Lyons Electric We like the satisfaction of a job well done, and we love solving problems for our customers. Like the downtown real estate business that needed to modernize a fine old home, or the homeowner who chopped out 18 of his telephone cable that was buried in the garden. On Sunday. We're here to help. Just call us.

In Austin, working with the inspectors is part of the business: it pays to have a professional doing your electrical work. We've got the tools and the experience to do the job right, the first time-and we stand behind every project, whether commercial or residential. In Austin, Texas, you want an electrical contractor who knows the way things are wired downtown (sorry!).

Hired Steve to run electricity to the back of my house. Professional and prompt. He was also very flexible when my schedule was challenging. I would highly recommend. Service: Installation

Couldn't be happier. Great guy. Great work. Mr. Lyons has done 3 or 4 projects on my home in North Austin. He's a great problem solver, does great work and is always very (almost too) punctual.

I arranged with Steve to install an outdoor security camera requiring an electrical outlet. He gave me a very reasonable estimate and we set a date and time for the install. Unexpectedly, he had an open spot in his schedule and thought to call me to see if I wanted him to do the install. This was great for my schedule. He was very professional and didn't mind me watching and asking questions as I love to learn from experts. The install went without any issues and I now have the security camera I have wanted for a long time. You can't go wrong calling on Lyons Electric.

We just purchased a new home and had some lightening fixtures that needed to be installed and relocated. Steve Lyon of Lyon's Electric is just top notch. Very professional, honest, on-time, always listens and offers suggestions/ideas based on his experience on what you want to do. While looking for a home, we also used Lyons Electric to look over a couple of home inspections to confirm the inspector's findings. Lyons Electric is very trustworthy and highly recommended.

I used this guy four years ago to do some work in my house. After the initial work he did, he charged me an extra $350 to get my boxes up to code because he did not do them up to code the first time as he was "unaware" of Round Rock's new codes at the time. Now, four years later, we are having multiple issues and he refuses to return our phone calls.

This guy is a con man who doesn't stand by his work. UPDATE: We had another electrician come out and fix the problem- Lyons Electric did not properly connect the ground wire, and it has been like that for 4 years. Take your money elsewhere!

We called Steve in a pinch just before the weekend when a DIY ceiling fan installation got complicated quickly. It was not an emergency. He was able to come first thing Monday morning and was not only on time but ten minutes early! He was so professional and nice. He not only fixed the problem but took time to explain the workings of 3-way switches. He is also very reasonably priced. I would call again or refer in a heartbeat. Thank you Steve!

I met with Steve yesterday at the house that I am under contract for and he was AMAZING! He gave me his honest advice about what he felt was wrong with the house and was super easy to talk to (why are a lot of electricians so stiff?). He is coming out to my parent's house this Monday and I am excited to get venting out of attic and outside. Looking forward to continue to work with you!

We have used Lyons Electric for years and plan to continue to use him as long as we live in Austin. He is professional and competent.

I had some lighting problems in several areas of our home. The garage has always been too dark and I had some old fluorescent lights in my upstairs bath that barely worked. I called Lyons Electric and asked Steve to help. After looking at the issues, Steve had a great idea that had not occurred to me. He suggested that we install some recessed lighting in the bathrooms and then use the existing fluorescents in the garage after replacing the ballasts. It worked great! The garage is SO much brighter and I didn't have to buy new lights! And the bath lighting is beautiful. I couldn't be happier with the work!

Steven did all of the electrical work for us for a kitchen remodel. He was always on time and did a clean and fast job wiring and installing the light fixtures. He took the time to answer all my questions and provided great feedback. All the lighting looks great. Would definitely recommend and hire him again for future projects.

We've hired Steven for two jobs so far. The first one was a smaller task when he updated our wiring for our new electric stove. We were pleased with his pricing (his estimate compared to what we actually paid was spot on), he was friendly, and he had a reasonable lead time. When we decided to add recessed lighting to our vaulted ceiling living/dining room, we gave him a call for an estimate.

He came out for a quick visit because he said that he wanted to give us an accurate estimate, and the price was right so we hired him for the job. He told us that he does not repair drywall and not knowing anything about what it takes to install recessed lights into an existing ceiling, I was expecting holes everywhere. Steven installed six pot lights and there was only one small area where we needed to patch the drywall, and that was only because he removed an existing junction box and installed a can a few inches over so that all of the lights lined up with each other perfectly.

I was very pleased with his work and how clean it was since there was so little that we had to patch, and the price was actually less than his estimate. We are going to have at least one more electrical project to tackle, and we won't think about hiring someone other than Steven. Please note, we've had him out to our house three times, and he was early every single time. As someone who has a pet peeve for tardiness.that's a huge plus in my book. Highly recommended.

Steve is an absolute professional. He did under cabinet lighting in our kitchen remodel, and then while he was here installed new smoke detectors throughout the house. Steve helped us pick out good brands of products, then let us pick them up to save a little money. He does good work, is careful about cleaning up after himself, and took great care to protect our floor and new counters. His price was very fair.exactly what he quoted for the work.

Steve and his assistant have done great work both times they have worked for us: replacing all of our switches and outlets to deal with aluminum wiring, and fixing some weird wiring with our AC system. He takes plenty of time to answer questions on the phone and in person, and is very professional and friendly. We will definitely call him next time we need help.

Steve Lyon has helped my family out more than a few times and I can't recommend him enough. He is as fair and professional as he could be.

Steve is a master electrician who is actually an instructor for other electricians. He's done work for us for years, installing a 12V system of exterior lighting that goes on and off automatically, adding a cable outlet, installing ceiling fans, even coming over on a Sunday afternoon to fix our phone cable when I chopped a foot out of it. He also cabled my offices for the computer network.

Great service, very helpful, and at a reasonable cost. He stays pretty busy, but I think he's one of the few electrical contractors who likes these small jobs. Really, I think he likes helping people.
