Our History

Kirkwood Electric's company roots date back 4 consecutive generations, from the northeast to the south.  Before the turn of the century, in 1895,  Harry R. Kirkwood, the great grandfather of Wayne R. Kirkwood, started Kirkwood Electric in Pittsburgh, PA.  Harry's work was carried on by Ralph C. Kirkwood, Wayne's grandfather and then by Wayne's father, Ralph H. Kirkwood. In 1976 Kirkwood Electric was established in Florida by Wayne R. Kirkwood and his father, Ralph H. Kirkwood  while Wayne was still in college.

After receiving his degree, Wayne joined his father full-time and ran the company for over 40 years.  After Wayne's retirement in 2020 the company was acquired by Scott and Kellie Bostrom.  Scott and Kellie are now carrying on the tradition of quality that began over 125 years ago.  As one of SW Florida’s largest and most respected electrical contracting firms, Kirkwood Electric has a well established reputation for honesty, quality and superior service.
