First, re-nail or glue any loose joints or warped sections on the existing paneling. Next, clean the old paneling with warm water and mild detergent.

Use the old paneling as a pattern for laying out and cut- ting the size of the new paneling. The new paneling should be attached to the old with both adhesive and color-matching paneling nails. Before you start, carefully remove and label each piece of molding. When working around windows and doorways, butt thin paneling flush to the molding. Then cover the seam with small molding, such as a quarter round of lattice painted to match. 1b accommodate thickness around light switches and outlets, raise the outlets by adding outlet box extensions.
