ok, so every wall in my house has sssoooo much texture it horrible. it looks
like some one took a paint brush and just went crazy splattering paint every
where. would it be cheaper to sand down every wall till it is smooth or just
replace? and what is the price of drywall, also would it be better to
contract some one out to do it, that way i know its done correctly (price?)???

scraping, sanding, skim coating by a qualified professional would probably
be done in less than a day per room. replacing would likely be a double or
more.

Easier to sand it all than tear it out and replace. Hire a pro.

You could also look at having an "orange peel" coating put over the
walls with the paint splatters.
Another option would be to paint with a faux finish that also had
texture to it.

Before you hire a pro grab a pole sander and some sand paper and see if you
can sand it off. In most cases paint doesn't sand off very well though.
