All went well.  Mike arrived on time and began in the fireplace.  He cleaned the firebox, and connected a vacuum to the chimney to remove the soot from the interior.  He prepared the space well, securing the vacuum and using a drop cloth on the hearth and nearby carpet.  No dust or debris was left and we didn't need to move any furniture.  Mike also inspected the exterior of the chimney, from the ground and from the roof.  He took photos of some damage to the cap and of moss that cant be seen from the ground. He recommended areas that may need attention, and suggested things to better maintain our fireplace and get more years out of it.



We will definitely call them again for any chimney work.

"Our wood-burning living room fireplace has been non-functional since we bought our home 10+ years ago. We had a temporary seal to keep cold air from coming in since the damper was rusted in a partially open state. We asked the Fluez brothers for help in sealing it since we do not plan to use it. They gave us an easy solution which did not involve sealing the entire chimney (we have a working fireplace downstairs that uses the same chimney, albeit separate flue). I got 3 quotes and the Fluez brothers’ quote was most thorough. Their work did not disappoint. The scheduling of the job and it’s completion were done professionally. I love the warm living room this season. During the repair they noticed one other problem and gave me the option of doing it right then for a bit more money or deferring to later. I appreciated the fact that the person on-site spent the time sending me pictures and then talking to me about why the problem needed to be addressed. That interaction was fantastic and I felt very comfortable having them address the problem at the same time. Overall, I was satisfied with all aspects of the job - their response to my request for quote, their follow up, the execution of the job, and their stellar communication to me through it all! Thanks Fluez brothers!"

Fireplace Cleaners questions, answered by experts

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.

You can turn a red brick white through a process called whitewashing. Whitewash isn’t a stain but rather is made from water and white latex paint. Adding more water to the mix will make the solution look lighter when applied, and adding more paint will make it look more white.

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.

Yes, it is essential to prime or seal a brick fireplace before painting. Brick is a porous and highly absorbent material, so without a primer, paint can seep into the surface, resulting in uneven coverage and allowing the natural brick color to show through. To avoid this, apply one or two coats of a masonry primer. The primer will seal the brick and provide a smooth, uniform layer for the paint to adhere to. Ensure the primer is completely dry before applying the topcoat of paint.

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.
