HI Deana,
Have you considered filling the seams or painting the paneling?
Hi Deana,
I actually have the same issue in my basement and we are thinking about how we want to go about remodeling it. You could put dry wall over the paneling but keep in mind you will have to redo any door frame or window frame trim and the baseboards. We may just repaint our wood paneling to a brighter lighter color. However we don't plan to stay in this house for a long time either.
Tiffany is correct. Just paint it.
Make sure the paneling is clean and dry. Prime with a good stain blocking primer like Kilz. Then paint like painting regular walls. Acrilyc latex paint will work. If the paneling has grooves you can fill them with non shrink drywall patching compound. Just put on enough to fill the grooves. Let it dry overnight. Next day use a damp sponge to smooth the patch. Then prime and paint.
It’s best to remove the paneling.
If the panels aren’t adhered properly, anything you attach over will fail. Your best bet is to remove the panels.
