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 We removed outdated fluorescent lighting, and these were replaced with current LED canned lighting, expanded the circuit board and repaired the drywall hole that the old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.

What this work usually runs.
Charpentier Historic District service area.
From our Lake Charles shop.
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.
Layout and design work in Charpentier Historic District is most common on remodels, additions, and new construction where the homeowner or builder wants the electrical planned out before the framing is closed up. We work from architectural plans, walk the space when there are plans plus existing conditions, and produce a one-line, panel schedule, and device layout sized to NEC 220 load calculations.
For older Charpentier Historic District homes the design conversation usually includes a service capacity discussion. A 1950s 100A panel cannot carry a modern remodel with central AC, induction range, electric dryer, EV charger, and a tankless water heater. We model the loads, recommend the right service amperage (200A is the common answer; 400A on larger homes with multiple EVs), and lay out a panel and sub-panel arrangement that gives the home room to grow.
For commercial we work from prints, raise RFIs where the existing conditions diverge from the drawings, and coordinate with the GC and other trades. Output is a stamped-ready layout (we coordinate with a PE when stamping is required), a bill of materials, and a build schedule.
What we look at for this job
Permits and inspections
The Charpentier Historic District sits inside the City of Lake Charles limits, so electrical permits are issued by the City of Lake Charles Building and Permit Division. Historic exterior work sometimes triggers additional architectural review. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

What Southwest Louisiana says about our work
Real reviews from real customers across Lake Charles, Sulphur, Moss Bluff, and the surrounding parishes.
Hayes Electrical has earned my business in the future. They saved me hundreds of dollars by referring me to Entergy first after hearing what my electrical issues were. They could have made easy money on a service call, and then refer me to Entergy. Instead, they did the right thing and had me contact Entergy first. 5 stars Nice to see a company that didn't take advantage of a customer. ❤️1
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.
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.
Common questions for Electrical Layout and Design in Charpentier Historic District
Do you do electrical design for Charpentier Historic District remodels?
Yes. We work from architectural plans or walk the space, calculate loads per NEC 220, and produce a panel schedule, one-line, and device layout. The output is ready to permit and build from.
How do I know if I need a service upgrade?
A NEC 220 load calculation tells you. We model the loads (HVAC, appliances, EV, future growth) and compare to the existing service capacity. If the math is over the existing service, we recommend an upgrade with the design.
Do you stamp drawings?
For commercial work that requires a PE stamp, we coordinate with a Louisiana professional engineer to stamp the drawings. For most residential designs in Charpentier Historic District, stamping is not required.
