min phone call with the owner while the repair person stood there (just to get a quote for repairs!) was on the clock, unbeknownst to me.  That bathroom break and phone call cost me $60!  And that time triggered the cost of another hour or work even though it went into that third hour by a few minutes.
Then the owner made my jaw drop when he said they couldn't actually fix the intermittent outage because by the nature of the problem they can't determine the cause since it likely wouldn't happen while they were there.  I asked him, So you sent a repair person out knowing that the problem couldn't be diagnosed and the repair couldn't be done.  He said yes, and apologized.
Ultimately I offered to pay $120 for the $420 since I didn't want the work done, didn't authorize the work, didn't need the work, the repair person was there unnecessarily (by their own admission), and the bill was padded with a 30 min drive to my house, a 20 min bathroom break, and a 10 min phone call to the owner.
To add insult to injury, in a later email with the owner he told me that he had a $240 minimum, yet another price consideration that was never disclosed (and would've kept me from using them) and that he would put a lien on my house if I didn't pay.  I would win in court because the work was unauthorized (and thus there was no paperwork showing that it was), but the effort of that would be too much.
In that spirit, I'm writing this review to warn ANYONE that is thinking of using them that they will be screwed over with impunity.  Buyer beware for certain.  Don't walk away from A-Tex Electric....RUN!

We were replacing pretty much every light fixture in our house and adding canned lighting to a couple of rooms. Klock Electric did everything on the list plus more and came out WAY below the original quote we had from the other contractor. They showed up when they said they would and did a good job. They're our new go to for electrical work.

They are extremely over priced. I had to pay them $79 for a simple estimate that didn't involve even looking into my ceiling/walls. When I did receive an estimate the price was over $500 for less than an hour of work on a project that would involve minimal materials. I used to practice law in New York City and I would never charge these fees.  

Essentially, I paid them $79 for a minute of their time.

BUYER BEWARE

I called Joel to do work at my property, and asked him for information relating to rate, schedule, etc. I also emailed him a small punchlist of repairs. Most important, because of the forecast for rain, was to replace some shingles on my rental property.
Joel agreed to the work, and said he would come to my property and put two men to work at a rate of $70.00/hour. He said he was busy, but scheduled me out about 10 days. He promised to be at my property on that Tuesday morning between 8:30 and 9:00 AM.
Tuesday morning I got up, secured the dogs and the livestock, and waited for Joel. After a couple hours waiting, I called to find out if he's coming. Joel said his alternator went out, but he would let me know. I waited all day, and nothing.
Next morning at 8:10 he called, said he is on his way. I secured the animals again, and waited. He showed up at 10:30 with two men. I told him I was leaving out of town in the morning, be gone for a week, and don't start anything he can't finish today. Heavy rains were coming, and I don't want materials sitting out in the elements. Joel left to buy materials, took one worker with him? and left one worker on-site. Joel and the second worker came back - three hours later - dropped off about $400.00 worth of materials and left for the day. He said that it was too hot to replace the shingles, but he would replace them in the morning - never happened.
Then, at 3:30, after 5 hours of work, the ONE worker packs up his tools, and hands me a bill for $1400.00 ($726.00 materials). I thought that was nuts - let's see the materials receipt. Materials were marked up by over $100.00, and he charged a $75.00 service charge on top of that. He charged me 7 hours of labor despite only 5 hours of work. He charged $50.00/hr for one man, instead of $70.00/hr for two.
Instead of giving his man (nice guy, good worker) the $35.00/hr split, I gave him a check for 5 hours @ $50.00/hr for $250.00. I told his man to please take the materials with him. Since we were leaving at 4:30AM the next morning, I told him we would work out the (significant) differences upon our return.  Our main concern (replace the shingles) was never completed and was rained on, the jobsite is half demo'd now, and the demo'd materials remain on our property.

While we were gone, we got a call from a process server. Yes, Joel is suing us.
