Q: What are options for refacing a gas fireplace?

• <div><p>You may have some limitations when looking for materials and a design to reface your gas fireplace versus what&rsquo;s available for a traditional wood-burning fireplace. Some <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/gas-fireplace-surround-ideas.htm">gas fireplace surround ideas</a> include stone, concrete, brick, tile, wood, steel, and plaster. However, you should check with the manufacturer of your gas fireplace model to determine if you have any limitations on what you can use.</p></div>

Q: What kind of paint do you use to whitewash brick?

• <div><p>When it comes to painting your bricks, you&rsquo;ve got a few options. Traditionally, lime wash (a mix of aged, burned, and crushed lime and water) was used to whitewash brick or stone. You can also find premixed brick whitewash paint that cuts out a few steps and lets you get started faster. However, for the best results, we recommend using a DIY whitewash (white acrylic paint mixed with water).</p></div>

Q: How can I reface my fireplace inexpensively?

• <div><p>The most inexpensive option is to paint the brick facing of your existing fireplace. You can create an interesting design with the right color of paint, as long as the brick is in good shape. Sometimes, simply <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-clean-brick-fireplace.htm">cleaning the brick fireplace</a> makes a big difference in the way it looks. Otherwise, covering an existing stone, brick, or masonry fireplace facing with stucco or concrete is an inexpensive option versus tearing out the existing material and refacing the fireplace.</p></div>

Q: What can be salvaged after smoke damage?

• <div><p>Hard materials like glass, metal, and hardwood floors, washable fabrics, and undamaged electrical appliances can often be salvaged after a fire, although it depends on the extent of the damage. For washable fabrics, make sure to use a phosphate mix during the washing process to extract the smoke smell. There are a few <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-to-throw-away-after-smoke-damage.htm">things you should throw away after a fire</a>, like canned foods and cosmetics, even if they don&rsquo;t look like they&rsquo;re damaged. </p></div>

Q: How serious are cracks in the chimney?

• <div><p>Cracks in the chimney can be very serious, depending on their location and size. Even small cracks can become serious over time if left unrepaired. Cracks allow heat and moisture to deteriorate your chimney and harmful carbon monoxide gas to seep into your home. Small cracks can often be caulked, while large cracked sections may require full replacement.</p></div>
