Thank You Hampton Roads For 75 Years

Thank you, Hampton Roads, for allowing us to serve you for over 75 years! Smith & Keene is a family-owned and operated business that has served the Hampton Roads region since 1947. Our owners are second and third generations of our founders. We count it a tribute to our founders that after more than seven decades we continue to operate under the same principles.  Do good work, at a good price, be fair, and have people trust you.

3 Generations Strong

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. They built the business on offering quick service, quality workmanship, and superior equipment.

Over the years Smith & Keene expanded services to now include electrical, heating and cooling, plumbing, and home standby generators. Today, second and third-generation family members continue running Smith & Keene, becoming a household name in Hampton Roads because of our commitment to providing electrical, heating and cooling, plumbing, and home standby generator services by a team you can trust.
