Every review PrimeStar Construction has collected on Thumbtack is about electrical work — panels, outlets, wiring, light fixtures — even though the company's name and its listed licence point toward general construction. It works out of Winthrop, and Thumbtack shows it hired 11 times with an unbroken 5.0 across 11 ratings. The written accounts are specific about how the crew works. A customer writing in August 2021 had a laundry list — a pool timer pulled off the panel, light switches swapped — and described a team that arrived when it said it would, worked through the list carefully, left the area cleaner than they found it, and walked through every item at the end to confirm it was right. Two customers writing in September 2021 had all the light fixtures in a house replaced and recessed lighting installed, and both singled out the tidy cleanup. Another, in August 2021, had an outlet problem fixed and a new outdoor outlet added on a patio. Everything written about the company falls in a five-week stretch across August and September 2021, so read those accounts as a picture of that period rather than of today. The profile is still being maintained: Thumbtack records a background check passed by Gustavo Silva in March 2026. On credentials, Thumbtack states the company's licence is verified as a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor. That is the directory's own claim, so ask to see the licence itself. For household electrical work — outlets, switches, fixtures, recessed lighting and panel work — the 2021 accounts are consistent and detailed. Ask what the crew has been working on since then, and confirm the licence and insurance directly before booking.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Primestar Construction Inc.. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Very professional guys. I did not have much idea about my project and they guided me well and did an excellent job. They also cleaned up nicely after the work. Highly recommend these professionals for recessed lighting work.
All of the light fixtures in my house were replaced. The work was professional and done when promised. They left things neat and provided excellent value for the work they did. I highly recommend using them I will call them again anytime I need electrical work done.
Super responsive, highly skilled and efficient team. I had a laundry list of things that needed attention, from removing a pool timer from the panel to swapping out light switches. They showed up when they said that they would, then quickly and carefully went through the list. They left the area cleaner than when they arrived and walked me through everything that was done to be sure that I was satisfied with the result. I would contact them anytime that I have electrical work and would, without hesitation, recommend them to all of my friends and neighbors.
Arrived on time. Finished the works and cleaned up. Recommend to anyone who needs electric work done.
Arrived on time and fixed my outlet issue and placed a new outlet outside at a patio. Definately recommended for your electric wiring issue.
