Read them on GoogleJosh from Starlight Electric was fantastic! He helped with all the electrical work for the three-season porch and deck that my wife and I just added to our home.Alex W. · Google, October 2025 · excerpt
Josh was great. He replaced my old panel with a new one and upgraded my service to 200 amp. He did what needed to be done, didn't upsell me, and was very reasonably priced. I highly recommend Starlight electric!Taylor K. · Google, June 2025
Josh did an amazing job for us! We were having issues and were concerned about our meter box connections to the house. He came out same day and was thorough and careful in his diagnostics. He worked hard to get the problem taken care of quickly, including confirming with the electrical inspector our options for repair to save us money where it was safe to do so. Zero pressure or up charging, just ethical advice and great work.Michelle W. · Google, July 2024 · excerpt
He also was willing to come over last minute on a Sunday to fix something we were having trouble with and was able to resolve it within a matter of minutes. Thank you Josh!Elizabeth W. · Google, October 2025 · excerpt
Josh was great! He recently did all of the electrical work for our basement that we finished. Josh took the time to walk through and listen to our needs and wants for outlets/ lighting and did an awesome job from start to finish. He is also very easy to get ahold of with any questions.Travis E. · Google, February 2024
Josh took care of our electrical needs. He was punctual and efficient every step of the way. He provided an estimate the day after I requested one. He made a next day appointment work to complete my 3 projects without hesitation.Christine S. · Google, February 2026 · excerpt
Prompt and polite service! Josh responded quickly and showed up within a couple days to complete the job. He took his shoes off, laid a tarp down when completing work, and left no mess. Reasonably priced with great results!Kayla J. · Google, February 2024
