I'm retired now and I've had about a half dozen homes built over the years, both in Colorado and…read moreTexas. I've had experience with a lot of general contractors and subcontractors, almost all of it very positive. This outfit may not be the worst I've ever dealt with, but it's close. Jimmy Benton seems like a nice guy and he's probably a very good electrician. He's great at making promises and getting your business. I was led to believe he'd be doing the work on my new barndominium, probably with a helper or two. But instead of Texas Licensed Electrician Jimmy Benton, what I got was a gaggle of inexperienced, untrained, unsupervised, and (probably) unlicensed teenagers and 20-somethings. I've seldom witnessed more incompetence by "tradesmen", or such a lack of professionalism from a business owner. I can't count the number of times Jimmy promised to get work done on a firm date and then stood me up without even the courtesy of a phone call. I repeatedly had to postpone the other subs, always looked like an idiot after the third or fourth instance. I estimate that Country Boy's Electric cost me between 6 and 8 weeks on my little building project, not to mention untold frustration. Whenever his employees did show up (I call them the Kiddie Krew), they managed to screw up even this small and simple job repeatedly. Several switches and outlets had to be moved, causing a lot of avoidable drywall damage. (Check out the pictures.) A full bucket of stain got kicked over on a new floor. Then there was the light switch that gave me a shock, and the switches that still don't operate anything. Jimmy was always conspicuously absent when the Krew was on my job; I never once saw him with a tool in his hand. But he always magically appeared whenever he needed a draw. He's a master at not returning phone calls and avoiding confrontation; I once had to drive to Hamilton and corner him in his office. (I couldn't see his computer screen, but I suspect he was sitting there playing video games.) He did personally come to finish the job and address the safety issues on the last day, but only because I demanded it before paying him his final draw. Since my unfortunate experience with Jimmy and his Krew, I've talked to several other local tradesmen about them. I haven't yet heard a positive thing said. (They are commonly known in this area as The Goon Squad, but I still prefer to call them The Kiddie Krew.) Don't take my word on all of this; I'm not just a lone crank with a grudge. Do yourself a big favor and ask around about Country Boy's Electric before hiring them. Or at least ask to meet some of his "help" when Jimmy is giving you his sales pitch; you'll see what I mean.

We got a quote and a date to start the wiring of our new house (which is only 640 SF). He requested…read more1/2 of quote up front and we paid. Well that was the last we saw of the owner until it came time to pay the other half. As another reviewer said he is a master of promises but not at keeping them. We hired them to save time but it cost us more time on top of that because they never came back or returned calls to fix what they did wrong. About a 3rd or more of the wiring was wrong gauge or run to the wrong place or not run at all. My husband ended up having to buy the wire and do it, which defeated the reason of calling an electrician. It seemed like one of the three very young guys knew what he was doing and the other two didn't. We should have known from the moment they said they filled in the wire ditch and it was only about 1/2 done too! I make sure to leave reviews when a good job is done and I make sure to leave one when a bad job is done. Don't waste your time or money on these people. You will only end up with less money and more frustration. The sad part is I think the owner probably had a good business at one time. But not anymore. He needs to hire experienced men and supervise journeymen.

Dublin HVAC & Electrical installed a 4-ton central HVAC system in a 100+ year old 2-story home in…read moreEastland County that other local HVAC companies weren't comfortable doing and they did a great job! Even better, they got the job done closer to our budget than quotes we received from other companies and we weren't required to hire a separate electrician to wire the HVAC system since these guys are also licensed electricians and included all the electrical as part of the job. They had the entire job completed in less than a week, and it was a big job as the home had never had a central system and all duct work in the attic and in the crawl space had to be installed. Finally, it has been evident Dublin HVAC takes pride in their workmanship and ensuring any issues after install are addressed promptly and completely and that's so valuable as a customer. Everyone we've dealt with including Tammy, Tyler, Joey, Shane and Steven have been great and we appreciate what they've done for us, so thank you all! If Dublin HVAC & Electrical will service your area, call them and you'll likely be glad you did.

Dave is excellent. I have multiple properties in Belton/Temple and needed my service upgraded to…read morecurrent electrical service standards. He came by and gave me a quote in person, rather than the other people on here that I contacted and just gave me a range of a quote over the phone. He is on time, polite, and very professional. He spoke with the city, scheduled the inspection, and was there when Oncor was present. He did everything he said he was going to do and more. I highly recommend Dave! Contact him for a quote; it takes no time at all and you will be very happy with the results. I have now found my local area electrician for all of my properties in this area.
