Q: How serious are cracks in the chimney?

• <div><p>Cracks in the chimney can be very serious, depending on their location and size. Even small cracks can become serious over time if left unrepaired. Cracks allow heat and moisture to deteriorate your chimney and harmful carbon monoxide gas to seep into your home. Small cracks can often be caulked, while large cracked sections may require full replacement.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to shiplap a fireplace?

• <div><p>If you already have the tools, like a miter saw, a stud finder, and a nail gun or hammer, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-shiplap-cost.htm">installing shiplap costs</a> <b>$500 to $1,000</b> for supplies. You&rsquo;ll also spend <b>$200 to $2,200</b> for the cost of an electric fireplace if you decide to add one into your setup.</p><p>You can also hire a carpenter for <b>$35 to $100 per hour</b>, plus the cost of materials, to install shiplap around your fireplace. If you need help installing a fireplace before adding the shiplap, labor can cost <b>$225 to $2,180</b> for <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-much-does-installing-fireplace-or-woodstove-cost.htm#cost-factors">fireplace installation costs</a>. </p></div>

Q: Should I paint a fireplace with a roller or brush?

• <div><p>You should use an angled brush to first paint the mortar lines, then go in with a high-density roller to evenly paint the bricks one at a time. You can also use a flat paintbrush to paint individual bricks, but a roller is faster and easier to use thanks to its longer handle and wider surface area for coating the bricks. To finish, go in with the paint brush for edges or hard-to-reach areas.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between limewash and German schmear?

• <div><p>Some homeowners compare <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/german-schmear-vs-limewash.htm">German schmear versus limewash</a> because they look similar, though they&rsquo;re different techniques. German schmear involves a thin application of mortar to stone or brick, which is then partially wiped off the surface. German schmear is more affordable ($1 to $4 per square foot), and it lasts one or two decades with minimal maintenance. As a downside, it only comes in white or gray.</p></div>

Q: Can You Limewash Surfaces Other Than Brick?

• <div><p>Yes, you can limewash surfaces other than brick. Plaster, stone, stucco, and concrete can all also be limewashed. Any porous surface that will absorb the wash is a good candidate for limewash, although it won&rsquo;t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you&rsquo;ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can&rsquo;t absorb limewash, so it&rsquo;s not suited for these.</p></div>

Jacked up the porch, framed and installed 3 doors, built stairs. This was all done to fit the architecture of a house built in 1880. Very professional and knowledgeable regarding repairs to an old house. Would definitely hire again. Highly recommended.

Horrible, absolutely horrible. DO NOT use this company. Company charges $289 to come out and look at your hot tub with the claim that the $289 will be applied to the total repair cost. Once they finally came to my house in mid July to look at the tub, the tech identified the issue right where...

He started with a price of $380 which was a bit high and then he said he found another problem after he started. Now it is $500 dollar repair on an $800 six yr old fridge. I could have spent another $400 and had a new one. Will not use him again.
