Q: Can you repoint over old mortar?

• <div><p>You will repoint over a fraction of the old mortar, but you should scrape away 1/2 to 1 inch of mortar from the joints before repointing. Otherwise, the repointing is only masking the weakened mortar instead of actually replacing it, which could put your chimney at risk of bigger, more expensive damages later on.</p></div>

Q: Are stone houses practical?

• <div><p>Stone houses used to be much more practical, but with the advent of stronger and cheaper materials like concrete, they aren&rsquo;t seen as much anymore. There are some parts of the world where it makes sense to build with stone, and they are usually next to a stone quarry. Stone is, however, very weather-resistant, which is why many homes near the sea and on mountains are still built with local stone. </p></div>

Q: What are the disadvantages of stone houses?

• <div><p>Unfortunately, there are many disadvantages to stone houses. They are slow to build and the materials are pricey, both of which balloon the total cost. Stone walls require a more robust foundation, which costs more to install. Running plumbing, electrical, and HVAC through a stone house is much more difficult too, so homeowners need to seriously consider if the aesthetic benefit is worth the cost of building with stone. One of the<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/questions-ask-masonry-contractor.htm"> questions to ask a masonry contractor</a> is if a similar aesthetic can be achieved with another material. </p></div>

Q: What kind of stain can you use on brick?

• <div><p>If you want to avoid damaging your home's brick, you should always use a stain specifically formulated for masonry projects. These stains are designed to penetrate the porous surface of the brick and bond with it, unlike paints, which sit on the surface and are prone to peeling and flaking. Look for stains labeled for use on brick or other masonry surfaces. Avoid using regular paint on brick, as it will not adhere well and will likely lead to future maintenance issues. </p></div>

Q: What is the best color to paint a brick fireplace?

• <div><p>The best color to paint a brick fireplace comes down to personal taste. However, neutral colors&mdash;like white or gray&mdash;will open the space and create a bright modern look, making them popular options. However, choosing a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/overcoming-fear-color-home-decor.htm">bold color</a> can turn your fireplace into a feature piece that will be the talk of all family gatherings. </p></div>
