Southern California
Electrical Contractor for New Homes
Panel and subpanel work, lighting circuits, outlets and switches, EV charger power, and outdoor kitchen and backyard wiring, planned and installed as part of finishing your new home. One licensed contractor coordinates the electrical with the rest of the build so power is where you need it, sized right, and inspection ready.

Power is part of finishing the house, not an afterthought
Your builder wired the house to sell it. The panel is sized for the base plan, the backyard has one weatherproof outlet, and there is no circuit waiting for a car charger, an outdoor kitchen, a pool pad, or the lighting you actually want. Everything past that base build, more circuits, a subpanel, dedicated power for equipment, and wiring run out to the yard, is left for you once you have the keys.
Trying to add that power piecemeal after the fact usually means opening finished walls, trenching across a new patio, and coordinating an electrical crew against whatever else is happening in the yard. It is slower, more disruptive, and more expensive than planning the electrical into the project from the start.
One contractor plans the power with the build
Five Stars Builders scopes the electrical alongside the hardscape, outdoor living, and general construction work so circuits, conduit, and panel capacity are set before slabs are poured and walls are closed. We size the panel or add a subpanel for the load you are actually adding, run lighting and outlet circuits, wire outdoor kitchens and backyard living areas, set EV charger power, and troubleshoot existing circuits that are not working the way they should. Because one team is accountable for the whole scope, the electrical is coordinated with everything else on site instead of bolted on after.
Why choose us
Power planned into the build, sized for what you are adding.
Electrical is the part of a project that is easiest to underbuild and hardest to fix later. Here is how we handle it as part of the whole job.
CSLB License #1103138. Verifiable through the Contractors State License Board (CSLB) before you sign anything.
Circuits, conduit, and panel capacity are planned before slabs are poured and walls are closed, so power is in place without opening finished work later.
We size panels, subpanels, and dedicated circuits for what you are actually adding, EV charging, outdoor kitchens, pool equipment, and lighting, not just the base plan.
The electrical is managed alongside the hardscape, outdoor living, and general construction under one contract, so nothing falls between separate crews.
What's included
- Panel and subpanel work: adding capacity or a dedicated subpanel for backyard and outdoor loads
- Lighting circuits: interior, exterior, patio, landscape, and step and path lighting
- Outlets and switches: added interior receptacles, weatherproof exterior outlets, and switch changes
- EV charger circuits: dedicated power run and provisioned for a home or garage charger
- Backyard and outdoor-kitchen power: circuits for appliances, grills, refrigeration, and cooking areas
- Power for outdoor living and equipment: pergolas, fire features, and pool and spa equipment pads
- Troubleshooting: tracing and correcting circuits, outlets, and connections that are not working right
Our process
We start with a walkthrough to see the existing panel, note what is already wired, and talk through what you want to add now and later. From there we scope the electrical as part of the overall project, size the panel or subpanel for the load, and plan circuit and conduit runs so they go in at the right stage of the build. We install the wiring, set outlets, switches, lighting, and EV or equipment circuits, and leave the work ready for inspection. We finish with a walkthrough so you know what was run, where it is, and what capacity is left for the future.
