"This was a fairly large and expensive piece of necessary home maintenance. My home is now 25 years old, and I am the original owner. My main circuit breaker had been "acting up" recently; that is, it randomly failed (opened) as the day proceeded and the temperature rose. It is housed along with all of my other circuit breakers in my main breaker box, which is directly exposed to the early afternoon sun in the late spring and early fall months. Concerned, I did a bit of research online to discover my box likely had reached end-of-life. I called 2 contractors for estimates, and chose West Houston Electric to replace the box. In addition, my original ground rod was disconnected from my home's main grounding lead, which West Houston found when they inspected my box to give me a bid. I was told the original rod was likely galvanized metal provided by the builder, and that it had likely deteriorated significantly over the 25-year life of my house. They also suggested a "whole home" surge protector to minimize the effect of voltage surges that occur, the tech said, on a daily basis. These surges, it was claimed, have a deteriorating effect on any electric devices in my house, especially on "high tech" equipment that utilized chip technology. Both bidding contractors made this claim. I must say I haven't experienced any failures in chip-based technologies in my home. But, my AC compressor, when it comes on, comes on "hard." It must draw a lot of amperage when it cycles on, and it will do so often in the summer months. (I have a "start switch" on it to minimize the abruptness of its operation, but I often wonder what it draws as it is a very loud start.) I chose West Houston Electric to do the work because their competitor found almost $6,000 worth of work to do. To their credit, the tech broke that down to "must haves," "should haves," and "nice to haves." Even so, their bid for the "must haves," the work West Houston performed, was higher. The tech was on time for the scheduled work and seemed quite knowledgeable and likable. The owner had spoken to me on the phone, and came by twice during the work to check on progress. This is a relatively long procedure, by the way. It takes about 4-5 hours start to finish, and your power will be out most of that time. The tech found one more issue that seemed prudent to address regarding a GIF breaker for my pool pump, The competing contractor had suggested that as well. Though the risk is low that a pump failure might cause electricity to flow into my pool, it was the sort of risk that entailed mortality on the down side--that circuit is 220v. It the pump failed, and it caused current to flow into the pool, and anyone was in it, it would be "curtains." If this were to occur, I could not live with myself having chosen to take the risk instead of spending about $400. So, I conceded to add the additional protection. The work proceeded well. The tech and I struck up a good conversation about lawn maintenance, a favorite chore of mine (and his), and it finished up pretty much as we expected. West Houston did a fine job for me. I will use them again as there are always a few more things to be done in a house as old as mine. ("Old" is such an odd description of a house that is 25 years old; but that is Houston for you.)"

"I've been using ADT Home Security for over a year now, and it’s been worth every penny. The peace of mind it gives my family is priceless, but the cost is surprisingly reasonable—just $99.99/month for the Smart Home package. The installation was quick and professional, and the technician took time to explain everything. I love being able to control the system from my phone, and the instant alerts are super reliable. The customer service has also been excellent whenever I had questions. With 24/7 monitoring and smart home integration, I truly feel my home is protected at all times. I highly recommend ADT to anyone looking for a trustworthy and advanced security system. Five stars without hesitation!"

"Sean and Juan were awesome on addressing and handling the upgrade and repairs to the electrical issues to my home. They were respectful to the property and made sure that I understood and was aware of what was going on. My only issue that I had, was the office staff repeatedly failed to let me know what was going on or advising time frames for arrival. Sean made sure that I knew what time they would return the following day and let me know, they would not leave until I had power and a/c and job completed. Can't say enough about these guys. What an asset to this company."

"The cameras were installed efficiently and expediently."

"I was very impressed with the professionalism of allSmart. I think they went above and beyond to provide great service and to do the job as perfectly as humanly possible. I would gladly recommend. They laid a wire of my choosing from one end of the house to the other through attic and wall spaces. That brought the 5Gbps internet connection from where the fiber provider brought it to my study where I have the equipment to make use of that speed."

"Working with Rodney was great. He made the whole process incredibly smooth. He was super easy to communicate with, stayed calm and professional—even when we discovered that one of the fans had a faulty receiver. Instead of letting that slow things down, Rodney worked hard to troubleshoot the issue. Once I got a replacement receiver, he came back promptly and got everything up and running perfectly. I highly recommend Rodney for any electrical or fan installation work. Great attitude, reliable, and truly committed to getting the job done right!"

"It was a pleasure doing business with this company. Quoted me a fair price over phone. Hansel answered all my questions. They arrived on time and installed my system without any issues. They are very professional and left no foot print what so ever. This three men crew were very courteous and efficient. I would definitely recommend them without a doubt."

"SafeStreets made home security easy and stress-free. The technician was knowledgeable, friendly, and completed the installation quickly. Everything was explained clearly, and the ADT system works flawlessly. I feel much safer knowing my home is protected. Excellent service from start to finish—highly recommend SafeStreets for peace of mind and protection!"

"Blake did an excellent and thorough job. We had a leak that he diagnosed and fixed which ended up being a roof issue. He repaired some exterior window framing and also installed new tile floors. He is very detail oriented and his work is impeccable. I have already referred him to neighbors and will definitely use him again."

"It went well. They did the job in a reasonable time. They were professional & nice."
