"I was impressed with Chuck from Shamrock Chimney. He was realistic in his discussion and went thru various options from converting to a gas fireplace to wood inserts. He discussed the issues with the existing field stone face and converting to a two way fireplace. He certainly made me comfortable to consider Shamrock should the project move forward."

"We were told our custom 1970s stone fireplace with a hole in the fire box was a tear out by companies who sell fireplaces and fireboxes, and this is a $20k -no exaggerating $20k- fix if we wanted to replace the enormous fire place in our home. We had some buyers remorse for this home at that point because no service was available for a tear out either unless they also did the rebuild work so removing it wasn't an option. We have been stuck for years without use the of a large fixure. We thought a repair might be a short term solution and it ended up being a long term solution and with repairs we are LOVING the fireplace experience. The repairs are beautiful. I plan to finish the rest of the fire box next season."

"Rick was great! We just bought a home with a wood burning fireplace with vented gas logs. On top of the cleaning he taught me how to use the fireplace safely, how to keep it and the logs clean, and he rearranged the setup to make the flame look 100% better. He answered all of my questions thoroughly and gave me advice and a quote for a repair we need on the chimney."

Fireplace Cleaners questions, answered by experts

The main difference between limewash and German schmear is their core ingredient. Limewash is made from crushed limestone, while German schmear uses a mortar base. This affects their application, appearance, and longevity. German schmear involves applying a thin layer of mortar to brick or stone and then partially wiping it off. In contrast, limewash is a type of paint. German schmear is essentially permanent, lasting one to two decades with minimal maintenance, whereas limewash has a shorter lifespan of five to seven years. Cost-wise, German schmear is about $1 to $4 per square foot and is typically only available in white or gray.

When comparing which is better between German schmear, whitewash, and limewash, your answer will depend on the look you're going for. German schmear is the best option for those who want a heavily distressed look for their brick without full coverage. Whitewash is best if you like the current brick color and want it to show through. Limewash paint is best for full coverage.

Limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces if you apply them correctly. Use on non-suitable surfaces can cause issues. For instance, applying limewash or whitewash to surfaces with existing sealants or incompatible materials may lead to poor adhesion or flaking. Also, harsh cleaning agents on limewashed or whitewashed surfaces can damage the finish. Proper preparation, application, and maintenance ensure that limewash and whitewash do not harm surfaces.

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.

You may be wondering: can you paint cement? Fortunately, the answer is yes.

To change the color of your cinder blocks, you have two options. You can either paint them or stain them. Either way, you'll be able to choose from a wide range of color options. Some popular colors for cinder block painting include off-white shades and gray tones, which add a modern spin to the traditional gray blocks.
