Had damage to my meter base, mast, and weather head after a tree fell and ripped down the power line. Power company couldn't restore service until that stuff was fixed. Called Newkirk and late on a Saturday night they had 2 guys out here in about an hour, got everything repaired and cleaned up in less than 2 hours so the power company could restore our service. Couldn't recommend them more!

My experience with Newkirk is not a pleasant one. They were working in the southwest Michigan area along U.S. 131. They destroyed the property although saying they would leave the property the way they found it. Yeah right. Their cleanup crew is a complete joke. They "leveled" out an area their equipment tore up and layed down grass seed erosion barrier. We had to pull up what they layer down to finish grading the ground.
Big mounds of dirt combined with pieces of 4x4 remained. Also some areas they did not even use any grass seed. Same property still has chain link fence that was never replaced along with old fence posts scattered throughout property. Debries remains everywhere. Terrible cleanup by them and because of that I am still picking things up after them. If you have a choice do not do business with these clowns.

Called Newkirk to have a temporary service installed from a fire we had. Service guys showed up in a few day and got to work installing power to panel. Inspector arrived and approved work, Consumers arrive and check work and approved. Service guy indicated Newkirk is numer one with them. Completed the work and the building contractors were greatful for their scheduling promptness.

Employees are very unprofessional and make hurtful/racist remarks to African-American co-workers. All day long I heard the "n word" used toward one guy specifically, but joking or not he did not seem to enjoy it. And I do not appreciate any treatment of that sort on/near my property and especially not around my family. It's unbelievable that a decent size company such as Newkirk would send these kinds of people to a job. I understand that everyone has an opinion and I respect that, but your opinion is yours. No need to be publicly degrade someone like that. No matter joke or not.

We want to thank Nick Soapchinski and his crew from Newkirk Electric for saving us on sw 69th ave in Miami/ South Miami after Hurricane Irma. Thank you Newkirk for sending such kind and hardworking men down to help out South Florida. Nick's word is his bond as he went out of his way to solve a hard to do job to get the the last 2 house powered up. Newkirk should be proud of their men as they were well represented!
