Smith & Keene History in Hampton Roads
In 1947, two electricians at Newport News Shipyard decided to put their skills and knowledge of electrical wiring to work. They started Smith & Keene Electric Service, Inc. in Archie Smith’s garage in Newport News, building their business on the principles of quick service, quality workmanship, and superior equipment. Today, their second and third-generation family members are still running this business on these same principles, and we’ve become a household name in Hampton Roads because of our commitment to them.
