"Al was fantastic! He clearly explained that my fireplace was shutting off as a safety feature due to low oxygen levels. He also reassembled the logs in the firebox and showed me the proper way to start and stop the fireplace. Highly recommend his service!"

"I hired DJ of All Things Chimney to help me with some considerable repair on my chimney and install a liner for my Oil-fired boiler. He and his crew did an amazing job on the house. They were prompt, professional and extremely easy to work with. The liner was installed with no issues and my boiler is now much safer. After that was finished, I had him install a Regency Hi500 Wood stove insert to go into the worn out fireplace. His crew did an amazing job on the install! They removed the worn out hearth bricks and put in a beautiful piece of blue stone. Before and after pictures are on this review. It came out fantastic. Every person that has seen it has complemented how good it looks. I'm still stunned by the heat it throws out, I filled my oil tank in mid November and still have 1/4 tank left as the wood stove has immensely cut down on the boiler needing to fire. I highly recommend giving All Things Chimney a call if you need any chimney or fireplace work done."

"Professional and courtesy. I had to put new liner for the Chimney and do some brick work pointing. All work done in few hours. Don't know if there is any problem yet. I'll find out in the winter when I use the heat. Overall, I am happy with their service."

"2 professionals where very informative, answered all my questions, gave me details of what was good and needed repair of fireplace and flue. My issue, Dampener was removed all heat going up chimney. I wanted it capped off complete as I was not using fireplace, Their solution, new cap at top but with a pulley so I can open cap to use fireplace if I wanted, but gave a solid seal when not in use. All done within a hour."

Fireplace Cleaners FAQs, answered by experts

Limewash and whitewash are two techniques used to give brick a light, matte finish, but they differ in composition, application, and permanence. The best choice depends on your aesthetic goals and the specific surface.

Composition

  • Limewash: A natural and environmentally friendly option made from limestone, water, and sometimes pigments. It is breathable and soaks into porous surfaces like brick.

  • Whitewash: Traditionally made from lime, water, chalk, and binders, but a similar look can be achieved with watered-down white paint. It is paint-based and sits on top of the surface.

Appearance and Finish

  • Limewash: Provides a natural, textured appearance that allows the brick's character to show through. It offers a more traditional finish.

  • Whitewash: Creates a softer, more opaque finish, often used for a rustic or shabby-chic style.

Application and Permanence

  • Limewash: Is semi-permanent and can be removed, making it a good choice if you might want to change the look in the future. It requires more skill to apply and cannot be used on previously painted brick.

  • Whitewash: Is a more permanent solution. It is more forgiving to apply and can be used on painted brick. However, because it sits on the surface, it can trap moisture.

Ultimately, if you want a breathable, natural, and reversible finish for unpainted brick, limewash is a great option. If you need a more permanent, opaque coating that can be applied over painted surfaces, whitewash is the better choice. Whitewashing may also be more economical, costing approximately $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.

Yes, brick should be clean before staining to ensure the best results. Dirt, dust, mold, mildew, and other substances on the brick can prevent the stain from properly adhering to it. Thoroughly cleaning the brick allows the stain to penetrate and bond to the surface more effectively. Cleaning typically involves using a pressure washer or a stiff brush with mild detergent. However, stubborn residue may require a specialized masonry cleaner.

When it comes to painting your bricks, you’ve got a few options. Traditionally, lime wash (a mix of aged, burned, and crushed lime and water) was used to whitewash brick or stone. You can also find premixed brick whitewash paint that cuts out a few steps and lets you get started faster. However, for the best results, we recommend using a DIY whitewash (white acrylic paint mixed with water).

The most inexpensive option is to paint the brick facing of your existing fireplace. You can create an interesting design with the right color of paint, as long as the brick is in good shape. Sometimes, simply cleaning the brick fireplace makes a big difference in the way it looks. Otherwise, covering an existing stone, brick, or masonry fireplace facing with stucco or concrete is an inexpensive option versus tearing out the existing material and refacing the fireplace.

Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.
