"I was in the middle of a master  bathroom renovation that I did not finish (for years!) along with a second bathroom bump-out into the first bathroom's master bedroom. Part of the master bathroom problems was a door I moved and poorly hung. Victor did a walk through stated he needed to buy supplies and that they would be in addition to the $Deal. He went, he came back with a sheet of drywall, corner beading and a sack of mud and handed me the receipt. Victor swung into action REHUNG the master bathroom door, closed up SIX wall openings with drywall, installed the corner beading and did the rough mud work on the walls. His work is AMAZING. I knew when I bought the $Deal that there was no way the he could complete all the wall work in one day...but he came close. We negotiated the price to finish the job and again he was reasonable and I reimbursed him for the supplies he bought. He also gave me  an estimate on repairing the ceiling in the master bedroom. I wish I had known about Victor sooner. He lives in Henderson and he will be back working on my home many, many times.

"This is a very professional company. Victor was prompt and fair. He helped me choose the best colors for the job. Ivoneth in the office was very helpful answering all my emails. When I accidentally spilled leftover paint in the back yard, Victor power washed the cool decking and concrete at no extra charge. I recommend Diesel Painting & Drywall without hesitation."

Drywall questions, answered by experts

Drywall mudding can be done in one day if the project is small and the desired effect isn’t too complex. If you need multiple layers of mud, one day may not be realistic. But a single room that requires little more than joint compound on the seams and screws can be done in a day or two.

Although they have similar applications, spackle and joint compound are not the same. Their primary differences lie in their composition, consistency, and ideal use cases.

Spackle is composed of gypsum and binding agents, making it thicker than joint compound. It dries quickly and is easy to sand, which makes it ideal for small wall repair projects like filling nail holes or patching minor damage.

Joint compound, also known as drywall mud, consists of limestone and gypsum. It is primarily used for large-scale projects, such as taping and finishing the seams on newly installed drywall. It tends to shrink more than spackle and can be more difficult to spread.

While both products can be used to fill small depressions and cracks, spackle cannot replace joint compound for taping and mudding new drywall. Conversely, you can often use joint compound for small patching jobs typically done with spackle.

A post-drywall inspection could uncover many problems that weren’t present during the pre-drywall inspection, including insufficient insulation, missing weather stripping, improperly installed plumbing and lighting fixtures, flooring damage, drywall damage, plumbing leaks, aesthetic issues, and more. Structural problems, which are often expensive to fix and are common reasons to walk away after a home inspection, are easier to see before the drywall goes up, but a post-drywall inspection may highlight minor issues with house settling and foundation problems.

While a normal moisture level for drywall is between 5% and 12%, replacement is recommended if you get consistent readings above 17%. At this level, the drywall is likely too compromised by extensive moisture damage to be considered safe. You can replace either the entire sheet or just the affected section. If you are unsure after a visual inspection, it is best to have a contractor or water restoration provider use a professional moisture meter to get an accurate reading.

It is possible to apply plaster on the interior or exterior of your home, but we don’t recommend it. Plaster is easy to apply in theory, but in reality, it can be a challenging material to work with, and it’s difficult to get the finished product to look clean, even, and smooth. Many DIYers end up calling in a professional afterward to touch up the area or even redo it entirely because of mistakes they made in the process. Hiring a plaster pro will cost more, but it’s usually the best option to achieve high-quality results.
