01 / SERVICE AREA

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.

Outlet and switch relocation in Grand Lake comes up most often during kitchen and bath remodels on second homes, after a furniture rearrangement in a great room overlooking the lake, and during corrosion-driven device moves where the original location is no longer reachable through a salt-pitted box.

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 Grand Lake home we cut minimal openings using old-work boxes (typically 18 cubic inches single-gang indoors, NEMA 4X outdoors) and fish NM-B through the wall cavity, switching to THHN/THWN in PVC if any portion of the run exits the conditioned envelope. The old box location is closed with a blank cover and listed splice if conductors remain, or the wire is pulled back to the source and abandoned cleanly.

Cameron Parish does not require a permit for relocation of a single existing device on the same circuit. Multiple-device or new-circuit work is permitted.

  Permits

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.

  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 Grand Lake

Can you move an outlet in my Grand Lake 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 Grand Lake 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 existing Grand Lake device color?

Yes. We stock ivory, white, almond, and black decora and traditional devices and plates so a relocated device matches what is already on the wall.
