WESTLAKE
Westlake service from Hayes Electrical. Call (337) 570-2327.
Hayes Electrical handles home electrical rewiring for homes and businesses in Westlake 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.
Whole-home rewiring in Westlake is usually scoped for two situations: a 1970s home with extensive aluminum branch wiring (common in Sulphur and Vinton) where AlumiConn pigtails are no longer enough, or a home with so many past patches and abandoned circuits that selective repair is no longer practical. Insurance carriers in Calcasieu Parish increasingly tighten coverage on aluminum-branch homes, and a planned rewire is far cheaper than a post-loss insurance fight.
We rewire with modern NM-B (14/2 and 12/2 for general circuits, 10/3 and 6/3 for larger loads), drop new home-runs from a replaced 200A panel, and add NEC 210.12 AFCI and NEC 210.8 GFCI protection where current code requires. Old aluminum or degraded NM is removed where accessible (attic, crawl, accessible wall cavities); inaccessible runs are de-energized and abandoned in place per NEC. Boxes are upgraded from shallow original boxes to listed deep-set boxes that meet NEC 314 fill for modern devices.
A whole-home rewire is a permitted job at the Calcasieu Parish Office of Permits and Inspections. We file the permit, schedule the rough inspection before drywall patching, and the finish inspection after trim. We coordinate with the homeowner on which areas are powered down each day so a kitchen and a bedroom stay live throughout.
Electrical permits in Westlake are issued by City of Westlake Permits at the municipal building. We pull the permit before work starts and coordinate the inspection so the project closes out clean. 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 home electrical rewiring. Same answer we would give a friend in Westlake or Carlyss, whether or not we end up winning the job.

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.
Great price Brent was very helpful and professional and was able to provide a variety of repair options to choose from. Bailey and Mackenzie were able to complete the repairs promptly and efficiently. Overall, we are very satisfied with the services provided!
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. We may have had a hiccup once (not their fault) didn't matter they were on top of it thru the entire install. It literally was the easiest install of anything in my house ever!! 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!!
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!
Most homes that size finish in two to three weeks, with the home livable throughout. Larger or more complex layouts can run four to six weeks.
Usually no. We work zone by zone and keep the kitchen and at least one bedroom powered every day. Full outages happen only during the panel changeover.
Most homeowner policies do not cover the rewire itself, but many carriers offer significant premium reductions (or remove a non-renewal threat) once the aluminum branch wiring is replaced with copper.
