[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Definitely worth it.

We DIY'd it.

Not only does it look and smell so much better, we were able to fix mistakss in electricity and insulation made by a previous owner, we also found and filled holes that critters and bugs were using to get in, repair some pipes that were on their last legs. And get rid of a few mice carcasses from above listed holes.

There was also water damage from pinhole pipe leaks that you could not see frol the dark paneling.

Definitely worth it.[/quote]

Okay thank you so much!!. I don't know if I trust my skills to DIY but I bave seen so many painted over panels that I thought maybe it wasn't worth the expense.

I think people paint over paneling b/c they hate it.  If you like paneling and don't have strong DIY skills, you can definitely find a contractor who can repair it for you.  If you want to get rid of it, you can also find someone who will do that.

Personally, it's your time or your money.  It's better to pay for a job to be done correctly than attempt to fix something out of your skill set.
