Best Home Building in San Antonio TX

Caveats: I live out-of-state and own a tenant-occupied house that was built in 1974 and was a fixer-upper when we bought it in 2006.

Maybe it is the above info that makes it so hard to find a great handyman. I don't know. But when I first contacted Dan I had really high hopes based on all the great reviews. I explained that we really needed was a handyman we could send a To Do list to and they could take it from there....set up appointment with tenant and follow-thru until list was complete.

It never really worked out that way. Lots of calls/explanations/rescheduling with tenants/confusion over to do list/confusion over parts needed/etc. The final straw was the 4th (or 5th?) scheduled appointment that Dan arrived at and immediately told tenants he couldn't stay to complete any of the work.....just dropped by to cancel in person.

He seems like a really nice guy to sit and chat with. Maybe if you are on site and really flexible with your time he'd be a good fit. The amount of time and money I spent, though, to try and get a pretty basic list complete (we're talking installing a kitchen sprayer, touch-up painting, putting on a screen door, etc....) wasn't worth the hassle. 3 1/2 months after first contacting him, my tenants have thrown up their hands in frustration, and I'm moving on....

I've been using Bowman Electrical for years. Mr. Bowman is knowledgeable, friendly and explains everything. His prices are reasonable. He loves what he does and it shows as he goes above and beyond to get the job done. I highly recommend this company. You won't regret!

J's Electric came out to fix our dryer outlet and did a great job. When we sold our house we called him again to come and install new GFCI in the kitchen, garage, and around the pool. He was professional, on time, and completed the project at the estimated cost. We will definitely used him again!

It's hard to find a contractor that will give you an honest estimate and a fair price with out compromising quality of work. Chris prides himself on his honesty and quality. Fix Rite has completed multiple projects for me in a timely manner at a great price. I love supporting local family businesses and I hope you do too!

Very happy with our service visit today. Joe and his partner were professional, courteous and patient with us. They quickly diagnosed our breaker box issue and fixed it promptly. We will definitely use these guys again in the future.

If I could give them a 0 I would have. Un professional business and bogus company.
After talking to Daniella who call her selfthe boss  explained all I needed is an electration to come by and show me where is the PGFI outlet due to no power in couple of my plugs. She said there will be no charge unless something needs to be done which before we do anything we give out an estimate. Literally it took less than couple minutes for the electrician to find the outlet then they wanted to charge me $135 when I called back with complain I spoke to Daniella again who called herself she is the boss of the company very rudely said that you have to pay and this is the charge and hang up the phone.

They came out to our home to give me an estimate for outdoor plumbing work. I was not home when they were there and the understanding was they would call me to let me know what the estimate was and what work would be required. They proceeded to do the work without any authorization from me, the homeowner, and then sent me $1000+ bill for the work complete. I called them and explained that I gave NO authorization to do the work because nobody bothered to tell me what the work was and had I known it was going to be over $1000, I wouldn't have gone through with it. Their resolution was to give me a measly 10% discount on the bill. I paid the bill because I'm not a scam artist but they clearly do not follow protocol and they take advantage of their customers. Shame on them.

We had a great experience with Colvin Electric and can't speak highly enough of Ivan Torres.  He was friendly, professional, and very communicative and responsive throughout the service process.

My husband and I initially called Colvin Electric because we'd lost power to one room in our house.  My husband has done basic wiring and thought he would fix it himself, but it turned out to be more complicated than he'd expected.  Colvin came to diagnose that problem and we also asked them replace our old Federal Pacific breaker panel.  They gave us a quote (which was much better than quotes we received from other places) and we scheduled a time for them to come back and do the work.  They do seem to be pretty busy, because we had to wait a couple weeks, but we are glad we did.  (It seems that most electricians are really busy during this COVID season when so many people are doing home repairs and remodels!)

They replaced the panel and had to test all of the breaker switches to identify them and label them.  They were very professional and considerate as they worked through each room in our house, testing outlets and flipping switches.  Due to an unforeseen circumstance with the city, the inspector wasn't able to come and sign off on the work, so they had to stay very late and get a temporary approval so that our electricity could be turned on.  We appreciated their professionalism, the fact that they were able to find a temporary solution, and that they were committed to staying until everything was taken care of.  Due to that situation with the city inspector, they did not have time to fix the electricity in the room we had initially called about!  But they got us back on the schedule for the next week and were able to take care of the problem in about 30 minutes!  It turns out that the problem started with a neutral on the outlet behind our fridge, which is in a completely separate room than the one that lost power.  We were impressed with how quickly and simply they identified and resolved the issue.

They did a great job on replacing the breaker panel and repairing the electricity in the previously dark room!  We will not hesitate to call Colvin Electric ANY TIME we need electrical work done.

They did several installations on our house and we're very satisfied with the work and professionalism. They communicate, show up on time, and are skilled electricians.
