Smart Choice Electrical Services

Fast, prompt, and a good price. Needed electrical outlets moved in a new commercial spot and a light switch installed along with adding a neutral wire.

They don't quote over the phone but come out and give a free estimate. They promptly came out and gave me a good estimate. I hired them for the job. The following day they came and knocked it out in under four hours.  They cleaned up well and left no remains.

They returned the following day to pick up a check. I wanted a switch changed out which they did complimentary (very nice of them)

This company is all about customer service and getting the job done right. Price was market and pretty competitive. Will keep them in my Rolodex forever. Very satisfied with their work!

I was recommended this business and it delivered stupendously! Quick response time and they came out same day to check out the power box and electric vehicle charger installation area. They ordered the parts and came back to install it two days later. Quick and easy, I highly recommend 10/10!

I highly recommend Smart Choice Electrical Services.  

The day before I traveled for an out of state trip, an unexpected electrical issue occurred regarding my home security.

I contacted Smart Choice Electrical Services Friday afternoon.  I spoke with Joby who graciously altered his family's plans that evening and arrived in less than an hour!

Joby is professional, efficient, and resolved the issues the same evening! This provided me peace of mind of my home's security & safety.

I've utilized various contractors for several projects in the past, however this is my first positive contractor experience (ever), hence this review and recommendation.

Kudos to Joby and Smart Choice Electrical Services!

I called the number listed on Yelp and there was no answer on the other end of the line.

I tried again thinking that it sounded odd. They must use some online phone forwarding system.

To my surprise a few moments later when I was on the phone with a company that actually answers their phones, I get six consecutive calls from a different number 832-228-3409.

After getting things set up with the more professional company, I realize that the person had texted me f@$% you.

When I called them back the guy said that someone had been calling his number and messing with him.  

Not sure who you have representing your company at that number but he would not be representing me.

Unfortunately cannot recommend Smart Choice. They came to our home to install two ceiling fans contracted through our home warranty company. We were working from home inside the house and gave instructions to let him get to work and then went back to our business and said just holler if he needed anything.

Both fans were installed fine however when he finished and was heading out the door we noticed they drilled remote holders for the fan into the wall, which we were not asked if we wanted them or where they would even go. We did not plan to mount the remote, and you would think you would be asked in your own home before someone mounts something on the wall for you without even inquiring about it. To make matters worse both remotes were installed completely off centered/random and one you can clearly see another hole that was drilled and not even attempted to cover.

When I called about this all I got was a oh he tried to center them, sorry... and now we get to spend more time and money to remove, cover, and repaint the holes. You shouldn't have to watch your service provides like a hawk while they work nor should they do anything they weren't asked or instructed to do without checking.

Smart Choice Electric Service recently assisted me in upgrading the service at my 45 year townhouse to meet current city code.

When I called for an estimate they responded quickly (within 24 hours), came to the property to inspected; evaluated what was needed for the upgrades and provided a detailed estimate including quality materials they used to complete the job.

Ruben Murillo is the project manager woh provided the service. He is very professional, communicated well, set understandable expectations through out the process and is reliable to his word.  The work  was completed efficiently; everything was vacuumed and cleaned up - all trash removed from the site when the job was completed. The new electric breakers clearly labeled; Ruben made sure I know how to open the panel check the breakers, how operate mechanicals safety cutoffs that were installed and gave me a detailed understanding of the circuits in the home.

Smart Choice Electric Service was recommended to me by word of mouth referral and because of my experience, I will recommend this company to others.

It is good to find a trustworthy company! Thank  you for providing great service!!

I chose this company because all of their electricians are Covid-19 vaccinated and they adhere to CDC guidelines and protocols when providing services in your home or business. I was able to modernize my home at a fair and reasonable price in comparison to other quotes I received and I am very happy with how everything turned out!

Had a bit of a miscommunication initially but Ruben came and saved the day! Last week, we moved into a new home and needed two flush mount chandeliers installed in our master closet. Ruben met with my husband, gave a quote, and installed them within 30 minutes! He was kind and courteous and apologized for the miscommunication. I highly recommend him and SmartChoice to anyone needing electrical repairs and/or help!

2 weeks ago my husband and I were looking to replace our gas oven with an electric one which required a 220 volt line to be installed. After contacting a few companies via yelp Ruben had the best quote and communication! After we scheduled a day for him to do the work everything went smoothly. He sent one of his associates to do the install and he even installed a new security light for us while he was there! We are very happy with the service Smart Choice Electric provided and Ruben and his associate were very professional. We will use them again in the future!

Great service very satisfied definitely I would recommend them
Smart choice!!!
They were very professional whit the service

I can't thank Atlai enough! I was looking for an electrician who could install a motion sensor above my garage and at the front entrance. When I first looked on Angie's list, someone quoted me $800. I thought that was too much so I asked my neighbors and Atlai was recommended. He responds quickly to text/call, extremely professional, comes on time (actually a couple minutes early!) and quoted me $400 including the actual lights + installation. The installation included drilling a hole in the wall from the living room (which is unnoticeable). He came with another partner and they finished everything in an hour. Absolutely amazing. The price is very reasonable for the work that they've done. I highly highly recommend him. PLEASE don't waste your time looking on Angie's list. He's awesome.

I am giving a proper 5 stars to Smart Choice electric. They were very good on coming to my home to develop a quote and they were able to amend that quote even after they sent it to me because I had to change a few things after I considered the cost. They were terrific at explaining the work and helping me prioritize which work would be of the most value to my needs. They showed up promptly on time for all quotes and service jobs, they asked lots of questions during execution to ensure that they were delivering what I wanted, the quality and finish of the work is terrific. They even helped me out with a few other things as well. Very good, very reasonable prices, excellent on time service, excellent quality and finish, and excellent pre and post sale service. I am personally thrilled with every aspect of the job. I hired them to replace a Pacific Electric breaker, install a whole house surge protector, add a few circuits, add a few outlets, and run some data wires. If that is the kind of work you need then you should call Smart Choice.

I requested a quote and got a response within 2 hours. First one back.  Cool. Never did get the service charge amount, so I replied requesting that and a service time.
Waited 3 hours and finally called Ruben's cell.  He got me confused with another customer and said I didn't have enough info for a quote. Finally was able to remind him what I needed and set up a service call the next morning at 8 am.  But he was a no-show as of 8:45am.  So when I called, he said he was in traffic.  I said thanks, but no.  If he doesn't respect my time, I'll give it to someone more professional.

First, I have to give kudos to the guy for answering the phone at 6:45 in the morning; However, he sounded drunk. I would have chalked it up to him being tired, but after 20 minutes of speaking to him he obviously wasn't waking up so.... a little lit IMO.

I had a very simple problem regarding GFCI outlets. He could not or would not give me a quote on the price of replacing them if all other matters were ideal.

==== AVOID at all costs ====

           Good morning Jeff, we don't understand this kind of reviews, base in what happened in  the conversation, you seems to be upset for the reason we didn't give you a price over the phone. Because our policies we do NOT give price over the phone, because doing it so could create some problems.
The companies that give prices over the phone their are not responsable for doing it so.
We requested you, we can go to your property at no charge and you did not want it, we have an schedule to work with, we have to work the time a the best convenience for both of us, but you got mad because we could not sent someone right after you call.
Our policy is first come first serve.
Base in all this we politely request you to remove this review, which on it, you also are assuming situations that are not true.

I will not remove my review.
Based on the fact you could not finish a coherent sentence without being asked to complete it, or repeat it, I stand by my critique. I would be derelict if I did not convey my experience with you to other potential users in regard to trying to get a simple matter resolved. Your odd behavior on the phone did not illicit confidence in gaining my trust in your ability to perform electrical work in my home. People who read this review can make their own decision whether to engage your services. Even if other users have expressed exceptional satisfaction with their experience with your business I will not be using you. As for the time you could come out, I realize a major storm has come through and there are people in need of electrical work more important than mine, so not being able to come out immediately was not an issue. I should remove a star for your request to censor.

I really appreciate that they were able to come out the very next day. The gentleman that showed up was very professional and knowledgeable. Turns out it wasn't an electrical problem however he took the time to show me and explain to me that it was a hot water heater issue. Great customer service. Will be using in the future.

Very professional and reasonably priced. Arrived at scheduled time. It was great working with this company and I will continue to use them for all of my electrical needs. Im amazed at how smoothly this service call went.

Reuben and Atlai and all their workers are extremely professional and courteous. They had a great attitude throughout the job.  We hired them for 2 large jobs and they were a pleasure to work with throughout.  They were very accommodating to our schedule and always got their work done in a timely manner. They never left a task without double checking that it was done right and to code.  -KL

Exceptional service. By the book. Honest guys. They go above and beyond the scope of their responsibilities to make sure you are informed and taken care of.

Referred Smart Choice for my mothers place(Barbara) and they came out as scheduled and did a great job. Had some breakers go out due to a ceiling fan switch and they were able to fix it, will definitely use their services again!

I've been using Smart Choice (Atlai) for electrical work on my primary residence and my rental properties for 4 or 5 years.  If I had to guess, I would say he's done about 20 or more jobs for me.  I can't say enough good things about his service.  He is reliable, fair-priced and always guarantees his work.  He's very quick to swing by and give me a quote and it's never a bait and switch.  Always reasonable, always fair.  And, on top of the great service, he's a very nice guy.  Strongly recommended.

We have used Ruben on several electrical projects. He does very good work, is very reliable and has fair pricing. We will be calling him again for all future electrical needs.

Ruben. Prompt, courteous, fairly priced. Have used him multiple times.  Can't ask for anything else

Needed 30 recessed can lights LED added to our remodeled home. A friend recommended Rueben, who came out the day I called for a quote. Very reasonable prices compared to other quotes. Within a week, his team of 4 came out and installed all 30 lights in one day. The team was professional, polite, and set out tarps/plastic over furniture and floors to protect the furniture. Once complete, they cleaned up everything. I would certainly recommend Rueben at Atlai to anyone!

During our west Houston home renovation we had the entire house re-wired including replacing the breaker box and also added a substantial amount of new electrical outlets and lighting.  The original electrical contractor completely abandoned the job after making a royal mess of things. We were in a state of disaster, however, I found Ruben with Smart Choice and he was able to untangle what the previous contractor had done. Ruben completed the extensive electrical job to our 100% complete satisfaction and highly recommend his company to others!  Thank you Ruben!!
