Words cannot accurately describe how unbelievably awful it is to work with David. I hired David to wire a hot tub at a property I own. We scheduled it for 7 am 2 days after our agreement. David confirms the appointment. At around 1 am the morning of our appointment, I get a text from David demanding I pay him 50% of the project immediately or he won't show up. Normally I would tell him to kick rocks, but we had a very serious deadline and could not get anybody else at that point. I paid it, and asked for David to provide his license and insurance info that he had promised, which he didn't. David then showed up late, never even communicated with us the status at all. At around 6 pm I texted him for an update and he simply said, "I'm done working for the day", with no notice of when he would continue or when the job would be done. I followed up asking for his insurance info that he had never provided and he then went on a rant about how he was the best electrician in Dallas and that I didn't need to worry. I then decided to stop by the property to see things, and found that David had used MY work equipment without asking and had cut numerous holes in walls throughout the house with no notice and left random mess all over the place. Sheetrock and huge chunks of insulation were scattered all over the floor. No attempt to even clean it up. My dogs tried to eat the insulation. It was a disaster and huge safety hazard. I sent David photos of the holes in the wall and asked him to confirm that he would be repairing these before completion. David then said, "I don't do sheetrock." I then stated he should have absolutely told me he would be cutting holes he has no intention of ever fixing before doing so, as I now have a nonrefundable photoshoot for the house scheduled tomorrow, and giant holes in the wall. David apologizes and says he can help me find a handyman to fix them. So I spend all night scrambling to find a handyman without even knowing when I can get them to the house because David won't commit to when he will finish. We now get to this morning, where I get numerous messages and phone calls from various phone numbers claiming to be David, demanding I speak to him. I tell him I don't need to speak to him, and that he needs to finish the job, quickly. He demands again that he will not work unless he speaks to me. I call him. He then demands I need to tell him I'm okay with him cutting more holes and that I will ignore the undisclosed giant holes he cut. I tell him I'm not okay with ANY of what has gone on here, but that I really don't have a choice at this point. He then says I do. And I say, "so you can complete the project without the holes?" He says no. I say, then I have no choice, and I inform him I have my backup handyman waiting and to finish by 3 pm. I then ask him when he is going to finish, and he tells me that his quote says it's a 36 hour project. I ask when he will be done. He refuses to answer, and just repeatedly demands that I need to guarantee that I will pay him his full price when he finishes and waive the damages he caused. I tell him I already agreed to pay him during the initial invoice, have already paid him 50% due to his refusal to begin without it despite these issues, and that the constant reassurances while he repeatedly leaves at random times, refuses to give a clear completion date, and damages my property, are ridiculously hypocritical and that I will not be threatened into doing anything extra for him ever again as I had already prepaid him for his work that he didn't do. He then says I must text him reaffirming that I will pay him the full price while expressly mentioning that I will overlook the damage to the home. I tell him no, and then he quits and demands I let him back into the home unsupervised to gather his stuff. I tell him I will not be doing that, and that I will wait on police to be there for him to do anything at the property since he has quit. He then refuses to coordinate with me to get his stuff, and just keeps repeating that he is coordinating with police to do a civil standby. I sit here waiting for hours, and then he randomly texts me threatening messages telling me he will call the city inspectors and have me shut down because he knows them personally. So he then extorts me. Even now, as I update this, he continues to threaten me for the 8th time just today. His communication is BEYOND BELIEF AWFUL. He is lazy, makes random unreasonable demands and refuses to continue work unless met, has no problem using your tools and equipment without even asking, and does terrible work to boot, while texting you nonstop about how he is the best electrician you will ever have. If you enjoy self harm then he's the electrician for you. Otherwise use absolutely anybody else. Even your grandma. ANYBODY BUT DAVID. Oh and he refused to refund the 50% read more

David Robinson is a talented, hard-working, diligent, and honest electrician. An entirely fair bid. Willing to adapt to the ups and downs of a project. So long as you can, be flexible too (be a little flexible, I mean), I would recommend working with him without hesitation. read more

David fixed our outlets in a jiffy. Great quality and value! We'll be using Robinson Electrical going forward.

David Robinson was a big disappointment. He showed up in a pickup truck with no supplies. He ended having to go get supplies many times for a small job of running outlet line for an electric vehicle. I also had him run a separate line for my future garage heater. He did not show up on time and when he went for parts he would be gone for several hours. He tried pulling to many wires threw the ¾ inch conduit and had a very difficult time. He should have run a larger conduit or just two different runs. The conduit does not conform to the wall, not molded like a professional would have done. The second out for the future heater is constantly popping of so it is useless. For a one day may two-day job it took him over a week and he has not been back to fix the problem. I have called him many times asking him to come fix this issue and he tells me that he will call and let me know when he will be there to fix the short. No return calls. I believe I should receive a refund for this unprofessional. He also changed the pricing several times. Do not hire this person. read more

Robinson quoted one fixed price and raised it over 20% when they arrived. Nothing had changed with scope. Requested an outlet to be replaced, really straight forward. I wouldn't do business with a company that doesn't honor their agreement. read more

Dave got back to me super quick about a project i was needing done! Out of the dozens of places i reached out to, this was one of the few that not only got back to me, but was able to quote me a price and come out pronto to help out! We ended up not needing the services but the customer service and professionalism was top tier and we will definitely be reaching out if needed in the future! read more

Well Hello again!!!! I Just wanted to let anyone know that is looking for an electrician that is professional, honest and does great work... this would be a good company to call. We had a EV charger that needed connecting and he walked us through it from start to finish and did a great job of the installing the unit! He gave us a life time warranty on the work. I would use the company again for sure! read more

David showed up in time, evaluated the work, then went to work hanging 4 light fixtures in our house. Great quality work from a friendly electrician. I recommend Robinson electric. read more

Prompt response. Did not try to oversell project. Pricing was fair. Will use again.

I spoke with the technician and he was able to correct the wiring concern so I was able to update the review.

Supposed to be here 9-9:15am. Past 10:30 and no txt update and didn't answer call. #1 thing to do in life is to honor your word. If you can't do something, then say what you can do and maybe that still works. Took the morning off work for this and had to hire someone else. read more

I just had my old pool light replaced with a new led light by David and am very happy with the results. I would definitely call this business again and refer them to my friends. read more

David was a little dysfunctional to do business with. He was 30 minutes late and didn't notify me ahead of time. He quoted me saying he "has a wife, a girlfriend and kids to pay for". When I let him know that was going to kill our deal if he was serious, he said he was joking. Not funny at all. He quoted me, I paid him half, and he left to get parts without saying anything to me, just walked out talking to himself and drove away. Panicking, I called to see what's up, he said he was going to get parts. Was gone an HOUR, pulled into my driveway, then texted he forgot something and left again. I made it clear to him, that "I don't do business like this". He came back with only about five items and cracked a corner of the lighted mirror he wired and hung for me then tried to hide it and say it came like that. When I showed him the mirror in my estimate request was not damaged, he apologized and said he'd replace it to give him a week. I said no problem. He also changed a breaker for my EV car charger and changed all my lightbulbs as a kind gesture to the same color where he hung the mirror. Those three things took him SIX hours! 11-4:55. He was paid the other half at the end after completing the work. After a week not getting texts and calls returned, on day 8 I followed up as to what time to expect him. He finally booked the next on day 9 promptly after I left a 2 star review here, and replaced the mirror. He should be reaching out to me to replace the damage he broke. He is kind, reasonably priced, but is not good at communicating, runs late with no notice, takes forever, then was dishonest about breaking the mirror he came to hang. He did replace it as he said but I will not be hiring him back. read more

Clear communicator, knowledgeable, and quality work at a fair price. He was able to find the underlying issue and quickly resolve it!

David and his expertise were fantastic. The value of he work was very elevated and the communication was superb. I hired David to install an outlet for my EV Charger. The work was very clean and looks as if it was built with my home. David was patient as I do not know much about electrical work. David came to my house to quote the parts needed since I didn't not know what would be needed, and he returned promptly with the part and amazed me with his skills. Now, I can charge my vehicle at home with convenience due to David's amazing handy work. Exceeded the value of his proposal and I will refer and use David again. Thank you Robinson Electric and Thank you David! read more

I'm so grateful that I found Robinson Electrical on yelp. This is my first time ever using Yelp for service quotes like this, but it definitely exceeded my expectation. David was so responsive and professional, he gave me a quote after 10 minutes of inspection and started to work on it right away. I had my 150 amps outdated panel and meter upgraded the same day! And he is very honest and made me feel that he cares for my best interest. The total cost he saved me was huge! I had a few other quotes before, and I couldn't believe that he could help me save so much money. I ended up paying less than half of what my other quotes I received. I'm so appreciative of David and he definitely earned my trust and future business! read more

Dear Sir I am considering asking you for my problem However could you give me an estimate on the repair work (the light is flashing brightly and I had to shut the light off) therefore no light in the backyard. Would you be able to tell me the cost before you begin the work. I understand then that the price would be $85.00 dollars. The schedule for me (I visit my friend in a re hab facility. Friday the 27th would work better for me . Please call me so we are able to discuss this matter 773 768-0017 Thank You Christine read more

David was easy to communicate and schedule with, was in line with our budget, and got the work done on-time. He installed an outlet for me to plug in my EV level 2 charger. My only hesitation in giving a full 5 star review is I wish he had asked me where on the wall I desired the 240V plug he installed. I would have picked a higher location than he did. That being said, the work besides that was well-done. read more

Submitted a request to install a new pendant light, came out next day. Did an amazing job!

David showed up on time and replaced the GFCI outlet quickly and at a fair price. Will use again

David was available at a short notice and installed ceiling fans on two of our bedrooms. His charges were reasonable. At the end of his service, i casually asked if he also fixes garage doors as ours was making a lot of noise at opening/closing. He was nice enough to get a lubricant spray from his truck and applied that on my garage door without any additional charge!! read more

I received awesome service from Robinson Electrical. I need help with a ring doorbell. I was on time for the service call and installed my door bell quickly. Also I was missing a part, he recommended the part I needed and said he'll come back and install everything. I found that part that day and returned in 30 minutes. He's super knowledgeable and will definitely use his services again. Great value and would recommend his services read more

Prompt service and innovative solutions to get the job done quickly with minimal added cost.

David does a great job. I had a very complicated project and I only added to the complications. But David had the patience to stay engaged in the job and see it to completion in late hours in the dark and never became overwhelmed. He refused to take short cuts even when I told him it was ok! He takes pride in his work and will get your job done right. read more

David responded immediately and was available on a weekend! He installed a plug in our garage for my EV. He was quick and reasonably priced!

Dave responded quickly and came out same day to replace two bathrooms light fixtures. He quoted the price before he saw the work and also recentered one bathroom mirror that was about 2 inches off without charging more than his original price which was good for the work involved in changing out the fixtures. I will definitely use Dave in the future for electrical work. read more

So, I made a mistake this morning hanging a new TV on the wall. Drilled right through an electrical wire and lost power to the living room and A/C! Did I mention it is 105° outside? Ugh!! I called Dave...on Sunday...and he was out an hour later. An hour after that we had power, A/C and TV! His work was professional and reasonable. I highly recommend Robinson Electrical! read more
