About
Mayes Electric has delivered code-compliant commercial and residential electrical work across the St. Louis metro since 1973 — more than 53 years of continuous operation — and ranks in the top 4% of over 23,000 licensed Missouri electrical contractors on BuildZoom. For facility managers and property managers in St. Louis County, Jefferson County, St. Charles County, Franklin County, and the City of St. Louis, that track record translates directly into reduced inspection risk and dependable project delivery. The firm handles the full scope of commercial electrical work that keeps buildings operational: tenant finish and build-outs for office and retail spaces, power distribution and equipment wiring for industrial and warehouse facilities, and lighting controls and systems upgrades across commercial property types. Load issues and overheating diagnostics are explicitly listed services — critical for facility teams managing aging panelboards or high-demand multifamily and mixed-use properties. Code corrections round out the offering, giving building owners a resource when inspection deficiencies need to be resolved quickly. A former Fire Marshal who worked alongside owner Lou Mayes for 15 years noted that Mayes Electric's installations consistently exceed minimum NEC code requirements — a meaningful endorsement for facility managers who need work to pass inspection the first time. The firm operates Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., reflecting a focus on planned commercial work rather than reactive emergency dispatch. Mayes Electric is a strong fit for smaller commercial portfolios, tenant improvement projects, and code-correction scopes where a seasoned, owner-operated contractor with deep St. Louis-area relationships delivers consistent, inspection-ready results.
