About
Kaough & Jones Electric Company, Inc. has been a cornerstone of industrial and heavy commercial electrical construction across the southern United States since 1954 — over seven decades of continuous field experience that few regional contractors can match. Headquartered in Lake Charles, LA, the firm operates across the Gulf South on projects ranging from complex industrial facilities and government infrastructure to heavy commercial buildings and municipal installations. Their in-house EPC and Design-Build capability means facility managers and general contractors can engage Kaough & Jones from early-stage budget pricing through final commissioning, reducing coordination risk on large, multi-discipline projects. The electrical construction scope spans power distribution, switchgear, panelboards, and emergency standby power systems — a critical specialization in coastal Louisiana, where hurricanes and severe weather routinely threaten critical infrastructure. Their emergency power division works across private and bid-spec markets with all major generator and UPS manufacturers, making them a reliable partner for healthcare, industrial, and government facilities that cannot tolerate downtime. A particularly differentiated capability is their 30-plus-year specialization in FAA airfield lighting, airfield guidance systems, vault rehabilitation, and NavAids — a technically demanding niche requiring deep regulatory familiarity that sets them apart from general commercial electricians. Maintenance services are offered on flexible contract terms, supporting ongoing system reliability for facility managers who need a single accountable vendor. Through partnerships with specialized providers, they also deliver turnkey special systems including fire and gas detection, public address, and structured cabling. For property managers and facility directors overseeing industrial plants, government facilities, warehouses, or institutional campuses in the Lake Charles region and across the Gulf South, Kaough & Jones offers the engineering depth, project scale experience, and regional regulatory knowledge to handle mission-critical electrical work.
