Q: What elements influence the pricing of installing a non-gas brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material type, labor, chimney requirements, and structural reinforcements.</p></div>

Q: Can you apply limewash with a roller?

• <div><p>No, you can't apply limewash with a roller and expect good results. Limewash is as much a technique as it is a type of paint, and a freehand application with a brush is part of that technique. Hand brushing a large area can be tiring, but limewash goes on easily and only requires thin coats to be effective. </p></div>

Q: Does the brick need to be cleaned before staining?

• <div><p>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. </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>

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.
