    It is not too hard but a lot of work. If it is just walls and no overhead then I would do it myself.

    I'd hire out the sanding, but the rest is not too tough. I hate sanding drywall.

    If you've never worked with it before, I'd hire it done. You can give yourself a migraine working with sheet rock if you don't have any idea of what you're doing.

    It depends on the project too. If you want this to look really good then get a professional. If you do not mine a few imperfections then do it yourself. The sanding is bad but it is not too hard to hang and putty.
