Instead of removing all the old, is it possible to just put a new layer
over
it?

get a quote for demo and debris removal, a quote to do a comlete new
drywall job, and a seperate quote for patch repair replace as needed.

get a seperate quote for a dumpster if needed and invite some friends
over to help with demo

you could go with blueboard and skim cote plaster, it costs more but
is far harder.

in any case all new will get you a far better looking job.

think of this how many times will you be doing this?

long term the rules on lead in paint will only get more strict, if you
replace everything all your walls will be lead free, a positive at
home sale time


Skimcoat plaster is only done by HACKS...Basecoat with Finish Coat over
Plaster Board is the proper way to go...
