I noticed that most the poor reviews in the past have to do with communication so I thought I'd address that first. I reached out to him via the contact form on yelp. He was quick to reply, quick to return my message and was able to book me the next day. I got a message that he might be late by 15 minutes, but he ended up being perfectly on time. He was proactive in all communication with me so that is really appreciated. He was able to quickly diagnose the issue in about 20 minutes. I had a similar issue in the past that another electrician took over an hour to diagnose. After the fix he spent another 15 minutes talking me through a separate issue that I was planning on tackling myself in the future. He was reasonable in his bill. Would call again. read more

Called BSE yesterday about electrical panel and occasional tripping circuit breaker problem. I narrowed the tripping issue to two circuit breakers. I viewed some YT videos on replacing the two circuit breakers, but felt I couldn't replace the breakers myself and felt I needed an electrican for a residential visit. Talked to Ron at BSE and he trouble shot the problem over the phone and got the problem solved, saving me money on a residential visit. I've got a few projects for later in the summer and will be calling on Ron to help out. I really appreciated his immediate help, concern and professionalism. He has earned my future business. read more

We've had Bright Star come and do electrical work for us 2x now and both times they did a great job. On time every time and they worked with our schedule. Love the new lights in my living room which only had a small little lamp to light it, the new recessed lights look beautiful and simple, and make the room that much more inviting. The first time we used Bright Star was the week of Christmas, we have a 50+ year old house and when our Christmas lights (that were not very efficient) blew out some old wiring and caused half our house to go dark and our garage to stop opening. Ronald from Bright Star came out to help, he did not quit till he found the cause of the problem and quickly repaired it. I am very pleased with their customer service and work ethic and overall know-how. They are the only company we will ever use. read more

Bright Star Electric - Our family room with small and effective led recessed lights positioned just where we want them. Thanks Bright Star! - Electricians Near Me

Looking for an electrician, a couple place pop up and click on this and ask for his info called the number and scheduled an appointment tomorrow after 3pm to come out and look at how I wanted a 220v to be hooked up.... today is that tomorrow and around 12ish I texted him saying are you still coming? He said "yeah I'm about an hour away" okay but I said I was gonna be home at 3pm. So I got home at 3pm and texted him when is he coming ETA? No reply lack of communication. He could of said "oh hey could we reschedule or something." was gonna drop $1500-$2000 on this but I guess I'll take my money else where read more

Last week, I received the same treatment as the other 1-star reviewers did. From the beginning, it didn't seem like my request was a priority for Ronald, but people are busy and I wasn't too concerned about having to ping him a couple of times to get a time to meet. It turned out that we both had availability on Friday, so Ronnie's text said "1pm". My reply was "1pm Friday. Ok, see you then." Since confirming an appointment can't be stated any simpler than that, I thought it was a done deal. Friday afternoon, Ron-Ron was a no-show. I sent a text to ask if he was on the way. He replied that he had called the day before to confirm, couldn't reach me and left a voicemail, and we would have to reschedule for the following week. I replied to remind him of my confirmation earlier in the week and to dispute his claim regarding the voicemail. He has not replied since then. No offer to meet at my convenience. No apology for wasting my time. Nothing. So, if my thoughts and experience can help any other yelpers, I'd like to expand on the points of my last text message: 1. The phrase "1pm Friday. Ok, see you then." is a confirmation. If you don't understand that, then don't make appointments via text. (Maybe you shouldn't even be texting, anyone, since maybe you don't read that well, or pay close attention to what your would-be clients are saying, or both.) 2. I can see that Ronny called on Thursday, but I didn't receive a voicemail from him. Regardless, we hadn't yet spoke on the phone...only email and text. Why not try one of those prior proven methods to reach me? Unless he planned to flake out anyway and figured it easier to just walk away without explanation. (I used to end relationships that way...when I was in grade school...but I remember that line of thinking.) Bottom line: Proceed at your own risk. Apparently Ronaldo does good work. Unfortunately, he's just not real big on customer service or common courtesy. read more

Thank you Ron for your service this morning! Ron did a fabulous job with my electrical issues and upon completion was able to point out each issue; furthermore, finished the jobs with great time. I would highly recommend his service read more

My wife and I just had new countertops installed along with a new sink that changed the placing of the garbage disposal system and we found that we were around 6-8 inches short of the tubing needed to get the disposal hooked back up. I contacted Bright Star through Yelp and within 20 minutes received a message from Ronald that he could be out to fix it within a couple of hours along with a very reasonable exact price quote. He was true to his word and came and completed the job within 30 minutes to top quality standard and Ron was a super nice guy too. We are keeping his card and will be using his company for any electrical items in the future. Highly recommended! read more

We highly recommend Bright Star as they are very responsive, knowledgeable and provided outstanding service. Ron was the best electrician we've ever used and have made him our #1 go to guy for all future needs. He went above and beyond on being responsive and fixing our electrical issues, so glad we found him and will use again and again. read more

After contacting this company to schedule an estimate via yelp we connected and settled on a date and time, then the evening before the appointment I got this message; "Tracy I apologize but I won't be able to make tomorrow's appointment. Any chance we can push it in the afternoon to 2 PM? Either that or maybe Friday morning? Sorry for the inconvenience". I replied that I could accomodate either day/time and thanked him. 3 days later with no yelp message, no e-mail, no phone call... Just a missed scheduled appointment... I am very dissatisfied with my experience with this company and absolutely cannot recommend them for anything other than wasting your time. read more

After hunting for a reliable electrical contractor for weeks and encountering a shocking number of people who didn't return phone calls or emails or wouldn't schedule a specific time to come for an estimate, Bright Star was a huge relief. They are communicative via both phone and email, they arrive promptly at times scheduled, and they do tidy work on budget. They replaced our old electrical panel, provided new grounding (the house was previously grounded to the water pipes), fixed some sketchy wiring we uncovered as part of a DIY project, and even rolled with the punches as we asked them to provide some new electrical outlets that weren't in the planned work. We're so pleased that we're having them back for another round of projects shortly. read more

I had contacted a few electricians to complete the wiring on a new bathroom fan....a DIY project that ended up needed some professional assistance. Apparently this is a busy time of year. Two did not return my call and one said he was booked a month out. I called Brightstar and Ron called back the same day. He was willing to add the 45 minutes my job needed to the end of his day - the same day i called. Great personality and efficient, courteous work. I would use Brightstar again anytime. read more

I called Ron for a small project. He said that his schedule was booked for some time. He offered to have one of his "guys" get in touch for a side job. He came out, looked at the job. Texted a couple days later with a quote. We agreed on a date and time for the work to be done. He never showed! No call, no text, nothing! I understand things come up. But I arranged my schedule to be home. And to just blow me off? VERY unprofessional! read more

I called Ron up at Bright Star Electric, he came to my house and hooked up my hot tub. He was very punctual with his arrival. He was very efficient, very honest, reliable, friendly, and he even walked me through the whole installation. He treated me like family! I highly recommend Bright Star Electric. read more

After I called explaining what work I needed done at my house Bright star showed up within 2 hours. It wasn't an emergency but they said they were nearby and had what they needed to fix my issue so they came by, fixed everything in less than 20 minutes, and charged me half of what I was quoted from other electric repairmen. Would def recommend, and will use again if I every have any other issue. read more

Great Service. Prompt. Nice Guy and most importantly fixed an electrical problem that I was having with my central vacuum for months on the very first try. read more

Called and the owner helped us troubleshoot a simple issue by phone and was kind about it too! I was so impressed. Will definitely be using them now to put in some more outlets so we stop tripping the breaker. Thank you! read more

We had an issue with some electrical and called Ronald at Bright Star to fix it. He was curteous, prompt and reasonably priced and was able to fix our problem quickly. I would definately hire him again. read more

Had Rafael come out to do electrical work on my remodel project and his performance was outstanding. He was quick, knowledgeable, clean and got the job done within the agreed time frame. Great work ethic and GREAT Attitude. Highly recommend them for any electrical work. read more

Excellent service. I needed electrical work done for a rental unit. They quoted time and material all in one at a fair price. I wasn't too particular about the quality of hardware they installed and they used really nice stuff. A quiet bath fan and an excellent electric wall heater. They do not accept credit card. read more

Extremely pleased!! We had some minor electrical work that needed to be done, and based on the reviews here, called Ron. He was on time and worked quickly and efficiently and solved all our problems. We're very pleased and will definitely call him again if we need more electrical work done. read more

We called BrightStar electric to come out and check ground wiring that the state plumber inspector said we need. They came out the same day we called!!! Ron was nice, professional and explained everything in terms I understood. He also was patient enough to answer random electrical questions I had about the house. Thanks BrightStar electric read more

Called spoke to Ron. He came out the next day told me a price and was done in 30 mins. Small company great service I will use him again in the future. Thanks again for all your help ROn, my tenant is happy we took care of the problem quickly. read more

We were referred to Ron Mitar with Bright Star Electric Company by our GC R&E Construction. We were extremely pleased with Ron's punctuality, customer service, work ethic and willingness to accommodate our needs to have our home project finished to our satisfaction in a timely manner. We were planning to use Bright Star Electric Company services for some upcoming outside projects however Ron doesn't respond. read more

I called them to work on a property in Wood Village and they said they could work for us at the end of the week. NO CALL, NO SHOW. Called in Dec 2016 regarding another property in Gresham. They said yes but never would schedule with me. Kept telling me next week, sent emails per their request and again they didn't schedule. Both times they said they would but they never committed to scheduling with us just strung me along and wasted my time. I won't be calling them again. Good luck trying to get them to work for you. read more

Highly recommend Bright Star Electric. Had a small wiring issue we just couldn't figure out--suspected a switch or plug in a serial was out interrupting the circuit, but after changing many of them out still no power to that part of the house. Called and spoke with Ron. He did basic troubleshooting over the phone, then told us he would send someone out same day. Called us back to give an eta as soon as he knew when they'd be here. Rafael Showed up on time, worked quickly, efficiently and traced the issue to a loose wire connection on a switch on the first try. Price was very reasonable since he worked so quickly. We will definitely use them for future projects. read more

Called for appt last week to have 2 ceiling lights installed and a ceiling fan. Said he'd be here yesterday. No showed.

Ron responded to my request for an estimate on a light fixture installation within about 10 minutes on a Sunday afternoon and said he could come out to the house the next day. He provided an estimate of $150. The next day he showed up on time (early actually -- a good thing!) and completed the installation in about 10 minutes. He was courteous and charged me less than the estimate because the job was a simple one (for him, ha... not for me!) I'd highly recommend Bright Star to anyone. read more

These guys are great! They are easy to work with and the results are excellent. They are also really quick, which is appreciated.

Bright Star installed a 240v outlet for electric car charging in my garage. They were quick, friendly, and did an excellent job. Thanks.

We recently had Ronald do a small re-wiring job and it was a very positive experience. Ronald was punctual, polite and knowledgeable, and carried out the work in short order. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Ronald to others. read more

This company was very prompt. They said they would be at my house at 7:30 am and were! Rafael was professional and courteous. Once he was finished with the job, he walked me through and explained what he did. I. Feel very confident in referring this business, and will use them again! Thank you Rafael !!!! read more

I found Bright Star, specifically Ronald, through Yelp. I needed a NEMA 14-50 installed for an electric car and Ronald's price was right in line with other quotes. He was very communicative through text even though we had to reschedule. The quality of work was great, clean, and very efficient. I'd highly recommend giving Ronald, and Bright Star, the chance if you need some work done. read more

My rating is based on the simple fact that they have not managed to return a single email that I have sent. They were recommended by a neighbor but having been unable to receive a response from anyone, I can't recommend them. read more

This is my first Yelp review, because of the outstanding service Ron Mitar provided on a Saturday with no advance notice (even more impressive as it was a non urgent problem that could have waited). He was prompt (arrived in under an hour), efficient, very effective and very reasonably priced. I will certainly be calling him again in the future. read more

Ron & his team from Bright Star were fantastic. We had a small fixture installation project as well as a fixture replacement. At first I couldn't get an electrician to call me back. Ron not only called me back but stayed in contact until we could coordinate our schedules. He & his team were quick, clean & reasonably priced. I would definitely use Bright Star again in the future. read more

They did a total service upgrade for us, over $4500 worth of work. A year later we found that two outside plugs were not working, and when we contacted them (Rafi specifically) to have them come look at it, he strung us along for months and then eventually just blew us off altogether and won't return calls. Very unprofessional. We have other electrical work that we need done, but we won't use these guys again. read more

My situation was not technically an emergency, but it was an emergency for me. I had some construction going on and I needed someone to come out within a few days to move some outlets. I called probably 25 electricians and the only ones who were willing to squeeze me in were these guys. They came out and did the job quickly, efficiently, and pleasantly. These guys will definitely come through for you when you're in a bind! read more

Not helpful, would not recommend. Called and asked about a project, gave me a lot of excuses and he didn't seem like it was a priority to him. Very disappointing, trying to work with locals and provide business but I wouldn't recommend by the way I was treated. read more

Ron came out to our house and was very pleasant and easy to talk to. He checked around and made sure everything was in working order and that our electrical work was operating safe and sound. I would highly recommend bright star to any of my friends and family. read more

We had a great experience with Ron in Happy Valley, OR. We'd contacted them via their website after hours and they made it out the next day (Saturday). We had a short circuit that he was able to quickly troubleshoot. He took under an hour to figure things out and we ended up at $150 out the door after the fixes. No complaints. Explained everything and was super prompt. read more
