Hensley Electric

Hensley Electric runs as a residential electrician outfit based in Galveston, Texas. Phillip Hensley leads it as a Certified Master Electrician and Army veteran who first picked up wiring skills in a high school building trades class. He attended Texas A&M University, served in the Army Reserves, and worked with a Houston area shop after tours in Afghanistan and Pakistan. That experience led him to a field supervisor role at a national electrical company before he opened his own doors to focus on quality work at fair prices for local homes. The trade centers on service calls and repairs that keep Galveston houses running safely.

Phillip takes on projects such as adding outdoor lights and outlets, hanging ceiling fans, swapping light fixtures, and fixing wall switches. He has upgraded electrical panels in homes built around 1899 and installed windmill fans while recommending generators and walking owners through their operation. Rose joins him on many of these jobs, and the pair stays prompt, flexible with schedules, and willing to work around pets. They troubleshoot surge issues, replace breaker boxes, and bring older wiring up to code for inspections. The crew finishes each task efficiently and leaves the area clean without extra mess.

Homeowners rate the results high because jobs move fast from the first call, the work holds up over time, and bills stay reasonable with no hidden costs. Clear talk from start to finish explains what broke and what fixes it, whether on simple repairs or full panel swaps. Phillip combines his master certification and veteran background with a direct style that suits Galveston conditions like salt air and aging structures. Repeat customers and referrals come from that mix of skill and reliability. DIRT Score 4.3 from 15 reviews on Finds.

“Phillip was very professional about replacing the damaged copper, power wires, from the city into my breaker box. He came quickly, got the permits needed, dug the trench and completed the job as estimated. In addition, he installed two ceiling fans, too. I would highly recommend this TOP electrician for any electrical problems. You will not find a better electrician.”
