CHARPENTIER HISTORIC DISTRICT
Charpentier Historic District service from Hayes Electrical. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles outdoor lighting installation for homes and businesses in Charpentier Historic District 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.
Outdoor lighting installation in Charpentier Historic District ranges from a single dusk-to-dawn garage light to full landscape lighting on a historic-district lot. Older homes often have one exterior receptacle and no dedicated outdoor circuit, so we plan the routing carefully through soffits, foundation plates, and existing conduit paths.
For permanently installed fixtures we use NEC 410.10 wet-rated or damp-rated housings, depending on whether the fixture is exposed to direct rain. Branch wiring exits the wall in liquid-tight flexible conduit (LFNC) where it meets the fixture, with listed wet-location boxes (Bell or Carlon equivalents) at every connection. Low-voltage landscape runs use direct-burial 12 AWG or 10 AWG cable with a Class 2 transformer rated to feed the total wattage with 15% headroom.
Exterior receptacle installation requires NEC 210.8(A)(3) GFCI protection and NEC 406.9 in-use weatherproof covers. The Lake Charles AHJ requires a permit for new exterior circuits, and we file it.
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.
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 outdoor 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.

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.
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.

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!!

Yes. We typically install a low-voltage landscape system fed by a transformer at an exterior GFCI receptacle. Cable is direct-buried at the depth required for the gauge.
Yes. NEC 210.8 requires GFCI protection on outdoor receptacles, and NEC 406.9 requires an in-use weatherproof cover so the GFCI stays sealed when a cord is plugged in.
A wet-rated listed fixture and proper LFNC transition will. We tell you on site whether a particular fixture is rated for the location and what your alternatives are if it is not.
