CALCASIEU RIVER
Calcasieu River service from Hayes Electrical. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles home electrical rewiring for homes and businesses in Calcasieu River and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, and backed by our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee.
Trucks dispatch out of 803 W Bayou Pines Dr, Ste D, Lake Charles, LA 70601. Most days a crew is already inside Calcasieu Parish on another job, so the drive is short. For after-hours calls we roll one out from the shop.
Whole-home rewiring in Calcasieu River is usually scoped for camps built in the 1960s and 1970s still running first-generation NM or two-wire ungrounded circuits, where decades of salt air have degraded jacket insulation and bare-copper terminations. Second-home insurers along the Grand Lake corridor are increasingly tightening coverage on these systems.
We rewire with modern NM-B (14/2 and 12/2 for general circuits, 10/3 and 6/3 for larger loads), drop new home-runs from a replaced 200A panel mounted at or above Base Flood Elevation, and add NEC 210.12 AFCI and NEC 210.8 GFCI protection where the current code requires. Old wiring is removed where accessible (attic, crawl, accessible wall cavities); inaccessible runs are de-energized and abandoned in place per NEC. Boxes are upgraded to deep-set listed boxes that meet NEC 314 fill for modern devices, and all outdoor or boathouse boxes go to NEMA 4X with 316 stainless hardware.
A whole-home rewire is a permitted job at Cameron Parish. We file the permit at the Grand Lake area office, schedule the rough inspection before drywall, and the finish inspection after trim. We coordinate with the homeowner (often by phone for seasonal owners) on which areas stay powered each day.
Calcasieu River area addresses inside the City of Lake Charles limits get electrical permits from the City of Lake Charles Building and Permit Division. We confirm jurisdiction at the address and pull the appropriate permit. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.
Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every install. If our work fails because of how we put it in, we come back and fix it at no charge. Documented in writing at handoff and stays with the home.
Here is the no-spin cut on home electrical rewiring. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.
Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.

Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.
We turned to the company for help to find out the reason why our generator stopped working, fix the problem and start it. We were served by Dorian, a very nice young man, a good specialist and a professional in his field. Everything went well, Dorian did diagnostics, invited a mechanic and our generator works. We recommend this company if you have problems with the generator.
Great price Brent was very helpful and professional and was able to provide a variety of repair options to choose from. Bailey and Mackenzie were able to complete the repairs promptly and efficiently. Overall, we are very satisfied with the services provided!
Found Hayes Electrical LLC on Angi's List last September to install a home generator. From the initial phone call and every phone call in between these folks are the best. They handled everything. So kind, helpful and just awesome people. Their workers are very professional, knows their job, all wore work uniforms. We may have had a hiccup once (not their fault) didn't matter they were on top of it thru the entire install. It literally was the easiest install of anything in my house ever!! If I ever need anything I will call Hayes Electrical and no one else. I can't say enough good about these folks. And they are easy to get attached to... their good people🙏 I have to thank Dorian and McKenzie you guys are great!!
Hayes Electrical is the most professional and friendly electrical service in the Lake Charles area! After we were having issues with our Generac and wanted to be prepared for the hurricane season, Hayes Electrical was quick to diagnose and repair the issue! Mr. Dorian was very polite and knowledgeable! When he came out to make the repair he kept us in the loop about exactly what he was doing and made sure we understood how to operate the Generac! Would definitely recommend Hayes Electrical to everyone!
Most homes that size finish in two to three weeks, with the home livable throughout. Drive time from the shop adds about an hour a day vs. an in-town job, so we plan the schedule around that.
No. We coordinate daily by photo and text. A caretaker or neighbor can let us in, and we send a written end-of-day status so an absent owner sees the progress.
Most homeowner policies do not cover the rewire itself, but many second-home carriers offer significant premium reductions once the old jacket is gone, AFCI breakers are in, and the panel is elevated above BFE.
