The lines are perfect. Sorensen ruined, however, every single wood surface inside and outside my house. Failed painting jobs on improperly prepared wood is very difficult to repair. They were unable to admit to severe damages, tried to bully me, and had excessive financial demands.
- In the living room, the paint chipped off the wall within 4 weeks (photo). - They painted the outside porch only incompletely. Worst, they did not prime the porch frames at all, then leaned the still wet frames against each other so that the single layer paint that was not primed just chipped and wiped off. Sorenson never returned to fix this either. - Sorensen had severe difficulties painting my front door and the color has chipped off in places very quickly. They had to repeat painting the door several times and stated they would not charge me for it because they used the wrong paint (car paint!). We, however, received an additional $10,000 bill in addition to the $60,000 they had already cached in. When I requested fixing all the damages first, Mr Sorensen himself stopped by the house with his cousin one morning when my husband was at work and bullied me into paying more. Only with the help of an attorney were we able to stop their demands and appearing at our property. Nothing has been repaired or completed.
These painters are wonderful. They did the job on time and within budget. I would recommend them to anyone that needs painting done.

Frank may be a good painter, I don't know. I wrote a polite message asking him to take a look at a deck project because he was Angies-listed under deck maintenance. The project would have required stripping the peeling paint, which admittedly is difficult. His reply was curt, "stripping paint...

Jim and his team cut my cost by about 50% by not replacing the drywall but restoring what I had (with multiple layers of wallpaper) to make it paint ready. It's now been painted and looks great.

Painting questions, answered by experts
If your popcorn ceiling is asbestos-free and you are ready for a new look, painting is an option. As long as there is no flaking or other wear, a new coat of paint might be just the thing to refresh the old ceiling. The best way to paint a popcorn ceiling is to use either a paint sprayer or a thick roller to cover the popcorn texture fully. (Do not forget to dust it off beforehand!)
“Note that if you eventually want to remove the popcorn ceiling, a painted ceiling is a labor-intensive job to remove and will cost more,” says Bob Tschudi. “Once painted, the process of removing the popcorn ceiling requires physical scraping as opposed to a spray-and-scrape approach. It’s very labor-intensive, and thus more costly.”
Acrylic latex paint is the best option to use on your outdoor wrought iron fence, because it holds up well against the elements. Use a high-quality, exterior-grade paint specifically designed for use on metal. You can choose between spray paint or regular liquid paint. As for primer, it's best to use an oil-based and rust inhibiting option before painting your wrought iron fence.
The best sheen depends on your needs. Satin and eggshell sheens are often recommended for siding since their lightly reflective finish can help hide imperfections while being relatively easy to clean. Semi-gloss sheen is a great fit for trim since it’s incredibly easy to clean and more durable and moisture-resistant than satin and eggshell, but if you use it for the entire surface, its more reflective properties can highlight imperfections. This is also why high-glass sheen isn’t a great fit for the entire surface.
If you’re repainting with the same sheen, it’s possible to apply satin paint over satin. However, if you’re reducing the glossiness and using a flatter paint, you should sand first to take off some of the sheen. Sanding will also help the next coat of paint stick to the wall better, so it’s a good idea, even if you’re not changing the sheen.
Painting over polyurethane without sanding is not advisable. Sanding, followed by priming, is pivotal in ensuring proper adhesion of the new paint. Sanding creates a rough surface that allows the primer to adhere firmly, which helps paint cure correctly, providing a long-lasting and smooth finish. Neglecting thorough sanding, followed by a paint primer, could lead to the paint not adhering effectively, causing peeling or uneven application.
