Tommy did such an amazing job on our bathroom transformation! I’m so bad at envisioning projects but Tommy did better than anything I could’ve imagined! Tommy and Julie were always professional, hard working, great communicators, honest, and great people to work with. We are so happy our neighbor recommended them and we definitely plan on using them for future home improvement projects! You won’t be disappointed in choosing Starlight!
Julie, Tommy and their team did an amazing job updating the entire second floor of my home in Niantic. When I purchased the home, the drywall was cracked in several places on the walls and ceiling, paint was cracked and peeling and nothing was straight or level. Additionally one of the bathrooms was essentially unusable. I asked Julie to make it look like a new construction home and she did! She repaired and painted all drywall on the ceilings and walls making everything strait and level. She added all new trim, and replaced all the doors. She also discovered a couple issues with electrical wiring and our AC unit that was not to code and that our bathrooms where not vented, and she communicated clearly, used her contacts to get the issues addressed by other professionals for a fair price and made sure everything was perfect. She was easy to get in touch with throughout, send pictures and videos of updates (since we were not yet living there) and was a true professional throughout. I would highly recommend. You won’t be disappointed.
Working with Starlight was a pleasure. Pricing was inline, or better. Work was done on the schedule we spoke of. Workers showed up prepared and did an exception job. I would highly recommend Starlight for any repairs and painting!!!
Professional and thorough service
Great work, fast and professional. Julie was great to work with.
