Today, under second-generation family leadership, we combine professional agility with a team-oriented culture to deliver exceptional results. Our self-performance of over 90% of projects ensures unmatched control over safety, quality, and timelines, supported by a workforce of licensed electricians, engineers, and safety specialists.With operations in multiple states and hundreds of municipalities, we provide turnkey solutions for electrical systems ranging from power generation to EV infrastructure. Recognized for excellence, we received the 2023 AGC National NASA Safety Award and rank among ENR Magazines Top 600 Specialty Contractors. Our wholly owned subsidiary, Theka Engineering, offers comprehensive design and consulting services, enabling end-to-end project delivery. Client testimonials highlight our customer-centric approach, technical expertise, and ability to exceed expectations even under challenging conditions. This legacy of trust, innovation, and execution defines Newkirk Electrics enduring success.
