This week I had someone come and bid on installing sheet rock on my house.

He said that in some rooms, where I asked him to patch some holes, that
it's cheaper and easier to gut and replace then to patch.

It sounds as if you disbelieve him. A second local estimate
may help you decide.

A valid point. A sheet rocker, drywaller, and a plaster are different
animals.

ISTR the op's house is in Coconut Grove, just off Biscayne Bay.

Many of these homes are still repaired, trying to keep in favor of
historical features.

Jose and Hose B can hang sheet rock!
