Looking for someone who has experience in drywalling - My mom has a room completely covered in 70’s paneling. Before I attempt to do this myself because the materials are relatively cheap, I’d rather try to find someone to do it to save time.

I could do it,what are the dimensions? Is it tear down to the studs or bare room?Are you looking for a finished job or just hanging it? Its really easy if you do it yourself you know, you could save an ass load of money. Any pics of the room?

^ Good luck trying to get someone to finish off your mess. There is a lot more than just throwing it up there. Screws need to countersunk perfect, and joints need to be tight. It just depends on how nice you want the finished product to be. I would have no problem doing it for you, but I am going to be too busy to take on any more work till late spring/ early summer. If you want to wait that long pm me.

well, it sounded like he was half-competent seeing as how he was thinking about doing it himself.

A screwgun, a friend and a rented drywall lift (if doing ceilings), and he could easily do a good job.

It’s not difficult at all.
