Laxton Electric

Laxton Electric works as an electrician based in Longview, Texas. Homeowners and businesses here face frequent storms that down power lines and tear up meter boxes along with the steady demand for wiring in older houses and new builds. The local climate brings high heat that strains electrical panels and occasional high winds that pull service drops off roofs. Electricians in this area spend plenty of time on emergency repairs after weather hits plus routine upgrades to handle modern loads like air conditioning units and shop equipment. Laxton Electric steps into those jobs around town without extra layers of office talk.

They show up for storm damage calls such as a tree ripping the meter box clean off a house then install a replacement and line up the city inspection so the power can come back on. Crews also handle overnight service line pulls where a fallen limb drags wires down and get the connection restored the same day. On commercial bids and remodel projects though some customers report incomplete work like lights left without switches open junction boxes and wires left hot in attics that create fire risks. The company charges for materials on certain jobs and moves to finish what the bid covered but results vary by the type of project.

Reviewers point to fast arrival times within an hour on emergency service drops and fair rates when the fix stays simple and weather related. Communication holds steady on those quick repairs with clear steps about permits and inspections. Other feedback highlights shortfalls in quality on larger commercial and construction work where follow through on wiring details fell short. The pattern of strong emergency response mixed with issues on bigger jobs produces the overall mark. DIRT Score 3.65 from 17 reviews on Finds.

“Hired them to do a commercial job a couoke years ago. They didnt do what they gave a bid for and then tried to charge more. On tip of that they did not pay for any of their material. I had to pay 50k for their material on top of the 75% of what they completed on the job. The materials they charged some were not even used on my job. Basically stole 50k free and clear.”

“DO NOT use them for new construction or remodels! Their work is completely unprofessional. I had lights wired with no switches. Multiple fire hazards. Wires in the attic that were hot, laying on top of the ceiling in the attic. Open junction boxes everywhere. None of my 3 way lights work after 2 attempts to fix them, and the worker got smart with me and told me it was the switches.(They have tried 2 different switches) Electrical plans were half-way followed. I have breakers not labeled. Dirty hand prints all over my ceiling and walls. Honestly i could go on and on. They said the work was complete while all of this was going on. 😡 I'm only posting 4 pictures, but there are many more. These were taken after we moved into our house. The "electricians" Mr. Laxton's employees take 0 pride in their work.”

“Had a tree rip meter box off our house. Laxton Electric came out installed new box and called the city for inspection. They handled the situation very professional. I had no idea I would need an inspection or a permit for repairs. I recommend for any electrical work”

“Our service got pulled off the house in the middle of the night by a tree over falling across a wire. Called these folks first thing the next morning. They were there within an hour and had me fixed up in no time. Very reasonable rates too. Highly recommend them.”

“Mark (Electrician) & Blake (Apprentice) showed up to my place right on projected time. Mark ask me what happened. I told him I tried to play electrician and my wife made call them (lol). They were professional, kind, and effecient. He had my problem solved in a matter of minutes. He connected up the wires correctly and everything worked like it was supposed to. I would recommend Mark & Blake to anyone needing electrical services.”
