Sheetrock Drywall Wall Repair
A mobile home wall is usually 3/8 inch sheetrock drywall covered with a "wallpaper" design. This vinyl covered drywall can be hard to match if you are looking to repair or replace a piece. Repair the hole and then paint the wall or entire room, you can use a wall patch to fix this. I like to remove the batten strips that cover the sheetrock seams, then tape and mud them to give it the look of site built homes. You can remove the batten strips then tape and mud as you would on any sheetrock drywall. This is extra work, but looks good when you are done. I did mine that way.This really makes the rooms look great. This does not cost a lot and is an easy to do repair. If you paint just one wall with a slightly off setting color this will give an illusion of a larger room if you use a lighter color.

Wall Paneling Repair
You basically have two choices, either panel over all the existing paneling or replace the damaged piece of paneling. You can easily do it yourself. Remove the batten strips and top and bottom molding. If there is enough of the old paneling left on the wall you can put the new paneling over it if not you will have to take down all the damaged paneling to keep the wall flat and not have any dips, then simply nail up new paneling and then re-install the top and bottom molding and batten strips. The batten strips do not have to be re-installed if you wish. DIY stores carry paneling starting at about $9.00 a 4'x8' paneling sheet. Matching the other paneling exactly would be the biggest problem, however you can always paint the whole room to get everything to match. You will need a saw to cut to fit the paneling and a hammer and paneling nails. If can not DIY then get some estimates from a local handyman or carpenter. Do you homework on the the material and labor cost locally.
