Wires live in walls, and walls need to be put back
Almost every electrical project changes a wall. New outlets, recessed lights, ceiling fans, panel upgrades and rewiring all mean cutting into drywall, running cable and then closing it up again. The electrical work is the technical part. Closing the wall so you cannot tell it was ever opened is the part most homeowners are left to organize on their own.
Dieguez Drywall Company approaches electrical work from the wall side. We plan around what gets opened, what has to be patched and how it blends back in. That is especially useful in remodels, where wiring is roughed in before drywall goes up and inspection often has to happen first, and in older homes, where opening a wall to run new circuits is the moment to repair it properly.
Texas requires electrical work to be performed under the right state license, and permits and inspections apply to many projects. Before electrical work is scheduled, we confirm licensing and permit requirements for your job with you. For the wall side of it, see our drywall installation and drywall repair pages.
How electrical projects are handled
Tell us about your project when you call. This is what helps, and what happens next:
- Describe what you want. New outlets, lighting, fans, a panel change or full rewiring each need a different plan.
- Scope and licensing are confirmed first. Before work is booked, we confirm that it is a job we can take on and what permits and inspections apply.
- The wall is part of the plan. Opening, patching, texture and paint are scheduled with the wiring instead of left for later.
- Remodel wiring is sequenced. Rough-in goes in before drywall, inspection happens where required, and fixtures go in after finishing.
- Older homes get a closer look. Opening walls in an older house is the best time to check the framing and repair surfaces.
Why timing matters between electrical and drywall
In new work and remodels, electrical rough-in has to be complete, and inspected where the city requires it, before drywall closes the wall. If the order is wrong, walls get opened again, and that is how a tidy schedule turns into a messy one. Planning both together avoids that.
For smaller jobs in finished homes, the work runs in reverse: the wall is opened, wiring is run and the wall is patched and blended. A clean patch needs the right backing, taping and texture match, which is what drywall crews do all day.
Why homeowners call us when electrical touches the walls
Electrical projects end with a patched wall, and a patched wall is our specialty. Starting with a company that does both sides of the job keeps one person responsible for the final result.

Electrical questions
Do you repair the walls after electrical work?
Yes. Patching, finishing, texturing and painting the opened wall is our core work, and we plan it together with the wiring so the wall is closed properly.
Does Texas require a license for electrical work?
Yes. Electrical work in Texas must be done under the appropriate state license, and many projects also require permits and inspections. We confirm licensing and permit requirements with you before any electrical work is scheduled.
Do I need a permit to add outlets or lighting?
It depends on the scope and your city. Many projects need a permit and inspection, and your local building department can confirm what applies.
Why do walls need to stay open until inspection?
Inspectors check wiring before it is covered. If drywall is hung first, it may have to be cut out again, so the usual order is wiring, inspection, then drywall.
Can electrical be part of a remodel?
Yes. Wiring is roughed in before walls close and fixtures are installed after finishing, so it fits directly into the remodel sequence.
