Service was provided on Sunday afternoon, which was very nice. Sam came out to help and was very polite and knew his stuff. Three stars is strictly for the pricing. We accidentally cut a few wires at the back of a covered outlet, so we called requesting assistance in reconnecting. We were quoted $550 for the rewiring, but upon arrival, the wires were tested and they were not energized and showed no voltage. No rewiring needed, but we were still charged $495. No qualms with the work quality or service, just wish the diagnostic/service-call pricing was made clearer up front. read more

Paul was able to walk me through how to resolve what I thought was a wiring issue with a quick phone call! I'm really happy I reached out to him and will reach out to him in the future if I need anything from an electrician! read more

Amazing service. Paul Richard responded to me within minutes of my request for a quote. He was professional and prompt. He quoted my job and since we had done our research we knew the price was reasonable and competitive. He sent a service technician out (on a Sunday; for a very small urgent fee) and we were so grateful that he did. When I requested information prior to the technician, Paul gave me a great overview of their training, schooling and the company's commitment for the technicians. *you should ask for one it is great knowledge. Juan Carlos our technician came out a lot quicker than I expected and finished the job very efficiently. Juan was very impressive and he was kind. It is my pleasure to give Juan and Paul Richards Electricity company my highest review. PS they're great read more

Been having some electrical issues in my newly purchased townhome which is over 30 years old. David was dispatched within 2 hours. He was kind and knowledgeable. Within 30 min he was able to diagnose the issue and had the problem remedied. I also requested a quote since the electrical panel will need to be moved and replaced soon. I was told I would have it within 24 hours. Will definitely be using them again in the future. read more

Prompt response, and next day visit. Professional, friendly and highly knowledgeable. Went above and beyond to ensure everything was inspected and remediated. Found major electrical issue outside, which we had no idea it was a major variances that could lead to major disaster. There was a visit service fee and per hour fee with min of two hours. But he is flexible. I would prefer quality electrician than not as skilled for cheaper price, especially when it comes to potential electrical variance that need professional assessment and remediation. read more

Paul is AWESOME! Professional, courteous, and a fast and a diligent worker. Got the job done very quickly. Incredible value for the expertise he brings to the project. Would recommend to anyone for their electrical needs. read more

First I am super appreciative of having someone come out in short notice before Thanksgiving. Our outdoor island inexplicably lost power and I couldn't locate the issue. The electrician came out as promised and within an hour fixed the problem. It was great. Now the not so great from my viewpoint--the electrician only replaced a GFCI plug. The reason I hadn't replaced is that maybe a couple years ago I replaced the same plug. It made me curious that within 5 years I am on my 3rd. They charged me a lot. The total charged was 30x plus what a GFCI plug actually costs. Including a service travel fee. I thought it was a bit much but if you need good work and super responsive team, this company will take care of you. read more

Wanted a bunch more work done, but the owner wanted to lump it all together, which I wasn't prepared to do. He kept giving me the run around by email, with no resolution. He left a considerable amount of work on the table with me, but apparently he is very busy. read more

I highly recommend this company. It was Labor Day weekend some of my electric outlets were not working Look at yelped he responded very quickly and asked me about the issues Within a less than 2 hours he showed up Take look at trouble spots are and fixed right away and he told me what's going on each outlet problems. Very happy with his job. read more

I needed electrical work done on a burnt breaker box on a house I am selling in a townhouse condo community. I called Paul on Mother's Day weekend. He has a very clear understanding of how important his work is and personal emergencies don't take a holiday. He replaced the main breaker, navigated the waters of my condo association, provided superior customer service, and did so without sacrificing quality, attention to detail, or value. He effectively balanced making my tenant/buyer feel safe while not putting me in the poor house. Electrical work is important and and can be dangerous. I trust Paul with the safety of my family. He is in my contact list and will be my first call for future needs and recommend you do the same. read more

I requested service and a quote through this app. They got back to me immediately and gave a detailed run down of what to expect and the price and what to do. They came on time as they had scheduled and fixed everything that needed to be done perfectly. Everyone one I had contact with with this company was very nice, knowledgeable and professional. I will most definitely use this company again in the future. read more

They did offer service right away. May give a callback. Hourly rate is more than I wanted.

I would give 0 but there is no option for 0 so leaving 1 star. I called for light repair. Caller quoted me $495 to have someone to come out to look. I thought I misunderstood so I repeated "do you mean $4.95?" He said $495, four hundred ninety five. Lol. Do I even need to bother asking further questions at this point? What a scam. As soon as I repeated $495 he just hung up the phone. Scam, bad work ethics, rip off. read more

I've used this company before and had great service so it just made sense to call them again for fans and an outlet to be installed. The technician who came out was Shamar. Professional and knowledgeable. He installed a couple of fans and an outlet. I was satisfied with the results. Thank you Kathie Wesley read more

Juan Carlos was knowledgeable, courteous and very efficient. This company came out quicker than I expected and Juan was finished within hours of arriving. My panel is completely upgraded and he even cleaned up the entire area. Paul Richard the owner spoke to me directly and stayed in touch until the task was completed. It is my pleasure to recommend this company and Juan. Great job guys. You can see what a difference it made the new one is fabulous. The old one got surged and wouldn't work at all. Thank you Paul Richard Electric!!! Kam Noren read more

Definitely worth the read. For those that are like me that try and research and debate on quality vs price vs experience. Let this be a insight. I had a boot repair sanding machine motor go down. And I had hired a different company which I paid nearly $1000 for them to just trouble shoot and tell me that they weren't sure if they can fix it. Being that this is my means of business that answer was not good enough for me. So a friend as well as, quick response made me pick Paul Richard. (I appreciate your speedy follow up even though u were on vacation) the technician came out assessed the situation and multiple times rest assured the time it would take vs cost. The technician(greg) figured it out and had to go get the part. Well upon return and installation it still didn't work.maybe it being his tool he left and went to home depot to get another tool and comeback just to make sure. With further troubleshooting found out that distributor gave him the wrong part and due to time he would not be able to have it installed and would have to reschedule till the next day afternoon. Stressed and a bit frustrated I said ok. I mean at this point it is what it is. So the next day comes around and I get a call from my mother. He had made it out of his way to get a back full to come in the morning and install the part. Thank you Juan Carlos. And to be honest yes the prices was a bit more BUT the quality, clear communication and attention to customer care surpasses the difference in price. I appreciate everything and the whole experience. We were scared because we didn't think it could be fixed and y'all did it professionally and whole heartedly. Thank you! read more

Paul Richard Electric - My motor had gone out on my sander and this machine is nearly 30 years old so parts were already obsolete. - Electricians Near Me - Houston, Texas

Very responsive, even though I called on weekend late on a Saturday. Responded to my call right away & had a technician, Scott, there on Sunday morning. I chose the emergency weekend call because my new AC went out suddenly & I learned late Saturday it was an electrical issue. Way too hot to wait for a weekday! But the owner was very upfront about weekend vs. weekday rates and ready to accommodate whatever worked best for me based on convenience & cost. Scott was able to locate the problem & get everything running again!! This is a small company, very personable, considerate, and I had a great experience from start to finish. I will call them again if I have any electrical issues in the future. Honest, reasonable fair rates, and considerate, plus got the job done! Loving my cool home! Don't hesitate to call them, great experience. read more

I called and spoke with Paul. He was very helpful, Paul was able to send someone out to my salon to do some work that I needed. The gentleman that came out was extremely professional and on time. I definitely recommend them. Thanks again guys! read more

Reached out to Paul Richard Electric to install 6 dimmer switches throughout our new home. Brandy is who I spoke to from first call to final payment, she was polite and helpful every time we spoke. Unlike other companies who wanted me to pay marked up prices for the dimmers, she encouraged me to buy myself to save cost. She even helped me ensure the dimmer switches I purchased myself were the right ones for the job. Paul the electrician was friendly and fast, installed all 6 dimmers in less than 2 hours. Over all experience was fantastic, will use them again in the future! Thank you all for your help! read more

The electrical outlets in my garage stopped working causing me to be locked out of house. I submitted a quote/work request on Yelp and this company was the first to reach out and accept the job. The technician (Eric) arrived the following day; he was very professional, respectful and informative. He walked me through the issue with my outlets and offered options he could take to fix it and prevent it from being an issue in the future. Highly recommend read more

Responsive, completed promptly and had me up and running fast. I ended up needing a new electrical panel. The team was efficient. Only thing I could say that was not the best, was the employees were late to show up each day. read more

Do not use. First we asked for an estimate and they had us go to the home Depot to look for a part that doesn't exist. PR said he responded via email but I didn't have it even after looking in spam folder. He continued to try and communicate this way even after I said I was getting his emails and have him my phone number and requested texting. Next they didn't show on day they set up. They said they had an emergency which I was okay with but they didn't call to say so. Lastly, they cut a hole in our wall to install an outlet? Since the hole was larger than the outlet cover, they promised they would return that evening with a larger outlet cover. They never did. The picture shows what we are left with. The black around the cover is part of the hole. read more

We needed a ceiling fan hung to replace the original one that lost a blade. The price was reasonable and service was great. They called to say the technician Shemar could be at our house earlier than requested. That was fine with me and worked out well. He was efficient, friendly and worked quickly. He cleaned up after and took the old fixture for recycling. We will use them again. read more

My home was experiencing an issue with the dimming of the lights and the power cutting in and out. I called Paul to see if a technician could come out. He let me know it would be a minimum of $285 ($65 service fee plus $110 per hour with a 2-hour minimum). I asked him that before I decide to spend the money on the service call, does he have any idea what the problem could be from what I explained to him. He said no, it could be any number of things and it was best to have someone come out to troubleshoot. When the technician arrived, I explained to him the same thing I told Paul over the phone and he immediately told me he had seen this issue many times before and he was almost positive it had to do with the electrical feed and I would have to call Centerpoint to take care of it. He even mentioned he gave the same advice to his friends when they told him of the same issue - call Centerpoint first before you decide to spend money on an electrician to see if everything is ok with the electrical feed. He then proceeded to check my panel and the connections around my house before coming back to me and reiterating that I should call my electricity provider. I believe the technician was very knowledgeable, but it was a very poor practice to send out a technician for this call and charge me $285 essentially for advice that could have been given over the phone. For this reason, I can't recommend this company. I wish I could rate the technician separate from the company - 5 stars for the technician, 1 star for the company as a whole and their business practices. Edit: I called Centerpoint and it was an issue with the electrical feed - exactly as the technician said. It took Centerpoint about an hour to fix. As an attorney, I have reviewed the provisions of the Texas Department of Licencing and Regulations pertaining to electricians. There are no guidelines that would forbid any company from asking further questions such as "is it just your home or are your neighbors experiencing the same issue?" "have you contacted Centerpoint to see if it is an issue on their end?". Again, these are things that the technician immediately asked when he arrived and questions if asked on the phone would have saved me $285. Sorry, Paul. 73.51.4 Electrical Contractors' Responsibilities does not prevent you from asking the two questions I mentioned above, nor would it put your license at risk. I appreciate that you read all reviews and take time to respond, but also find it pathetic you can't take responsibility for your own failings. Based on this alone, I could not recommend your services to anyone. read more

Everyone one I had contact with with this company was very nice, knowledgeable. Amazing service.

Not interested in paying $214.0 in advance to have you come out to take a look. I will call someone else. Thank you.

I called this company after reading a few of the reviews here on Yelp. We have a circuit breaker that keeps tripping and really needed a quote and quick fix . First call, I spoke with Paul he gave me a quote and I was ready to schedule. The dispatcher Brandy called me back to schedule and she quoted me something different than what Paul quoted, but she did honor Paul's quote. The tech Kenny comes out, troubleshoots the problem and proceeds to tell me what I need. We needed to replace the bad breaker I asked how much breaker cost and he said about $160, which was fine. I asked if he had the part with him he went to his truck to check, he didn't have it. He made a phone call to someone to get a price on a breaker and then said the breaker would be $199. I told him I couldn't pay what seemed like it would be well over $600. He went outside made a phone call, came back and said the breaker would be $185, they could order it and ship it to their location and he would come back the next day to replace it. This is where I started to feel like I didn't do enough research on electricians and became frustrated. He would've had to drive to 45 and Tidwell to pick it up the part, come back & replace it. My issue with this was the clock doesn't stop, I would be responsible for travel time and actual labor. Not to mention I'm still on the hook for the initial hour, which was only about 15-20 mins tops. I paid the $65 (4% surcharge) trip charge and the $110 (4% surcharge) hourly rate for the technician and took my loss. Once he left I checked Lowes and Home Depot only to find that the breaker was less then $60. By no means do I want this to be a bad review, I just think some things could be explained better prior to scheduling the appointment. My fault, I should've asked better questions, but honestly I didn't know what questions to ask. Their customer service is TOP TIER all around and I highly would recommend them based on that alone. Just do your research on all costs with these guys before booking. *Trip Charge was $65 (this is changing) *Technician hourly rate is $110 *4% credit Card Surcharge *They may or may not have the parts needed on arrival *Double check pricing on parts read more

I cannot recommend Paul Richard Electric Enough! I called Paul on the Friday night of Memorial Day weekend with serious wiring and grounding issues. Paul immediately arranged to have one of his technicians (Jose) meet him at my house so they could assess the situation together. Not only were they both very friendly, they were very through with their work. Paul walked me, step by step, through what the issue was and what'd have to be done to fix it. Paul prides his company on read more

I rarely am surprised by a company but Paul and his team(Efrem and Eric) have made me believer not only in them but of Yelp. One call that's all it took to get them to my house and fix all the small "honey do's" my wife had saved up for me. Their professionalism and knowledge made the job look easy. They were reasonable in their pricing and efficient at their craft. Thank you again and we will be using them again to install our home car charger. read more

We just moved into our home and realized we needed to switch out the dryer plug. Paul was very quick to respond and came out the same day. While on-site Paul quickly spotted several safety issues that needed to be addressed. He was very detailed and went on to explain the importance while also recommending that I get multiple quotes/opinions which I appreciate. Paul is extremely knowledgeable as well as polite and courtesy. We will certainly be using him again in the future. read more
