Q: What is the difference between limewash and whitewash?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re deciding between <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/limewash-vs-whitewash.htm">limewash versus whitewash</a>, know that both have a chalky matte appearance. Limewash is made from lime, water, and sometimes pigment, while whitewash consists of lime, water, white chalk, and binders (though you can get a similar look with watered-down white paint). Whitewash has fewer options for color customization, and it sits on surfaces instead of being absorbed into them, which can trap moisture. Whitewashing costs less&mdash;about $1.40 to $4.20 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Do limewash and whitewash harm surfaces?

• <div><p>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. </p></div>

Q: Which is better: German schmear, whitewash, or limewash?

• <div><p>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. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-limewash-paint.htm">Limewash paint</a> is best for full coverage.</p></div>

Q: How do various elements influence the expense of repairing a non-gas pre-fabricated fireplace unit?

• <div><p>Costs depend on material damage, labor, replacement parts, and whether additional structural work is required.</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>
