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’t help much with waterproofing. If you choose to limewash over paint, you’ll need to prep before applying it to avoid a powdery, chalky finish. Shiny surfaces like metal or glass can’t absorb limewash, so it’s not suited for these.</p></div>

What is the best stone for steps and how much does it cost?

• <div><p>The material you use depends on how hard-wearing your steps need to be and what you want them to look like. The most common stone for exterior steps is bluestone. It’s hard-wearing and durable, and bluestone steps cost between <b>$15 and $30 per linear foot</b>. Limestone is also a popular option and is mid-range, costing <b>$25 to $50 per linear foot</b>. You should always consider the specific requirements of your project before ordering any materials.</p></div>

How long do bricks last?

• <div><p>Most classic red bricks can last 20 to 40 years without major repairs or renovations. If brick is maintained, it can easily last 100 to 150 years. When weighing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/brick-vs-brick-veneer.htm">brick vs. brick veneer</a>, homeowners are often surprised to learn that even thin veneers can be expected to last 50 to 100 years. </p></div>

Q: Are brick mailboxes allowed everywhere?

• <div><p>Certain towns and homeowner associations (HOAs) ban brick mailboxes because of the risk of obstruction. They are sometimes only permitted in cases where four or more homes share a mailbox. Homeowners may need to obtain special permits in some locations. One of the top <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/masonry-contractor-hiring-tips.htm">masonry contractor hiring tips</a> is to ask a local pro if they can show you examples of recent work that meets local code regulations.</p></div>

Q: Is stone veneer less expensive than stone?

• <div><p>Stone veneer siding is approximately four times less expensive than stone because it's made of concrete and aggregates instead of natural stone. But veneer looks like real stone, is easier to install, and acts as a great, durable siding option. </p></div>
