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.

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.

Mind boggling that these guys are still in business. They did not show with the correct…read morematerial/parts to correctly do the job even though they were at my house 3 times prior. They kept tring to shove an extra wire through conduit that was too small. I asked, "is this going to pass inspection?" I could not believe his reply. "There is a 60% chance that it will." Sure enough it FAILED inspection from the city! The inspector told me the reason they do not allow that size conduit to have multiple wires is that the wires can get damaged when running them through. These are large wires for a 200amp installation. So instead of replacing the wires that could have gotten damaged they just yanked out the wire and used it anyway. Now I have to worry for the rest of my life that my house does not burn down. Home Depot is just right up the street so they could have easily done it right to begin with. They even waited nearly 4 months to contact the city for an inspection. This was Joel Mates the owners son that did the job. Trust me, this guy would NEVER do this shoddy work to his own house. Pass on these shisters, it may save your life!

I would give zero stars if I could.

They arrived right on time and finished the work in a couple of hours. I got the bill a few days later, and it was $706. Plus, they are affiliated with Qualified Electricians PDX. If you sign up at their website (https://www.qualifiedelectricianspdx.org), they will send you a coupon in the mail for $200 worth of electrical work. With the coupon, I paid $506. Also, they are HONEST! since my panel is full, I told them that I would need a subpanel for the outlet. However, they told me that they could replace two breakers in the panel with a quad breaker, making a subpanel unnecessary. They could have just put in a subpanel and charged me a bunch more money - I would never have known the difference. Thanks Dave, Donny and Tavis!!

The comical part is that they complained and argued with me that part of the job was more difficult than they thought it would be, and argued that I asked them to do it because I didn't want to (which was exactly right). After FINALLY getting it right, they were extremely rude, argumentative and unprofessional to my wife and I. There are too many better options out there than to settle for these guys. Odds are these positive reviews are friends of theirs.

Electric Norm had great reviews and seemed to be a local, one-man operation. An eager fellow working hard to run a local business... just the sort of firm I prefer to give my business to. No idea what the history on this operation is but I gather there is no Norm just like there is no Sara Lee or Oil Can Henry. Not a huge deal but... I used the yelp "get a quote" feature which has served me well in the past and sent "Norm" a detailed description of what needed to be done. Basically a simple 15' run of two GFI circuits terminating in a couple of quad receptacle boxes. Probably a couple of hours work at most. Phil, who is apparently the owner responds telling me to call him. Sigh.... if I wanted to call I would have not taken the time to type out such a detailed scope of work message. That and I am hearing disabled and don't have a phone. I inform Phil thusly and am given a list of his requirements to come out which includes providing a mobile phone number to text. I'm wondering what part of "hearing disabled, no phone" went over Phil's head. So minus stars for lack of basic intelligence and reading comprehension skills. And minus more starts for being a "my way or the highway" proprietor who seems to lack basic customer relations. skills. Your experience with this place may well differ from mine. And based on the glowing recommendations here on Yelp it was my expectation that "Norm" would come out, give me a competitive bid and then execute the project quickly and professionally. I wasn't even planning on getting multiple bids assuming the bid I got from "Norm" was in the sane range of a few hunded bucks. So major disappointment there. Extremely rare to be let down by Yelp. Perhaps Phil just has more business than he can handle now and doesn't really need or want mine?
