Star Lighting & Electrical

JoAnne L.

Tim, Aaron, and other members of the team are experienced, reliable, creative and extremely hard working. They upgraded my electrical panel at the demand of Tesla for my solar roof. The upgrade was immensely complicated given the location of my existing panel over the gas main and no room around it. They liaised with PG&E, Alameda County and Tesla to determine the required new location that was within code and worked with the Tesla equipment. After numerous calls, photos, and visits, Tim was able to coordinate all parties to an agreement and then do the work to move the panel, add a roof riser, and get both PG&E and the county to sign off. In the meantime, I had Tim and team replace all of my outdated wiring, outlets and switches (my house is 1948), as well as move my inbound internet connection to the other side of my house. They also hardwired all of my rooms to improve on the poor internal wifi due to plaster walls, in addition to upgrading all my canned lighting. They completed all work within very reasonable estimates and in a timely fashion. They always communicated when to expect them, they were on time, friendly and helpful. I always felt like I could rely on them and trust them, for their work and being in my home. I have a big job in the backyard next and am delighted to have Tim, Aaron and team on my team for that job. Having service providers you can trust and that you can turn to for expert advice as well as assistance when anything unexpected turns up is invaluable. I highly recommend them for any electrical job.

I've been remiss in not writing a review for Star Lighting. I've been working with Tim & his team for at least 10 years. Great work, nice team & respectful of one's home.

First off, this business is not in San Carlos - it's in Hayward. I asked for 2 ceiling fans to be installed. Tim sent one of his workers to do the job and overcharged, which I thought was ok as long as the work was professional and clean. Unfortunately it was not. The guy left with the fans wobbling. There were also little pieces of electrical wire on my floor. He eventually came back and fixed one of the fans and apologized for leaving them the way he did, but the 2nd one he gave up on. When taking down that fan, I found one of the screws that held the mouting bracket to the light box was very loose, which was causing the wobble. What an ameteur !

I communicated with Tim and he was unapologetic and unresponsive. He apparently thinks very highly of himself but his service isn't professional quality and you would be better off hiring a handyman. Tim charges a $150 ""trip charge"" just to show up and thereafter his rates get fuzzy, depending on who you talk to at his company. All in all, I hope to never enounter such a poor service company again!

Tim and his team have done consistently great work for us multiple times on our house. Each time, his pricing really clear and reasonable.

When we bought our home, we knew we were going to remodel the kitchen and bathrooms and upgrade portions of the electrical system. Our real estate agent referred Tim, saying he was her go to guy for all things electrical. She was right, he's been great to work with.

I'm glad to see that everyone else's had such great experiences however I am not one of those people.
Tim came to my house to do a small job. At that time he insisted that the bill for previous job was not paid. I was pretty sure that bill has been paid. He insisted it had not. So based on his word I give him another check with the agreement that he would refund me immediately if he found that the bill had been paid.
He did find the bill had been paid however he did not refund me and still has not refunded the double payment.
Clearly in my book this guy are not ethical or honest.

I've used Tim and Star Lighting for my home projects for many years. No jobs seems to be too big or too small for them, and they always treat our home as if it was their own. They often find ways to save us money and improve our electrical efficiency. They are competent, reliable, trustworthy and really nice people!

I cover the maintenance for a large Retirement Community in the area and I've needed assistance with Electrical work several times over the past year or so. I found out about Tim, Star Lighting & Electrical, via ""word of mouth"" and very quickly realized that this was a great connection for me.
I've used Tim many times since we first met, both small jobs and rather large ones, and he and his crew have done an outstanding job of solving my problems.
Also, worth mentioning, is the fact that both he and his son are very polite, very helpful and very easy to work with and just as important is the fact that they are honest and very fair on the billing of their work.

I highly recommend Tim and his crew.

Tim and his team were amazing. Our project was very complex and the crew did an outstanding job. We have an older home with curved ceilings and were concerned about how recessed lighting would impact the style of out home. Tim provided guidance, insight and options. He spent time with is and gave us opportunities to review options before we had to make decisions. They were great!

We have used Tim for many projects around our house. Tim has always been responsive, professional and fair. He brings solutions instead of problems and is always a pleasure to have working around my house. I recommend him and his team highly.

On time, flexible, very willing to please and I have been very particular with regard to the details in my bathroom remodel.

They provided great advise which prevented having to replace my service for a couple of grand.

They are very safety conscious.

And very nice people!!
