Can you remove limewash from brick?

• <div><p>Limewash can be removed from brick, but the method of removal will depend on how long the limewash has been on the brick. If the limewash has fully dried—which happens after about five days—you’ll need to use a diluted muriatic acid mixture to remove it. If there are multiple coats of limewash, you may need to apply the acid mixture several times to fully remove it from the brick.</p></div>

Q: How much does it cost to install a brick or stone fireplace?

• <div><p>Costs range from $3,500 to $15,000, depending on material, labor, and design complexity.</p></div>

Q: Why can’t I drill into the brick?

• <div><p>Some older brick material is extremely hard, making it tough to create a hole. Rather than using a typical wood drill bit, always use a masonry drill bit when drilling into brick. For extremely hard brick, using a power drill with a hammer function may give you better results. The drill bit will heat up as it goes into the extremely hard brick, so you may need to stop after a few minutes and allow the bit to cool before starting to drill again.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between river rock and landscape rock?

• <div><p>The difference between river rock and landscaping rocks is size, smoothness, and use. River rocks are smooth and flat, as if polished by water, and come in diameters between 1 and 8 inches. Landscape rock can vary in size from small pea gravel installations to car-sized boulders. However, landscaping and river rocks are interchangeable in many situations. River rock is best for pathways, walkways, garden bed mulch, water features, and planting accents, while small landscape rocks can serve as a walkway base, gravel playground areas, and filler between pavers.</p></div>

Q: Can you enlarge windows in a brick house?

• <div><p>Yes, you can enlarge windows in a brick house. Your masonry contractor will need to cut away exterior brick to make space for the larger window, and you may also need to consult a structural engineer to make sure the window is properly supported inside the frame of the house.</p></div>

Horrible. I corrected one section for an additional $1,000 by someone who knows what they are doing. The original job was the worst masonry job you can ever hope for. Total rip off. Don't use this vendor. It took forever to complete and he left inexperienced help to do most of the work and...
