Drywall – How to prepare a wall painted with sandpaint and construction adhesive

drywall

I have a section of wall that was painted with sand paint. It also had paneling halfway up the wall that was adhered with construction adhesive. My goal is to have a smooth, flat wall, and paint it. I also want to move an electrical switch and add an electrical outlet.

How can I best prepare the wall?

Remove the existing drywall or go over the existing drywall with new drywall. Depending how much electrical work you want to do or if there's any insulation work to be done.
