Where would I find replacement sheetrock for my walls that will match what I have now?

Is it coated or tape and texture. If it is T&T than any lumber yard or home store, Home Depot etc. If it is coated check with the factory.

The sheet rock that is utilized, is prepared by a company that laminates the paper to the gypsum. This is often purchased by the manufactured housing manufacturer, and not laminated in house. As fashions and styles change, the designers will choose new paper patterns. When this occurs, the old styles may no longer be available. Also after a period of time, some papers tend to yellow from the ambiant conditions within the home. When this occurs, a new sheet of rock, positioned next to the already installed sheet will have a different color, not allowing the color match. All this being said, your best bet is to wallpaper the old sheet rock, as opposed to attempting to match, if your dealer does not have any in stock.
