The sweetest people ever, they were very nice and you know they know what they are talking about when it comes to their work. I was only able to do the first half of the work. We had some issues with ENTERGY but they were able to help resolve the issues in a timely manner. Thank you!

Electrical Services in Grand Lake
Grand Lake service from Hayes Electrical. Same-day response on most calls. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles electrical services for homes and businesses in Grand Lake, and the surrounding Southwest Louisiana area. Licensed, bonded, insured, with our Lifetime Craftsmanship Guarantee on every job.
What this work usually runs.
Grand Lake 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.
Grand Lake sits along the Calcasieu River corridor and the Grand Lake basin, where salt-laden air, FEMA Special Flood Hazard Area (SFHA) elevations, and waterfront infrastructure shape every job we run. Our work here covers boat dock and pier electrical, fish-cleaning station circuits, elevated service panels above the base flood elevation, marine-rated outdoor receptacles, propane standby generator installs, and the full residential scope on camp and full-time homes alike.
Because of the salt environment, we plan installs with corrosion as a first-class concern. Exterior boxes get the proper NEMA 4X rating, hardware is stainless 316 grade where it has any chance of seeing weather, and outdoor receptacle covers are in-use weatherproof per NEC 406.4. Dock and pier wiring follows NEC 555 (marinas, boatyards, and docking facilities), pool and spa work follows NEC 680, and service equipment on FEMA SFHA properties gets set above the base flood elevation per the parish floodplain ordinance. We pull permits through the Cameron Parish AHJ at Grand Lake addresses and through the Calcasieu Parish office for the in-Calcasieu portions of the river corridor.
We run from a Lake Charles shop, so Grand Lake addresses are typically a 30 to 45 minute drive. We batch waterfront work so we can stage materials and minimize trips, schedule larger jobs on continuous days rather than half-day fragments, and coordinate the Entergy disconnect when a service change is in scope.
What we look at for this job
Permits and inspections
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. Permit work runs under LA Lic #73821. You do not touch the paperwork.
What's covered

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.
My experience with Hayse Electrical was a very possitive one. At my first meeting with Dorian and I explaining my situation with my problem I was having, he explained what the company was going to do in very precise detail, was able to quote me a price right away and set up an appointment in the meeting. On the day of my appointment McKenzie and Hayden called me ahead of time to say they were on their way and arrived when said time. They both worked continually all day til all the work was done. Both men were very nice and worked well together and alone. I would recommend Hayes Electrical, Dorian, Mckenzie and Hayden and I would use this company again.
Great price Brent, Mackenzie and Bailey worked diligently each and every day till they finished. It was hot as there was no power in the trailer, but they never complained. Anytime I asked a question they had an answer. I highly recommend Hayes Electric. His people are the best!!!
I've had the privilege of getting to know Juliet and Dorian, and what stands out most is how much they care about people. They are genuine, kind, and passionate about doing things the right way qualities that shine through in the way they serve their customers and lead their company. In an industry where trust matters, Juliet and Dorian embody integrity, authenticity, and heart. I'd recommend them to anyone looking for electricians who treat their customers like family.
Common questions for Electrical Services in Grand Lake
Do you work on waterfront properties in Grand Lake?
Yes. A large share of our Grand Lake work is on river-corridor and Grand Lake addresses with docks, piers, and boat lifts. We plan for salt-air corrosion, FEMA flood elevations, and the NEC 555 requirements that apply to dock and pier electrical.
Who issues permits for electrical work in Grand Lake?
It depends on the address. Grand Lake addresses are under the Cameron Parish AHJ. Properties along the Calcasieu River corridor inside Calcasieu Parish are permitted through the Calcasieu Parish office. We confirm the jurisdiction before we quote and pull the permit through the correct office.
How long is the drive to Grand Lake from your shop?
About 30 to 45 minutes from our Lake Charles shop, depending on the address and traffic. We batch waterfront work so we can stage materials and minimize trips, and we schedule larger jobs on continuous days.
