Stephen Minus
I have used Shining Star twice and both times the service and the work have been just fantastic. Both the owner Sean and Tomas - the man who came and did the actual work - are people of integrity. Tomas is thorough and friendly and expert. I will keep going to them.

Sean is professional and knowledgeable and we have been using him and his associates for years. He always listens to what it is I need to get done and makes suggestions to make my project turn out beautifully. I would absolutely recommend Sean for any electrical needs you may have for inside or outside your house!

EV Charger installation was a breeze thanks to Shining Star! Highly recommend them to anyone with home electrical needs or questions. Sean is extremely reliable and Tomas is a highly capable, intelligent, and friendly electrician. They recently did our house’s electrical panel as well and the work Tomas did was complimented by other electricians who came to give quotes for the charger installation. They do a great job and I will continue to use their services in the future!

Frequently asked questions
-
What does a contractor do?
A contractor handles repair, renovation, construction, and property improvement work. Depending on the project, that may include labor, materials, scheduling, coordination of other trades, and oversight from start to finish.
-
When should I hire a contractor instead of a specialist?
Hire a contractor when the job involves multiple steps, multiple trades, or broader project management. If you only need one narrow task, a specialist may be enough. If the work touches several areas of the home, a contractor is often the better fit.
-
How many estimates should I get?
For most medium or large projects, two or three detailed estimates are a smart range. More than that can create noise unless the scope is clearly defined.
-
Why are contractor quotes so different?
Because scope often differs even when the price sheet looks similar: one quote may include prep, protection, disposal, permits, and finish work, while another leaves those out.
-
Do contractors handle permits?
Some do, some do not, and some only do for certain project types. Always ask before work starts, especially if the job involves plumbing, electrical, structural, or layout changes.
-
What is the biggest mistake homeowners make when hiring?
Choosing based only on price without checking scope, communication, and job fit. The cheapest number can become the most expensive project if expectations are unclear.
-
How do I know if a contractor is a good fit for my project?
Look for experience with similar jobs, clear written estimates, realistic timelines, solid reviews, and direct answers about how they'll manage the work.
-
Should I expect change orders on remodeling work?
Sometimes, yes. Hidden damage, code issues, material changes, or added requests can change the scope. The important part is whether the contractor handles those changes clearly and professionally.
