CALCASIEU RIVER
Calcasieu River service from Hayes Electrical. Same-day response on most calls. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles lighting installation for homes and businesses in Calcasieu River, and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, insured, with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every job.
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.
Lighting work in Calcasieu River covers the full residential scope plus the waterfront-specific categories: dock lighting on long pier runs, fish-cleaning station lighting, pier-end navigation and accent lighting, exterior security lighting around boat houses and shop buildings, landscape lighting along access drives, and the standard interior fixtures inside the home itself.
For exterior lighting on coastal properties we use wet-location rated fixtures with corrosion-resistant finishes, stainless mounting hardware, and gasketed connections. Dock and pier lighting follows NEC 555 for any fixture below the deck or near the water. Pool and spa lighting follows NEC 680 (wet-niche and no-niche) with bonding and GFCI as required. Recessed lighting in the conditioned space uses IC-rated, airtight fixtures per NEC 410 in insulated ceilings, matched dimmer and driver, and verified box loading.
We walk the layout with the homeowner before we order materials so the final look on a long dock or a wide back yard matches what you wanted, not what the catalog photo implied. Most Calcasieu River lighting jobs are scheduled on continuous days because of the drive, and we stage materials in one trip when we can.
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 lighting installation. 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.

Hayes Electrical, LLC treat you like family. When I called I had an immediate need and they made me a priority. They were very friendly and professional and communicated well. There was no guessing. Their office staff and the person who answers the phone was on top of it! If you're looking for great professional service then you need to call Hayes Electrical.
They added my 50amp generator receptacle box outside my house, they also added an interlock and the generator breaker. I also had them add a 2nd 50amp receptacle, just below my panel, for a future vehicle lift and had them drop a CAT6 behind my tv, so I can play Xbox online without lagging. I would hire them again without thinking twice. They're extremely professional and reasonably priced.
Hayden and Mackenize did an outstanding job. Gave my wife and I step by step instructions on how to operate the generator as well as went over labeling of our breaker box. Guys were very knowledgeable and patience when we ask questions. I highly recommend Hayes Electrical for any electrical work..
A group of men and woman that are talented and focused. All licensed. Their customer service is excellent. They were able to upgrade my electrical system for a house built in the 1970s. We removed outdated fluorescent lighting, and these were replaced with current LED canned lighting, expanded the circuit board and repaired the drywall hole that the old fluorescence left in the ceiling. When we asked for options, they gave us multiple options from which we discussed pros and cons of each. Lastly, they are honest, trustworthy, and reliable.
Yes. Dock lighting uses wet-location rated fixtures with corrosion-resistant finishes and stainless mounting hardware. We size the feeder for the load, run the wiring per NEC 555, and place fixtures so the path is lit without glare across the water.
Marine-grade aluminum, powder-coated steel, brass, or 316 stainless finishes hold up best. Cheap painted finishes blister and rust within a season or two on direct coastal exposure. We spec for the location rather than the catalog.
Only if it is rated for the weight. NEC 314 requires fixtures over 50 pounds to be supported independently. We verify the box rating and add a brace bar or independent support where the existing box will not carry the load.
