Mackenzie and Hayden completed my job effectively and efficiently. They are very professional, polite and well mannered. Both were able to check on making sure the job was done correctly, while also making sure other things were working properly as well. I highly recommend this company and workers. Thanks Darius Clayton for your recommendation.

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.
Electrical service in Grand Lake, LA
Grand Lake is southern Cameron Parish at the south end of Calcasieu Lake. The drive from our Lake Charles shop runs forty to fifty minutes depending on the address. The area is rural and waterfront, with a heavy concentration of camp houses, fishing properties, and year-round homes that all share the same coastal-flood reality. Cameron Parish handles its own permits.
What we work on in Grand Lake
Coastal-flood elevation is the differentiator. Most Grand Lake homes are built on pilings or stilts well above the BFE (base flood elevation), and the electrical infrastructure is designed accordingly. Services come up the piling to a meter at habitable level, with a separate disconnect at the piling base. Conductors and grounding electrode systems are sized for the elevated condition.
Dock, boathouse, and waterfront electrical is a steady call. NEC 555 governs the work: ground-fault protection on dock receptacles, equipotential bonding around the dock structure, marine-rated wire and conduit, real disconnects at the dock end. The failure mode here is electric shock drowning, a real and genuinely deadly risk, and we do not cut corners on the install.
Generator installs are heavy. The area loses power often in storms and standby systems are common, especially for full-time residences and lift stations. Most installs are Generac air-cooled units in the 22-26kW range, with NFPA 37 clearance requirements that get extra attention because of the elevated and waterfront conditions.
Salt-fog corrosion is a real issue. We use stainless hardware, weatherproof in-use covers per NEC 406.4, and rigid conduit instead of EMT in exposed runs. Cost matters less than service life on a coastal install.
How to reach us
Call (337) 570-2327 or use the contact page. Cameron Parish handles permits for Grand Lake addresses. We coordinate the inspection.
Times are typical, not guaranteed. Traffic, weather, and parts on hand can shift them. We will tell you a real window when you call.
Who issues your Grand Lake permit.
Grand Lake sits in southern Cameron Parish along the lake. Electrical permits are issued through Cameron Parish Permits. We confirm flood zone elevation requirements with the parish before we pull, then handle the inspection.
We pull the permit under our Louisiana contractor license, coordinate the rough and final inspections, and walk the inspector through the work so you do not have to.
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
They were really helpful and got to me the next day, a storm came through and my electric box outside got messed up really bad, I only had half of my house working. It was a fire hazard, waiting to happen. I had called many places to come out to look at it and they was putting me off, it was so scary. I was so blessed when I called them the owner came out the same day and said that they could come out the next day to fix it. I thank God this company was so worried about my house catching on fire, so he put me in front of other customers because he was really concerned. I highly Recommend this company Hayes Electric to everyone out there for problems, they were very reasonable, it did not cost me a fortune that I did not have. And by the way to let everyone know they do have a payment plan if you do not have the money at the time of their service. I can't thank them enough for being so concerned about the problem that I had. Again Thank Yall SOOO MUCH AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! TINA SCHIELE
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 in Grand Lake
Do you serve Grand Lake?
Yes, we cover Grand Lake in south Cameron Parish on the lake. It is the southern edge of our normal route but we work it on a project basis. Camp houses, waterfront homes, and primary residences are all on the menu.
How fast can you get to my home in Grand Lake?
Grand Lake is about a 45 minute to one hour run from our Lake Charles shop south on LA-27 and LA-384. Non-emergency work typically lands in a next-day or two-day window. Emergency arrival is closer to three hours, so we are honest about distance.
My Grand Lake camp is in a flood zone. How should the panel be set up?
For flood-prone addresses, we mount the panel and meter base well above base flood elevation, often on a raised stand or higher gable wall per the parish requirement. Conduit runs are above grade. After any flooding event, the panel and any submerged devices need replacement, not just drying.
Do I need a permit for a boathouse or dock circuit in Grand Lake?
Yes, dock and boathouse wiring needs a Cameron Parish permit and inspection. NEC 555 covers marina, dock, and boathouse wiring with stricter GFCI and equipotential bonding requirements than a normal outdoor circuit. We design to code and walk the inspector through.
After Hurricane Laura, my whole property was scoured. What is the rebuild path?
For a heavy storm rebuild, we start with a new service entrance sized for the rebuilt structure, then run the rough at framing. NEC 110.26 working clearance and 250 grounding are documented for the inspector. We coordinate with Entergy for the permanent reconnect.
