Review Summary
Honesty Electric earns its name — when a 1901 Dilworth renovation was abandoned by a prior contractor, Louis quoted and corrected the mess without exploiting the customer's urgency, then returned at no charge when a GFI outlet failed post-payment. A perfect 5-star rating on 393 reviews and a consistent track record of doing exactly what they say.
Pros
- Courtesy call from Luis before every arrival — no guessing on the four-hour window
- Stepped in to salvage a renovation at a 1901 Dilworth house after a prior electrician abandoned the job, diagnosing and correcting the flawed work without gouging a desperate customer
- Return trips to fix faulty GFI outlets after payment made at no charge — they stand behind completed work
- Same-day chandelier install in a two-story foyer; scheduling flexibility praised alongside craft quality
- Ceiling fan install confirmed "no wobbling" — technicians stayed until the work met the homeowner's standard, not just their own
Cons
- Smaller operation with no physical storefront listed — availability for large or overlapping jobs may require lead time
- Website URL appears malformed in public listings, which can create friction finding them online
Our Review
Honesty Electric holds a perfect 5-star rating across 393 Google reviews — and the name turns out to be an accurate descriptor. The most revealing review comes from an experienced renovator who has completed five personal renovations and helped with dozens more: when a prior electrician abandoned a job on a 1901 Dilworth house mid-project, Louis and his crew stepped in, diagnosed the flawed work, and quoted honestly for the additional scope even knowing the customer was desperate. They could have charged almost anything. They didn't.
That same review notes that when a GFI outlet failed after the job was paid and closed, Bryan came back out at no charge to fix it. That policy — standing behind work after the invoice is settled — is not standard in the industry and is exactly what the company name signals.
The operational details are tight. Luis gives a courtesy call before every visit. The scheduling coordinator Jazz communicates clearly via email with all relevant installation details. Luis and Gouda's ceiling fan install in a bonus room included patient adjustment to eliminate any wobble before they signed off. These are techs who understand that "installed" and "done right" are not the same thing.
The one real friction point is discoverability: the website URL in public listings appears malformed, and the company operates without a physical storefront address. For a company this good, finding them requires knowing to look. Get the direct phone number and use it — the quality on the other end is worth the extra step.
