Thanks for the nice review! Since we are fully licensed, insured, and warranty all of our work, we do sometimes come in a little higher than other electrical contractors / electricians. We are one of the few residential electrical contractors in Houston that still does service work on a "Time & Material" basis and not on a menu or pay per piece of work done. Our electricians are not salespersons which allows them to concentrate on getting the job finished in a timely manner and most importantly up to electrical code. We are thrilled that you were happy with our professionalism and service and we look forward to serving you again! Sincerely, - Trim Electric Staff

Called and told the representative what I needed and she called me back later to schedule the appointment. They were able to accommodate my schedule, which was very helpful. The day of the appointment the electrician called me to let me know that he was on his way and make sure I'd be there. He showed up on time, was very professional, and took care of everything that I wanted to have done. I even made the absolutely cardinal sin of leaving a workman in my home alone while I went to buy the correct light bulbs for the lights. He tested everything, wrote up my invoice. When I questioned why the Angie's List coupon wasn't applied, he asked for the coupon. I didn't have a print out and told him I'd discussed not having a way to print out, so the rep told me they would note it on my file. He applied the $20 off. Overall a very good experience and I will be calling them again for more work.
Description of Work: They replaced the front porch light with a new porch light. They had to cut the siding to make sure everything was hung properly. They replaced an old door bell with a new lighted doorbell. They removed an old flood light that no longer worked on the patio with a new outdoor light.

Called Trim Electric Inc because of their AngiesList.com listing, their rating and because I like to do business with my neighbors. They were able to work me in on the same day. The electrician actually called me earlier than our scheduled appointment because he was available earlier than expected. Michael was such a professional. He showed me the damaged GFCIs and fully explained what the damage was from. My repairs were done on the spot and in a short amount of time. While I hope to never need an electrician again, but if I do, I will definitely hire again.
Description of Work: No power in some of the outlets in the kitchen and two upstairs bathrooms.

Great. They respond quickly to a request for quote, and are quick to schedule the job. The workers are punctual, professional, and very courteous. They clean up after the job, and make sure that the work meets the specifications. This is the second time that we have used them, and they are a top notch service company. We highly recommend them!
Description of Work: 1. Added 4' and 8' fluorescent fixtures in garage, tied to existing switch. 2. Added 2 bronze Par 38 triple flood light fixtures on 2 corners on back of house, tied to existing switch, and included dimmer control.

He seemed like he knew what he was doing. There were two of them and they were really nice. He told me the price. They were very personable. They did their business and didn't dirty my house, they cleaned up everything, they took their shoes off and put these little booties on. I think their price was reasonable. I was very happy with them.
Description of Work: I've been using Trim Electric. He installed a timer on my front porch light. They did two timers and there was a click noise when I turned on my switches and he checked it for me. He replaced one of the switches. They also put up a ceiling fan.

I called Trim Electric based on Angie's list. I checked their service area coverage which shows my address within their area of coverage based on the map in Angie's list. When I called to request service, they stated they do not service below I-10. I did not see this specified on their website and the service map on Angie's list clearly shows. Thus, my time was wasted calling a company that does not service my particular area.
Description of Work: Service map coverage area not accurate

From start to finish they were responsive, professional and a pleasure to work with.
Description of Work: I had used Trim for several small jobs, and when the time came to remodel my kitchen, I called them for a bid. I was very specific in the kinds of lighting I wanted to use -LED, and knew the bid would be expensive. The bid was comprehensive to rewire, install plugs lights and switches. The project had several phases, installing the new wiring while in the rough framing stage, Installing lights, switches and plugs after the plaster work was completed, and the finalizing the installation after the granite and marble back splashes were installed. Trim was very responsive to my schedule including working on several Saturdays to get the work finished. I could not be happier with the result. It is a-one quality and a very professional result. My multiple experiences with Trim Electric have been a pleasure. I recommend them highly.

Everything was excellent. After they left my house, my electric went out. Though, it was the city who turned it off. When I called back (thinking it was them), the owner walked me through the whole process. I was very happy with the final cost.
Description of Work: They came out to check out a buzzing sound in my outlet. Repaired two other small issues.

No problems reaching the company and quickly getting a date & time for an estimate to be performed. They were on time for the estimate and in addition to doing exactly what we wanted, gave us some ideas for how to do things more cheaply and efficiently. We have not yet made a decision on whether to go ahead with the project but given the low-key, thoughtful, professional experience we had for the estimate, I would highly recommend them to anyone.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. Our policy is to get back to our clients or potential new customers on the same business day. It was our understanding that you wanted to get the work done immediately and one of our new dispatchers should have explained that we were overbooked and given you the option of scheduling the service call anyway. We have addressed the issue and hope that in the future you will give us an opportunity to serve you. Sincerely - Trim Electric Staff

Everything was perfectly fine. They were professional and not at all pushy. It was a pleasant experience. We were just able to find a source that was more economically reasonable.

I the past, we really liked his services but most recently I have been disappointed. My biggest issue is he did not have anything on his truck to do the work. We wanted a certain color for the outlets but he did not even offer to get the right outlets for the job. We had to settle for what he had available. He laid out the outlets to install on the floor but he forgot a few. I caught some of the outlets that he did not install before he left but there is still one sitting on the floor at this time. I am not happy with the service and I will not use their services again. It always seemed like he was in a hurry to leave and he rushed to get out the door. It is all basic electrical supplies that he should have available on his truck and he admitted it himself. He also made excuses for his work. If he would have told me, I would have been willing to supply the right materials for the project. I would say his work is not as thorough as it was in the past.
Description of Work: He has done a lot of electrical work for me over the years. He has repaired some electrical outlets and most recently fixed my garage light.

Response from Trim Electric Inc
We apologize for your most recent experience with us! Our service trucks are fully stocked, but their are times when we don't have the colors or styles of dimmers or switches that some of our clients want. For future customers who are reading this please know that if you have a very specific color or style you want then please inform the dispatcher ahead of time and we will pre-order all material needed before we go out on the service call. ith regards to the item you mentioned that was left with you; that is your switch that was taken off and replaced with a dimmer. The electrician should have specifically told you this and handed you the replaced item. We have spoken to him about this so that it does not happen in the future. We are very proud of the fact that we always leave our work area clean before we leave a clients home and are surprised that he left the switch on the floor. Please consider the service you received an anomaly and try using our services once more in the future. I am positive that you will be satisfied! Sincerely, Trim Electric Staff

We were pleased with the results, Mike had to work up in the attic in the brutal heat but it looks very neat. there were no extra surprise costs .
Description of Work: We had four outlets installed in our attic. There was only one bulb in the attic and we had put on a plastic extension with two plug on it so we could plug in the UV light for our AC and also to plug in our booster for our cable. as a result we had leave the switch for the lightbulb on all the time and we had to screw and unscrew the bulb by hand whenever we went into the attic.

From our initial contact with the office to completion of the job, we were very impressed with everyone we dealt with.The estimator came to our home to discuss our needs the first day we were available. He arrived on time and was very helpful. The estimate was emailed to us in several days and the work was scheduled within 2 weeks of our initial contact. Ruben andMatt worked continuously for 1 1/2 days, always pleasant and professional. Our job included many items to be installed where there had not been fixtures before, requiring additional wiring etc. They were very careful to keep any wall/ceiling repairs that might be necessary to a minimam. The work was completed as bid, on time and they cleaned everything up nicely before leaving. This was a great experience! Thanks to everyone at Trimm!

On both occaions, they were on time and completed the work to my satisfaction in a very reasonable time frame. Their workers are professional and were careful and thorough. There is no question that I will call Trim for all of my electrical needs.
Description of Work: I have used Trim twice since I moved into my new house in Magnolia. They came a couple of weeks ago to provide a coxial plug in my breakfast room for my television, and yesterday, they came to straighten out my telephone wireing so that I could have a two line phone every where I wanted one. In my opinion, they are very cost effective.

From day one, the professionalism of TRIM ELECTRIC was impressive. The appointment was quickly set up and Jason arrived on time to get me a quote on this rather large job. I could tell this Company was customer oriented. Jason had some good ideas and listened to my requirements for the job. I received the quote in few days ( unlike others that never sent a quote) and the bid was extremely competitive. Once the specifics were agreed upon, the start date was set. The 4-man crew arrived on time with Mike as the lead electrician......real nice guy....very professional and very experienced. We went over the job again and they started working immediately. The job took 9hrs and this crew never stopped working except for a lunch break. Now the best part.....once they were done, they cleaned up EVERYTHING before they left the site - hosing down the driveway; watering the grass that had been moved; vacuuming and removing all the debris in the shed and yes, all lighting and switches worked great as planned. This will be the first company I call for all future jobs and I can HIGHLY recommend TRIM.
Description of Work: This job was bid out to several companies and required getting electricity from my home to a newly built shed......20-25 ft trench; exterior & interior lighting; outlet plugs through out the structure and a light switch installed inside the home to control exterior shed lights.
