01 / SERVICE AREA

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.

Outlet and switch relocation in Charpentier Historic District comes up most often during kitchen remodels, after furniture rearrangement in older living rooms, and when a homeowner finally removes the floor-to-ceiling drapes that hid a 1955-era outlet behind a piece of furniture for decades.

Relocation work starts with confirming the existing circuit can host the device at the new location (no overloading, no excessive run length per NEC 220 voltage drop), then planning the route. In a Charpentier Historic District home with plaster walls, we cut minimal openings using old-work boxes (typically 18 cubic inches single-gang) and fish NM-B through the wall cavity. The old box location is closed with a blank cover and listed splice if conductors must remain, or the wire is pulled back to the source and abandoned cleanly.

The Lake Charles AHJ does not require a permit for relocation of a single existing device on the same circuit. Multiple-device or new-circuit work is permitted and we file it.

02 / WHAT WE LOOK AT

What we look at for this job

01
Minimal wall openings
Old-work boxes and fish-tape route to preserve plaster.
02
Circuit and load verification
NEC 220 voltage drop and load check before commit.
03
Clean abandonment
Old box covered with blank or wire pulled back to source.
04
Patch-ready openings
Cuts sized for standard drywall patches; minimal trim work after.
05
Device match
New location gets a device matched to the home era and circuit.
  Permits

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.

  Warranty

What's covered

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.

03 / WHO TO HIRE

Why hiring a licensed electrician matters.

Here is the no-spin cut on outlet and switch relocation. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.

Hayes Electrical

A licensed electrician

LA-licensed master electrician walks every call. Family-owned, owner-led, based in Lake Charles.
Permits pulled under LA Lic #73821 and inspections coordinated with the Calcasieu, Jeff Davis, Allen, or Cameron Parish AHJ when the work calls for it.
Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee in writing. If our work fails, we come back and fix it. Stays with the home.
Insured and carrying workers' comp on every truck that rolls.
Quote on paper before we cut the first wire. The signed number is the number you pay.
A handyman

Unlicensed for electrical

No LA state electrical license. Can swap a fixture, cannot legally touch a panel, a service entrance, or a rewire.
No permits. When the parish or city audits the work later, it does not pass.
No real warranty. "Call me if it breaks" falls apart the day you actually need it.
If unlicensed work starts a fire, your homeowner policy can flat-out deny the claim.
Cash discount sometimes shows up on the invoice. So does the next problem.
DIY

Doing it yourself

Cheap right up until something goes sideways. Most jobs need a load calc, NEC compliance, and a permit.
A failed inspection sends you back to redo it. Selling the house later, the buyer's inspector flags it the same way.
No warranty. The replacement is on you.
Hot wiring is no joke. Most fatal home electrical accidents in this country are DIY.
If you genuinely know what you are doing, fine. If you do not, call us first.

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!

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.

Common questions for Outlet and Switch Relocation in Charpentier Historic District

Can you move an outlet in my Charpentier Historic District kitchen without cutting up the wall?

We cut only what the box requires (about three by four inches). Old-work boxes and fish-tape routing let us keep the wall mostly intact.

What do you do with the old hole when you move a switch in my Charpentier Historic District home?

If conductors remain (typical for a switch leg), we install a blank cover on the existing box. If the wire is being pulled back entirely, we patch the opening flush.

Will you match the new outlet to my old Charpentier Historic District ivory toggle plates?

Yes. We stock ivory, white, and almond decora and traditional devices and plates, and we will use the style that matches what you already have.
